T H E S T O R Y OF T H E Y E A R FOREWORD In adopting the title Year Book for this modest volume, the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions departs from its long-standing custom of publishing separately the annual reports of the four mission fields. Within these covers the reader will find the reports from the fields, the administra tive report of the Board and the reports from the societies at home. In the last pages of the book will be found items regarding the missionaries and the Treasury which will answer the questions so often asked by leaders of mission ary societies. A page of facts and figures covering the years 1874-1919 provides an outline for a historical sketch of the Woman’s Board for which we anticipate a demand in this Forty-fifth Anniversary Year.

CHINA A M O Y

MISSION,

CHINA,

Organized 1842 Area and Population. Area occupied, 6,000 square miles. Population, 3,000,000. Christians, 2,139. District. Fukien, the most Southern but one of the eighteen Districts in China. * Language. . The Amoy Vernacular, spoken by about 5,000,000 people. Climate. ' The latitude 24° 28', is about the same as that of Key West, Florida. “Spring and summer are rather trying; autumn and winter are beautiful and very healthful.” . Stations. Amoy— Population probably about 300,000. Chiang-chiu, popula tion probably about 200,000. Tong-an, .popuation probably about 40,000. Sio-khe, population probably about 10,000. Geographical and Historical Sketch , In the Formosa Channel, off the Southeastern coast of China, lies the island of Amoy. It is not a large island. One could easily walk across it in a couple of hours or round it in a day if only

there were roads in China, or if the surface of the ground were not so rough and ragged and if giant boulders did not obstruct one s path at every turn. • The city of Amoy, built, we are told, probably during the Ming Dynasty m 1394, lies at the Southeastern extremity of the island and contains a population variously estimated at from two to four hundred thousand people who are all crowded together into a space of not much more than two square miles. Our Amoy Missionaries do not, however, reside in the city or upon the island of Amoy, but upon the neighboring island of Kolongsu, whose name, “Drum-Wave-Island,” is easily understood when one stands upon the beach and,hears the sea pounding its way into the hollow of a huge rock called “Drum-Wave-Rock” upon the shore. But the field of our Amoy Mission is not confined to Am oy and Kolongsu. Tong-an is on the mainland North of Amoy while Chiang-chiu and Sio-khe carry us still farther inland up the Dragon River to the west of the island of Amoy. The Amoy Mission, the oldest of the Missions of the Reformed Church, was founded by the Rev. David Abeel on February 24, 1842, soon after the port of Amoy had been opened to the com merce of the world. He was followed by the Rev. Elihu Doty and the Rev. William Pohlman, the last named raising the money for and erecting in 1848 the Sin-koe-a Church in the city of Amoy, the first Church building in China for Chinese worshipers. They were succeeded by the Rev. John Van Nest Talmage, the father of Miss Kitty and Miss Mary Talmage. the Rev. Daniel Rapelje and the Rev. Leonard Kip. Of these pioneers of the Amoy Mission the Rev. Mr. Warnshuis, one of their ablest successors, has written: “To these men the privilege was given of not building on another man’s foundation. When Dr. Talmage arrived in Amoy (1847) there were no. churches, no schools, no Christian homes, no hospitals, and only three converts. In faith and prayer they toiled. When at the close of the century the last of these pioneers had been compelled to with draw, there were in Amoy connected with the work of our Mission alone 1,400 converts, eleven organized churches, forty-seven preach ing places, eleven ordained pastors wholly supported by their own churches, a theological seminary, two boarding schools for boys, five boarding schools for girls and women and three hospitals. H o w that work grew from year to year it is impossible to describe in this sketch if we would leave room to write of the work that is being done today. Neither can we mention the names of all the other men and women who have been sent out by the Reformed Church to do its work in Amoy. The proportion of those who could not endure the climate and were compelled by reason of broken health to return to the United States has been relatively large. Some have passed away and others are still living who would gladly have given their whole lives to the evangelization of China, but it could not be. ' To the Reformed Church God gave remarkable men of un bounded faith, deep piety and marked ability to found its Mission in China. To look back at their labors, to see what God hath wrought, is to hear the voice of our Lord and Master calling us to a larger faith and greater earnestness in hastening the completion of this great work “our share in the work of bringing back to allegiance to our Lord this, the greatest of His rebellious provinces.”

Educational Work In Amoy. Amoy Girls School. If the saying be true, “Happy is the nation which has no history,” then the “Developing Character” School has had a happy year, for, in spite of a world at war and of disturbing political conditions in China, it does not appear to have had much of what one could call “history” to record. The fighting between the Northern and Southern soldiers which so seriously affected the country schools had very little effect upon the Amoy school, the only inconvenience felt from it being that several girls whose homes were far from Amoy were not allowed to attend the autumn semester and that the price of food and fuel was raised in con sequence of the war conditions. Even the great earthquake in February did comparatively little damage to the school buildings, while the Spanish influenza, though there were many cases of it in the school, was attended by no fatal results. The regular work of the school was carried on as usual throughout the year. There were two hundred and seventy names on the roll the first semester and two hundred and sixty the second, with a total enrollment ot three hundred and thirty names. A class of fourteen was graduated in June, all of whom came from nominally Christian homes and all but one of whom have been received into the Church. Five of these girls' have been teaching in the school during the winter, three have been teaching, or are to teach in other schools and two are studying in the Hackett Medical School in Canton. Through the gift of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions a new building has been added to the school. It consists of a roof resting on brick pillars, giving a floor space of thirty-five by forty-five feet, which will serve a two-fold purpose. It connects two of the school buildings and makes a drill and playground that can be used in any sort of weather, a very important thing in the rainy season when drill and play have had to be suspended altogether for lack of a covered place in which to exercise. The school proved a haven of refuge during the summer when homes were threatened by the ravages and fighting of the soldiers. Many mothers who had once been children in the Children s Dome and who thus had no other place of refuge, fled back to the school which had protected and cared for them in their desolate childhood, a touching proof of the blessing which that Home has brought into the lives of these “little ones” of the Master’s Kingdom. Our missionaries keep in constant touch with the homes of their pupils which they find differ from each other very widely. One home visited was in a wind-swept village near the sea shore on the neighboring island of Quemoy. Here they found a fine Chinese house whose inmates bore willing testimony to the Christian spirit shown at home by the little girl who was a pupil in the school. Many of the men in this village have business in the Philippine Islands and Straits Settlements, so that their houses are well built and there is an air of prosperity about the place, but the only Christians are a school teacher and his wife and this one little girl. Another home visited was quite different. This was a tiny bookshop in one of the narrowest and dirtiest of the Amoy streets, with two upper stories reached by ladder-like stairs, the rooms small and dirty and the little girl who was the object of the visit

in great pain with sore and inflamed eyes showing plainly the reason why she had been absent from school. Former pupils and graduates of the school are scattered in many places in many lands. One is studying in Northfield, Massa chusetts. One is in Peking. One is in Ginling College, Nanking, and two others are in a high school in the same city. Two are studying in Shanghai and one in Foochow. Four are in the Hackett Medical College m Canton. Two are teaching and two are studying in the Philippine Islands. Four are teaching in Singapore and two in Rangoon. Many are married and living with their Misbands in these and other equally distant places, such as Penang, Java and other islands. One of this year’s pupils with her whole family will soon be settled in Annam, that country of whose needs Dr. Zwemer has given us such a vivid picture in a recent number of the Mission ary Review of the World. A rough estimate gives forty former pupils of the school as scattered in these many distant places, while nearly fifty others have been teaching this year either in the Amoy school or in schools in the Amoy region. Surely a great responsi bility rests not only upon those faithful women who have the care and training of these children and young women, but upon us women of the home land who pray, “Thy Kingdom Come,” but who do so much less than we might do to bring that Kingdom to pass. Charlotte Duryee Women’s Bible School. I have often wondered whether there is any other country under the sun besides China where the women insist* upon going to school. The hope of the future lies in the Girls’ Schools, but to me all the pathos of the past is in the W o m e n ’s Schools. The W o m e n ’s School in Amoy closes another year of its history with praise and thanksgiving to God for the blessings He has bestowed during the past year upon the women in the school. The enrollment has been higher than ever before. Over ninety women and girls have come under instruction for a longer or shorter period, most of them boarders, a few only being day pupils. The matron, Mrs. Kee, has done faithful work, not the least important feature of it being that by her wise management the women have all lived peaceably together. With so many women from different places who have never been taught to control their tempers or their tongues, this is not so light a matter as it seems. To go through a term of four months without serious friction is something to be very thankful for. Many of the women have come from heathen homes. All who could not read have begun the study of the primer with the determination to master it. Some have found it almost too difficult for them but the majority have done well. Fifteen or sixteen of the women have entered an inquirers’ class to prepare for entering the church. Another group is trying to do personal work among the newcomers and endeavoring to lead them to Christ. They are interested also in giving practical help to those less fortunate than themselves. During the first term they raised $12 to send to the flood sufferers in the North, and in the autumn they collected $15 with which they bought cloth and made garments for the women in Tong-an who had suffered from the plundering of the soldiers and brigands. The women who have been in the school three or four terms have this year gone through the Acts of the Apostles, many of the Epistles, Old Testament History, a transia-

tion of Meyer’s Elijah and other books, besides learning some

friends^ th6y C3n m thelr homes and among their neighbors and There are many interesting stories which might be told con cerning these women, but it would make the report too long. The cost of the school has been a little over $1,000, but the fees received have covered expenses, lacking less than $200. The school is a great evangelistic agency and the aim of those who have charge of it is that every one who enters the school shall not leave it without the knowledge of Christ as a personal Saviour. Children’s Home. Last year an account was given of every child in the Home, iftis year each one has grown a year older and many, of them much taller. There are nineteen in all under the care of the •Home. The oldest girl, one of the two who graduated last year, has ruf” .^aching ever since and has now become engaged to a young Christian teacher in the village school connected with the London Mission. The other last year’s graduate has been teaching in the Tong-an Girls School. The political troubles which ended in fighting and which caused so much unrest throughout all the Amoy district during the summer months brought several former pupils, now mothers, back to the Home for safety, to be housed in the Girls’ u ij° building. Some of these had not met since they were children together in the Home and greatly they enjoyed the reunion and seeing one another’s children. • , Ir! a letter came from the husband of one of the Home girls, telling of his wife’s death. This letter was specially inter-' esting and significant, as a Chinese husband is usually very reticent in speaking of his wife. He wrote from Batavia: “Three weeks ago m y dear companion, beautiful Jade-stone, received your letter. She was already ill when it came. She was so glad to get it. W e m no* thlnk x1* w0'1\d t>e the last time. M y dear companion on M ay oth at four o clock m the afternoon was called by the Lord from this world. She was ill with fever twenty-four days. From the time she and I became husband and wife twelve years ago I have not found one thing in her to criticize. She was diligent and economical m caring for the family, her disposition was gentle and kind she was very upright and true. She always lovingly re membered the ladies v/ho took care of her and she loved all the little sisters in the Children’s Home. / She said to me, “Every year we ought to send some money to the Home.” Now, although she has left me, if God spares m y life I shall do as she wished me to do.” During the year three new inmates were added to the Home_ one a slave girl who had been redeemed by a friend; another, a little girl who was redeemed by two other friends; and a third, a poor deformed child whose mother has not the means of supporting ”er' i*rJje jh^dren are fond of each other and live together with very little friction. This year has been a strenuous one the world over, with many needy arid worthy objects calling for assistance everywhere. Hearty thanks are due to those friends in America who have helped by

their money and their prayers to carry on this work of saving homeless children. But the donations have not been sufficient during the year to meet the running expenses and so the children have been housed in the Girls’ School, while their house has been rented to supply the balance needed for the running expenses, for the children’s board and clothes and also for a small sum which will be needed in the near future for repairs and paint on the house. It is hoped that friends at home will contribute sufficient funds so that the children may soon live in their own home; Evangelistic Work In Amoy.

There have been avenues open for evangelistic work during the year. At the beginning of the Chinese N e w Year Gospel Meetings were held as in the two previous years for non-Christian women in eleven of the churches and chapels connected with the three Missions on the islands of Amoy and Kolongsu. The meetings were held at each place on two consecutive afternoons, after being well advertised by posters and by personal invitations, from Christian women to.their heathen relatives, neighbors and friends. At each place on each afternoon there were two speakers, not a few of whom were former pupils of the boarding school. An Evan gelistic Committee composed of three missionary women and twelve Chinese women had charge of the arrangements and this committee met at stated times to plan work and report progress. Besides the Gospel Meetings, there were Neighborhood Group Classes formed for following up the work and for teaching the women to read the Bible, most of these classes being taught by Chinese women. A special effort was made to teach the women the Romanized Colloquial, the aim being that every church member and hearer should be able to read the Bible. This work is done by the women between services on Sundays or after weekly prayer-meetings or whenever opportunity offers. During the summer a Bible W o m a n ’s Institute was held for ten days in one of the school buildings on Kolongsu. This was well attended by Bible women and other workers and the interest was well kept up. Even the hot summer weather and two or three days of hard rain which dampened their persons, in ho way dampened their spirits. _ The work of visiting the churches, the house to house visiting, encouraging and helping the Christians to bring to others the “good tidings of the Kingdom,” has gone on throughout the year. The eleven centers with their outlying districts afford an unlimited opportunity for evangelistic work in organizing group classes; in holding meetings, in forming Bible study classes, in direct personal work and in urging the Chinese Christians to do this work. The missionary laments that while much has been done, only the fringe has been touched for lack of workers, strength and time. Educational Work In Tong-an. Tong-an Girls’ School. During the spring of 1918 the Tong-an Girls’ School had the largest enrollment in its history, with eighty-two pupils, seventyfour of whom were boarders. The school was able to accommodate so many because of the erection of a second story, over the former

kitchen, thus giving the school an additional dormitory. Even so, there was not much sleeping space to spare, for twenty-eight beds had to serve for the seventy-four children! A few changes were made in the teaching staff, but the head teacher and four of the younger teachers continued their work as last year. One of the assistant teachers left to study nursing and one of the Children’s Home girls took her place. On account of the unsettled conditions resulting from the civil war last summer and the fear that hostili ties might recommence at any time, the school was not opened at the usual time. It was finally reopened on November 19th and in that connection Miss Beekman writes: “Every cloud has a silver lining. It was only because of this late opening that we were able to pull through the year without a deficit.” The autumn term opened with only fifty-four pupils all of whom were day scholars. In addition to the troubles from civil strife, hardly a girl in the school escaped having influenza, which swept through the whole country side. At one time so many of the teachers and pupils were ill with it that the school had to be closed for several days, but with one exception all made a good recovery. Another unfortunate result of the war was the decrease it brought about in the boarding fees. Many families were entirely destitute.and the children had to be taken for almost nothing or they would have been cold and hungry all winter. Tong-an Women’s School. This school is still enjoying the competent leadership of good Mrs. Li, who is cheerfully and ably assisted by Chhoa-ti-che. With their guiding hand at the wheel, the school has steered a clear course and has arrived at the end of the year without serious difficulties. The spring term opened with an enrollment of twenty-four women, one of whom was studying to become a Bible woman. Among the others were many earnest “sisters” who studied diligently to gain a knowledge of the Scriptures. Several of the women were young, which made the teaching easier, for the younger ones are better able to learn, but they seldom turn away a woman just because she is a grandmother. One old body who was quite eager to learn at first came, after a couple of days at the primer, begging to be allowed to go home. She was exhorted to have patience with her self and to persevere for a week, after which she might go home if she really could not learn. Before the end of the term all were laughing"at her early fears, for she learned to read very well. Some of the women easily grow discouraged and some have home cares which cut short their school term, but those who remain succeed. The year was saddened by the death of one of the pupils, a young woman of twenty-four who became so ill that itwas necessary for Miss Green to take herdown to Amoy to place her under the doctor’s care. It was toolate, however, for him to help her, another proof of the great need of a hospital in Tong-an. During the war which broke out during the summer, the school buildings became a refuge for the hard-pressed and timid women of the neighborhood and the kindly assistance rendered them at that time of grave danger has given the schools a reputation which greatly increases their usefulness. Because of the fighting and plundering of the soldiers it was unsafe to reopen the W o m e n ’s School until late in the autumn, but regular classes were held with the refugees

before the formal opening and a number of women were thus started on the way towards learning. On the 19th of November the school was reopened with seventeen women in attendance. Of these, five were destitute and earned their food by working in the afternoons, the mornings being spent in study. The greatest good done in these women’s schools is in preparing workers who will in turn spread abroad the Glad Tidings. •

Evangelistic Work In Tong-an. In reading the reports of evangelistic work for women and children one •can but be impressed with the open doors on every side. The people are everywhere willing to listen to the story of the Gospel and in many cases they are eager for it. The hardships of the civil war during the summer have yet had this one good result, that the heathen, seeing the marvellous way in which God protected His people, are anxious to know more about ‘this God. The Mission compounds and schools were places of refuge during the fighting for scores of women and children and, as a result, many new homes are ready to give a welcome to the missionary and there are many new opportunities for getting close to the people. After the war the churches were crowded and the church women had their hands blessedly full with teaching these new inquirers. Many of these women began at once to learn to read the Romanized Colloquial and some of them entered the school when it re-opened. Not only have the Bible women gone about in the homes of the people telling the Gospel story and teaching the primer, but some of the church women have recognized their duty and opportunity and have given of their time and strength to bring the knowledge of Christ to their sisters. But even with this help many of the doors opened cannot be entered for lack of workers. • Educational Work In Chiang-chiu. Chiang-chiu Girls School.

■

From an enrollment of over one hundred pupils last year the number enrolled this year dropped to sixty-eight. This was due to the unsettled condition of the country in general which so affected the people of Chiang-chiu and the surrounding districts that be tween the first of February and the first of October they left in large numbers, for fear of what might happen if the Northern and Southern soldiers- should meet here. As the school was about to open for the spring term in February rumors became so alarming and so numerous that many pupils from other places were not allowed to leave home and even some Chiang-chiu girls were kept at home. All through the term it was felt that the school might suddenly have to close and this did finally come to pass when the Southern troops were reported to be very near and about to attack the city. Chiang-chiu became panic stricken and the people fled by hundreds. Parents came to take their, daughters home and the number of girls in the school was so diminished that there was no longer any question whether or not to close, for in three days there

was no school left to close. This was a great disappointment as the school was soon to have graduated its first class since adding a third year to the higher grade, and the girls were already pre paring for Commencement Day. But it was a matter for con gratulation that the term work had been practically completed and that the three girls who were to graduate could receive their diplomas later. Although the expected arrival of the Southern troops did not become a fact until late in August, the city was greatly disturbed all during the summer, and when the Southern soldiers finally came, it was to an almost depopulated city. Miss Morrison was not allowed to 'return to Chiang-chiu until late in October and the following week the school was re-opened to receive girls who were living in the city and near-by villages only, so that, in the event of a recurrence of trouble, the girls could quickly be sent home. Everything remained quiet, however, and the work has gone on as usual except that some classes have had no pupils at all and all have been much smaller than in previous years. Two of the older girls were baptized and received into the church early in the year. One of them, from a non-Christian family, has been in the school a number of years and is to graduate next June, after which she hopes to continue her studies at a higher school. Early last spring another girl from a non-Christian home was suddenly taken from home and married to an officer of the Northern army who already had three wives in his Northern home. She was only fourteen years old and was really sold by her father that he might have money to pay his creditors who were threaten ing him. Miss Morrison reports that the girls have had excellent health throughout the year with the exception of a few weeks in the autumn when the ubiquitous influenza visited the school. For tunately none of the cases were severe and all soon recovered. Regular calisthenics have been practised during the year and the girls have taken an increasing interest in them. Some gardening has also been done after school hours and an interest in the culti vation of plants and flowers has been developed. There has been a very marked sympathy and good fellowship among all in the school and the girls seem to be trying, to live so as to “adorn the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Evangelistic Work In Chiang-chiu. During the year just closing five women members of the church have died and two women have been baptized and received into the Church. One of those who died was a Bible woman who had done faithful work in Chiang-chiu and other places for almost fifteen years. She had not been strong for the past few years, but whenever she was able to be out she rejoiced to go into the different homes of the women to bring them the Gospel message. The second Bible woman has been most earnest and diligent in her service and scarcely a day has passed when she has not gone in and out of the homes carrying the news of salvation and teaching the women to read and to pray. Her happy face is a familiar one in many parts of the city and many a friendly greeting is given her as she passes along the way. • Several men in the church who have non-Christian wives are very anxious that the women in their households should become

Christians and into these homes the Bible woman frequently goes, seeking to bring those to whom she speaks to a knowledge .of the Saviour. She urges them to come to church and see and hear for themselves and know how good it is to be there. Bible woman’s work has been taken up by a new woman who began her Christian life in the school about nine years ago and who later went as matron to the Sio-khe school and still later to study in the W o m a n ’s Bible School in Amoy. The women in Chiang-chiu have joined with those in other places in the special work of promoting the study of the»Romanized Colloquial so that all Christians may be able to read and study the Bible for themselves. More than a dozen women, several of them past middle age, have taken up the study and persevered in it until they are now able to read more or less fluently. The women's weekly prayer-meetings have been affected by the general disturbed condition of the country and there has been a marked decrease in the number of women as many have moved temporarily to Amoy and other places. A number of new hearers are attending the services regularly but very many who are glad to hear the message if it is brought to their homes, have not the courage to come to church. There are many opportunities everywhere to carry the Word of Life. The people are ready to listen. But workers are needed to follow up the opportunities and to gather the harvest which is ready. Are there not some who will hear the Master’s call and come to help in the blessed work of bringing in the Kingdom? Kducational Work In Sio-khe. Sio-khe Girls’ School. Extensive repairs were made in the school building during the autumn and winter of 1917-18 so that when the school opened m February, 1918, all enjoyed their greatly improved surroundings. A large upstairs room formerly used as an assembly room has be come a dormitory and this, with an extra class room, a new window in the dining-room, a new pantry and new cooking places in the kitchen make a very great improvement and add greatly to the efficiency of the work as well as to the comfort of pupils and teachers. . The enrollment for the year has been small, due to the fright from the earthquake, to the disturbed political conditions and to the epidemic of influenza. There were forty-three girls in the school during the spring term and thirty-three during the winter term. The missionary in charge praises highly the faithful, consecrated work of Mrs. lap and Mrs. Tiu, both of whom have been teachers in the school for a number of years and both of whom have the interest and welfare of the girls much at heart. The girls love them dearly. A short prayer-meeting held every Saturday morning has kept teachers and pupils and missionaries in close sympathetic touch with each other and has helped greatly to advance the spiritual welfare of all. Since the enrollment in the school has been small, more intensive work has been done and more individual attention has been given to those specially in need of it. There has been little illness or serious trouble to record during the year In November the school was visited by the influenza which raged so terribly all over the world and teachers, matron and pupils

were all ill at one time, but most of them had it lightly and classes had to be suspended for only one week. The services of Dr. Bosch and his assistant. Dr. Chu, were deeply appreciated, especially by Miss Van der Linden, after the anxieties of the Girls’ School in Tong— an where there is no hospital. Sio-khe Women’s School. The passing of soldiers and bandits through the district made traveling unsafe so that fewer women came to the school than had been expected. Every one in the school also had influenza, which interfered materially with their studies; but,all made, on the whole, satisfactory progress. Seventeen were enrolled during the year, twelve of whom were in attendance the first term and seven the second. Two were members of the church when they entered and one was received during the year. One who gave half her time to study and half to teaching the patients in the hospital is now to give her whole time to Bible woman’s work. A pupil who had just graduated from the Amoy Girls’ School gave very efficient help in teaching during the term. The soldiers demanded money from her father and as he could not pay, his daughter was in great danger of being sold so that she took refuge in the school. This gave the matron time for more house to house visiting and was thus a blessing to the school. ■

Evangelistic Work In Sio-khe. The earthquake, the war and influenza have all three conspired to hinder the evangelistic work in Sio-khe. The earthquake occurred just before the opening of the Bible study class and the people were afraid to leave their homes. There was work at home to be done, too, in repairing damages and also the women had to be at home to cook for the workmen, so that only those women who lived nearby could attend the class. Those who came, however, were much interested and they made a real study of Genesis and portions of the Gospel of John. Evangelistic meetings were held every afternoon for a week in Sio-khe and the women came very gener ally, bringing their heathen neighbors with them. The meetings were led by Chinese women who gave the Gospel message with great power. It was felt to be a cause for great thankfulness that there were so many consecrated helpers among the Chinese women. Altogether, the more intensive work which is being done in the Amoy field by our women workers is being felt more and more in a spiritual awakening among the people. W o m e n and girls are learning to read and to pray and are making a steady progress in the knowledge of the truth. The constant appeal of the mis sionaries is for more workers from America to carry forward the great work of making China a Christian land.

T H E N E E D F O R W O R K A M O N G W O M E N A N D GIRLS. Conditions. ' Not one woman in 100 can read or write. Of 39,000,000 children of school age, 8,000,000 are growing up without education. Only 4 per cent, of the girls in- school go further than the primary grade because of the pernicious system of child marriage. One girl in 160,000 goes to high school. The total registration from 144,000,000 women and girls is only 525 students.

Poverty. The average income is three cents per day. On account of the increase in cost of living, the suspension of public works owing to influenza epidemic, scourge of plague, failure of rain, famine condi tions, women have been forced into industry. In the cotton mills in Bombay there are 22,000 women and girls beginning work at seven in the morning with only a half-hour rest at noon. It is no wonder that when the loom stops they lie on the floor beside it until the call to work drives them on again.

The weekly visitation to the jail has kept up under Miss Han cock and Mrs. Cornelius, and the women are eager to learn to pray. Mrs. Peter, who superintends the zenana work, reports that they gave instruction in 425 houses. A social center where the Hindu women can meet to be brought about by the union of two of the schools at Vellore is what the missionaries are hoping the new year will bring to the work. Through the generosity of Miss Gertrude Dodd, money has been given to try the experiment for one year in a rented house. • The event of the year was the opening of the Union Missionary Medical School for Women of which Dr. Ida Scudder is the. head. It is a union institution and is connected with the Mary Taber Schell Hospital at Vellore. ' Miss Houghton reports that 7 nurses have passed their exami nations, that there are 8 pupils in the senior class, and 9 in the first year class. They have 1 trained compounder, and 3 are being trained. The head nurse and long-time matron, and one of the little adopted hospital children died during the influenza epidemic, 16 nurses were ill at one time, 1,015 calls were made this year by the nurses in Vellore and neighborhood.

The zenana work is under Mrs. Pandian who said: “This work is only a continuation of the Hindu Girls’ Schools.” They have

visited 114 houses, and among these several educated Brahmin women. One of these is the president of the Theosophical Society. The great need for a kindergartener has just been met by Miss Matilda Berg. Miss Clara M. Coburn is taking her language study at Chittoor. The Mission Meeting was held at Chittoor under the charge of Rev. and Mrs. H. E. Van Vranken, which means that they enter tained 40 guests for 11 days. “The need for a new -dormitory has been met by building a sleeping porch on the flat roof of the class room. This porch con sists of a thatched roof supported by brick pillars. Bamboo mats form the walls and keep the rain from beating in. In the dry season these mats will be removed. This makes an airy dormitory for the new girls.” Ami

“The one cheerful note to be sounded,” writes Mrs. Honegger, “is that the Hindu parents begin to realize the claims of the Gospel Message and its power upon the lives of the children and the hearts of the girls who are breaking under the weight of unhappy marriage and the joint family system which prevails in India.” The Sunday Schools at Walajah and Kaveripak have been carrying on all their work although the others have been closed on account of cholera, in fluenza, and plague.

Mrs. J. H. Warnshuis, M.D., has looked after the dispensary with Mr. Nathaniel in charge. Prenadavanathan, one of the teach ers in the Girls’ School, and Rachel John have been in charge of the work for women. Mrs. Arizamandam with the Bible women visited 50 houses, and 20 girls are regularly instructed in the Life of Christ. The girls belong to the Brahmin, Mudali, Barber, and

Mrs. Carmen Scudder, Mrs. Wyckoff, Mrs. Van Doren, and many of the faithful workers have gone H O M E . Each one contributed to the growth of the Kingdom in India. ' “Observant travelers speak of the fact that Christian ideals have penetrated deeper into the Hindu consciousness than has been supposed. The steady breaking down of caste implies the disinte gration of Hinduism’s characteristic institution.” Kipling shows the effect of Western influence on the mind of the Indian soldier. “I care no longer,” writes one of the latter, “whether I have a dowry with m y wife. I want knowledge. What was ample yesterday does not even cover the palm of the hand today. Our women should be taught. Only by knowledge is anything achieved.” (The Eyes of Asia.) Some one asked, “What is the difference between, a war worker and a missionary?” The answer was that it is just the difference between a snapshot and a time exposure. The Orient offers the same chance that Europe has been offering for a sacrificial giving of life for the benefit of a suffering world. But we need, woefully, doctors, nurses, teachers to^reach these souls in darkness and sin. Every missionary in the Arcot Mission has a vision of the wonder ful possibilities of the future, “if” the people at home could only appreciate the awful need and the opportunity, and send the “where. withal11— money— to build and lives to “carry on.” “God grant us wisdom in these coming days, And eyes unsealed, that we clear visions see . Of that new world that He would have us build, To Life’s ennoblement' and His high ministry. “To pledge our souls to nobler, loftier life, To win the world to His fair sanctities, To bind the nations in a pact of peace, And free the Soul of Life for finer loyalties.”

JAPAN Japan is a land of more than fifty million people, and is made up of a long line of islands, of which Nippon is the largest but Kyushu, lying just south of it and much smaller, is the most densely populated and wealthy. The native religion is Shinto, which is chiefly a worship of Nature and of national' heroes, the emperor being especially revered as a lineal descendant of the sun goddess. Buddhism, brought in from China by way of Korea centuries ago, is today the main religion of the people, and has great temples and much wealth. There are about one quarter of a million Christians, of whom nearly one-half are Protestants, the remainder belonging to the Roman Catholic and the Greek churches. Reversing the course in India and China, Christianity in Japan gained its first converts among the upper classes, and has largely influenced the leaders in the nation’s development. The leaven of the gospel has spread much further than the size of the church would indicate. T H E J A P A N MISSION. Founded in 1859 Organized into North and South 1889; 'Re-united January 1, 1917 Missionaries of our denomination were among the earliest to enter Japan; and one of them, Rev. James H. Ballagh, D.D., who went there in 1861, is still in active service, the oldest missionary in Japan. The very first unmarried missionary in Japan, Miss Mary E. Kidder, later the wife of Rev. E. R. Miller, was sent by our church in 1869. Until recently our stations were scattered from the northern end of Nippon to the southern end of Kyushu, and ,were grouped in two separate missions. N o w we have handed over some of the Nippon stations to other denominations, especially the German Reformed, better located to care for them, and have united all our work in one mission with most of its stations in Kyushu. All of our educational institutions, however, except Steele Academy, and some of our evangelistic work still remain in the northern island. Our Japan Mission now has as its working force fifteen men, mostly with 'wives, and thirteen unmarried women, together with four times as many Japanese fellow-workers. It does not feel the need of carrying on any medical work because modern medicine is taught and practised by the Japanese. In its evangelistic work it co-operates with the German Reformed and various Presbyterian bodies in building up the Nihon Kirisuto Kyokwai (which is being interpreted, the Church of Christ in Japan), an independent Japan ese church made up of all who hold the Presbyterian form of faith. Whenever any of our own mission churches reaches self-support, it is transferred to this ecclesiastical body. In educational work of the higher grade our church unites with the Northern Presbyterian in the support of the Meiji Gakuin at Tokyo,— a plant which includes a’high school for boys, a college for men, and a theological seminary, and of Sturges Seminary for girls (its Japanese name is Baiko Jo Gakuin) at Shimonoseki; and we have the sole responsibility for the maintenance of Ferris Seminary for girls at Yokohama, and Steele Academy for boys at Nagasaki,— two long established and fine institutions. W e bear our part, also, in the college for v/omen at Tokyo which has begun so recently and promisingly.

W O M A N ’S W O R K . Aomori This- station at the extreme northern end of the main island is located in the field which was transferred to the mission of the German Reformed Church two years ago. The arrangement, how ever, was that the station should remain under our care and in the charge of Miss Winn, who has labored there so many years and so faithfully, until her retirement from active work which, we regret deeply to report is near at hand as she has asked for an indefinite furlough beginning next September. She reports that while she still is carrying on five neighborhood Sunday Schools, another one had to be given up because the village people refused to rent a room for it. From one of the schools a very fine young woman has entered the Girls’ Bible Training School at Yokohama, and is winning excellent reports. Her character can be judged from the fact that when her brother-in-law, who is also her guardian, asked her to choose a course of study for her life career, she said, “There is nothing I so much want to do as to prepare myself to give the Gospel to m y people.” _ The crowning event of the year at Aomori was the three days evangelistic campaign of Rev. T. Kanamori whom many regard as the most potent personality today in the Christian church in Japan. He was for some years a minister; then became a sceptic; but in recent years has renewed,his work for Christ with double zeal. His meetings in Aomori resulted in making eight hundred hearers promise to study the Bible and investigate the Christian religion. These enquirers are called upon and guided by Miss Winn, and seven have already been baptized. Fukuoka. There has been here for some years a small self-supporting church of our denomination, but it has never done any aggressive work in this large and growing city. Accordingly, when Miss Lansing returned from her furlough in 1917, she was sent here to open a new work, especially among women and children. With two Bible women, one a graduate of Sturges Seminary, she conducts three meetings for children,— one held on Sundays in her own house and with an attendance that has reached from 25 to 112, the others on Tuesday and Friday afternoons in other parts of the city with a somewhat smaller attendance. A meeting for women precedes one of these, and a neighboring meeting in the home of a Christian is held each Tuesday evening. Several young men come to Miss Lansing for Bible study, and some high school boys and girls come for English and Bible. She is gradually gaining entrance into the homes; and one mother said to her recently, “If I could only become a Christian, and lead m y husband and sons to Christ, I would be so happy.” With such openings and with such desires springing up in the hearts of the people, it is no wonder that Miss Lansing writes, “There are great opportunities for work in Fukuoka, and we need more workers. There should be a family here, and two more single ladies; and this is just the locality for a kindergarten.’’ Certainly she should not be left to toil alone. W h o will join her?

Saga. Here Miss Hospers and her assistant, Miss Higuchi, have the companionship and assistance of Rev. and Mrs. Van Bronkhorst who, among other things, share in the Sunday School held in the “Saga manse.” Another Sunday School in the city of Saga has just completed its first year with an enrollment of one hundred, and an average attendance of nearly fifty, including five little boys and one small girl who never missed a Sunday. A class of girls from the Saga Girls’ School come to the manse each Wednesday afternoon for singing, and a group of fathers and mothers, not yet Christian, come the same evening to learn to sing hymns. “They sing earnestly, if not tunefully.” In Arita, a town some twenty-five miles away on the railroad, Miss Hospers has a Sunday School which celebrated its second birthday by a Christmas entertainment to which almost two hundred came and heard the Christmas story. And in Takeo, a town nearer by, she has a class of twenty girls for Bible study and singing and, as extra attractions, crocheting and tatting. There is also a Ladies’ Society in each of these three places. “W e visit in homes as much as we can. But we have to pass by not only homes but whole villages where the gospel has never been heard, and mines where women toil twelve hours each day with their littlest babies strapped on their backs. Aren’t the shadows here dark enough, and the rays of light that break through bright enough to touch the heart of every Christian woman in America, and rouse her' to take some part in driving out the darkness and bringing in the full sunshine?” Tokyo. Mrs. Wyckoff began her work last year in the western section of Tokyo under many difficulties. When she opened a Sunday School the Buddhist priest forbade the children to attend it, and opened a rival school in the temple at the same hour and with the offer to teach writing. Though he now has an organ and offers to teach music, his school does not seem to flourish, for it meets only twice a month. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wyckoff’s one school has increased to two, and she has begun a third in another part of the city. The. attendance on all has been good. She has, also, a class of young men in English each Tuesday evening. Teaching English may not seem to some to be evangelistic work, but the way in which it opens the door for Christ is shown in the following extract from a private letter by Mr. Hoekje:— “The next day I baptized three persons in Aomori,— a bedridden primary school teacher, who witnessed a beautiful confession of faith and trust in Jesus, and was baptized in the hospital; his mother, who since January first has put away her household gods and ancestral worship; and a teacher in the High School for girls. A n interesting fact was that in all these cases the initial touch with Christian teaching at all serious was through Miss Winn’s willingness to teach English in order that she ‘might by all means save some.’” Miss Demarest is still busy in the language school studying specially the written language, and thus preparing for her future work. Meanwhile she finds a home in the family of Dr. Oltmans. Nagasaki. Miss Couch sends the following report:— “Our work this year has had more than usual interruptions. The illness of Miss

Tomegawa in the spring and myself in the autumn, the marriage in July of Miss Tachino who assisted in Sunday School work and our little paper, a prolonged search for a house followed by moving and settling, have been the chief unusual occurrences. But in spite of all, we look back with thankfulness along the way in which we have been led. “Three Sunday Schools have been kept up, though one had to have a four months’ vacation. Miss Tomegawa has held on an average one bi-weekly and three weekly Bible classes for women; and four women from one class have been baptized. During the first half of the year I had three weekly evening classes for men and boys and one afternoon class for our Sturges graduates; but since summer two of these classes have been discontinued. Considerable time has been spent by both of us in calling; and the W o m a n ’s Society of our church, the Alumnae Association of Sturges Seminary, and the local W. C. T. U. have each claimed time and thought. W e miss the help of Miss Tachino, the Baiko Jo Gakuin graduate who was with us three years, but we rejoice that she has a new field of great possible usefulness as the wife of an evangelist. “The Ochibo, our monthly publication, continues to be one of our joys, and to bring new evidence that God is using it in helping some to know Him better. Nine hundred copies are now published, and nearly fifty yen have been contributed by its readers, the balance of its cost having been met by unsolicited gifts "from friends in America. W e close the year with a balance sufficient for three months in 1919. In early summer, through the W. C. T. U., there was an opening for work among the girl operatives in a Nagasaki Factory, and for two months a simple supplement to our paper was prepared and distributed among them; but, owing probably to the departure of the official who had granted permission for the meetings, we had to discontinue this work. “W e leave the seed sown in the care of the Great Husbandman, and look forward with joy and hope to another year of sowing.” Miss Couch modestly omits to mention that in November the Japanese church in Nagasaki commemorated her completion of twenty-five years of missionary service, spent mostly in that city, by a characteristic and elaborate congratulatory entertainment. Shimonoseki. Sturges Seminary, otherwise Baiko Jo Gakuin, reports another successful year. Miss Noordhoff is now enjoying a well-earned furlough, but Miss Pieters has returned from one, and with Miss Evelyn Oltmans, represents our contribution to the teaching force. There has been a similar change in the Presbyterian representatives, and the loss of a couple of native teachers. The Japanese members of the force are five men and ten w o m e n ; and there are one hundred and ninety-seven students. The graduating exercises in March were attended by the mayor of the city and a representative of the governor of the province. Ten girls graduated from the regular course, and six from the special sewing course. Two of these are now in the school as assistant music teacher and assistant treasurer; one is pursuing higher studies "in Miss Tsuda’s school in Tokyo; one, after a term in the Bible Training School in Yokohama, is doing Christian work in Tokyo; and the rest have returned to their homes where they '

generaily take up sewing and cooking, preparatory to getting mar ried. A gift of the graduating class was fifty young plum trees for the adornment of the campus. ” On the two nights succeeding graduation the pupils and alumnae gave a concert for which an admission fee of fifty sen (about twentyfive cents) was asked. The program included piano and organ numbers, songs in Japanese and in English, recitations and dia logues. The proceeds helped to swell the fund which is being raised for the erection of an alumnae building. ' A severe typhoon of wind and rain in.early summer just at the close of the school term, not only delayed many of the teachers and pupils in leaving for home, but washed away part of the banks on which the Seminary stands, and threatened the loss of the dormitory. Fortunately the rain stopped in season to save the building. During the summer vacation a new bank— the lower part being of large stone blocks— was constructed at a cost of $350. School .work in the autumn was interrupted somewhat by various national holidays and by celebrations of the close of the war held both at the school and with city schools at the parade ground. A more serious interruption was caused by the influenza, when the school had to be closed for two weeks. Although nearly all the girls and many of the teachers were ill,— some critically so,— there was only one death, that of a day pupil, a lovable little fourth-year girl who showed in her last hours a beautiful faith in her Saviour. Three of the former graduates died from the same dreadful epidemic. In the fall term the Christian Endeavor Society of the school was changed into a Y. W. C. A. Society so as to be more in line with other Christian schools which have the latter society. It has a membership of about ninety, and is doing much good both by its spiritual influence and by its activity in making articles to be sold in aid of various charities. It conducts two Sunday Schools on Sunday afternoons in two. Japanese homes in the city. Two other Sunday Schools are conducted by the teachers. The total enrollment is about one hundred and sixty. Three of the schools met together in the Seminary chapel for a Christmas celebration. During the school year, nine of the girls have been received into the local church, and one other has become a baptized member. Then at Christmas time four girls gave themselves to Christ as their Christmas gift to Him. The weekly Y. W. C. A. meeting and the Thursday evening prayer meeting are well attended, and many of the girls take part with sincerity and confidence. In the next graduating class there are still six girls who have not confessed a faith in Christ; perhaps it is their families who will not allow them to do so. Let us pray that in some way the barriers may be removed. And let us pray, also, that this school may be as a light set on a hill to reveal the love of Christ to the many girls in the land of Japan. Yokohama. Owing doubtless to some fault of the mail service, no report has arrived from Ferris Seminary. W e know, however, that the work has prospered throughout the year under the splendid manage ment of Dr. Booth with the able assistance of the Misses Moulton, Kuyper and Janet Oltmans. An important change has been the adoption of a constitution, and the appointment of a board of seven

Religions. ' Mohammedanism almost exclusively; a very few Hindus in Maskat and Bahrein and Some Jews in Bahrein and Basrah. Number of Missionaries. Twenty-nine (12 men, 17 women) including Dr. and Mrs. Zwemer, whose headquarters are in Cairo, and Rev. and Mrs. F. J. Barny, who are now in India, temporarily. . Origin of Arabian Mission. ‘ Founded by the two pioneer missionaries, James Cantine and Samuel M. Zwemer, in conjunction with Rev. J. G. Lansing, D.D., their Hebrew and Arabic professor at the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church at N e w Brunswick, N. J. Dr. Cantine sailed for Arabia, via Syria, October 16, 1889, Dr. Zwemer sailing from America June 28, 1890. They met in Syria, went together to Cairo to see Professor Lansing, then in Egypt for his health, and pro ceeded thence to Arabia by different steamers, Dr. Cantine going first to Aden and then exploring the Northern Country, and Dr. Zwemer going south, meeting at Basrah, which they decided should be the first headquarters of the Arabian Mission. Work for the women in Eastern Arabia was begun in 1896, when Miss A m y Elizabeth Wilkes married Rev. S. M. Zwemer. Miss Elizabeth DePree (now Mrs. James Cantine) was the first unmarried lady-missionary to go to Arabia (1901). Territory. At present the work is confined to the East Coast of Arabia, but the ultimate object of the Arabian Mission is, and always has been, to occupy the interior of Arabia, and Dr. Harrison has already made two visits to Riadh, by invitation of the ruler of the Nejd, and has seen many patients and performed a goodly number ol operations. The only other Mission Stations in the whole of Arabia are the Keith-Falconer Mission of the Scotch Church at Aden and the Church Missionary Society Mission at Bagdad, and both of these stations are very inadequately manned. Language. Arabic, almost exclusively.

Dr. and Mrs. Van Ess, and John Van Ess, Jr., returned to Arabia after their furlough in time to celebrate Christmas there, and were accompanied by their two young friends, the Misses Jackson, who plan to spend a year with them in Arabia at their own charges. They are proving an invaluable help to Mrs. Van Ess in her home and in her school work. ° Basrah Girls’ School has had an enrollment of 87 girls, with an average attendance of about sixty. Some of these are Armenians, or other Eastern Christians, but the large majority are Moslems (Arabs, Turks and Persians). The work has been carried on along the lines adopted in former years, the main emphasis, of course, being placed on the Arabic branches, with English and sewing as minor subjects, although with the mothers the sewing lessons are of great import ance. Their ambition in this line is largely limited to embroidery and other fancy work, while darning and other homely arts make little appeal. A few of them are practical enough, or needy enough to learn to make their own garments. The increasing demand for English is a constant surprise to us, since we see little chance for that language to be of any appreciable value to the present genera tion of girls. In our visits, however, the mothers frequently com pare their linguistic ability with that of the boys of the family, always to the disadvantage of the girls, which is not strange con sidering the fact that they have no opportunity to increase their knowledge by practice outside the school room. With the lower classes we have attempted nothing more in English than reading, writing and conversation, but the highest class studies also English grammar, geography and a simple health reader, which latter seems to be disabusing their minds of the idea that all disease is entirely “from God.’’ All the pupils who can read Arabic with any degree of proficiency have instruction in the Gospels two or, three times a week and have at least a knowledge of the truth, if not enlight ened hearts to accept it. After her withdrawal from the regular

school work, Mrs. Cantine kindly gave music lessons to a few of the girls in the upper classes who were very anxious for such instruc tion. A small charge was made for these lessons, in order to prevent too many demands on her time. On the whole the work has been encouraging, the greatest dis appointment, aside from the dearth of manifest spiritual results, being the shortness of the school year due largely to an outbreak of plague, cholera and typhoid fever and a corresponding lack of progress on the part of the pupils. The government has twice raised our grant during the past year, the total amount of the increase for both schools being Rs. 3,200. As yet no objection has been made to our religious teaching, and we trust that by faith and prayer our educational work may be kept from becoming mere secular education without spiritual value. . Visits have been made in the homes of as many of the pupils as possible, usually in company with Mrs. Cantine, in order that the people may realize that the aim of all departments of our work is one, and that the evangelistic note may be sounded as often as possible wherever the school may have made new friends for us. In these visits we are sometimes asked why we have no boarding school, and we believe that such an expansion should be included in our plans as soon as funds and other circumstances allow. The Catholic nuns have a large boarding school, to which some Moslem children are sent, among them the little girls from the family of Sheikh Khaz’al of Mohammerah. As we see what has been ac complished even by a day school we look forward with anticipation to the time when we shall have at least some of these Moslem girls under our constant supervision, and we ask your earnest prayers that the time may be hastened when there shall be an educated, and please God, a Christian womanhood to play the part in the Arabia that is to be.

Mrs. Harrison has just finished her second year of Language Study and Mrs. Bilkert and Miss Van Pelt their first year. Even before passing the final examinations, the Language students often make short addresses to the Dispensary patients, and crave prayer that their ministry may be blessed to their audiences. In the Evangelistic work at Bahrein, Mrs. Dykstra has had the valuable assistance of a faithful Bible woman, who has been

unflagging in her zeal, and has generally been well received. An increasingly friendly attitude is noticed towards the Message, as well as toward the workers, but the two great hindrances are the lack of a realization of sin, and the confidence that the Moslem creed and prophet are all-sufficient. There have been more sales among the women of Scripture portions than ever before, and one Mohammedan woman said of her nephews, “The boys like to read them very much, and they are very interesting and rejoice the heart, but the Mullah says they must not read them any more, for after reading them they do not care about the Koran.’’ Prayer meeting and Sunday School have been continued regularly, with a much larger attendance at prayer meeting than at Sunday School. Twice during the year it was suggested by Moslems that Mrs. Dykstra' should write a book in Arabic for Moslems on the condition of women, and show the cause of their bondage, ignorance and back wardness, and suggest a remedy for all this evil— which would seem to indicate that some of the people are doing some thinking! One woman said, “I want to know the Gospels and to belong to Christ, but I want to keep'my religion and put Christ’s teaching on top of it and have both,” thus showing her unwillingness to part with her old beliefs. • Maskat Educational.

Medical -• Dr. Hosmon left on furlough early in 1918, and the year’s medical work has been chiefly carried on by Mrs. Van Peursem, who is a trained nurse. The Evangelistic Work, as reported by Miss Lutton, shows much faithful and cheerful service in spite of the dark scourge of small pox, which raged for four months, and resulted in many deaths. “But in spite of these dark, bad days,” writes Miss Lutton, “we have had gleams of encouragement in the work,” and Miss Lutton writes further of her great joy in instructing her Moslem servant, who gives every evidence of having accepted Christ, though he has not yet made the open confession that might result in his- death. She craves earnest believing praper for him. Medical Work at Maskat. When Dr. Hosmon left, the Indian “Nurse Mary” went with her, and did not return till October, but “Fethala,” an Arab woman, who has been for two years in the employ of the Mission, was a great help and loved her work, though she could not be trusted with sterilizing, nor making up solutions, where special accuracy was required. In addition to the smallpox siege, mentioned above, there was also an epidemic of what was believed to be spinal meningitis, from which there were no recov eries and all those attacked died in less than a week. During Mrs. Van Peursem’s absence in India, she left some simple medicines behind, which were dispensed by Fethala in her home.

Medical. Under Mrs. E. E. Calverley, M.D., who is' now enjoying the great help afforded her by Miss Scardefield as a co-worker. Mrs. Mylrea has not been able to make so many calls as usual, as her mornings were spent in the dispensary, helping Mrs. Cal verley, but she regards “the time in the dispensary as by no means lost to the evangelistic part of the work, since one has so many opportunities of talking with the women while treating them.” But there have been discouragements in the way of more antagonism than usual, owing largely to the blockade by the British, in order to keep the people of Kuweit from furnishing costly supplies to the Turks. The missionaries were looked upon as friendly to England, and for a time were almost boycotted, but gradually the feeling against them subsided somewhat and the numbers of their callers increased, though there were not nearly so many as before. Mrs. Mylrea writes: “In m y callers and while visiting people, I have felt the lack of interest in wanting to hear the Gospel. This,of course, is natural, as we do not begin to know what has been said against us, but it is also sad. W e sincerely hope that asthe Allies go onfrom victory to victory and the people’s political feelings change their religious attitude will change also. Not- long ago a man who had great influence with the Sheikh as well as with the people, was deported and one of the charges against him was that he told the people not to believe Reuter’s when it told of the British successes— they were really having reverses and were trying to cover them up. Is it any wonder that many of the women are unfriendly? The strange part of it is that in the dispensary work among the men and women one does not notice this feeling against us. • The dis pensaries are very well attended and the preaching of the Gospel is listened to with apparent interest. The difference must be that they have a need and come; so we must go on, hoping and praying that the day will soon come when they will feel their spiritual need, too. “After Miss Schafheitlin left, I turned her room into a women’s mejlis and it has been a very satisfactory arrangement. .While Miss Schafheitlin was here she was kind enough to put her. room abso lutely at the disposal of the women so that they naturally kept on going to her door, taking it for granted that they would not run across any men.” • Mrs. Calverley reports, as follows, for 1918: “There are some years in which mission work seems to go ahead by leaps and bounds, and there are others in which one is thankful even to ‘Carry on’ in spite of constantly increasing difficulties. The past year has been to the Kuweit W o m a n ’s Medical Work of the latter kind. The first disaster of the year occurred on the very day when the visiting missionaries left Kuweit after the Annual Meeting.

That day our Indian nurse, who had been with us less than a year, closed the doors of the dispensary in the midst of the clinic and left town with less than an hour’s notice, having accepted a position under the Civil Surgeon at Bagdad. Hat it not been for Mrs. Mylrea’s generous and opportune help it would have been difficult to continue the work. “The next misfortune occurred on the 10th of January, when our ayah was shot in the-back. For not only were we left without a nurse to care for the children while away from the house, but the ayah herself was a patient in our house for four and a half months and needed almost constant attention. However, in this emergency also God. provided', for Miss Schafheitlin was at this time preparing to leave on furlough, and was able to stay with the children almost every morning while we were working in the hospital. “During the summer, Sara, our one faithful assistant in the dispensary, passed away. She was a Persian woman who has worked for us for almost seven years from the very beginning of the woman’s medical work in Kuweit. She had come to-be a really valuable assistant and we had never been able to secure another helper from among the women of the town. “W e had hoped to be able to build the new dispensary for women this year, but war prices still make this impossible. W e should need $1,000 extra in order to build at once. So we continue to work in the two available rooms of the hospital and when there is an in-patient in one of them, the other has to suffice for both consultation and treatment. Dr. Mylrea is also crowded and it would be a great help to him to be able to use the two rooms now devoted to women. But the greatest need of the dispensary is in relation to the nurse we hope to secure and for whom there can be no suitable quarters until the dispensary has been built. “In our last report we mentioned the need of a suitable con veyance in our work of visiting the sick in their homes. Although the mission provided some money for buying a horse, we were unable to do so because there was not a sufficient sum available to build a stable, and so we continue to ride a donkey, hired for each out-call. “It is hard to understand why so many hindrances have been allowed to arise and persist, unless it be to teach us not to put our trust in nurses or equipment or any physical circumstances, but only in Christ Himself, W h o never fails us, but is the same yesterday, today and forever. “In spite of all obstacles the woman’s medical work has gone on much as usual. No cases have been turned away for lack of assist ance and God has proved to be our sufficiency at all times and in all things. Had it not been necessary for us to go to India for a holiday this summer we feel sure that the year’s statistics would have exceeded those of other years. Even as it is, the dispensary has not been closed during our absence, but emergencies have been met very readily by Mrs. Mylrea, and we have been given the comforting assurance that those in need were not turned away. Her treatments for the summer total 451 and of these 205 were new cases. For her sympathy and loyal support during this entire year we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. “The dispensary preaching services have been held daily by Mrs. Mylrea, Miss Schafheitlin and myself and a good number of Scriptures have been sold to patients. There has been very little

hostility evidenced during the services and a number of women have seemed really interested. “Sara, the dispensary assistant who died during the summer, affirmed at one time that she was a Christian and had given up Islam. W e felt that she was sincere at the time, although her knowledge of Christianity was only a very partial and unsatisfactory one. Mrs. Mylrea visited her just before her death, but all Sara would say was: ‘The Prophet Jesus is dear.’ Whether she truly believed in Christ only He can tell. “W e look forward to the coming year knowing that Christ, W ho has been our sufficiency in the past, will continue to be so in the future and with Him all things are possible.” .

FORTY-FIFTH A N N I V E R S A R Y Bright skies, fragrant blossoms, and the general joyous air of springtime greeted the large numbers who assembled from far and near to celebrate the Forty- fifth Anniver sary of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions in the Reformed Church of Poughkeepsie on May twentieth. The exercises of the day were most appropriately com menced by singing, “When Morning Gilds the Skies,” after which Rev. Dr. Case conducted the devotional serv ice, reading the third chapter of Ephesians and offering a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings which God has bestowed upon us during the past year. - The cordial words of welcome spoken by Mrs. Philip W. Pitcher, President of the Poughkeepsie Auxiliary, were responded to by Mrs. F. A. Baldwin, President of the Board, who reminded us that we must no longer think in pre-war terms, but in those of world-wide responsibility. The report of the Treasurer, Miss Katharine Van Nest, showed receipts for the year to the amount of $109, 898.87. Although the $125,000 goal was not attained, all our definite obligations were met, and we go forward with increased responsibilities for the next year, having assumed the work among the women and children of Arabia, beside the support of three new Missionaries who are going to India. After reading a message of congratulation from Synod’s Board, Miss Cobb led our thoughts in loving memory of those who formerly companied with us, and who now walk with God, in His presence: Mrs. David James Burrell, for sixteen years the devoted President of the Board, Mrs. Edward G. Janeway, for many years one of its VicerPresidents, and Mrs. C. L. Wells, Miss A. M. Sandham and Miss A. V. W. Fisher, Honorary Vice-Presi dents. The list of newly-elected officers was read, and the newly-appointed missionaries* Misses M. L. Berg and

Ruth L. Scudder, were announced. Attention was called to the Mission Study Book for this year:— “A Crusade of Compassion for the Healing of the Nations,” and the various posters and leaflets. Miss Frances Davis, Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work, spoke of the Young Women’s Church League for Service, and urged a more general interest on the part of the young women. Mrs. H. H. Crispell, Leader for Camp Eendracht, was introduced and, speaking of the need of co-operation and education, appealed to the auxiliaries to send young women to Northfield, that they may thus gain inspiration and education. Miss Maud Norling,- of the Amoy Mission, spoke of the great natural beauties and riches of China, contrasting with these the squalid homes of many of the people, the ignorance, superstition, and empty lives of most of the women, and their need of the knowledge and help which we can give them. The Chinese are eagerly accept ing Christ as they learn of him, even turning their ancestral halls and temples into schools and chapels. Our opportunities there are great. It is ours to use them. Miss Jeane Noordhoff brought greetings from the girls’ ' school at Shimonoseki. Unrolling a beautiful kakemono, a painting of a branch of plum blossoms against a full moon, Miss Noordhoff explained the Japanese name of the school— Baiko Jo Gakuin, Plum-light Girls’. School. As the plum-tree blossoms in February, when cold winds blow and storms rage, and their fragrance is wafted on the wintry air, so the girls must live pure lives whose fragrance shall be known by their influence even despite indifference and neglect. As the light of God’s love guides, and changes darkness to light, so the school aspires to be a light set on a hill in Shimonoseki, illuminat ing its darkness and wickedness, and the girls pray that this illumination may extend over the whole empire. After an Indian lyric, beautifully sung by a girl in Indian costume, Mrs. Wm. Bancroft Hill, speaking of the

gracious personality and beautiful influence of Mrs. Booth, who gave thirty-six years of service to Ferris Seminary, announced the object of the offering, the Emily Stelle Booth Memorial, which is to be an Administration Build ing for the Seminary, thereby relieving its over-crowded condition, and affording more room for the 107 new pupils who have just entered the Seminary. . Most enjoyable were a Chinese song, by three girls in Chinese costume, and the Japanese national anthem and a hymn, sung by a girl in Japanese dress. Miss Elisabeth W. Conklin, of the Arcot Mission, gave us glimpses of the restricted, joyless lives of the women of India, especially of the little child widows who still are held responsible for the death of the husbands or fiances whom they perhaps have scarcely seen, and whose lives must be passed in expiation of this offense. The lives of those fortunate enough to belong to more enlightened families were forcibly contrasted with these. W e need more missionaries to take light and hope to these women and girls. The morning session was closed with the hymn, “The Son of God Goes Forth to War.” After a delicious and bountiful luncheon served by/the ladies of the Poughkeepsie Church, the afternoon session was commenced by singing, “Fling Out the Banner.” Miss Gertrud Schafheitlin, of Basrah, brought greetings from the Arabian women. Dr. Sarah L. Hosmon, of Maskat, told us of her medical work among the women of Arabia. Commencing with a few hundreds the first year, she had treated 5,000 during her last year in that country. These women, used to the burning with red-hot irons and other barbarous practices of their native doctors, are being slowly won by Christian treatment. Many cases in which the blind were made to see were cited by Dr. Hosmon. Grateful mention was made of the great help afforded by the Sewing Guild boxes, which oftimes provide clean clothing for children whose sole raiment had been filthy rags.

Sincere thanks were voted to the Poughkeepsie Church for its cordial and generous hospitality. The offering of the afternoon was consecrated in prayer by Mrs. J. W. Conklin. Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, in speaking on “The World Crisis and Foreign Missions,” mentioned the post-war problems which call for reliance and faith in God. A great part of the world is suffering from devastation, loss of man-power, wholesale slaughter of women and child ren, starvation, pestilence and economic ruin. W e are faced by the task of reorganizing a demoralized world, in which, now that the tension of the war is relaxed, the moral level is lower than before the armistice. New nations, new boundaries, new claims and new allegiances will affect the missionary work in many countries. Vital, questions are arising— we must confront Bolshevism, rationalism, the shipping of liquor,,prohibited here, to China— the exhibi tion of films, forbidden by the censors here, in China and Japan,— the exportation of morphine to China. The mis sionary enterprise alone can bring order out of chaos. No league of nations will survive unless founded on conscience. Former President Taft has said that the foreign mission aries are pioneers in pushing Christian civilization. Prof. Nitobe testifies that in Japan all the movements toward social and hygienic reform are initiated by Christian leaders. To form an orderly world, men and women must conform to Christ’s teachings. It must be a new world wherein dwelleth righteousness. ‘ Nothing that is right is impossible. Nothing that God calls us to do is impossible. To exalt Christ before the world, to crown Him Lord of Lords and King of Kings— -to us is this ministry given. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. Case, and we went forth, surely inspired to greater effort, and with the purpose to attempt great things for God. M

A N N U A L REPORT OF T H E CORRESPONDING SECRETARY. FELLOWSHIP.

The year just closing has been a year of good-fellowship in which the Auxiliaries and the Board have been strengthened by closer mutual acquaintance. In July a tour covering that part of the Classis of Cascades which lies on this side of the Canadian Border resulted in a quickening of missionary interest in already existing women s societies, and in the organization of auxiliaries in five churches where none had been. Pursuant to an offer made by the Board in February to send speakers wherever desired, invitations were received which ran over into March and April. During this time fifteen Board members and six missionaries, with the gracious co-operation of the President and Secretaries of Synod’s Board, have made approximately 250 visits to societies and churches, exclusive of the regular conferences of Classical Missionary Unions and a number of general conferences in connection with the Reformed Church Progress Campaign. Simultaneously with this visitation in the East, Mrs. Wayer, Mrs. Zwemer and Miss Noordhoff visited many Societies in the Svnod of Chicago. • Spanish influenza, which in some localities closed all places of public meeting, played serious havoc with the Fall Conferences. Some were not held at all; others were postponed to combine later with Progress Campaign Con ferences. All Spring Conferences were held as usual. P R O G R E S S CAMPAIGN.

Of the Progress Campaign Conferences the first series was held in the Middle West in September. Representa tives of the Women’s Boards in company with delegates of the other boards of the Church visited the Classes of Pella, Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, Grand River, Holland, and Michigan, and the churches of Cleveland, Ohio, to link up the women of the West to the general progress program of the Church. In the Eastern Synods, in consideration of 48

•

other contacts between the Women’s Boards and the societies of the East, our representation at Progress Cam paign Conferences was limited to the Classes of Albany, Rensselaer, Hudson, Kingston and Ulster, Orange, Bergen, South Bergen, New Brunswick, North Long Island and Newark. In all these conferences it has been our aim to show that the ten-point program of the church, embracing personal evangelism, enlistment, training for leadership, co-operation in missionary activity, intelligence, steward ship, and efficient world service, is woman’s responsibility as well as man’s, and to urge every woman in every com munity to assume her share. GROWTH.

That' the women have taken this message seriously is evidenced in the increase of membership reported from many societies, notably from the Second Church of Kala mazoo, which in three months added 52 members, and. in the organization of new societies as follows: Strasburg, N. D. Seattle, Washington Spokane, Washington Oak Harbor, Washington Manhattan, Montana • Big Timber, Montana Linden, N e w Jersey DeMotte, Indiana (English) Mariner’s Harbor, N e w York College Point, N e w York

Church of the Comforter, N e w York City St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Hyde Park, N e w York Garfield, Ne w Jersey First, Orange City (Young Married Women) North and Southampton, Churchville, Pa.

The Young Women’s Committee also reports young women’s and girls’ societies newly organized in the follow ing churches: Westwood, N e w Jersey Middle Collegiate, N e w York City First, Bayonne, N e w Jersey • Marble Collegiate, N e w York City First, Rochester, N e w York Lansing. Illinois Newark, N e w York Unity, Muskegon, Mich. First, Somerville, N e w Jersey Mohawk; New York Oak Harbor, Washington Nyack, N e w York Suydam Street, N e w Brunswick, Second, Schenectady, N e w York N e w Jersey Mont Pleasant, Schenectady, N. Y. First, Orange City, Iowa Overisel, Michigan Hurley, New York Port Richmond, N e w York Fifth, Muskegon, Michigan Mt. Vernon, N ew York First. Zeeland, Michigan Bronxville, N e w York DeMotte, Indiana Manor Chapel, N e w York City Fifth, Albany, N e w York

A children’s band of 107 members is also reported from the First Church of Holland, Michigan. This increases the number of women’s societies to six'hundred and eighty-eight, and the number of young women’s and children's societies to three hundred and fifty. EDUCATION.

The work of education in things missionary has gone forward in the usual way of information through the col umns of the Mission Field and the Intelligencer, the Leader, and DeHope, and by the publication of the fol lowing leaflets, which are distributed without charge to societies and individuals on request:

Women Workers of Mesopotamia, by Mrs. Van Ess. Nodha, by Dr. Calverley. In the Steps of the Great Physician, by Dr. Calverley (a reprint from the Mission Field.) Way Stations and By Ways, by Miss Hospers. The Saga Special, by Miss Hospers. Snapshots, by Miss Conklin. Skipping Ropes and Monkeys, by Mrs. Beattie. ' What Hana Chan Learned at Sunday School, by Miss Noordhoff. . Because Miss Seymore Sacrificed, by Katherine Thaxter, • (reprinted from The Continent). The Four-Squxire Challenge of our Opportunity, by Dr. Zwemer (a reprint). An interesting statistical chart has been prepared by Mrs. DeWitt Knox showing the present status of our work in the number of missionaries and missionary insti tutions, a copy of which should be in the hands of every leader. ” An unusual number of requests for pageants and other dramatic programs indicates that people are recognizing more and more the value of visualization to give reality tc the conditions and needs of the “far-scattered children of God.” Costumes and curios have been in so great demand that the preparation and mailing of selected materials has .

50.

been a very real tax upon the time and patience of our limited office force. Provision has been made for the systematic missionary education of the Sunday Schools by the publication, in con junction with the three other Boards, of Twenty-four Missionary Travelogues for the Intermediate Department. These Travelogues are accompanied by colored posters illustrating each chapter and continue the course for Primary and Junior grades contained in the Missionary Stories by Miss Applegarth, published last year. The United Study text book for 1918, Women Workers of the Orient, has been widely read, and we have regretted that we had so little supplemental literature to meet re quests from societies and study classes. The women’s text book for 1919, A Crusade of Compassion for the Healing of the Nations, and the children’s text book, Mook, a Chinese Boy, are already published. W e antici pate a larger use of the Crusade of Compassion than of any. previous text book because of its direct bearing upon our Medical Work in India and Arabia. The 1918 Northfield Summer School for Women’s For eign Missionary Societies had a Reformed Church registration of 84 women and girls, and Camp Eendracht flour ished under the leadership of Miss Helen Searle. Plans are now forward for the Summer School of 1919. In Foreign Mission Week Camp Eendracht will have a new leader, Mrs. H. H. Crispell of the Fair Street Reformed Church of Kingston. A call has also been issued to older women to enroll in a “Senior Camp” for purposes of bet ter acquaintance and mutual inspiration. CHANGES.

There is no year but marks the passing of some workers from service here into the “Land of Light and Love.” Changes have come inevitably in the personnel of the Board and of our co-laborers in the churches. Twice has the Angel of Life come to our door, and called those who for many years had companied with us to join the com pany of those who serve in the light of the Master’s face.

To Mrs. David James Burrell, ex-President of the Board, and to Mrs. Edward G. Janeway, Vice-President of the Synod of New York, has this promotion come. In the hush that fell upon us as they entered the glory we heard the voice of their Lord and ours bidding us “Keep Faith.” Memorial minutes spread upon the records of the Board are appended to this report. From the roll of our Honorary Vice-Presidents, too, friends long familiar have passed. Mrs. Cornelius L. Wells of Brooklyn, Miss A. M. Sandham of New York, and Miss A. V. D. W. Fisher of Hackensack, N. J., having faithfully served their generation have entered into rest. The amalgamation of one of our Brooklyn congrega tions with an adjoining church of “allied faith and order” has lost to us two valued members of the Board, Miss Alice Pool and Mrs. W. R. Bennett. W e follow them with an earnest wish that they may be as happily useful in their new relationship as they have been with us. The resignation of Miss Maud S. Clark has been accepted with deep regret, and with sincere appreciation of her years of devotion to the interests and work of the Board. By recent election Mrs. Edgar F. Romig of the Middle Collegiate Church of New York City was chosen a m e m ber of the Board, and Miss Anna W. Olcott, our efficient Classical Committee of the Classis of New York, was ap pointed an Honorary Vice-President. By reason of the organization of the Missionary Union of the Classis of Dakota and the division of the Classis of Iowa' into the Classes of East and West Sioux, as well as through the resignation of several Classical Committees on account of removal from their classes or because of physical disability, the following changes have come about. Classical Committee Retired Miss Eliza P. Cobb Cascades Classis Dakota Classis Grand River Classis Mrs;, A. Vandenberg Mrs. Ralph Veneklasen Holland Classis Miss Marie Muilenberg East Sioux Classis (formerly Iowa) Mrs. W. H. Nearpass Orange Classis Mrs. DeWitt Roosa Ulster Classis

Appointed. Mrs. B. Van Heuvelen Mrs. J. DeBeer Mrs. Nicholas Boer Miss Henrietta Zwemer Mrs. Thos. E. Welmers Mrs. Almarin Phillips •

While we regret this necessary severance of official relationship with those who have served so faithfully in the past, we know that their interest in the missionary cause is no less warm and genuine, and we welcome their successors as partners of our joy in this “greatest work in the world.” T H E MISSION FIELDS. As the Annual Reports of the Foreign Secretaries are included this year within the same covers as the Cor responding Secretary’s report, it is necessary to mention here only such items regarding the work abroad as con cern the staff of missionaries, the general conditions of their work, and some outstanding events. INDIA.

During the year 1918 the Arcot Mission has suffered loss in the death of Mrs. E. C. Scudder, Mrs. John H. Wyckoff, and Mrs. William C. Van Doren. God knew “His tired servants needed rest” and called them home. Miss Henrietta Drury, returning to the mission as Mrs. Knud Lange, adds to our force the strength of an efficient member of the Danish Missionary Society. Miss Coburn, our newest missionary, is busy with language study at Chittoor, and the Misses Te Winkel have returned to the field from their furlough. Mrs. Roy and Miss Durick have returned home during the year. W e rejoice in two enlistments for service for the Arcot Mission. Miss Matilda L. Berg, now engaged in re lief work in Armenia, is under appointment to take charge of kindergarten work at Chittoor. Miss Ruth Lawsing Scudder of Albany, great-granddaughter of one of the founders of the Mission, honors the memory of her fore fathers and sustains the missionary history of the Scud der name by joining the Arcot Mission in this, its one hundredth anniversary year. Plague, cholera, smallpox, influenza, and famine have ravaged the country, leaving the natives in pitiable condi

tion. More pitiable than physical famine is the cry of a soul-hungry people for the Bread of Life, and the inability of our depleted missionary band to supply the need. On July 18th the Union Missionary Medical College at Vellore opened its doors to 18 women students. Of this college the Mary Taber Schell Hospital is the training school. A unique item in the history of the Board is our con tribution this year of $150.00 to help carry temporarily the work of the German Mission in Malabar, Southwest India. CHINA.

After fifty-three years of service to the Amoy Mission, Mrs. Leonard Kip has returned to America and will make her home with her sister in Carmel, California. Mrs. J. H. Snoke has removed from the Amoy Mission to Shanghai. More serious even than the interruption of the work by the ubiquitous Spanish influenza has been the effect of the Civil War in South China. Against their will our Sio-khe and Chiang-chiu missionaries were detained in Amoy and Toa-bo until it was considered safe for them to return to their stations. Schools were late in opening and depleted in numbers and up-country visiting was pro hibited. At last account, however, the mission was run ning normally. It is good to learn that the long-projected and sorelyneeded hospital, the Elizabeth Blauvelt Memorial, is at length under way at Tong-an and that there is a prospect of beginning the work in the North River District. The opening for Women’s Work in these two connections is obvious and the call is loud for the three new women mis sionaries needed for this extension of our work. JAPAN.

Miss Moulton has celebrated the 30th anniversary of her arrival in Japan and Miss Lansing and Miss Couch

have passed their 25th year. “Enlisted for the period of the war” should be the honor chevron of these veteran missionary soldiers. W e congratulate them, ourselves, and the Mission upon their long and valiant service. Miss Pieters and Miss Demarest have returned from furlough. Miss Pieters is again at her post at Shimonoseki and Miss Demarest is studying the language at Tokyo. Dr. Booth has been decorated by the Japanese Govern ment for distinguished service to education in Japan. The growth of Ferris Seminary makes imperative the addition of a new building for class rooms and offices. Such a building is projected as a memorial to Mrs. Eugene S. Booth, to be called the Emily Stelle Booth Memorial Hall as a tribute to Mrs. Booth’s thirty-six years of service as teacher, mother, counselor and friend to the girls of Ferris Seminary. It is the desire of the Board to complete the fund for this building during this year, the Fiftieth Anniversary year of the founding of Ferris Seminary. With this in view the birthday offering and the special February offering of the Sunday Schools have been applied to this Memorial. The opening on May 30, 1918, of the Japan Wo m a n ’s Christian College, of which our Woman’s Board is a sup porting member, opens new vistas to the graduates of Ferris and Sturges Seminaries, for it makes possible the continuance of their education under Christian teachers and Christian influences. ‘ ARABIA.

Mrs. Van Ess has returned to her school at Basrah accompanied by her friends, the Misses Jackson, who are proving not mere visitors but valuable helpers. Mrs. Barny, en route to Arabia from her furlough, is loaned for a time to the Arcot Mission. . By invitation of Synod’s Board the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions this year assumed to the Arabian Mis sion the same relation that it has hitherto sustained to the missions in India, China and Japan. Thus we have be come responsible for the work among women and children

in Arabia. This increases the Woman’s Board budget by about $4,000, and adds to the list of O U R MISSIONARIES the splendid corps of women workers in the Arabian Mission. Blest be this new tie that binds us.

H O M E ADMINISTRATION. MEETINGS.

The regular meetings of the Directors and the Board have been held as usual from October to May, also a number of meetings of the Ad Interim Committee to act upon emergency matters. Two special meetings were called, one on January 28th to commission Miss Matilda Berg for India, the other on February 19th to receive Dr. S. Earl Taylor’s presentation of the Interchurch World Move ment. At the regular meetings in February and March the Classical Committees of nearby Classes were invited to meet with the Board for our mutual understanding and strengthening. W e have been privileged to have as guests from time to time, Mrs. Kip, Mrs. Pitcher, Mrs. Zwemer, Miss Norling, Dr. Hosmon, Miss Noordhoff and Miss Conk lin, and as speakers, Dr. Cobb, Dr. Chamberlain, Dr. Zwemer, Dr. S. Earl Taylor and Mr. James M. Speers. S Y N O D O F CHICAGO.

The Particular Synod of Chicago has kept in touch with the Board through its Vice-President, Mrs. Wayer. Mrs. Wayer reports over a hundred letters written to Classical Committees, Auxiliaries and individuals and many visits to single societies and union meetings. Mrs. Zwemer, too, , has spoken in many of the Western churches. At the mission-fest in Grand Rapids last summer the Vice President gave a brief review of the fields under the care of the Woman’s Board, “the first time that this work has been given a place in the mission-fest program.” The record of increased membership, fervent prayer and gen erous giving is clear evidence of what we already knew that “the Board’s work is very close to the hearts of our Western women.”

The forward step of the Young Women's Foreign Com mittee in leaguing itself with the Young Women’s Com mittee of the Domestic Board for more efficient service gives great satisfaction to the Board and is regarded as a bright augury for the future of the Young Women’s Com mittee and of the Board. Their full and admirable report will be read with interest and profit not only by the young women of the Church but by all leaders in Women’s Work. EDITORIAL A N D E D U C A T I O N A L SECRETARY.

Through the Mission Field and the Intelligencer the Editorial and Educational Secretary, Miss Lawrence, has kept the home constituency in touch with the work in the fields. She has also arranged through the courtesy ,of Mr. Van Kersen, the Western Field Secretary, to have items of interest published in the Leader, and DeHope, thereby reaching a larger number of readers. Through her con nection with the Northfield Summer School Committee, the United Study Committee, and the Committee on Chris tian Literature she has kept us in touch with the broader interests of the Kingdom. By bringing to the Board significant matters from outside our narrow circle she has helped us to follow her own injunction to “add to virtue knowledge.” . T H E TREASURY.

I N T E R D E N O M I N A T I O N A L RELATIONS The Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions has had its representatives at several Interdenominational Confer ences and on important interdenominational committees. W e have shared in the deliberations and been stirred by the enthusiasms of the Pan-Presbyterian Council at Atlantic City, the Foreign Missions Conference at New Haven, and the Inter-Board Conference at Cleveland. Two members of our Board have been chosen to member ship in the so-called “Committee of 100,” the General Com mittee of the Inter-Church World Movement of North America. ' When asked at the great Inter-Board Conference at Cleveland what relation the Women’s Societies bear to the Inter-Church World Movement, Mrs. W. H. Farmer, a member of the Executive Committee of the Movement, replied: “Women gladly shoulder heavy responsibility. W e feel that as the war activity of fifty years ago caused our mothers to organize missionary societies so, today, after the war, we are organized, ready with you to kindle new fires in this new era. W e are glad to co-operate. W e be lieve in team work. “W e represent ........ a constituency of sixty per cent, of the church membership. These we must reach and influence to work with all of you for the success of this great movement. It is a heavy responsibility. W e cannot do it as any one denomination in one community in one section alone. It must be all of us working together and we believe the time has come for this great forward movement in which women as well as men shall recognize the responsibility for the evangelization of the world.” By the clear call of the trumpet that shall never sound retreat we women of the Reformed Church are sum moned to throw in our fighting forces with the Allied Armies of Jesus Christ. Forgetting unessential differences,

trampling on petty jealousies, broad-visioned, sure of our Cause and our Commander, each unit in its place must go over to Victory. Only the impact of a mighty army march ing as one, on fire with the Spirit of the living God, can shatter Satan’s line and win from chaos that “new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.” E liza P.

Having heard that our Heavenly Father has called hence to be with Himself your former President, Mrs. David James Burrell: The Japan Mission of the Reformed Church in America desires to put on record its deep appreciation of her love and devotion to the work of Foreign Missions, especially for Japanese women and children, during the sixteen years she was your efficient and faithful executive head; and gratefully acknowledge the help and inspiration her devotion and ability were to those who are striving to bring the Kingdom of God to the people of Dai Nippon. To those who were associated with her, and to her family we extend deep sympathy; and commend them to the Source of all comfort for consolation in the loss they have sustained. While respectfully submitting this appreciation on behalf of the Mission, I beg to add m y personal tribute to the beautiful Christian character she was, the memory of which I shall always reverently cherish.

The Amoy Mission pauses to think in loving memory.of Mrs. David James Burrell, for sixteen years President of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions. ' ' W e wish to record our deep sense of her untiring love, her loyal devotion and courageous fidelity to the great interests of the Kingdom in foreign lands. Truly of her we would say: “Like as a light, Thy life was set to counsel, to befriend, Thy quick and eager insight seized the light, And shared the prize with bounteous hand and free, Fed from the fountain of infinity. Thy life was service, having love to spend.” May God, who in His wisdom has promoted our friend, Mrs. Burrell, to His eternal glory, give grace and comfort to her loved ones, and guidance to her former associates in the work with which she was long connected. .

From the Minutes of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, April 8, 1919. The W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions of the Reformed Church in America is deeply conscious of the sad loss it has suffered in the death of Mrs. Edward G. Janeway, one of the Vice-Presidents. From her youth up Mrs. Janeway had been identified with the Reformed Church of which her father, the Rev. Dr. E. P. Rogers was an honored minister, both, in Albany and N e w York. She be-

came a member of this Board in 1890 and ten years later was elected to the office ,which she held at the time of her death. Her cheerful and forceful personality has been a tower of strength to the Board through all the years. She was deeply interested in the work and added greatly to its power and efficiency. ■Her genial hos pitality and warm welcome lent an additional attraction to the social side of our anniversary meetings, and many who were present at the meeting in Kingston still recall with pleasure the grace and dimity with which she presided at that time. Endowed with unusual vitality and an optimistic temperament, Mrs. Janeway combined keen insight with excellent judgment and Christian courage. 'She looked forward and perceived new possibilities of growth in the work both at home and abroad. She was a staunch supporter of every advance step in the cause of missions and was influential in the formation of the “Young W o m a n ’s Branch,” which has become increasingly important in its activities and usefulness. She was also chairman of the committee which gave so much time and thought to the revision of the By-Laws of our Constitution, made necesary by the 'great expansion of the work of the Board. W e all came to confide more and more in her judgment, while we felt the exhilaration of her buoyant spirit which seemed to bring a touch of ozone into the atmosphere of our meetings. She was one who ' “Never doubted clouds would break, Never' dreamed though right were worsted, wrong would tnfiimph. Held we fall to rise, are baffied to fight better, Sleep to wake.” Though her capacity for grief was intense according to the fervor of her spirit, she did not allow the deepest, most over whelming sorrows of her later years to cloud her interest in missionary work, but persevered in it with patient, unflagging endeavor. W e miss her sadly and we desire to record our loving gratitude for all her long service in the Board and to express our heartfelt , sympathy for her family in their bereavement. W e cannot but rejoice for her that she has entered, without protracted suffering or weakness, into the heavenly home, where there is no more death, where God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes “and His servants shall serve Him, and they shall see His face.” '

S E W I N G GUILD. “It is the war.” H o w often the excuse has been used these past months; but we feel that it may be legitimately applied to - the decrease in contributions to* the Sewing Guild; for many of our societies have thought that there was great danger that- the boxes containing articles on which they had expended much time, effort and money would be sent to the bottom of the sea. Right here it may be well to state that the com mittee has no knowledge of any of them having met that end. It is true that there have been great delays in transportation, the worst case being that of three boxes which were taken from the Church House in November, 1917; word has recently been received that, after resting in ^)ort till February, 1919, they were shipped to Asia and have probably arrived now, a welcome surprise to the missionaries, who had given them up for lost. Our receipts have also been affected by the constantly mounting cost of materials, and by the absorption of many of the women of our churches in Red Cross and war relief work. The Sewing Guild Committee wishes to pay a tribute to those loyal women in the societies who have kept faith through these trying times. It is encouraging to receive messages like the following:— “I find it difficult to interest the members in anything but Red Cross, but I don’t want our Sewing Guild work to lapse.” “There is so much war relief work being done that certainly does take time from other things; these are surely serious times for us all, but I do not want the mission work neglected.". “W e have succeeded in getting a special offering, so will con tinue work for the Sewing Guild.” There are other societies which, while deeply engrossed in attending to the needs of war sufferers, gave special offerings to be sent to the mission fields for the purchase of such articles as can be gotten there. The following quotations will show the spirit of some of the auxiliaries as they work:—

“Our gift is small, but accompanied by prayer.” “W e hope and pray that we may have a greater love and zeal for the many lost souls that have not heard the Gospel, and that we may have an interest in the work.” “May these bring as much joy and pleasure in the hospital as they did to our members while making them.” Appreciation is also due to our missionaries for their readiness to meet the situation. One writes:— “I am order ing as if there were no war; please do what you can with the list and for what comes we will be truly thankful and make the best of what can’t be sent.” Again, “W e do not need dolls this year— clothes we must have, but luxuries we can do without.” Anyone familiar with the chronic hun ger for dolls will know what that decision has cost. Another writes:— “The amount for the Hindu Girls’ Schools is really to be wondered at when there are these other things to do.” And from China this word comes “But as things are so expensive at home now, and so hard to send, we can wait for gifts till after the war.” H o w carefully those trifling gifts are used is shown by the following:— “The Guild boxes came in so nicely for Christmas. The lowest class and the pupils of the girls’ school at an,out-station received wristlets, the next two classes washcloths with a safety pin attached, and the rest of the school and teachers, soap (which means that the cakes of soap had been parted from their washcloth wrappings) ; the baby slips were used for some little refugee babies who had almost nothing to keep them warm this winter.” Of the money sent to the fields one reports from Japan I want to thank the Sewing Guild for my share of the money they sent. It was used to buy Christmas gifts for the Sunday School children of our three schools— there were 157. Since the number was greater and the gifts higher, the money went faster than in former years.” That missionary received five dollars. W e are told that French women have the ability to make a dollar go farther than anyone else; do you not think that this

American, at least, is fully their equal? From Arabia we receive this message:— “Hearty and sincere thanks for the money. I have the gifts ready for Christmas; so some poor, needy ones will enjoy the kindness of the good folk who live so far away.” The need on the field is greater than it has ever been, b^ause of conditions resulting from the war. W e are told that “I really don't know what we would have done with out the jackets and petticoats. The price of cloth in India is simply prohibitive. It is awfully hard on the poor people, and school appropriations would not have stood the drain. Never have I appreciated the work of the Sewing Guild as much as now.” From a hospital we hear:— “All the articles are so welcome, and we greatly appreciate the work of the ladies who so kindly make them. The blankets for the new babies are splendid; it is such a comfort to be able to keep them snug and warm. Be assured that everything sent fills a very great need, and we are thankful indeed for the comfort that they bring to many.” Another grateful friends writes:— “The boxes have been explored and the contents stored on shelves and in boxes ready to be given out when called for, and every Monday morning there is a call. Today six very dilapidated skirts and seven unwearable jackets were shown to me and new ones given in their place. In these days of high prices we are doubly thankful for the Sewing Guild boxes. It is a great comfort to have these garments for our school girls; but I have been thinking that perhaps societies will be sewing for the soldiers instead of for children in India; it would be a serious problem had we to buy all the clothing for them. The dolls, too, are very nice. Seeing they are so hard to get I did not expect to have many this year, but the Sewing Guild workers seem to have compelled some to come in, and they are very welcome. Accept m y warmest thanks for all these most useful garments, the picture cards, dolls and work bags. They represent much labor, and I am sure in some cases much self-denial.”

Have we really denied ourselves to any extent, and if so, hasn’t it been worth while? The war cannot longer be made an excuse. As our women are being released from Red Cross activities we ask them to remember those millions of women and children in mission lands who, we are told, are “stunned as well as overwhelmed by the severity of conditions.” W e still have a “Front” in Asia, and, as someone has said, “A Front demands a Back.” W e feel sure that we can rely on our auxiliaries, and can say that we have a Back that will supply adequate support and equipment for our Front. The circumstances call for renewed effort on the part of the women and girls in our church. “So built we the wall........ for the people had a mind to work.” S a r a h A. B u s s i n g .

REPORT OF T H E SECRETARY OF T H E Y O U N G W O M E N ’S COMMITTEE. For many of us, November 12, 1918 will stand as a memorial date, indeed, for it was on that day the Associate Members of the Women’s Board of Domestic Missions and the Committee on Young Woman’s Work of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions met for the purpose of merging these two committees into one under the name of the Young Women’s Committee of the Women’s Boards of Missions. Realizing as never before the earnest need of co-operation, of working hand in hand in the east and in the west, at home and abroad, this group of young women, supported by their mother Boards, joined hearts and hands to work for the furthering of Christ’s kingdom throughout the world. So it was for the purpose of electing their new officers that this body of young women met on that day. Miss Jessie Briggs was unanimously chosen to serve as our General Chairman, and a very conscientious and efficient chairman she has proved herself. Mrs. Isaac Park was elected Secretary, while Miss Bedell and Miss Jelleme were continued as Chairmen of the Domestic and Foreign Committees by Board appointment. Following out the plan outlined in the leaflet Young Women’s Church League for Service, Miss Ruth Francisco was chosen to serve as Chairman of the General Christian Service Committee. Although this committee has not had sufficient time to get fairly under way, we are all looking forward with great expectations .and eagerness to this new branch of service, and under the efficient Chairman’s leadership, we are certain of excellent results once the work has been fairly launched. Miss Elizabeth Van Brunt was unanimously chosen as Editor of the Young Women’s Department of the “Mission Field,” which represents all phases of work of the Young Women’s Committee. W e were particularly

fortunate in securing the services of Miss Van Brunt for this branch as she has proved herself to be especially adapted for this sort of work. Later an Editorial Com mittee was appointed to assist the Editor, consisting of the Field Secretary, and a member each from, the Home' and the Foreign Committee. Realizing the need of training our young women to act as speakers for the presentation of our work, the General Chairman appointed as Speakers Committee Miss Olcott, Miss Searle and Miss Vennema. It is a pleasure to note that through the untiring efforts of our Field Secretary, who has done much visiting among the Churches throughout the country this year, we are hearing almost weekly of new societies which have been formed or are contemplating organization. This year a departure was made from the usual custom of holding a Rally during the month of January in New York City. This plan was not feasible this winter; so our Field Secretary hit upon the plan of holding Group Conferences at various centers, for the young people of the Classis. Most of us are familiar with the great success with which this plan has met. It was with a great deal of satisfaction we learned that Miss Bedell is to be the Camp Leader at Northfield this summer for the Home Week while Mrs. Homer Crispell has consented to be the Leader during Foreign Week. In this connection, also, it will be gratifying to note that Miss Davis was selected to act as Secretary for Camp Eendracht, working in co-operation with the Leaders for both conferences. The following publications have been sent out under the Joint Committee:— Young Women’s Church League for Service together with a letter to all societies; posters ad vertising the Church League for Service and place cards which were used in connection with the Group Conferences. And so our first year has come to a close and as we stand almost on the threshold of another year, we are looking eagerly forward to the wonderfully glorious oppor. 70

tunities which are awaiting us there all ready for us to reach out and gather in. In closing this report I can think of no better words than those of the refrain of our League Hymn: “Working together, forward we go, Leagued in Christ’s service, that the world His love may know.” . H a z e l I. P a r k , Secretary.

REPORT OF Y O U N G W O M E N ’S FOREIGN .COMMITTEE.

The Young Women’s Foreign Committee is happy to present its report for the year 1918-1919 as a part of the whole Committee’s work. One soldier of the Great War analyzed his willingness to “dice with death” as “Not for flag,.nor king, nor emperor, • But for a dream born in a herdsman’s shed.” To make that dream in its practical application known to more young women and girls within our denominational church and outside of it is the aim of our Committee. Our Foreign Committee has met regularly each month and since December as a part of the whole Young Women’s Committee. Our members available for active service have been most faithful, making splendid attendance record. , Resignations have been received from the Misses Lott, Lansing, Secor, Mastin, Hart and Mrs. F. L. Allen. Other changes in membership are that the names of the Misses Whiting, Cowles, Bruyn and Von Schlieder will not appear in this year’s list. W e are happy to add two new names to our membership .-— Miss Pearl S. Green of Scotia, N. Y., who has accepted appointment as Vice-Chairman of our Foreign Committee for the Particular Synod of Albany and Miss Ruth Hawley ofoSomerville, N. J. Two of our members, Miss Olcott and Miss Landrine, are now also identified with the General Christian Service Committee. Mrs. -Park has served as Secretary, of the Young Women’s Committee. W e recognize Miss Deyo’s faithful service as Foreign Committee Secretary and Miss Geer’s service as Finance Secretary; we appreciate Miss Landrine’s willingness to take over the Periodical Ex change and we have been proud to have Miss Van Brunt represent us on the Mission Field, first as co-editor and now as Editor of the Young Women’s Department. Miss Jeanette Westveer as Vice-Chairman of our

Foreign Committee for Chicago with a group of young women representing churches of that section has given most efficient service in keeping in close touch with her home churches, and with the Field Secretary and Chairman and in doing personal visitation. Contributions from Western societies have been larger than ever before and it is especially noteworthy that in the Classis of Pella every society contributed to our work. Resignations have been received from seven who have served as Classical Committees and the names appearing in this year’s Report are on such basis as to include our Home and Foreign Mission responsibilities and our General Christian Service interests. Our budget was increased this year from $3,631 to $4,000 and the statement of receipts .which follows shows our appropriations have been more than met. In March we voted to add $250 for Arabia, which amount has been assigned to Dr. Hosmon’s medical work, and in May further increase of $850 was voted, making total increase for next year of $1,100. W e acknowledge with gratitude the assistance and over sight of members of the Wo m a n ’s Board who helped us in formulating the new By-Laws which unite our two former young women’s groups and in launching the Church League for Service as a future ideal for all young women’s and girls’societies in name and in its program of service at home and abroad. The Board made it possible in June for one of our Western young women, Miss Clara Ver Schoor, to attend the Winona Conference. Camp Eendracht at Northfield under leadership of Miss Searle and Miss Ackerman was again possible through the Board’s support. Aside from the Church League for Service Program issued jointly, the Board has published in furtherance of our Foreign work three special leaflets on Miss Hospers’ work at Saga, one on the Mary Isabel Allen Dispensary, and one on the Union College Fund and has authorized reprint of The Long Way.

Under direction of Miss Van Brunt letters were sent out to all,college girls of our denomination appealing for support of the colleges at Madras and Tokyo. The Field Secretary’s co-operation has been constant and her well directed effort evident in each monthly report. W e deeply appreciate the Board’s making possible the visit of our Western and Albany Vice-Chairmen for Annual meetings. This opportunity for “get-together” will have definite results. W e also thank the Board for financial support and for supplying speakers for our Group Conferences. W e feel that our young women are finding their place and hope the Board does not consider we have asked for too much the past year as we may ask for more the next, looking forward to an enlarged work. The financial support of Societies and Leagues has been splendid. W e congratulate each on its part in bringing nearer the day when that “dream, born in a herdsman’s shed” shall be fulfilled.

REPORT OF FIELD SECRETARY FOR Y O U N G W O M E N A N D STUDENT W O R K FOR 1918-1919. t “The years should be like the steps of a golden stairway, each one lifting us a little higher,” is an aspiration of J. R. Miller. The Young Women’s Work for 1918-1919 has experienced the truth of this statement, for in certain definite ways we have gone a little higher and reached a little further. Just what development the next twelve months will bring we cannot know, but surely more results can be recorded this year than for any since the office of Field Secretary for Young Women was introduced by the Women’s Boards, which is to be expected since the work of some years reaps the benefits of plans initiated in previous years. Time does not allow any report of how war conditions have affected the Young Women’s Work except to note that, financially, young women’s organizations have at tained well. The spirit of the young women may be ex pressed by a quotation from a letter from one young women’s society:— “W e are getting along almost better than ever before,” (This came before the armistice was signed). “With war work claiming a lot of time and also thought the missionary work is not affected unless it is thereby made stronger than before. Our meetings are well attended and everybody seems interested.” The young women’s vision of service has been broadened. Especially in the Particular Synod of Chicago is this apparent. The need is that this service be consecrated to a great realiza tion of personal relationship to the Master. W e long for a quickening of the spiritual life of the young women and girls. The year’s work falls into two distinct parts, namely. before Christmas and afterwards. This is due to the epidemic of influenza which prevented personal visits to the churches throughout the fall months. The number of

speaking engagements met by the Field Secretary this year, however, is practically the same as for 1917-1918. During the fall the work at the office was developed in every way. Records were made accurate, correspondence with societies carried on, and plans initiated and worked over for the time the epidemic should allow meetings again. About 40 replies were received from 50 societies approached, before uninterested and unidentified with the Young Women’s Work. Correspondence with students has also been carried on although visits to colleges have been incidental. Only at Vassar and Barnard were meetings held with Reformed Church girls. For some time the need for some change in the Young Women’s Work had been felt. It was suggested that some form of .organization for girls and young women be pro posed to the churches which should unify the young women s societies and ally them more closely with the Women s Boards of Domestic and Foreign Missions. From this developed a change in the whole plan of Young Women’s Work beginning with the Young Women’s Committee, the report of which comes elsewhere. To the churches the present Young Women’s Committee representing both the Women’s Boards of Missions, in troduced the Church League for Service for Girls and Young Women. “The object of this League shall be to combine in one organization the various forms of Chris tian service of the young women and girls in the church; to promote a missionary spirit by prayer, study, and gifts; to support the work of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions and the Women’s Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Church in America.” The pro gram of work includes (1) MISSIONS— Domestic and Foreign, (2) G E N E R A L CHRISTIAN SERVICE— inter preted under the headings of local church work, social service, patriotic work, legislation. To introduce this new organization an attractive booklet was published explaining the plan together with a poster • expressing the purpose of the League. A series of sectional

meetings called “group conferences” were also held in churches geographically convenient to meet together. The need for such an organization as the Church League for Service was apparent after the signing of the armistice before the girls began to ask, “What Next?” Since the booklet containing the Young Women’s Work at home and abroad, a set of suggestive By-Laws for Leagues to be formed, the League hymn, rallying call, and slogan, “Leagued for Service, ‘Workers together with Him,’” was hot published until December 1st, the effort to give this program to the churches has been only since .Christmas, and so comes the second part of the year’s work. The group conferences have been held as follows: Somerville, N. J., with 116 girls from 10 churches, Hackensack, N. J., with 70 from 5 churches, N e w York City with 150 from 18 churches, Schenectady with 140 from 8 churches; Newark, N. J., with 125 from 9 churches, Passaic, N. J., with 110 from 10 churches.

■ •

.These conferences have been a luncheon or supper pre pared by those interested in furthering the Young Women’s Work, to which the girls were invited. This was followed by a program of talks on SERVICE under distinctly pleasant social conditions. The work at home and abroad has been presented by members of the Women’s Boards or of the Young Women’s Committee while the Church League for Service plan has been given by the Field Secretary for Young Women on each occasion. Northfield and Camp Eendracht has also had a place on the programs stimulating interest for the coming summer. During the year 26 new young women’s societies have been organized as follows: Westwood, N. J— In His Name Circle. Bayonne, N. J. (First)— Christian Service Society. Rochester, N. Y. (First)— Altruists. Newark, N. Y.— “Young” W o m e n ’s Missionary League. Somerville, N. J. (First)— Wide Awake Club. Oak Harbor, W a s h — Young W o m e n ’s Society. N e w Brunswick, N. J. (Suydam St.)— Carry On Circle. Orange City, la. (First)— Band of Benevolent Workers. '

Hurley, N. Y.— Helping Hand. Muskegon, Mich. (Fifth)— Naomi Society. Zeeland, Mich. (First)— Young W o m e n ’s Society. DeMotte, Ind.— Young Ladies’ Guild. Albany, N. Y. (Fifth)— Young W o m e n ’s Loyal Circle. N e w York (Middle)— Young W o m e n ’s Missionary Society. N e w York (Marble)— Girls’ Club. Lansing, 111.— Young W o m e n ’s Society. Grand Rapids, Mich. (Eighth)— Young Ladies’ Missionary Society. ■ Mohawk, N. Y.— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. Nyack, N. Y.— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. Schenectady, N. Y. (Second)— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. Schenectady, N. Y. (Mont iPleasant)— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. Overisel, Mich.— Young Women’s Church League for Service. Port Richmond, N. Y.— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. . Mt. Vernon, N. Y.— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. ’ Bronxville, N. Y.— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. New York (Manor Chapel)— Young W o m e n ’s Church League for Service. '

Of these 3 were reorganized after going out of existence while 9 have taken the suggested name:— Young Women’s Church League for Service. Several societies already doing full work have notified us that they have taken the new name making a total of about 15 organizations being thus designated so far. Many, however, are carry ing out the program of work. The conferences attended this year by the Field Secre tary have been as follows: v Student Conference at Silver Bay, N. Y., June, 1918. Foreign and Home Mission Conferences at Northfield, July, 1918. Staff and National Student Conferences at Evanston, 111., Feb ruary, 1919.

Each deserves distinct description but only one or two points can be noted. At the Silver Bay Student Conference 15 Reformed Church students were among the delegates of the conference. These the Field Secretary met socially, for personal interviews, and at the denominational rally when the work of the Women’s Boards was definitely presented. The meeting was further assisted by Rev. Clayton J. Potter, D.D., of Schenectady, who spoke on the College Girl in her Home Church and Miss Charlotte K. Drury of the Women’s Board of Domestic Missions.

The (National Student Conference at Evanston of 400 undergraduates, faculty, and guests, representing 193 insti tutions, 43 States, and 3 foreign countries, was vital, concrete and spiritual being of special value to one en gaged in student work. One of the unique features of the year’s work has been an intensive trip to churches in the vicinity of Albany. During two weeks spent there 30 churches were visited and pastors called upon.for definite information regard ing conditions,— especially respecting the young women in those churches. While the lack of young women is evident in the rural communities still there are a certain number in each church. The need is for vision and leadership in organizing them. The value of this form of work is appar ent from the results already evident from this trip. The problem is to express this desire to serve on the part of these young women through permanent, intelligent organ( izations. ' While the year has brought out these facts and many more impossible to relate, and while we rejoice over work accomplished, we seek greater things for the Master’s Kingdom. W e must train workers, develop a willingness to try new methods, give a vision of the necessity for real,effort in all we do, and reach out in steady advance,— financially, prayerfully, spiritually— that we may build more firmly and bring Christ to those who have not even yet heard. As we look ahead we express our desire m the words of John Oxenham: Lord God, we pray Thee, Be in our upbuilding! Here now we dedicate these new days to inee, Let all our work be Fragrant with Thy charity, With Thee our sure foundation, Our hope and inspiration In holiest consecration Build we to Thee F r a n c e s D avis.

BABY ROLL REPORT, 1918-1919. During the year just closed, the Secretary of the Baby Roll has had the pleasure of receiving into its membership 461 children, and has sent to the Treasurer of the Woman’s Board $552.30. These figures as against 286 members and $251.25 in 1918, surely give us cause for rejoicing— but a still keener satisfaction comes from the fact that this year has seen the Baby Roll extend its membership from ocean to ocean, and for the first time the Classis of the Cascades is represented on our Books. Lists of names from Lynden, Oak Harbor and Yakima; Washington, have been received; these being three of the four societies reported in the Classis in 1918. A good proportion for the Baby Roll. Washington, S. Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York all have their Baby Roll members now. Perhaps the largest lists of names have come from Iowa where a number of loyal women are giving much time and prayer to this work. There have been reported over 30 Baby Roll Secretaries in as many different Churches; and although this organized effort is most encouraging, how many Societies there must be who have not appointed such a Secretary, when we reflect on the proportion 30 bears to the number of Women’s Missionary Societies in our denomination. There is still much in formation needed in many quarters before the Baby Roll reaches the attention of every mother of our Reformed .Church. In a few Societies, the plan of having a Baby Roll meeting once a year has been inaugurated, following the example of one New York Society which has done • this for many years. Requests for literature and informa tion for these meetings have come to the Secretary who would here like to record the great need for more literature regarding this work. The leaflets in hand are fine, but a variety is called for, and some up-to-date account of the

Home in Amoy, China, cared for by our American babies, would be hailed with satisfaction by all Baby Roll Secre taries. It is with very keen regret that the present Secretary lays down the work at this time. It has grown more and more interesting, and the personal correspondence with so many earnest women throughout the Church has been a source of joy and fellowship which cannot be measured. In passing over the work to another, there will continue to be many prayers offered for its growth and develop ment. There are few things more encouraging than work with children for children, and our reward is sure— for “A little heart that loves Jesus is certain to grow Till it takes the wide world in its loving embrace.” M
