PRESIDING ELDERS' REPORTS.

~--BAREILL Y DISTRICT.

REV. J. C. BUTCHER, Presiding Elder. The Bareilly district this year reports twelve circuits in place

of the ten of last year. Khudagani circuit was transferred from the Pilibhit district at the last conference, and later on the northern end of the Tilhar circuit was added to it and the Miranpur Katra circuit formed. Last year two circuits were cut off from the old Bareilly circuit and this year still~~another, the Saddar Bazar circuit, was formed from it. During the last twelve months there have been five hundred and sixty-nine baptisms in the district, which now reports 3,954 Christians. The Government census of 1891 gives the population of this district at 1,545,455, so that we still have only one Christian to each three hundred and ninety of the population. Our staff of workers has been nearly the same as last year and the work as a whole may be said to have been steadily progressive.

The following report of the Theological Seminiary has been submitted by the Principal Dr. T. J. Scott.

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

In the Seminary for men there are seven teachers ; students en­rolled for the year, eighty; regularly graduates eleven; graduated from partial course, eleven ; total regular graduates, two hundred and five, total gracluates from partial course, sc,-enty-scven, making a total of men passed through the school, two hundred and eighty-two.

In the woman's department there were five teachers, there were enrolled forty-eight women, of whom eleven passed out. Total women trained with their husbands, one hundred and eighty-nine, with sixty­one men tr ained in the Normal department. We thus have turned out from this institution a trained force of five hundred and twenty-one native mission workers. As a very brief report of this Seminary, so important in the great work going on in North India, we may present a few state­ments from observers. Anyone who may see these lines and desire further information should write for our full annual repo'tt.

The Editor of " The Star ~f India," a Hindustani weekly paper for North India, writes : " Our Theological school at Bareilly is doing an excellent and most important work. Noone is able to measure the effects of this work. Those wholmve been trained there~are moving about from eity to city and froID village to villnge,brillging souls to Christ, and are instructing and c8tablishing them ill his doctrine. If this

2 PRESIDING ELDERS' REPORTS.

Theological school were not in existe11ce, our poor Christians would never receive such good, SOlIDd doctrine as they now get. When these ~ people come to us from other religions, they almost certainly bring with them something of their old .belief and customs, and if our preachers, who are the teachers of the Christian religion, are not salIDd in doctrine, soon evil teaching and noxious error will spread in the church. But when so many men are turned out from our Theological school who have been well trained for three years in sound Christian doctrine, a wall is raised up against the intrusion of OlTor into the church. This school is a .safe-guard to the d<?ctrines· of ~e church and is a means of thoroughly indoctrinating our 'people. l\Iay God greatly increase this schooL" A missionary visitor, after a two days study of our institution, wrote of its aim and opportunity as " a situation second to llone ill the evangelization of this empire. Bareilly is an Aldershot, a Portsmouth, a West Point, a Northfield. The pick of ;our converts ought to be· sent to it/' Dr. F. F. Ellinwood, Secretary of the Presbyterian board of mission, writing on the place of education in missionary work, says: "A friend who had visited India said to me that of all the higher institutions that he had seen, and he had visited many, the one belonging to the Methodist Episcopal Mission at Bareilly seemed to him best adopted to meet the widespread wants of a mission." Now will our friends in America speedily come forward and complete the remaining endowment so much needed? We require at least $4:0,000 still to put us in the best working order.

The report of the circuits is as follows :-Bareilly.-In charge of J. C. Butcher and G. H. Fray. Brother

Fray, the nath"e pastor, reports se,en hundred Christians living in thirty-five villages and mohallas, of these ninety-six have been baptised during the past year. The circuit is not strongly manned by paid workers, but the students of the Theological Seminary do a great deal of valuable work. The Girls' Orphanage has again passed into the charge of Miss English, who returned from America and allowed Miss Kyle to go on leave. Miss English had an attack of typhoid feyer about the middle of the year, but her assistants hale kept things nmning nicely. Dr. McGregor came out this year and has been helping Dr. Bryan in the woman's hospital as well as caring for two sick missionaries. The Boys' Middle Anglo-Venlacular school has reached an enrollment of two hundred and two, of whom fifty-one are Christians. The fees realized have also been large, now amounting to mpees ninety per mensem. During the year about mpees nine hundred have beon realized from fees, and this added to the Government grant-in-aid almost pays the expenses of the school. It is particularly gratifying to note that the village Christian.boys who have been brought into our boarding house are making splendid progress. We sadly need quarters fur the boarding establishment a.nd also increased accommodation for the day school.

Badr Bazar Circuit. This is a new one cut off from Bareilly this year, and in charge of Joseph Wahid-ud-Din. He reports onchmidred and sixty-eight Christians, living in thirty-two villages, of whom thirty have received baptism this year. We have a good primary school with seventy-six boys on the roll in the 8adr Bazar chapel, and a good work is being done in the neighbourill~ villages..

B,JREILLY DISTRIOT.

- } arid pur, in charge of A. Sweet, reports five hundred Rndnineteen Christians in seventy villages, and fifty-six baptisms' this year.

Khera Ba}he'l'a, in charge of Fazl Ullah, has one hundred and twenty-three Christians in twenty-one villages. There were twenty' baptisms this year. There is a good school in Khera Bajhera, supported by an endowment given by General Gowan as a memorial and thank­offering for the kindness shown by the villagers in saving his life during the mutiny. It is worthy of note that this year General Gowan l,las passed to his reward. He was a good, pious man, and helpful to our work.

M,'ranpur Katra, in charge of R. Tumer, is a new circuit, with two hundred and seventy-one Christians in ,fifty' villages. Eighty were­baptized this year.

Pilltar, in charge of C. S. Paul, has three hundred and thirty-six Christians in fifty-one villages. It had fifty-two baptisms this year. The territory of this circuit has been reduced to make the Miranpur Katra circuit.

Jalallaba.d, in charge of H. K. List, has three hundred and seventy­two Christians lh-ing in sixty villages. Fifty-seven baptisms are reported for thi:'l year. Cholera was prevalent in this neighbourhood for several months, and a number of our Christian people died of it.

Pawayan, in charge of Bihari Lal, has two hundred and ninety­fixe Christians in sCY(lnty-three villages. Forty-nine were baptized this ye~r. It is worthy of noll' that the little Epworth League contributed rupe(l~ five, in addition to the regular missionary collection; to the Epworth League supplementary missionary collection.

Sha7~iahanpur, in charge of N. L. Rockey and S. B. Finch. Brother Roekey has been largely occupied with the correspondence. n'g-ardillg' the special donations to Bishop Thoburn's emergency fund. Still he has remained nt his post ancI maintained general supenision oyer the work, while Brother Finch has attended to the details. They report two hundred and eighty-six Christians liying in twenty villages, mid forty-five baptisms this year. The Boys' ~Iicldle Anglo-Vernacular schnol distinguished Hself by passing eight out of nine candidates for the departmental middle examination, thus taking the first place in the proyince~. The Girls' Boarding' school continues to flouri~h under the careful management of Miss Heafer.

Sha7~iahanpu,.,. Easi, in charge of J. Blackstock and B. S. Philip, has tlm.'e hundred and fifty Christians in eight ,,"i1lages, and twenty-five haptisms are reported. The centre of this circuit is the Boys' Orphanage, which continues to flouri;:;h under the efficient snpel'yision of Brother Blackstock, assisted l,y Brot.her P. Solomon, who has for many years devoted himself especially to the industrial department, which now contains about one-third of the one hundred and fifty boys in the institution. The industrial department :finds u ready sale for its prodncts. Indeed it usually has orders enough on hand to keep all elllployed. The school department has a g'\)0c1 staff of Christian teachers and all who show sufficient abilit.v and inclination are encouraged to persevere in th\., literary ('nurse. 'The older pupils :11sl) accompany their teachers to the neighbouring VillU.~t'S, where tlH'Y hoM Sunday-sehools and tt'nch tht' people regarding; Christian truth.

4 PRE8IDIN& ELDERS' RBPORTS.

Pa~akpu", in charge of H. J. Adams, has three hundred and ninety­four Christians in eleven villages. Eighteen baptisms are reported this year. Panahpur is our Christian village. We held a mela Camp meeting there in March, which was attended with many evidences of the Spirit's presence and power. Another Thakur was· baptised and has endured the usual amount of persecution that high-caste conv.erts are caned upon to pass through.

Manamdi, in charge of C. Hancock, has one hundred and forty Christians in twenty-fiv~ villages. Fifty-one were baptized this year. This has been a hal'd coeld, but the times of refreshing seem to be coming and the work was never so promising as now.

BUDAON DISTRICT.

REV'. J. B. THOMAS, Presiding Elder. The Budaon district was formed at the last session of our Annual

conference, by cutting off a part of the Moradabad district. The won­derful growth of the work and the prospect of still greater things in the future in this region was considered sufficient reason for the form­ation of a new district. The district as it now stands includes almost all of the Budaon zillah and a large section of country belonging to the Bareilly zillah, which is separated from the rest of the zillah by the Ram Ganga river. The district contains a territory of nearly 2,000 square miles and has a population of more than 900,000 people.

CIRCUITS.

This territory is divided into eight circuits, viz., Budaon, Binawar, Aonla, Kakrala, Bisauli, Bilsi, Ujhani and Dataganj. We hope at the beginning of next year to create two more circuits, one with its center at Sahaswan and the ·other at Bhamora. Each of tllese cir­cuits is in charge of a native ordained preacher, who looks after all the temporal and spiritual needs of the work in his respective field. By this system of dividing the country up into small circuits every vil­lage and town j:;: reached, and there are but few people who do not have an opportullit"f of hearing the gospel some time during the year.

EYA~GELISTIC WORK.

In this land there are many demands made upon the time of missionaries and all mission workers, but we try not to forget that our first and most important duty is to carry the gospel to the heathen. Special efforts are being made to get a footing among a class of people called the Chamars, and some very hopeful and en­couraging results have been reported. In this district :alone there are 140,000 of these people, and when once the strong barriers which hinder our approach are burned away, our converts from this class will be count­ed by hundreds, whereas we have counted them by tens, and the indi­cations are that the time is near at hand. Some very interesting baptisms have occurred among the Thakurs and Brahmans in the Bissauli circuit, through the earnest labors of Rev. B. F. Cocker. It was a beautiful sight recently, to see two fine Thakur men, whose hair

BUDAON DISTRIOT.

was quite white and who had only a few months ago received the Lord Jeslls, and a Brahman, who had that day been baptized for the remis­sion of sins, all sit down together in the missionary's house to partake of the same repast. It made Olle think of that time which is fast com­ing when all of the different seots and peoples of this great land will be united in Jesus Christ, and all sit down together to partake of the com­mon table of our Lord. Weare planning a vigorous evangelistic campaign for the coming cold season. We hope to begin it about the middle of October.

OUR CHRISTIAN COlUIUNITY,

Mission work was begun~in Budaon in 1859. At that time there were probably not more than twelve or fifteen native Christians in the entire zillah, and these had wandered· in from the little band at Bareilly. Shortly after that, one of the early missionaries living in Budaon, prayed that he might live to see the time when there would be one hundred native Christians in Budaon zillah. To-day we have 8,000 native Christians in the district, and that missionary, who is still in India, will probably see double that number before he dies. These Christians live in more than three hundred towns and villages, and we will 'neyer know fully what influence their liyes and works as followers of the lowly N azarine are having upon the heathen rOlUld about them, until the deeds of all men shall be made known at the last day. Our Ohristians are making progress in spiritual life. No traces of the idolatrous practices, which once existed among them, can now be found, and many of them worship God in sl)irit and ·.in truth. In Budaon city, quite a revival is going on among our mohalla Ohristians. OUI' church eyer}' Sabbath is crowded and we are beginning to wonder what we will do for room whcn all our people arc awakened on the sub­ject of attending the Lord's house on the Sabbath day.

SCHOOL WORK.

The school work is one of the most important as well as the most difficult features of our work. \Ve have one hundred and fifteen small schools for our Ohristians in the \"illages, and two hU'gc boarding 8c]10018 in Budaoll. In the village schools 2,500 boys and girls are learning to read, and in the boarding schools one hundred and ten boys and ninety girls are being taught and trained for Ohristian sen"ice. In accordance with the provisions of the last Oentral conference, tht'se 8choo1s are examined, at least once a quartor, by a qualified exami­ner appointed for that purpose, and the impro\"ement which has already resulted from thi~ plan is quite noticeable. The work done in the boarding schools has been very satisfactory. The boys and girls haye not only done well in their studies, but they have been yery faithful in performing the \"arious duties connected with Ohristian work which haye been rcquired of them. 1\iiss \Vilson descl'Yes great credit for the hard work which she has done ill the girls' school. Re\". Fergnson (llatiyc) has also given valuable assistance in the managemcBt of thl' hoys' school, in connection with his other dll-ties u:-:: lla~t()1' uJ' Lhe Hudnull church.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.

In Hudaon we have au active Epworth League with one hundred members. The bands of Ready Workers do valuable service in the way of distri,buting tracts, holding Sunday schools in the city, etc. Eac~. of the out :circuits also has a good league, which is a· vahiable auxiliary to the preacher in charge ill his wqrk.

001\1])A DISTRICT.

REY. WH. PETERS, Presiding Elder (Hindustani.)

Gonda district, which in the beginning of the year, was separated from the Oudh district, is situated on the left bank of the Gogra river. Though it has, been newly created, yet there are openings for the work, and short reports will be given separately. The district has been divided into six circuits, and I have visited the big stations, sometimes twice and thrice, and have worked with the brethren. This is a very large field, and as the railway system has not been extended to every place, I had to travel nearly sixty miles on foot ~to visit a station, to see the work

'there; and during a tour of Olle and a half months, I travelled two hundred and seventy three miles ill this manner, to see the work in different villages, and also to open new work. Though COllverts have been few 'this year, yet some three hundred and seventy-four persons, young and old, were baptized, and special attention has been paid to the religi­ous intructions of the old converts. Reviyal meetings have been held for the strengthening of their faith and the salvation of their souls. In nearly all the stations, the greater portion of inquirers come from all classes of the people, and our work is carried on among all the people, from the highest caste to the la-west. This year a new and beautiful chapel has been built at Rupaidih6, which is situated on the frontier of Nepal, and of which mention was made in last'year's report. Through the kindness of a forest officer we got some timber for this chapel, and the people of that place gave "Valnable help. A chapel was very neces­sary for our poo(Christians lh-illg on the frontier of Nepal, and this supplies the want. A small Butler chapel has beeH built in llahraich, in which about eighty-five Christian assemble every Sunday for worship. The openings in every place are very promising, but workers are re­quired. Weare training some, and in the future we hope that the people of this place will win these districts for Christ. The reports of the stations are annexed separately.

Gonda.-Supplied by Rey. J. Solomon, native miuister. "The Lord be praised, for gh-illg special preparation to his workers this year. Forty-six persons have been baptized, and our effort has been that these new converts should receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Therefore many revival meetings have 'been held, ill which Miss Rowe gave us much help, and thirty-five persons , received the Holy Spirit. We have twelve SWlday-schools, in which more than three hundred children receive illstmction, aHd Rs. 15 has been collected from these children. There are forty-ollC ,rmages in thi::; circuit in which the work of Ohrist is carried on, and. in (·ighteen of these there are seventy Christians and many iuqu!rers. The Epworth Leaguers give much help in the work

carried on in the wards of the city and in villages. The school work is carried on with great satisfaction, and religious instruction is imparted. The church this year has contributed Rs. 60 to the pastor fund, and all the workers arc doing their work faithfully."

Bahraich.-Supplied by L. J. McGee, local deacon. "Accom­panied with helpers, I have carried on the work in eighty-four villages, and especially in seven wards of the city where Christians and inquirers arc located. Twenty-three persons have been baptized, and I have been striving to make old and new con verts strong in their Christian faith. They attend onr services and contribute towards the pastor fund, and according to their ability are always ready to give help in Christian work. I also give instructions to the boys and girls three hours every day in religious matters, and conduct four Sunday-schools. There is a day school with ninety-eight boys attending. In the villages in which I work there are a large number :)f inquirers, and we. hope that in the immediate future they will accept Christ."

Kaisa1·gange.-Baldeo Pershad is in charge of this place. This year in this station seven pCl':'Ions from the chamaI' class received baptism, and it i;:; hoped many more will be converted and urought to Christ. There are now sixteen Christian families living here. Open­ings for the work are very hopeful.

Rupaidika.-In this place Prem Dass is the preacher. Thirty­seven persons received uaptisll1 thi:-; year. "T e have good gathering of Christians neal' the Nepal frontier, and the church here is getting stron,L',\~r day by day. :\Iany of the Christians of this place liYe withiu the Nepalese territory. According to their abilities, they give grain and mOlley for the pa:-;tl)r. Xcarly Us. 9 was given this year. Two revival meetings were held during this year, and thirty-six perSOllS receiv­ed the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The work is very promi3ing and day hy day assumes a more interesting :character. The non-Christian land lords of this place say that •. if Prem Dass convert:" people at this rate, within a period of two or three years therc will bc a big colouy of Christians." The work of Prcm Dass extends to ont' hundred and forty-fom villages, and he reaches them by travelling 011 foot.

Babagange a7id Nanpam.-In these places also there are good openings fur the work. ~illce the commcncement of this year a preacher from the Theological Seminary. has beun appoillt€d to these places and we arc sme ,,'e will get some fruit of our labour very soon.

Bhinga.-J. F. Samuel, native minister. In eonnection with this station, work is carried on in nine towns and villages where Christians live.

Birpur, Fatlmapu1', Niba?'ia.-There an' sC'ycnty Christians li\~illg in these villages. The work wa~ opened here hyo years ago. There is a school in which twenty-five children recein~ their ('ciucatiou, and these children are the sons of Christians and of inquir('l"s from the Kori class. There are two schools in 13hing'll, one of which is specially carried on among the low da:'5s, in which forty-one inquirers are under instruction, and the other is for childn~n of all ca:"ks. Tht' work is very promising.

11cau,1l,a and Pa1'asia.-Ht're the olwllings are also promising. There is also a preacher located in Khal'gupur. There are lllnuy Christ-

ian families to be found there, and many others are inclined towards the religion of Christ, and we hope that very soon many of the inquirers, strong in their faith, will be baptized.

Mankapur.-Samuel 'Vheeler, native minister. In connection with this circuit there are foul' towns and thirteen villages, as Ellenpul', Sadhullagar, Machhligaun, N awabgange, and other villages. The work has spread to Basti and Bansi. The preacher in charge made a tour to places very far, and found inquirers among the relations of Christians, and often many of them have become converts. Many boys and girls have been sent to boarding schools. Brother Biddha Singh, has labored hard and zealously for the salvation of souls. The work has been pro­gressing yery nicely and helpers are required.

Nawabga".qe.-Here some old Christians who had gone astray from the right path are beginning to return again, and we are in hopes that the work there will be carried on more zealously.

Balt·ampur.-Bihari Lall, nati,e minister. This circuit comprises st.'ven towns and villages-Pachperwa, Tulsipur, Chandanpur, Bhusa­har, Bhagwanpur, 1\-Iaharajgange and :3Iahade,a. Except Tulsipur and l\Iahamjgange, which are new stations, all have Christians in them, and there are many villages besides in which Christians live. I made a tour towards Chandanpur, where the Tharus received baptism. These people are ,ery simple, and are not ashamed of the name of Christ. As far as they can understand, they are firm ill their faith. They 10,e Christiall3 and have no ill feelings towards them, but they are very timid, and require more teaching. From among them a man has been appointed to carryon the work, and he has proved a very good worker. By his means, new works will be opened. We are in hopes that very soon there will be a'strong, self-supporting church here, and thousands among them will join Christ's flock. There are many in­quirers in this circuit who are under instruction.

Oolonelgange.-J. S. Samuel, local deacon. The work here i::; car­ried on among all classes of p~()ple. Up to this time thirteen persons ha,'e been baptized, and the total llumber of Christians is one hundred and forty.. The work is promising. There is an aided school in whieh forty-five children are uuder instrnction, and Sunday school work is also carried on in corfnection with it.

KU~L\.ON DISTRICT.

REV. J. T. :\fc:\IAHox, Presiding Elder. The nine circuits of this district, lying in the lower range of the

Himalayas, and on the north-east reaching to the snows in the upper range, are from one to twelve days march from the railway. From

Except at .x aini Tal, the workers are isolated and suffer from lack of contact with the outside world, sometimes thinking their t,ypc of Christianity is

superior to that of a neighbouring circuit. During the year I have spent one hundred and fifty-one days visiting the eight circuits outside I of Dwarahat, leaving two hundred and fourteen days for work in my own circuit. I am under obligations to the men and women (and to children, too,) who have wrought with me the past year, and extend to them my sin~ere thanks.

Bhot Oircuit.-Rev. Hurkua Wilson, native minister and physician; Benjamin Marqus, local deacon; four Christian boys. Mr. Wm. E.! Blackstone, missionary evangelist, had ~iven towards the support of this work Rs. 535, and has sent Rs. 11 , contributed by Mr. H. O. Sangerson. The Bhotiyas live in the upper ranges of the Himalayas, at an elevation of 9,000 to 12,000 feet. Sometimes the last village this side the snow, near the Pass, is a Thibetan one. The Bhotiyas carr on trade with Thibet on the north nd India on teo The converSIOn 0 these peop e wi carry· e g,os;Ji iuto -~e.i- Pi. house costing Rs. 600 has been built at Dharchula, were Dr. ilson makes his head-quarters during the winter. The house has four rooms, and a hall capable of holding two hundred persons for a religious service on the Sabbath. During the week it is used for a medical dispensary. Dr. Wilson treats above six thousand patients yearly. Brother Marqus, at the foot of Bhot, near Dhal'chula, has baptized a family of eight persons. The year has been a hard one for Brother Wilson in this new field (the work was op~d..inJ89ro. Time will remove the fear and superstition of the Bhotiya peopfe. U nti! then the preachers must work and pray. Miss Budden, of the W. F. M. S., has begun to build a D~coness pOIlle at Dharchula.

Dwarahat.-Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Mcl\{ahon, missionaries; Pandit Gouri Datt, local deacon ; Babu John Abraham, native doctor ; three W. F. }L S. teachers, four Bible-women, and five Hindustanipreach­ers. Mrs. Mcllahon with two Christian women and several boys and girls, went with me to the outstations of Masi and Ganai, where we held special services and used the magic lantern. I visited the other two outstations-Lobha and Bagwati-with the Hindustani preachers. I have visited the four outstations twice each during the year. The poor people are coming to us. A partial famine in the northwest of the circuit has brought in twenty-two boys. and girls for whom food and clothing must be found. Five Sunday schools, an Epworth Ll'ague, a dispellsary where over six thousand patients have been treated, and eighty-three members and probationers make up our church.

Kaintw.-Rev. S. Lawrence, native minister; three native preachers, one teacher, and four W. F. :M. S. Bible-women. A famine in this circuit has made it hard for the Christians, but it has sent some children to lvIr. Lawrence, and a few to Dwarahat. The collection columns of the statistics are all empty owing to the famine. Twenty­five baptisms, seventy-five Christians, one hundred and twelve day scholars, and one hundred and eighty-five Sabbath school scholars are encouraging items in this circuit.

Lansdowne.-Rev. F. W. Greenwold, nati've minister; ReT. J. W. Todd, local deacon; four Hindustani preachers, three_ teachers, and three Bible-women. Mr. Greenwold writes: "This circuit is

10 PRESIDING ELDERS' REPORTS.

a very large one, and the twelve workers are not enough to teach 'So many people. Except in Lansdowne itself there is but little hope of immediate results. The people are calling for . schools, and many parents wish me to take and educate their children as Christians, but I can get no funds for this work." If Mr. Greenwold could have Rs. 600 a year for ten years to educate Christian boys and girls, there would come from them a company of workers equal to the demand.

Naim' Tal (English Church.)-Rev. H. O. Stuntz, Mrs. H. C. -Stuntz, Rev. J. H. Messmore, Editor "Indian 'Vitness;" Misses Easton, Sellers, and Butcher, W. F. 1\1. S. The pastor of the English church, Mr. Stuntz, writes: " The year has been less fruitful than the former three years, as the pastor has been burdened. with the exacting cares of the Boys' High School in addition to pastoral work. Illnessin the early and most fruitful part of the season also .hindered visitation and that. personal contact upon which so much depends in such a summer resort." Mr. Stlmtz is also the principal of the Boys' High School, Oak Openings, and writes: "The 'new departure,' securing Wesleyan Methodist teachers from England, has justified itself by·results. Tuitional work has been thorough, poor teachers have resigned, and trained men have taken their places. The deaconess (raised up in India) in charge of the small boys is an accession spiritually as well as tuition ally. A real, though quiet spiritual influence has been present all the year. We hale a, good class of boys, and ar~ dbillg work for Ohrist in India in giving these boys a Ohristian education. If the school debt (Rs. 78,000) were paid it would enter upon a career of great usefulness."

Miss Easton is the energetic, wide awake superintendent of the Girls' Wellesley High School. There i:, no debt upon tIllS insti­tution. One hundred girls and young women are in attendance-all the pupils the buildings will accommodate. A new building to cost Rs. 20,000, is now going up and will be ready for use by next year.

Bro. Messmore, though lhing in, Oalcutta, is a member of the North India Conference, and of the N ailli .Tal quarterly conference, and by official appointment editor of the Indian lVitnes8, the eastern Advocate of the Methodist Episcopal Ohurch in Asia. Huut and Eaton should be the the agents for this weekly A dvocate- Witness. Bro. Messmore is a good writer and editor. The next General couference would do well to adopt the indian Witness. This weekly paper in Eng­lish gives the English Methodists religious reading and instructiou in harmony with the doctrines of the church. I t also helps to form pub­lic opinion upon social reforms in India.

Naini Tal (HindustanL)-Rev. J. W. Waugh, missionary; Mrs. J. W. Waugh; lIrs. J. H. Messmore, W. F. M. S.; Miss McMullen, assisstant; six Bible-women and teachers; Revs. PatruB and John Barker, native minister, and six native preachers. The Christian community numbers three hundred and forty; of the two hWldred and thirty children in four day schools, thirty are girls in the boarding school. The Sunda-y schools have two hundred and fifty pupils. The church pays the pastor Rs. 5 monthly. The collections are all taken and are good. Dr. Waugh writes: "Mission work in the N aini Tal and Bhabar circuits has been carried on more or less efficiently for thirty-five years. The field is a difficult one, as the higher class of natives claiIll

to be of more exclusive castes, and are haughty and difficult of approach; the migratory character of the majority of the people, spending as they do a few months in the mountains and the rest of the year in the plains, render the field a hard one. And yet the success of the .past year, and also the year 1893, has been such as a few years ago would have been hailed as an encouraging adYallce. Ninty-olle baptisms during the year under review, while very few in comparison with the numbers we are baptizing in some circuits on the teeming plains, is the largest number. ever returned dm'ing anyone year in this part of these great mountain ranges. The boys' school, N aini Tal, has had another year of earnest work and real success. The number on the rolls has increased, and the work done has been excellent. The middle class examination in April last was very stiff, yet a fair number of our students passed. The Anglo­Vernacular school at Haldwani has also done well, and during the winter months becomes very large aud important, as large numbers of boys go down from the hilL:- to study there. These schools, with the girls' schools ill both places, are the fouudation, if not the cause, of our success in Sunday school work. The Kaini Tal Sunday school, at times num­bering over two hundred attendants, with the teachers and pupils of the boys' and girb' day sl·hools, has been pronounced a model one. The Roman Oatholics have just developed a new and ill-disguised zeal. They ha.ve begun to work upon the loose, unsatisfactory material dismissed from the mis5ioll. They offer all these discarded ones benefits of all sorts-teacherships, bits of land, and-even food and houses, if they will join them, form a community, and bring others from the mission fold. They do not attempt to work among the heathell~ but try all their arts to lead away the weak among our Christian community. The year closes with a bright outlook, except with the above reference. The Lord of Host:;; i~ with the church ill India." Dr. ,\,.. augh has paid off the debt of Rs. O,500 upon the school house. The society gave Rs. 3,500, and the Doctor saved or begged the balance, Rs. 3,000. There is no debt now ill this Hindustani circuit. This circuit leads the district in the number of baptisms.

Paw'i.-Rev . . 1. H. Gill, missionary; 1\I1's. Gill, assistant mis­sionary; 'V. F. M. b.: two lady a:,,,istants, twenty-one Bible-readers and tea<:hers; Rev. David, A. Chowfin and Rev. Edward Thomson, natin~ ministers, and twelve native preachers. Bro. Gill, writes: "The Oentral Boyi School at Pauri hn.'3 had another successful examination, passing eight buys in the English middle standard. The attendance is about two hundred. In connection with this school there is an excel­lent Sunday school. The Epworth League meetings continue to do good and they are held regularly. Outsiders from the Pami villages frequently attend anI' Sabbath seryicl':3. 1\fany books and tracts have been distributed during the year, as well as testaments and parts of the gospels. Visits have been made to the outstations and beyond, preach­ing the gospel and spreading God's word where it had not been before. Visits were made to all the Ohristians. District Oonference was held in the rainy season, in August, because we were then fayored with a visit from Dr. and Mrs. Parker.' Their stay with us was a great blessing and the re­ligious services at District Oonference, where scycral . professed to be converted, were very successful and full of the power of God, largely

owing to the earnest exhortations and ministrations of Dr. Parker. A large number of Christian children, boys and girl~, are found in this circuit. Their Christian training and development in character are the chief hope of this work. A number of students were sent to Lucknow Christian College and the Bareilly Theological Seminary, whom we ex­pect to return with blessing to us. Srinagar, with our property there, has been swept away by the bursting of Gohna Lake. Water to the height of forty-two feet submerged the town and swept away our mission premises. A new site will be selected. There is still much ground uncultivated. The evangelists, whom we hope to locate among the heathen, cannot rent houses to live in. They must provide their own dwellings, whether temporary or permanent. Pauri is the only centre from which this work can be properly and successfully. carried on. In the wide extent of the mission worlt in India there is no more hopeful or important field than Garhwal.

Pithoragarh.-Rey. Shib Datt, native minister; eleven native preachers; W. F. M. S.: Misses Budden and Reed, and four assistants and twenty-two native workers. Rev. Shib Datt writes: "Great care has been taken in training the community. Two revival meetings were held at Pithoragarh, where many sinners were regenerated. A third meeting at Chandag-the leper asylum-brought in nearly all the lepers. There are five outstations where the harvest seems ripe and the time to reap has come. Forty-seven baptisms are the first fnlits for this year. There are boarding schools for boys and for girls, a widows' home, a leper asylum, a. dispensary, village schools and a flourishing Epworth League. The leaguers preach the Gospel and distribute tracts in~the yillages once in two weeks or once a week as they have opportunity.

Srinagar.-Rev. S. Mansell, native minister; three Bible-wo­men, and three native preachers. If the reader will look over the report of the Pauri circuit, he will find a short account of the flood which car­ried away the town of Srinagar on the 26th of August. I need only acld that this Gohna Lake was fonned by a large land slip during the rains of 1893. One side of a mountain, for a distance of three fourths of a mile, fell and filled a llarrow valley over six hundred feet in depth. This great dam held the accumulating waters until the lake was oyer four miles in length. One hundred and fifty feet of earth first washed away, and in two or three hours another one hundred and fifty feet went. This great flood swept away e,-ery house in the yalley for O\-er one hundred miles. No life was lost, as the Goyernment had told the people to leaye their homes and go up in the monntains. The loss to the Mission was about Rs. 4,000. !{r. )Iansell writes: "I staid and worked until April at Srinagar, preaching, teaching, holding Sunday schools and teaching the Bible to two or three young men at their homes. During April, I made a journey up north and again in October. The result of these trips was four baptisms. Since May, I have lived at Pauri, teaching in the boys' school but going every Saturday to S"inagar to preach and hold Sun­day schools on the Sabbath." Mr. Gill also says of Mr. Mansell that he did even more than here indicated, for he visited at his request several of the outstations on necessary occasions.

MORAJ)ABAD DISTRIOT. 13

MORADABAD DISTRICT.

REV. S. KNOWLES, Presiding Elder. At the beginning of the year eight circuits were cut off from this

district to form the Budaon district, hence this will account for the decrease in the statistical tables presented with this report. In writing a brief aecount of our work we are led to make a comparison between the condition of our work iu this district thirty-four years ago and the pre­sent time. Then there was only one native he}pei', now three hundred and seyen ; then llO probationers and only one member, now we have 8,924 of both; then no churches, now twelve yalued at Rs. 57,830 ; then we had no mission house, now parsonages valued at Rs. 34,830; then no Sabbath sehools, now t,,·o hundred and twenty-five with 5,273 scholars and teachers ; then no day school, now two hundred and eighty­nine, among them a large TIoys' Boarding school, also one for girls, and besides Hindus and Mllsalnwlls there are in this large number of sehools 4,243 Christian pupil:".

At the close of our last cold S(~aSOll in l\{arch, I made a tour of the whole distrid, holding quarterly conferences in each of our fifteen circuits, and special :'t'l'Yic('s in mc)st of them for the instruction and building up of our HE'W cOll\Terts. III many places I was very . much en­couraged to find growth in knowledge and spirituality among these new con\""ert~. I found tlH'lll learning to appreciate the Sabbath day, the privilege of regularly attending the means of grace, and to separate themseln's from all idolatrous practices at the birth of children, marriages and times of sicklH.':Si'i and death.

Bijnow'.-S. S. Densl', ~1. n., is in charge, who reports as follows :-" TIijnour l:ircuit compris('s n ,~ery small portion of Bijnour district. I t includes the city aHd three out-statioll:'.

Sunday schools do not materially help, as few of the higher caste boys attend them. The :'L'hnol for Christian boys is necessarily small, as the fmlds are limited. A number of the brighter students have been sent to complete their studius ill the High school at Moradabad.

14 PRESlDING ELDERS' .REPORTS.

. Ohandat4si.-ZaluU'-ul-Haqq is preacher in charge, and has eI~h~ell workers, This place continues a very productive field for mlSsIOnary labom'. '

Kantk.-This circuit is supplied by Charles S. Hunter. The work has had a fair degree of success this year. It is a good field and if rightly worked will yield a rich harvest. The working force is at present weak.

Kundarlci.-There is in this circuit a population of 70,000. The work this year is under \V. B. Mitchell, who reports a prosperous year. There have been two hundred and sixty-six baptisms.

Moradabad.-L. A. Core, preacher in charge, with. D. M. Butler as pastDr and manager of the Boys' Boarding House. The year has been oue of marked prosperity. The work has been carefully looked after. The villages have been visited and much time has been spent in the mohalla work. The number of baptisms is not so great as last year owing to two causes. First, Rampur has been l'ut off, and second, the sweeper class, from whom most of om' baptisms so far have come, are nearly all Christianized. S( l now we are trying to make a break among the Chamars, next above the sweepers. who in point of numbers exceed allY other caste in the district. Thus far a few openings into their ranks have been made ..

In the Goucher Boys' Boanling Honse there are one hundred and thirty boarders, ranging from ten to twellty years of age. Of the~e the older boys are organized into "Ready 'Yorkers" bands und go into TIllages and mohallas once or byice a week for Christian work. There have been not a few cases of genuine conY~rsions among the boarders. In the High school under L. E. Hampton, head master, the results have been good, all excellt in one cl~ss. The ~Iidille class results were unusually good. Of the thi1'teL'n boys who passed the examination, four were Christians. There are in the High ~dlOOl, all classes, a little less than three hundred boys. The woman's ,york, under 1\11':';. Core, has had careful attention. The Girls' High School under Miss Kemper has continued tD do excellent work. The Epworth Leagues are all in fine working order . No better means of educating and train i llg' young Christian workers could be devised. The League work in India has only just bef,ruJl its career of usefullH.:';;s.

Tha7curdwara.-Balo Dass, preacher. This work has difficulties to contend against, unknown t(, many other circuits. N cyertheless it has not helm behind others in fruits. There is a population of over 50,000 of all castes.

Dhampur.-Fazl :Masill and his assistants have done good work during the past year. There is a promising work in this circuit among the Chamars.

Kiratpur.-Bansi DItar and his helpers have met with fair success and hope to gather in more fruit before the closing of the year.

Mandawar.-The labours of Seneca Falls and his co-workers have yielded good results during the year in this our largest nlld most important circuit. Their work still continues among the low caste Hindus.

DUDD DISTRIOT. 15 Nagina.-W. T. Speke and helpers have labored faithfully and

successfully during the year in the ir large circuit. The Epworth League, organized last year, is doing well and proving a great help to the work.

Najibabad.-B. McGregor has an important charge, and has done well and gathered in fruit dW'ing the year. -

.Nurpur.-This work under the care of Gulab Singh has fared well during the year, and promises to form one of oW' best circuits.

Sheohara.-.T abhu Lal finds this a hard circuit on account of the Musalman fanatical element; nnd yet we found a numher of well-to-do Muhammcdans who are very friendly to our cause. God has blessed the work here and greatly encoW'ago(1 .Tabhu LaI.

OUDH DISTRICT.

REY. E. 'V. PARKER, Presiding Elder, P.O., Lucknow.

The old Oudh district was divided at the last conference and all the territory on the east of the Gagra ri"n~r towards Nepal was set apart for the llew Gonda district. The ("lItire 'Work has moved forward as usua1. Note that ill tIle circuits of Oudh there are missionaries ill charge only at Luclmow and Sitapur. All others are uuder Hindustani brethren. Although the circuits are large, 'With snb-circuits, schools, Sunday schools, Epworth Leagues nnd all kinds of senil'c:3 awl financial interest, these brethren are bearing their respollsiblity well. They are tried, trained, cOllsecrated men. There fin1 under them many others being trained, ;';0 that our army of Hindustani mini:::;ters and their assistallts gives us great courage fo~ the future. OW' young people with their Epworth Leagues and their, Sunday schools form the next most encouraging feature of our work. Every circuit has its league, and Friday afternoon and evening' at every quarterly meeting is devoted to the league mcctillgS. Revie"Ws of Bible study, essay;.;;, recitations of new eOllverts, with prayer and consecration, form the programme for these gathpring'3. The Oentral League convt'ntion for India was held at LuckllOW in October of this year and has gh-en a new impetus to the work. Rev. H. O. Stuntz, our General Secretary, is the right man for the work. Note the fact that there are two hundred and thirt:--eight Sunday :,chools with 10,804 Sunday school sc.:holars in this district. 'Vhat an army of children and young people are being trained for God! Mission schools are much criticised in these days, but these criticisms do not apply at all to most of our ;o;c11001s, for oW' sdlOols are efficient evangelistic ag-encil's and a.re worked on this line. In the north and north-west of India many thousa.nds han~ been led to our Saviour during the past twenty Yl'urs by our schools. Au effort is being made to make these yet more efficient for this soul-saving work, and also more efficient in giYillg a good practical education. In all our circuits all of the regular services, Sabbu.th alld week dar, are held according to the usage of our church.

P RESIDING ELDERS'·· REPORTS.

The class meetillg and quarterly meeting, the love· fcaat, are everywhere &'ppreciated, and our ministers are not satisfied with their converts till ~hey have an eXperience and can tell it. _

Luckno'UJ 0;' cuit.-Our large centre is Lucknow, where w~ have a _ great variety of work.

The English.Ohurch.-Rev. J. W. Robinson, preacher in charge. This church has about 1,200 adherents, and an average congregation of three hundred and iifiy all the year round. The church is nearly se1£­siipporting and we hope to make it quite so. At present Brother Robinson, the' pastor, is also Co-Agent of our Publishing House, and receives a portion of his salary for that work, so tbat the society pays ~,.y-for-what it receives. The church has greatly prospered this year. -·The· Dasehra meetiIlgs, held annually in connection with this congregation, were so well attended that at times the large audience bad to be ~ken to another chm·ch. The Young People's Society, affiliated with the Epworth League, is a very successful society. There never was a more interesting company of young people connected with the church and congregation than we now have. This church is a )lelp to all our work in a great many ways. It raised for missions this year Rs. 390.

The Hz'ndustani - Ohurch.-W . A. "Mansell, missionary; :Matthew Stephen, native minister~ This church also fully supports its own pastor and pays all its - incidental expenses, and has raised tlus year Rs. 165 for missions. The Epworth League, senior and junior, in this churchJlle very successful"and efficient organizations. There is not ill all I!i.dia;--perhaps, a brighter and more intelligent company of Christian H41dustmii-,:oung people than are found in connection with this co~reg:atiop..The attendance each Sunday at this central church is from f01IT hiinilred to five huudre-d. The Epworth League central convention was 'held here, completely filling the large church, and £lling the day with most intere:::tillg discussions and work. ,This is a Methodist church, with class meetings, prayer meetings, a large Sunday school, regular and special service:3, according to old fashioned Methodism.

The Evangelistic Worlc.-P. Andrew, E. Follet, Yaqub Ali, Prem MasID, D. S. Paul, Bahadur Singh, Din Dayal, Yaqub Singh. In this large city and· circuit evangelistic work is carried on very suCcessfully. It is under the direction of Bro. W. A. Mansell, who is assisted by twelve natiye brethren. Fifty adults have been baptized during the· year. In these large cities it is very difficult to gain entrance to the different classes of people so as to save them, but we have this year secured some openings that we believe will yield fruit for future years. We could seCUl'e many cOllverts could we promise them support if turned out of their homes, and means of employment when baptized.

There are here two colleges alld two high schools, OHe each for boys and one for girls, and twenty-three other day schools, with 1,108 pupils of all grades in attendance.

Reid Christian Oollege.-W. A. Mansell, G. C. Hewes, D. L. Thoburn, H. L. Roscoe, J. C. Chatterjee, Ga~ga :Nath, Safdar Ali, Nathaniel Jordon, and eight additional teachers. We have to report a prosperous year· in many respects, the Q.ttendance being nearly the same

OUDH DISTRIOT. 1'1

as in previous years. : The number of Christian "students is small because the number of those coming up from our Mission high schools is 'correspondingly small, but as we have over fourteen thousand Christian pupils in our schools in the North India and the N orth-West India Conferences, though they are mainly in the lower departments, there is every prospect that in a few years our high schools and colleges will be crowded with Christian students. I hope to see the time when the Christian students in our schools will so far out-number the non­,Christian that their predominating influence will act as a strongly evangelistic force, and will result in many conversions to Christianity. We have great pleasure in announcing that our staff has been very materially improved by the addition of the Rev. D. 'L. Thoburn, B. A., S. T. B., who will have charge of the work in English Literature in the college. For some time we suffered great inconvenience in the high school from the lack of a suitable head master, and although we have for the present supplied the vacancy, it is still our desire to secure a young man from America who will come out to us for five years on the salary of an unmarried missionary and will remain with us in the capacity of a high school principal. He could work up our school to a high standard of efficiency by his personal attendance, teaching and attention to the details of the school management. Such a work will be truly missionary work, for the boys who would be constantly under his influence would be the most promising youth of the land, and out­side of school hours he would be in reality their spiritual leader, and the moulder of their characters. If these words meet the eye of a success­ful and accomplished teacher in America, who is willing to devote five years of his life to the work of God in India~on the same compensation which other missionaries receive, the Principal, or the Secretaries at New York will be glad to correspond with him.

The Busines8 Department.-This department under the efficient sapervision of Mr. H. L. Roscoe, has made rapid progress. The number of students at present taking courses is twelve. One has graduated, having received a diploma for high proficiency in stenography and type-writing. The outlook for the next year is very encouraging. The majority of our students thus far have been Christians, as our Christian young men seem to be more fitted to take up this work, and more ready than other to see new and promising openings. , Our Needs.-(a.) Endowment. An endowment of at least $60,000 is needed to set the college on a self-supporting basis for many years to come. This amount will provide for three European and three Indian professorships, leaving the fee income to be devoted to current expenses and additional tutors as needed. $12,000, will found a European professorship and $6,000, an Indian professorship. Smaller sums designated as intended for this purpose will be set aside and applied to the fund as directed. (0.) Scholarships. We are constantly receiv­ing calls for help from various classes, sons of native preachers, new converts and others, and are desirous of assisting them. The sum of $500 founds a perpetual scholarship. The interest of this comparatively small sum, S30, by the strictest economy supports a student. Fifty such scholarships are needed. Temporary scholarships are also most urgently needed. Anyone who cannot found a perpetual schola.rship

DEACONESS HOME, ZENANA. WORK, AND HOYE FOR. HOMELESS WOMEN.

Miss Sullivan, deaconess.Jn-charge'i Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Ward, Mrs, Ledlie, Mrs. Ogilvie, assistants. This was established to ~v~ the tempted one. from falling, to lift up the fallen who wished to be saved, and to reach and save through Christ ignorant homeless wQmen by giving them a home and a school adapted to their needs. The Superin­tendent reports:-" Our Home for Homeless 'V omen during this last year has received into its shelter nearly one hundred women of various cl~ss~s and ages. Many of them were Hindus or l\:fohammedans, knowing very little of Christianity, but they soon felt the power of the puritj~ truthfulness and love of a Christian home, and yielding to its influen¢e have asked to be baptized, and in almost every case we have seen them grow into earne:3t, true-hearted Christian women. In our little school, every day they are taught Christian hymns and the Scriptures, ~nd all who are able to learn, are taught to read and write. Each one gri~ds her ow~ wheat and cooks her own food as she pleases, and in the industrial ~~ass they are taught to sew, knit, etc. After being with us for about two years, most of them have learned enough to be given e~ploym.e~t as teachers, or to go to study nursing in some hospital, or to be marrie~, and thus become intelligent Christian wives, living useful and respec~ able lives. Our hearts have just now been cheered by the evidence that oW' work is not in vain. Two years ago, a most ignorant and friend­less wo~all. was sent to us.

After a year she became lazy and would not work, and rather than do what we asked, she left the Home and returned to her distant village and we heard of her no more for a year, when suddenly she appeared at our door, begging to be received $gain-:-said she would do any work we asked of her, that she did not ~eturn for ease or food but because she had known no rest of soul since she left us, that her heart was Christian and she could not live again among idolaters. Zenana work, in which hundred(of non-Christian and careless Christian homes are visited by witnesses for Christ, and the girls' school~ in the city for non-Christian girls, in which Sunday schools are held, and where the girls sing Christian songs and repeat scripture texts, while they learn to read, is also an interesting depart­men~ of work which can only be mentioned here.

8ilapur Oircuit.-D. C. Monroe, missionary; Chhote Lall, A. G. McArthur, G. Mayal, C. C. Chatterji, K. Silas, J. Dysell, Ram Snkh, with seven Christian teachers and exhorters. Zena1la work.­Miss Downey, missionary; Miss D'Torse, and Miss Jewett. Boarding school.-Mrs. Monroe, Miss Lambert, Miss Fayille. This includes not only the city but also the Govemment district of Sitapur, which gives a population to the circuit of nearly a million of souls. The work is carried on by one missionary and his wife, and one missionary of the Woman's Missionary Society, with fourteen native preachers, seven Christian teachers and thirteen native Christian women workers. -There are ten special centres of work where preachers reside and Christians are found in many different villages. We have two good Anglo-V emaculo.r schools for boys and one boarding school for girls, with four smaller schools. The Christian children in these schools number nearly one hundred, and the non-Christians number over two hundred. The Epworth League here is a very enthusiastic and well developed society. It is training workers for Christ.

Lalchimpur Cirouit.-Kanhai Singh, native minister, Sadal Singh, Jiya Lall, and six other Christian workers. This also is a very large Government district, even larger than Sitapur. It is under a Hindus­tani minister, who is assisted by three other preachers and four women workers. The schools here are small but are doing good evangelistic work for Christ. We have some encouraging openings in this circuit among the Chamars, and have entrance to two or three other castes. During this year we have completed a neat new church in an ~xcellent locality in Lakhimpur city. This was erected by the aid of our good friend, H. J. Learned, of Wamesitt, Mass., U. S. A. This has given new power to our work as well as given a good place of worship to our people. Mr. Learned also supports the minister here. , Bardo;' Oircuit.-S. Tupper, native minister; A. Wahid, Rubin David, M. O. Daniel, with twelve other Christian workers. This circuit contains a very large population spread over a large territory. There are twelve centres of work, and efficient workers are pushing on the battle. We have some very interesting openings into several caates, -and one hundred a~d forty-~ix have ~en baptized this year.

OUDa DISTRIOT. 21

There are three Christian land-holders with large estates in different parts of this circuit who are a; help to the church. At one of the public Epworth League meetings held during the quarterly meeting, some of the nmv converts were called in from the villages, and in different classes repeated the commandments, the Apostles Creed, the Lord's Prayer and passages of scripture, and then all stood in a long line and sang, " Yisu Masih mero prana bachaiya,"-Jesus Christ is the Saviour of my soul. These were poor villagers who could neither read nor write, all dressed in their scant village costumes, and speaking in their rough, broken village tongue, but to us who love these people and this work, their words were sweeter than the infant's first words are to the fond mother's heart. All showed how well the converts had been taught.

Shahabad Oircuit.-G. D. Spencer, native minister; Mohan Das, Ram Charan, with six Christian workers. This is a smaller circuit, being a portion of the old Hardoi circuit. It contains, however, .two-hundred thousand people. There are three;hundred Christians in the circuit, and there are more promising openings here than in some of our larger circuits. Forty-five have been baptized this year. Our openings here are into the same caste that are receiving ChriEit in such numbers in Rohilkhund. Nearly the entire caste is tl!rning towards Christianity.

Unao Circuit.-Yaqub Shah, native minister; Baldeo Parshad, Jiwan Singh, Nand Ram, with ten other Christian workers. This circuit includes the entire district of Unao, with the city of Unao as the centre of work. The native minister is a very enthusiastic worker. There were a larger number of baptisms in this charge during 189"3 than in any other place in Oudh. The Christian community in all the villages now numbers about seven hundred. Openings have been made that give hope of yet greater success. What we mean by these openings is, that families have been converted from certain castes, and through these converts others of their relatives and caste brethren are gathered in, and through these others again, until the entire caste is made to feel the influence. This gives us hope for a greater work.

Rae Bareilly Circuit.-W. R. Bowen, native minister; W. A. Comfort, Jukhan Lall, Ajudhia Pershad, J. W. Norton, with six other Christian workers. Evangelistic work is carried on with great earnest­ness from eight centres. A number of persons lw.yc been converted from a class known as " Ban Manush," jungle men. They are very ignorant, and are as low ill the plane of humanity as it is possible for man to reach. In this case we are beginning quite at the bottom. Still some of them have already shown an encouraging change. These people differ from most low caste converts in that they do not wish their children educated.

Barabanlci Circuit.-S. Paul, native minister, Mangal Singh, H. C. Sigler, Hesi Singh, Boaz, and seven other Christian workers. This is another of the large fields now worked as Olle circuit. The Sunday school work here is very successful, there being 1,930 pupils in these schools. The native miuister and his wife take great interest in the young people of their charge. At the distribution of prizes to to the Sunday school children, the church was beautifully decorated &nd

At Barabanki in a large grove, our Christian "Mela" or camp meeting is held annually, usually during the first week in December.

PILIBHIT DISTRICT.

REY. ABRAHA:'lI SOLOMA~, Native Presiding Elder.

My heart is full of gratitude to God for the rich blessing He poured out on this district this rear hy his Holy Spirit. I visited the differellit stations several times, and found all my fellow-laborers working hard. God's Spirit is working with them. The new converts are happy in tae Lord. Revival meetings were held in different places, where the COllverts and inquirers were strengthened and the workers received rich blessings. Thanks are due to Rev. Dr. Scott, Rev. Dr. Butcher, and Rev. F. L. Neeld for the help they ha\'e kindly given in these meetings. The number of Christians in this district is 6,622, living in four hundred and twenty­three towns and TIllages. There are thousands of inquirers in this district, out of whom 1,013 ha\'e embraced Christianity this year. The day schools number eighty-two and the Sunday schools one hundred and three, wh~re 2,000 students receive instruction. The Sunday school students tell their relatives and friends about Christianity, and many have embraced our religion through their instrumentality. The Epworth Leag'Qe, the LalFita Fauj (anti-tobacco army) and the Kauria Paltan (shell brigade.) are making good progress. The Epworth League has been a means of intellectual improvement and spiritual uplifting among our people. The Lal Fita Fauj has saved many from the injurious habit of tobacco and it is teaching temperance. The Ka\lria Paltan has been useful in making our children cheerful givers. There has been a great increase this year in church collections. The missionary collection amounts to Rs. 59-1, and the collection for bishops, Rs. 13. Rupees 90 have been collected from people who never gave any thing before. The churches in this district have supported thirteen preachers entirely, paying them Rs. 642-8. The India Missionary Society has been established this year. among our people in different stations. The total number of members is ninety-five, eaoh paying a rupee a year. It is a matter of great gratitude to note that there are hundreds of people in this dL.;trict who are ready to glol'ify God a.nd spread the faith of Christjn this land by their persona.l eftorls and private means. I note with gratitude the work done in tho Rampur circuit, where fi:ftl-four pe'rsons have been l,Japtized. A. community of foqr

This district is divided into fourteen circuits, hcaied by ser-en ,~ouference members, fh'e ordairwd local preachers and one ullordaine(l ]!)cal prcncher. 'Ve thank Go(l for givillg us ]lOrH~ and courage al1(l joy at etimes of perplexity in his w,)rk this year.

REPORTS OF COMMI'fTEES.

The ::;tatistics have come to us in very good shape, and were it not for the fact thl.t they are necessarily delayed beca.use of the late

I, date in the year for which they are closed, we would have Statistica.l Report. had them ready earlier. There are evident errors that

cannot be detected by the Secreta.ries and in the last hours of the Oonference corrected. The committee urge

that the ditto of closing the reports be changed, otherwise the report must remain unsatisfactory,

Tue comjJarisun with the figurt!~ of b.at year ,are, in a. number of cases greatly to tho ap;nl'tJnt disp:l.ra.,C;tJlDeut of the repJrt for this year, but the item is princi. pally ill re;al'd to s;:uooh; and ba.ptisms. Both admit of satisfactory explanation.

We ha,v~ .been withholding am' m~m from spreading their work to places where we cannot follow up our people with proper instructions, The baptisms must be held in che~;( uutil IDI)re etticieut workers in sufficient number shall be prepared ~o instruct them in the way of life.

Our small schools have been very unsatisfactory and a number have been discontinued, or twu or more smaller ones have been united. The enquirer is referred to tao report of the Boa.rd of Education as given elsewhere.

54 REPORTS OF OOMMITTEES.

The Cominittee on the State of the Church find it an easy and pleasant II. task to report, as we gratefully note marked progress

State of the Church. on all the points conung witlun the purview of such Oon1erence report. The year 18l:.l4 has been the best

year in the history of the North India Oonference; the best year spiritually­and this wvrd marks the \ nly true progress in a work like ours-and the best temporally. in the report of this Oommittee for the year 1893, gratei'ul men' tion was made of the fact that our Native and English churches had greatly increased in spirituality, and from various points whencl:' we have sought in· formation as well as from our own experience and observation, the increase has continued through 1894. Perhaps its highest tigure was touched at the Lucknow Dasehta Meetings, in which many, both ~uropean and Native Ohristians, acknowledged a wonderful spiritual uplift; and something much more than the echoes or memory orthi!) great gospel gathering wa~ glvriously manifest in the feasts of tabernacles held in each district throughout the Conference knt)W'n as Isai Melas. These Christian Melas, held in connection with our District Conferences, auswer to the American Methodist camp-meeting at its best estate, and are doing a work for our Zion that will tell grandly on our churches in time. and stare millions on their way to a gloriolls eternity.

The !)piritual state of the church, 01' rather of the churches: is ot infinite­ly more importan::e in the growth of the infant Christian Church in India than all the statilltics of all tile I5tatitlticians as t.o numbers, castes, stations

. occupied, sermons, schools, etc. Statistics are good,-they are important, though sometimes dry, and often misleading. Numbers and reports of increasing memo bers, of baptisms, conversions, ~unday Schools. and Sunday School scholars, admissions to church membership, l!:pworth Leagues-all these as they ad­vance and increJ.se give encouragement; but they are but the scaffolding of the spiritual church which Ohrist it; building for Himself on these fertile plains and in the valley of the Ganges. ~luch uf the machinery is necessary, and wnen of the best kmd, as we fondlY believe ours to be very admirable, and doing its work grandly, still it is machinery, and need~ the spirit, the genius of life to move it and direct it to its lIighest achievement,;, its best results.

Little note is taken by U3 of the fact tuat fewer accessions, fewp,r baptisms may have been recorded than in previolls years. The work hal, gone forward just as fast as it could go' safely, and there has been little ambition on the part of missiona.ries and older preachers-in·charge to report thousands baptized unless proper arrangements were feasible for the further instruction Wld spiritual guidance and oversight of those thousands The steady purpose of all having the welfare of the church at heart, to work constantly and untir­ingly toward. self· support, is a most hopeful feature. Next to the spiritual life of the church is its development of self-support; and some real progress has been made. 'Ve look for more and greater progress in the immediate future. Too much stress cannot be laid on the advocacy of this subject; its /Success lies at the ~ery founda.tion of the solid structure ot the Christian Church in India.

J. W. WAUGH,

Ohairman of Committee.

There are within the limits of this Oonference 1,111 Sunday schools with a total of 4.2,522 scholars. This gives an increase of 40

Ill. schools and of 3,215 scholar;;. Of this total, ~O. 586 Beport on Sunday Schools. are Christians. 'Veare pleased to report an increase

of 2,4.00 Christian sch('lars. But we find that this in­crease is not in proportion to the number baptized, and with so larg.e a Christian community we ought to have a much larger num ber enrolled In our Sunday 8"hools. Atipreseut les8 than half of the total Chri8tian community attend the~e SChools. Too mnch emphasis cannot be laic' on the importance of the Sunday Schools, both as an evangelizing agency and as a means of indoctrinating our Christians in the fundamental truths of the Gospel. .

It seems to your Oommittee that we need Either a new catechism or at least a re\'ision of the old ones. The revised may contain the matter of those now in use, but should not begin with the creation, and go on d"wn through Old Testament History, but with man's sinful condition, its consequence, and the plan of salvation. We need to have a care lest the ca.techism crowd out or at least relegate to a secondary place, the study of the Bible.

REPORTS OF OOMMITTEES . 55

.A~other manifest need is of a short series of selections of scripture from tbelife of Ch~lst arranged in lessons in chronological order with short explanations and questIOns. This would give the teacher a definite plan of work toward a definite end .and would help the village scholar to get before him more clearly the life of ChrIst. The International Sunday School Lesson do not meet this special need, as they skip about from book to book over the whole Bible. This tends to confuse the mind of the village scholar.

The C()mmittee desires to urge the preachers in charge t as far as possible, to gather in their teachers once a week for a Bible study on the lessons to be taught on the following Sunday. Examinations by the preacher in charge onoe a month or as often as possible, would be followed by beneficial results. The sucoess of the Sunday School, and especially in this, so with the village schools, depends largely on the interest shown in the work by the preacher himself.

L. A. CORE, W. R. BOWEN, F. PBESGIlAVE, H. K. LIST.

Whereas, the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Chu,rch

IV. Temperance

distinctly affirmed "that theWord of God, the teach. ing of science and the lessons of experience, all combine in declaring total abstinence from intoxicat­ing beverages to be Lhe duty of every individual,"

we, the members of the North India Annual Conference, heartily endorse the above sentimeut and promise to continue faithfully to inculcate the same in the congregations and societies committed to our charge.

\Vhile we 8incerely thank God for the Christian Government under which we enjoy freedom tu labor for the conversion of this land, at the same time w~ deplore the connection now existing between the Government and the liquor tra.ffic. Revenue froD. the manufacture and 8ale of intoxicating liquors and intoxicating drugt; by Government we believe to be revenue from sin, and tha.t the entire traffic i" maintained and extended to the injury of the people of India. .

To our Christian people we say tha.t times of public and of domestic festivity ought to be celebrated without contamination with this accursed drink, because all connection with it leads to demoralization.

The Chairman of the Committee on Temperance (now about to be appointed) is hereby requested to fix (in c(>11sultation WIth the Bishup) and to advertise the date of one ~abbath in the coming year which shall be called "Temperance Sabbath," when every mmister of our church shall state publicly in every congregation our position on this subject and deliver an address or sermon on the same.

January 7th, 1895.

Our English schools at Naini Tal continue worthy of special mention. Both . boys and eir Is ba ve passed well and earned the

V. commendation of the Government and a good grant. Report of Boa.rd of in·aid. Wellesley Girls' High School is free from debt

Education. and from its earnings will soon ha.ve a good new building, which will add greatly to the advantss-es

the school already affords. Oak Openings Boys' High School has still a. depressmg debt on its real estate but it is considerably less than last year. It has had a good staff but is to have a. hetter one, for it takes several European collegiates to its num'ber in place of several who have withdrawn. Our Missionaries are to be congratulated that our children can attend such good evangelical schools so near home. They have the confidence of the public and are well attended. We hope llOIne kind friend will come to thr help of Oak Openings. If half of its debt were paid the rest would be no great burden fOl' the. school to carry.

The Reid Christian College and the Woman's College of Lucknow have each p~ssed Chrisb.n candidates for the First Arts Examination, nnd one young man, Nathe:.niel Jordan, a son of one of our Conference members James Jordan; passed the B. A.. Examina.tion. At the meeting of the Provincial Section of the Iudian

66 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

Ohristian Association, held in October, the prizes granted by that Association to the young man and young lady passing highest in the province from the native Ohristia.n community were voted by that Society to Nathaniel Jordan and Miss Abel, both fr-:>m our own mission. Our Anglo-Vernacular schods under the special care of Government Inspectors haveibecome more efficient than ever. Many of them are almost entirely su~tained by Government aid and tuitional fees.

Tbe question of our small schools as an aid to the enlightening of our village Ohristianlcommunities: The provision of the Central Conference for the appoint­ment of managers and inspectors ha.s been put iuto effect, but it is tvo soon to point out the beneficial effects of the movement. There are very many difficulties 1D connection ~with these schools that will take time to remove. 'While they are not successes as secular educational agencies, they are not unimportant aids to our evangelical work. We recommend that an early meeting of the Board complete the effectiveness of inspection and reports.

Our Children's Day waS almost universally observed. Sixty-six stations have repprted collections and several others have not yet reported. who took collections. It is a ma.tter of regret that the total received this year is less than last year. This deficiency is on account of the collection of the English churches, There has been more received from our small circuits and native churche:-: thau last year. The sum collected this year was TIs, 487,

The Theological School sent out ten young men on diplomas. they having p_8.ssed well in the examination in the three years course. Unly one'man failed. Fourteen men who bad a partial course were givt'n to t he work with certificates 'of their attainmen ts. A number of presiding elders were present to secure tlwEe men for their districts. If there had been three tirr:es this number, all would have been taken to fupplantothers in the work who ,Dould be better illstructed for their work. The Board of Trustees at their meeting- decidtd that not more than thirty new candidate.- could be adn'ith'd on the funds at kInd. Uut there are applications from sixty-five sent up l:>y the difl'ererlt Di!:;trict CC'llfH€ncp!,-, who see the need for better men. 'There are not quaIttrs for 1 his Dumter. 7here is not support for them. We pray for more help for this work. It is the most impera.tive need of the mission. ."
