At the daily Dispensary in connection with the Mary S. Ackerman Hoyt Hospital, 4,043 new patients were treated, who made 10,833 visits. At our Branch Dispensary in Sipri 680 patients were seen who attended 1,591 times. Thus in both Dispensaries for the year 4,723 new patients were treated, with a total daily attendance of 12,424.

The number of new patients received into the Wards of the Hospital during the year was 319, a decided increase above that of last year. The visits made to the patients' homes numbered 240. Operations performed were about ISO. There were seven baptisms during the year.

The N ~rses' Trainil1g School has at present ten nurses, four in the graduating class, two in the junior class and four probationers.

The four Bible women regularly visit 100 zenanas, where they instruct about 200 women. More than 20 other zenanas are waiting to be entered, but at present we have no means to senq them fln evangelist. The~e Bible women by their <4~Iy work in the two Pispel1~flries have preached to about ~p,oqo p,ersolls includi~g the patients and the friends whp accompanied them, to all of whom Gospel tracts were givell.

Jhan.si 7

There are eight Sunday Schools with an average attend:­ance of 287 since July.

In looking over the year just closed, there is much fQr which to thank God and to give us hope and encouragement for the future. First of all, there has been no serious il1ness among any of the missionaries, and though we did not have all the means we could have used, every urgent need has been supplied and no department of the work permitted to languish. I wish to convey our heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends who from time to time removed many a finan­cial burden from us and made it possible for the work m continue. The Master will know how to reward their ef­forts to extend His kingdom. We rej oice that Miss Mor­rison, who having now taken her first year's examination in the language, is ready to take charge of the ten nurses in our TrainiNg School, and we anticipate a prosperous year for the institution.

Our first convert, Hajari, has lately become its Matron and is rendering most acceptable service. The most en­couraging result in the work at Jhansi has been the wonder­ful changes that God has brought about in the life of this woman. If He has so changed one heathen woman, He can change others, and this is what we are praying and working for.

That Mrs. Harriet Ree has come back to us is also a matter for great thankfulness and hope. As Matron of the Hospital, her opportunities to live and work for the Savio1!r she follows so closely will be limitless. The number of in­patients and their contributions to the maintenance of the Hospital, show a· decided advance over that of the previous year, and while the operations as a whole were slightly h~5S this yea-r, "Phose performed in the Hospital were increasoo~ and the number of major operations shows a marked ad­vance. Another· encourag-ing feature about the Hospital. is that it is attracting patients from clistant cities. I haM~r

8 Calcutta

known five patients to arrive by one train from a distance of 500 miles. All were cases for major operations, who have since returned to their homes completely restored.

The number of converts this year, though hot as large as one could wish, still shows that the Holy Spirit is at work in our midst, and we know that what He does cannot be stated in figures, and we expect Him to do still greater things.

A severe famine is threatening this part of India, which will doubtless tax our strength and resources to their utmost, but if He is with us, we need lack nothing. lvlay He be with us all the coming year.

nant-keeping God. Weare thankful for the mighty working of the Holy Spirit in turning many hearts in sorrow, con­fession and appropriation to Himself.. The great outstand­ing feature in the year has been the revival in our midst, an outpouring of the Spirit on many hearts in answer to prayer and seeking. It was a gracious and wonderful visita­tion with the fruit to-day in many lives of humble,. prayerful walk, controlled by a desire for God's glory. Truly it has been a year of God's loving favor and the manifestations of His grace and power, and we are singing a new song of praise unto our God.

The requirements of our school urgently called for larger accommodations and we have been able to add a second building, which was greatly needed and which makes pos­sible not alone receiving a few more students, but more ef­ficient work in accord with the growing demands of the time. The marked success of the first B.A. student to be sent up for her University examinations has served to draw attention to the quality of our work. There is no more needed work in India to-day than the education of the young girls, the future mothers of our Indian Christian community. We long to have them the "vessels unto honor, sanctified and meet for the Master's use and prepared unto every good work."

In the outside Hindu schools, there has been a spirit of inquiry and earnestness and a willingness to gather for little meetings in which children have shared, taking part not only in the singing but leading in prayers.

Our Zenana work has temporarily suffered through the illness of the head worker, but her place has been filled by one of experience and we trust to extend this line of our work, and reach more to those hidden in the dark homes, where the light has never or but dimly penetrated. It has been a year_of signal blessing at the Orphanage, many young lives -having been consecrated to the service of the

10 Allahabad

Master. Our number of orphans has increased, the little waifs coming to us from many dir~ctions, to find a home with its ·love and care.

In our Book Department the principal feature is fresh issues of books that were published by this Society, and too useful to be dropped out of the very limited Christian literature.

We would end as we began with a note of grateful praise to our God, in which we would ask those who read these lines to join with us, continuing in the prayer we so much need, for the added responsibilities and possibilities of our lives.

The first half of the year's wQrk was hindered by plague and smallpox epidemics, from which our workers were mercifuIty preserved, while showing under trying condi­tions rare courage and faith.

Since the Summer vacation marked progress has been notedi' in every department. The workers themselves seem

Allaka/Ja.¢ II

endued with new zeal and enthusiasm, the number of new pupils in Zenanas and schools have rapidly increased, and th~re is a hope of larger things' to come. This monthly ipcrease of new pupils is, we believe, due mainly to the h~eving prayer of our "Prayer Warriors" at home, joined to those from the field of action.

In order that our Bible women may reach an increas­ingly greater number of those who have not yet been taught, old Zenana pupils whO' can read the Bible and know the plan of salvation, are being visited less regularly. Recent converts from our Zenanas are now in training to take their places among those who tell the good news.

Schools show progress over last year in numbers and quality of work done. \Veekly examinations are taken by the missionaries and assistants, and semi-annual ones by the one in charge. Prizes were awarded to nine schools this year, during and after the Christmas season. Special stress is laid on the daily Bible lesson, the memorizing of Scripture, and sacred hymns, while the sewing and knitting classes have prov.ed very popular with both scholars and parents, but not more so than the action songs and simple calisthenics which so delight them.

Owing to the influence of our school, a father, mother, and four children have declared their allegiance to Christ. The children in several schools have been taught to pray extemporaneously, while all are taught the Lord's prayer and Commandments.

Converts' Home: Number received, 12; baptisms, 8. Some of these have had to be passed on to other stations,

while others are in training fQr future work. Six women from Zenanas announced their inten.tion of uniting with Go<J's people this year, but were hindered by relatives.

A workers' meeting is held weekly, when there is special Bible study and prayer; the first Saturday of the month ~~llg devoted to praise, pra.yer and reports. About two

12 Cawnpore

weeks' work was done in villages and at M etas during the year.

Although this year has been characterized by an unusual amount of sickness among teachers and taught, God's mighty power has been perfecting itself, in weakness, and we close the year's work with unspeakable gratitude to Him who has not only kept and guided, but answered our pray­en~, far beyond our weak faith and feeble asking.

:. People reached in Zenana and Schools,. I,II4

The work falls naturally into three main divisions which I will take up separately:

1. Zenana or House to House Visitation. During the year 480 homes have·been visited, and in these

330 people· have had regular teaching while 754 have; week by week~heard the Gospel. I do not know how many times the workers have said "What a different reception we have in homes now compared with what we had five or six years ago." The same thought has been in my own mind almost every day, for there I is practically no opposition now, whereas formerly it was oftentimes intense.

Houses are open. to us on every side which we cannot possibly enter for lack of workers, ana we are but one of four missions here in Cawnpore. At the beginning of the year I suggested that all those women who had a really good idea of the Gospel should have only occasional calls,

Cawnpore 13

and new homes, opened. Of these old pupils the figures do not speak.

Our first baptism occurred very unexpectedly, of a very attractive young girl who had not been receiving instruc­tion through us. There had been a very trivial offense which had so displeased her husband that he would have nothing more to do with her, but his brother and friends had manhood enough to not see her young life ruined. Having seen us often in connection with our work, they decided to let her become a Christian, which she was eager to be. She learned rapidly during her short stay at the l\1ission Home, simply drinking in the Gospel as it was given to her. One of the men who was present at her baptism was so much impressed that he attends a Bible class regularly in the city. The other candidate was our sweeper, who had been receiving regular instruction daily with all the other servants. Pray for these infants in the faith, that they may learn much of what God has for them in Christ Jesus.

2. School Work. We have now seven schools, six of which are Hindu and

one Mohammedan, 263 pupils having been enrolled during the year, with an average attendance of 143 daily. These children represent all classes from the high-caste Brahmin to the Chamars, i. e., from "Fifth Avenue people to the slums." Here the obliteration of caste feeling is even more marked and we find the children of all castes eating together and all coming together to the Mission Home for their Christmas treat. In one of the schools a request has come for an evening meeting to be held and we found they had fine ideas how to conduct it. There are several girls who, I think, are seriously contemplating baptism.·

3. Sunday Schools. Our Sunday School in the Orphanage no longer needing

me because of Dr. Mackenzie's increased knowledge of the language, the city Sunday Schools have been given more

14 Cawnpore

attention and during the last six months we have organized a new one and revived an old one, making a total of six, with an average attendance of 200. Systematic lessons have been given on the International Lesson and as a rule the children have been able to give me the main outline of the lessons. One is held where many people pass and so beside the regular pupils we have anywhere from ten to fifteen people gathered each Sunday at the doors listening, who would not dare to come inside the building. About half of those reached on the Sabbath are not reached in any. other way.

Beside this regular work I have been privileged to go out twice into the Fatehpur district, and certainly there are boundless opportunities awaiting one there. Five of us went out as usual to the Bithoor M cIa where hundreds of Scripture portions were sold, and thousands of tracts dis­tributed. Work of a like character has been done at the Bathing Ghats here in the city.

Though far from satisfied with attainments made, I feel we are ready as never before for another good year of work. If the present force of workers are with us through­out the year even more than this will undoubtedly be the result, for there are places which I feeJ sure will ere long be opened up to us. Will you not pray that during the coming year of 1908, the seed sowing of the past years may bear much fruit and many acknowledge Christ as their Saviour?

Weare glad to report a good year in the Mary A. Merri­man Orphanage.. Owing to the care of Dr. Mary Mac­kenzie and the improved sanitary conditions, the health of the school has been excellent, and with few exceptions the children have enjoyed an uninterrupted year of progress.

Our number is the same as last year, the :Master having sent us thirteen homeless ones to replace the thirteen who went out of the school during the year. Two were called up to their Father's Home, one has gone to our station at Allahabad to teach, another to Fatehpur as a Bible Reader, and another as an assistant matron to Jhansi. Two others have gone. to homes of their own. Both their husbands have positions of influence and trust in Government employ. It is 'with joy we have heard that one of those has already done much to bring the Gospel message to those around her.

The children have made great advancement in their home life in the school. They now do all their own cooking, sweeping, sewing and general work of the school. They wished to do their washing, that they might save the five dollars per month formerly given for it, to support a mis­sion school in the city out of which several baptisms have already sprung.

As a result of Miss Davis' great interest in teaching them, the children have made great progress in various kinds of fancy work, which now brings them some money to use in mission work, and afterward will be a most useful and pleasant occupation in their homes.

The Christian H eraldJ s generous support in our work, ceasing with the close of this year, it was found necessary to employ native teachers in the school. The children have made steady progress, however, in their studies and this year six of the older girls will take the government teach­ers' examinations.

In the Sabbath School the International Sunday-School study course is followed. Of the .~fty girls who last year

16 Cawnpore

took the written Bible examinations for all India, forty-six received certificates for having passed. This year sixty­seven of the children took these examinations.

\\Then you think that seven years ago most of these who now read and write in Hindu, Urdu, Roman, and the older ones in English as well, were famine waifs you will realize what progress they have made.

The Christian Endeavor societies have, owing to Miss Beach's earnest and successful efforts, done more than I can say to develop the girls spiritually and mentally. All the officers are now chosen from the girls themselves, and the manner in which they lead a meeting or give a report would do credit to many of our older societies at home.

Nineteen of the older girls have this year come forward to the Lord's Table, increasing our Church membership to thirty-six. They are showing daily by their lives what it means to be a daughter of the King of Kings. Our church services are conducted every Sabbath in the Eliza .A. Dean Memorial Bible-Training-School by the Pastors of the vari­ous denominations in the city.

We wish to thank the Ch1'istian Herald and friends who through it have taken such a noble part in caring for the M:aster's little ones here, and also for the fact that they continued that work two years longer than they at first promised to do.

This year on account of the scarcity of rain, famine threatens to be even more widespread than that of ten years ago. Food 110W cost-s double what it did a year ago, and thousands are already crowding in from the villages in search of it. Soon there will be appeals to us without number to take the sick and famine stricken children. Are they to be cast aside or shall' we trust to the :Master through you to provide for those little lambs of His Fold? '"

It is with heartfelt gratitude and: ttlarrks;':w6 think of all He has already done for us' and "ls,now~ doing.in sending

Shanghai 17

Miss Norton to carryon and extend His work in the Orphanage 'here, and Miss Owen to help open the much­needed medical work at Fatehpur. Pray with us that in the coming year the Master may give us even richer bless­ings than He has done in the past.

CHINA.-SHANGHAI.

REPORT OF THE MARGARET WILLIAMSON HOSPITAL, FOR THE

YEAR OCTOBER IST, 1906, TO OCTOBER 1ST, 1907.

By ELIZABETH REIFSNYDER, M.D.

During the year the work has gone steadily on, with no interruptions as regards the In-patient department, and practically none as regards the Dispensary.

\Vhen the year began Dr. .Mary Newell, Miss Bertha Miller our trained nurse, and myself, comprised the foreign staff, Miss Miller giving most of her time to the language, yet being able to render much valuable help, especially with operations. Dr. Emily Garner was in America on account of health, mainly, but was taking a much-needed rest as well, and there was much anxiety concerning her, owing to the gravity of her condition. Early in October, Dr. Annie 1. Hamilton arrived and began at once the study of the language. With the beginning of September, Dr. Garner returned, <l:nd took up her work again, her restora­tion to health being a very great cause for gratitude.

All our Chinese have done good work throughout the year, assistants and nurses having been most faithful; the only change worth mentioning being the marriage of our oldest assistant, one who had been with us ten years. This took place at the Hospital, February 6th, and of course we had a holiday. This assistant returned, however, :the latter part of April, and kindly helped with the Dispensary, until

18 Shanghai

she left September 1st to go with her husband to Nanking, where he is a teacher in the Imperial Polytechnic College. The services of this assistant were invaluable, as Dr. Newell was necessarily away 011 account of illness, and her vaca­tion was taken earlier than usual, because of it. Although there had been not a little anxiety concerning both Dr. Garner and Dr. Newell, when our year closed, all in con­nection with the Hospital, Chinese as _well as foreigners, were in comparatively good health, for which we were most thankful to our Heavenly Father, who brought us to the close of the year in such good shape.

And now as to work accomplished; the Vvards "rere never dosed, but for several months during the Summer the accommodations were lessened, owing to repairs, and var­nishing of a portion of the Hospital. This, however, gave the nurses an opportunity for a J?uch-needed rest.

As to In-patients, there were more than during any pre­vious year, and many cases of special interest. While we :are interested in all who come, because we want them to hear the Gospel, from a purely professional standpoint, there were some of more than usual interest. For example, one -poor woman of forty-three was a burden to herself, and ·confined to her bed because of her burden. After relieving her of over eighty pounds, she still had a body weight of -sixty-five pounds with which to take a fresh start in life. She recovered wonderfully well, leaving us with much less 1n her body, but far more in her heart, than when she came. She took with her a very clear knowledge of God and was most grateful for all that had been done for body and soul.

One more has been added to our number of proteges, making in all five who look upon us C!.s their guardians, with all the power of parents, and on the Hospital as Home. One little girl of six, no doubt a slave, was brought to us some months ago, barely over the smallpox, and with her

Shanghai 19

eyes ina hopeless condition, even after long treatment. She was greatly emaciated but improved wonderfully, arid the marvel now is where the nine or more bowls of rice, to say nothing of the vegetables, a~e stowed away daily. No one has ever come to claim her, so she belongs to us, happy little Ling De, for such is her name. For a long time she was called "Blind Little Sister," but having a mind of her own, she preferred to be called by her name. She goes to our little school here, by listening to the constant repetition has already learned a little, and some day we hope there will be a school for the blind in Shanghai.

As to the Dispensary, which comprises by far the greater part of our work, what shall be said of it and the tens of thousands who come to us during the course of a year? One cannot but feel that there are great possibilities in this Dispensary work; given a large, cheery, comfortable, bright waiting-room, good earnest women to "tell the story of Jesus and His Love," not a little knowledge of Him who had "compassion on the multitudes," will be carried away. One thing is certain, and that is, that a Christian vocabulary is being given t9 these hundreds who wait daily, Christian literature, and portions of the Scriptures are dis­tributed, and thus is the soil being prepared for the seed, whenever and wherever sown. Patients come many miles to be treated, and when they return to the city or village from which they came, they will have much to tell of what they saw and heard, and the next time an evangelist visits that viHage, or city there will be some to "hear Him gladly," because of having heard before, while waiting to be treated.

Apart from the daily preaching of Mrs. Day, Mrs. Zau, and Mrs. Sung, there are silent sermons being constantly p~~ached, for good Christian friends have had printed in lar.g~ de.ar characters, mounted and framed, the "Beati­tudes," the "Lord's Prayer,". the "Ten Commandments," "A Prayer for the Sick," selections from the Scriptures,

20

and several portions from the Confucian classics, th~t were considered especially appropriate. One very well-known saying has been slightly changed, in order to adapt it to its "environment." Instead of "All within the four seas are brothers," we have in large characters, "All within the four seas are Sisters." Who will say that the Chinese mind is riot equal to any occasion?

As upwards of fifty thousand patients were seen during the year, the daily average was almost one hundred and sixty-three; the highest number seen in one month, the month of May, was six thousand and fifty-four. As a rule, patients register daily, Sundays excepted, up till 3 PM., but during August no patients were seen after I P. M., thus giving a half holiday to the ones in the Dispensary work. At China New Ylear the Dispensary was closed for a week, as few persons care to be ill at this season, hence few come.

Not a small part of our work has been 'in the -interest shown, and help given, by a number of ladies here, of different nationalities, constituting the "Local Committee."

As no report is complete without statistics, below are the necessary figures:

In-patients Seen in homes Visits made in homes. . Dispensary patients New patients Prescriptions filled

741 II9 246

49,739 30 ,859 64,543

Since a very considerable amount of the support of the Hospital has to be met here, all patients who are able to pay are encouraged to do so, and that our efforts in this direction have not been in vain, will be seen by the amounts noted. The contributIons have all come from grateful patients; and are in fact thank-offerings. This of course refers to the money contributed by the Chinese.

Shanghai 21

Amounts received were as follows:

From foreign friends. Mexican $340 •12 278.0 5 239·49

9,816·59

From Chinese, contributed. Customs, Mixed Court, and Municipal Police. From Chinese patients.

Total Or U. S. money about.

.$10,674. 2 5 $5,35°·00

While there are always those who are too poor to pay anything, either at the Dispensary, or for their stay in the Hospital, and we gladly welcome this class, still there are thousands who can easily pay thirty copper cash, three l\1exican cents, about one and a half cents of American money; from this small amount given by the great majority, I,402,060 cash were received, aiding very materially in the buying of the drugs, since it meant some thirteen hundred :Mexican dollars, or about that, in this land of fluctuating currency.

Such, in brief, is the history of a year, just closed. In looking back over it, rest assured we do not feel satisfied. What has been done, however, has been done, we trust, "in His Name," and may His blessing rest upon it.

Evangelists: Miss 1\1. J. Irvine, Miss Elizabeth Irvine. Bible Women: 3; Women taught in Bible School. The time has come for us to write our fifteenth Annual

Report, and we think of the Chinese proverb, "K waung iung dzui 'tsien," which means time flies like an arrow. Only ten months of the year have been given to this branch of the work, the remaining part of our time being given wholly to the Girls' Boarding- School.

22 Shanghai

Regular Sunday and mid-week services have been main­tained in the Van Santvoord Memorial Chapel, throughout the .entire year. Its services afford not only place for our own people to worship, but many Christians belonging to other churches, living in our neighborhood, attend· regu­larly on Sunday services. It is like a city set on a hill.

During four successive months of the year we have had a regular class of six women students in the Allen Memorial Bible-School. Over two hundred other women have .been our guests for longer or shorter time, their visits averaging from two or three days to a month or six weeks. Every one has this grand opportunity of hearing the Gospel and of carrying it back to her heathen home. The usefulness of such an institution in our work we cannot estimate, an opportunity God-given. "Behold I have set befor~ thee an open door, and no man can shut it." That door is the Margaret Williamson Hospital. A door where the sick and suffering find relief. A place where actual miracles are performed for the prolongation of life. The number of Chinese women who work faithfully for the evangelization and conversion of the multitudes who come and go day after day, has been three. Recently a new one has been added to our number.

Part of the time of two foreigners also is given to this work, whether in the teaching in the Wards or in following many of these patients to their homes. The daily influence of Christian helpers in the Hospital-all these forces com­bine in breaking down the barriers of superstition.

How can we tell you about the work in the country vil­lages that lies before us? God gave to his servant the message, "Every place that the soles of your feet shall tread upon, that have I given you." We have visited a number of new villages with the Gospel, and have found not a few to whom the Gospel comes as a glad message. While we have open doors on every hand we see the great

.Shanghai 23

power of the adversary, the devil, who uses every effort 'to thwart our plans in traveling on evangelistic tours among the villages.

We thank those friends at home who have come to our help with prayers and gifts for the support of Bible \Vomen and expenses of traveling.

Of the gifts which have been most timely we mention the one from the American Tract Society. It is not easy to reckon precisely the number of tracts given or sold dur­ing the year, but our statistics show that over five thousand have passed through our hands this year. There is a unique opportunity to di8seminate Christian literature at present. The purchase of an unusual number of tracts this year from the Chinese Tract Society called forth this re­mark, "Would that every missionary society in China would use to a larger extent this method that your Woman's Union l\1ission is using for the spread of the Gospe1."

Taking a glance over the work during the year from N 0-

vember 1st, 1906, to ?\ovember 1st, 1907, we find that four­teen persons have been added to our number by baptism; eleven adults: nine women, two men, and three children. There stand out vividly before us the words of Dr. l\1orri­son's autograph letter, on exhibition at the Centenary Con­ference. These are his words to his friend: "1 have labor­ed these twenty years and can onl':.' see a few spikes; but by the blessing of God there will be an abundant harvest."

\Ve have seen the spikes here and there all through the year that has just closed. In a number of cases it has been the glowing testimony of those who are now amons- the blood-washed ones in His presence. "If a grain of wheat die, it beareth much fruit." These words we see literally fulfilled, in the Hospital work, where the most marvelous conversions have occurred among the women and evelJ little children have perfected the praise ascribed to Him on their

death-bed.

24 Shanghai

Our prayer is that the Holy Ghost may fall on us and upon all those who have been baptized. We see in city and country more intelligence, enterprise, industry, and a reaching out for education especially. None of these things are the forces which are to regenerate China., but it is the Gospel that will give life to these dry bones.

l\tfay those of us who send and those who go with the evangel have a larger share in this great and glorious ingathering into the Kingdom of God, in the future before us.

REPORT OF DAY SCHOOLS.

By MISS ELIZABETH IRVINE.

The year just closed marks the best in onr history of the day-school work. The times in China are full of oppor­tunities. Progress has been made during the year, and we would humbly acknowledge the good hand of God upon us. Four schools have been maintailled~ with a regular attend­ance of over seventy-five pupils. A fifth has also been kept open at the Margaret Williamson Hospital for convalescing children. Recently we were greatly gratified to receive into our Bridgman Memorial Boarding School one of this num­ber. Industrial work has been introduced, which has stimu­lated new interest among the pupils, and given the parents great satisfaction. Knitting and plain sewing are taught.

The new problems before us will serve as stepping-stones to higher and better things. Many and varied have been our experiences. The ages of the pupils being between that of six and thirty.,.six years. Marriages, deaths, and much sickness have all claimed due attention. Changes among our teaching staff, together with that of renting suitable buildings, for the carrying on of onr work, have all served as tests' of faith. Great have been our privileges, in having had under onr instruction so large a number of

Skqnglzai 25

pupils seven days in the week. Saturday mornings are devoted to the preparation of the Sunday School. lesson, and the committing to memory of the Ten Commandments, Beatitudes or other Scripture selections. On Sunday morn­ing these young maidens may be seen seated in our Van Santvoord Memorial Chapel, waiting for the opening of Sunday School, for which they have gathered. We are persuaded that through this branch of work a sentiment is being created which will lend its influence on the side of Christianity, in the new order in China.

BRIDGMAN MEMORiAL SCHOOL.

REPORT.

By l\fIss CHARLOTTE 1\1. JOHNSON.

"The Lord hath commanded a blessing upon us," was the Scripture verse for the day that school closed last term, and Ott r hearts echoed the words as we recalled how the Spirit of the Lord had worked in our midst since the first of the year. Every girl in school, not already a Christian, had expressed a desire to become a follower of our Saviour and the spiritual life of all deepened. Eight have been bap­tized: seven in our Van Santvoord Chapel and one in the Episcopal 1\,fission. All of the pupils have done earnest, faithful work in their studies, while their love for each other has been manifested in a ready sympathy and helpfulness.

We have almost the four thousand dollars (~1 exican) re­quired to build the new dormitory and hope to begin soon after the China New Year. This amount has been nearly all received from the Chinese. The former pupils as well as those now in school have helped as they could. As one said: "If old pupils do not help, who will?" It seems fit­ting to add, "Since they have, will not others also help?" Our need is so pressing that this building will be a great advantage. We really need ten thousand to erect the school

26 Shanghai

buildings we ought to have, to make our work count for the most.

Our numbers during the past year have been sometimes as high as forty. The tuitions received from the Chinese show an increase over the preceding year. The amount from July I, 1906, to July I, 1907, was $1,063.50 (Mexican).

It was a pleasure to have one of the graduates of our Yokohama School with us at our second commencement, January thirtieth. A class of four faithful Christian girls were given diplomas from the Chinese course. Two of these girls were soon after married in our Chapel. One who lives near, is teaching one of our day schools. The other two, wishing to gain a more efficient knowledge of English, have continued in school as pupil-teachers. They have rendered much assistance, for now that all pupils study English the number of classes has increased and they have helped in teaching beginners, not only in Chinese, but also in English. There has been such a demand for teachers that another pupil, who had nearly completed the course, was permitted to begin teaching a day school in another mission where the need was urgent.

One of our former pupils, whose mother was one of our first n'ative teachers, sailed for America August fourth and is now studying in a private school in Beverly, :Mass. Her parents hope that she may later study medicine and return to be a g~eat help to the women of this land.

Several of our pupils who have wished to receive baptism have met with much opposition from their heathen relatives. Will you not particularly remember these girls in your prayers? It is with thankfulness for the blessings receive<;l this last year that we ask you to continue in prayer for greater blessing upon us; that each girl may live a conse­crated Christian life and be used by God to bring many other souls into His kingdom.

REPORT OF' THE GIRLS' BOARDING SCHOOL.

By MISS l\1ARY E. TRACY.

ll,fissionaries: Miss Julia N. Crosby, Supt.; :Miss Mary Tracy, Asst. Supt.; Miss Clara D. Loomis, Principal of School; Miss Florence Wells (part of the year) ; Miss S. A. Pratt, Supt. of Bible School; Miss Clara Alward (part of the year).

As we look back over the work of the past year we feel that it has been a prosperous one, and full of great blessing to us all. During this year the number of pupils has in­creased to 124, the largest number yet recorded. While our numbers have grown we can also truly say that there has been an increased interest in the best things.

We enjoyed a visit from Dr. H. Agnew Johnston in January and were greatly helped by the course of talks which he gave in Doremus Hall. Following his visit there was a decided awakening with regard to spiritual matters, and at the special request of the girls, a weekly prayer­meeting, which had for a while been discontinued, was revived, and informal meetings for prayer have been held daily at 8 a. m. While these meetings have not always been largely attended, yet those who came were earnest, and all have felt the blessing which has come from such a ser­VIce.

During the year sixteen girls have been baptized and there are a number who have wished to receive baptism, but have been prevented by their parents or guardians.

During the year the school sustained the loss of one of its foreign teachers, as Miss Strain entered other work. Her place has been filled by Miss Florence Wells, who joined our Mission in September, and while taking up the arduous task of studying the Japanese language, has also begun her work of teaching in the school.

Yokohama

During the past year we lost our Japanese teacher of science but his place has been ably filled by a graduate of the Tokio Normal School who came to us with highest references and who promises to make good all that was said about her.

Of the six girls who graduated in April, four have returned to their homes, one has become a teacher in this school, where she is doing good work, and the other, after working as assistant to a missionary in the country for three months, decided to become a Bible woman .and has entered our Bible School as a regular pupil.

As many of our girls have become much interested in the work of the Y. \"1. C. A. and have been greatly helped by the annual conventions of that association which a num­ber have attend~d, at the request of the young teachers and students, it seemed well to form a branch of that society in the school.

As it is one of the principles of the Y. '''I. C. A. not to enter where there is another Christian society, after much thought and due consideration it was unanimously voted to discontinue the Temperance Society, which seemed to have largely outgrown its usefulness in this school. In Oc­tober the Union Girls' School, Y. ¥l C. A., is now a work­ing society with the four committees of Prayer, Missions, Temperance and Literature, chosen from the girls, to dire~t its work. The first work which this association has set for itself, is to win all members of the school to become Chris­tians.

There are three Sunday Schools for street children which are cared for and taught by the young teachers and older students.

Realizing that Japan has a great work to do in helping on the advancement of Christ's Kingdom and feeling that the Japanese should know of conditions and work in othel;" countries. a Mission Study class has been started among

Yokohama

the teachers. As Miss Wells had attended such classes in America and knew' the best ways of conducting the work, she will act as leader. Africa was chosen for the first year's work and although we have been greatly hampered by being able to obtain only one copy of the text-book on that country all the teachers living in the dormitory who under­stand· English have joined the Class and take part in each meeting with great enthusiasm. The effect of the study has already been shown, as what was learned in the class has been given to the scholars in their missionary meeting.

Another result of the year's work" while not coming directly under the head of our school work, ought to be included in a report of the mission. This is the conversion and baptism of five of our servants, all of whom show by their changed lives that Christianity has become a very real thing to them. Daily morning prayers and the mid­week evening meeting, both held for the servants, are attended regularly by almost all of those employed on the place.

While we have had some discouragements in our work, yet our blessings have been so many that we go forward to a new year., thankful that we have been given this work to do, and hoping for greater joy to be found in the coming year.

THE BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL AND EVANGELISTIC WORK.

REPORT.

By MISS SUSAN AUGUSTA PRATT.

60 Bible Women. I am glad to be able to report a year of advancement in

every line of work. In the Bible Training School the students have done

good, thorough work and a class of four was graduated in June, having finished the prescribed course of· study. Our Bible students have had charge of several Sunday Schools

30 Yokohama

in Yokohama, and much interest has been shown in them. At Christmas time all the children from. these schools gath­ered in the upper rooms of Pierson Chapel and had most enthusiastic exercises, consisting of hymns, little essays, written by themselves, and recitations. At the close, gifts were distributed to each one from a wonderful treasure­boat, to the delight and satisfaction of all.

The Bible students visit in connection with four churches in Yokohama and conduct a weekly meeting in a large fac­tory. A new work has recently been started among the women prisoners at . Nigishi near Yokohama, I3.Ild also among the girls in the Reformatory School. Two elderly Bible women visit the prison and teach the women by turn, while the girls are taught by a younger Bible woman. A number have been converted as a result of this work and sentence has been commuted for good conduct. The War­den of the prison, an earnest Christian man, testifies that the prisoners are becoming easier to manage since this Christian work has begun. A Woman's Meeting has recently been started in the Warden's house with good results.

During the Summer the students did practical work in several country villages, and many letters of thanks and gratitude have been sent to me showing appreciation of work done.

This Fall we had our regular Christian Workers' Confer­ence, attended by all our Bible women from the country, our students, and by many from the different schools in Yokohama. The results have been seen in the deeper consecration of the students. As usual, class-prayer meet­ings have been held, also a weekly school prayer-meeting conducted by the students.

We now have a number of trained workers scattered throughout Japan who send carefully prepared reports to me each month. The Bible Women by' regular. house-to­house visitation and methodical teaching have been able to

Home 31

lead'many of the Christians to a deeper faith and knowl­edge of Christ, while unbelievers have become interested and we can report a number of baptisms.

I have made several evangelistic trips to our country sta­tions holding special meetings for both Christians and unbelievers, also doi1).g much visiting in the homes. We have been making special efforts to improve our Sunday Schools arid children's meetings.

One cause for gratitude this past year was the coming of Miss Clara Alward to the Bible Training School. Teach­ers and students gave her a glad welcome and we feel that God will use her here and make her a great blessing to us all.

More and more do we feel that we are all workers together and we would ask for special prayer that this work may give glory and praise to Jesus Christ.

The year has been a memorable one for us at home. who send out and maintain our missionaries. Fatehpur, a new station in India, has been opened for rescue work and gen­erous hearts have quickly responded. In all our stations, many women and child-wives come to us, in circumstances so deplorable that help is imperative. Recognizing these conditions, our India missionaries as a body urged upon us the necessity for an especial place for this class. Miss Todd was set apart for the work and will be ably supported by Miss May and :Miss Jones, who have recently joined her.

Two parties of reinforcements have been sent out during the year-Miss Clara Alward, who is appointed to assist in our Yokohama, Japan, Bible-School, and Miss Florence Wells, who represents us in our school at 212 Bluff. These sailed in August.

A second party left us October 13th for India-Miss M:ay returning from furlough and accompanied . by new rein-

·32 Home

forcements---':""Miss Margaret Jones, :Miss Adaline Owen and l\fiss Lillian Norton.

Dr. Emily Garner recovered her health sufficiently to . return in August to our Margaret Williamson Hospital in Shanghai, China.

Death 1. -::. removed from us many warm and loyal friends whose active co-operation meant much to us. Three Vice­Presidents are among the number-Mrs. Mahlon D. Stam-­bach, who so ably sustained our Kentucky Branch in Louis­ville; ]\I[rs. Wilbur Chapman, whose grandmother, ]\1rs. Pruyn, organized our Japan :Mission, and]\1rs. C. C. Hine, also the President of our Newark Auxiliary. Many who have loved our cause from its organization and had in years and service grown ripe for heaven, have . left sadly vaca.~t places. Among them we name Mrs. M. H. Bergen, ]\1rs. W- H. Woodruff.

For those of us who remain the call comes to deeper consecration and more unremitting efforts. In the words of Rev. Walter L. Lingle, D. D., each of us should say, "I believe in foreign missions because Jesus believes in them and I believe in Him. In :Matt. 28: 19 and 20, Mark I6: I5 and Acts I: 8 there is no uncertain sound. Not only do these verses convince me that Jesus believes in foreign missions, but they lead me to believe that is the cause which lies nearest to His heart.

I believe in foreign missions because Jesus has taught me a prayer which I cannot pray with an honest heart and then turn away and say I do not believe in foreign missions. "Our Father, which art in heaven." Whose Father? The Father of all His children, and His elect in every nation under heaven: Can you say it, and then say:, aI do not care whether multitudes of His children ever hear of their Father and His wonderful love"? "Hallowed be thy name." Now you are 'praying that His name be above every name in-heaven and earth. ('.,an you say it, and in the same

Home , <: .'" 'y", "I ,

breath say that you do not care whether t'" &rJaT majoI:itY:/ of the human race ev~r hear of His name? "Thy kl11gdom come, thy will be done 011< earth as it is in heaven." We are now praying that all the kingdoms of this world may become the kingdom of our Lord, and that He may come and reign in power and in glory. Can you pray it, and then say that you do not believe in lifting a hand for the advance­ment of that 'kingdom among two-thirds of the kingdoms of this world?

I believe in foreign missions because I believe in the brotherhood of man. The man across the sea is my brother, and I am taught in many ways that I am my brother's keeper. I have been put in trust with the Gospel. Shall I withhold it from my brother? Your brother across the sea is without God, without Christ, and without hope, and he is dying, will you, like the priest and the Levite, pass by on the other side?

i'I believe in foreign missions." That ought to be an article in every Christian's creed. If you cannot say it then, say: "Lord, I believe, help Thou my unbelief." If we can say it, then let us understand that this conviction puts us under a tremendous obligation. It means that we ought to be praying for foreign missions, giving to foreign missions, preaching foreign missions, and laying ourselves upon God's altar to go as foreig-n missionaries if He calls. "Here am I, Lord, send me, send me!"

Report of Morristown Auxillary and Newark Branch 39

MORRISTOWN (N. ].} AUXILIARY.

Se~retary's Report.

The year 1907 will go down in history as the year in which one (If our members went to the foreign field. Early in October Miss Adeline Owen, after farewell meetings both here and in New York, ~ailed for India. Word was received by cable three weeks ago of her safe arrival in Cawnpore. Let us never forget to support her with our prayers.

Much to our regret our President, Mrs. Proudfit, was obliged to resign in the spring. Later in the year both Treasurer and Secre­tary resigned. Notwithstanding these discouragements the usual number of meetings have been held, three new members gained, a hox valued at $45 sent to Cawnpore, and raised altogether.

Three of our members have died, yet most alive are they for they have entered upon the "life immortal"-Mrs. Bradford, Mrs. Randolph, and Miss Agnes Humphreys.

As the ranks of the older members are thinning, most gladly do we welcome our new members.

With a renewed sense of obligation, plus loyalty and love, may we remain faithful to our pledges, and to the Master we serve.

Lucy N. MORRIS, Secretary.

'FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

PHILADELPHIA BRANCH

OF THE

Womants Union Missionary Society.

FROM the" Margaret Williamson Hospital," Shanghai, China, comes the following interesting report, through Dr. Reifsnyder: "The year- just closed has been a very busy one. Nearly

fifty thousand patients have been seen at the Dispensary, of which number more than thirty thousand were new cases. Seven hundred and forty-one were admitted to the wards of the Hospital. The Chinese like to take medicines; hence, we fill tens of thousands of prescriptions, and often make eighty pounds of ointment at one time. We have competent Chinese who can do the greater part of this work now. The daily average in the Dispensary was about one hundred and sixty-three; and, as we have especially earnest women to speak to the waiting congrega­tion, we feel sure of the promise, ~ My word shall not return unto me void. ' The evangelistic work is not confined to the preaching to the patients waiting to be seen as they come da~ly, but much bedside instruction is given, and the knowledge thus gained cannot be measured. We have many children, and how interesting most of them are! Often they are deserted by their parents, and then we adopt them, and they become ' Williamsons.' "

"One of the most important events of the year has been the return to us of Dr. Garner, in greatly restored health, as she is a very important part of our work."

4 REPORT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH.

Dr. Ernst writes from )hansi, India: ' , During the past year the work at the Mary S. Ackerman Hoyt Hospital has shown a decided increase in the number of patients treated in its wards, in the number of operations performed, and in the contributions by the patients to the hospital funds. Our surgical work is attracting women and children from long distances, and when our new surgical building shall have been erected in the course of another year, full and adequate provision can be made for aU who come. It is a real joy to help a patient on to her feet and give her a lesson in walking, which an operation has made possible, after she had only been able to get about on her knees for months or years. We have operated on many such patients suffering from deformities of the lower extremities, due to severe burns. India is an "awful country for burns, as the clothing of its people is of the lightest kind, and arranged in such a manner that it easily catches fire.

"There were seven baptisms during the year, and many others showed evidences of spiritual enlightenment and an increasing desire to learn more about the One who loved and died for them.

"Both the Dispensaries were kept going throughout the year; and as the ' rainy season,' the most unhealthy part of the whole year, was practically lacking, the number of patients attend­ing was somewhat less than in 1906. All of these, as well as the in-patients, heard the Gospel preached daily, and thus, counting the friends who accompanied them, about ten thousand different persons were taught the Way of Life.

"The School and Zenana work continues about as last year. Many more Zenana women wish to be taught, and day schools are needed in many places; but no advance can be made unless more funds are forthcoming for this important department of the work.

" The growth in the Sunday Schools is particularly encourag­ing. They now number eight, with an average attendance of two hundred and eighty-seven.

REPORT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH. 5

" The Training School for Nurses, under its new superintend­ent, Miss Ella Morrison, has ten nurses under instruction, and promises to be a most useful branch of the work.

, 'In closing, I wish to thank all the kind friends who during the year helped us by their prayers and their generous gifts, and I ask the Father's richest blessings upon the gifts and the givers. He has shown Himself mindful of our needs, and I praise His Holy Name."

Miss Wishart sends the following report from Allahabad, India:

"The specific objects which the Philadelphia Branch supports in Allahabad are so varied and many, that I scarcely know which one to begin telling you about. I am able to give the best report of your Agnes Hurlbut School in two years. The attend­ance, order and study along all lines is far in advance of last year. This school is divided into two sections, primary and advanced. They have completed their Lesson Stories on the Life of Christ, a book of Bible verses, and a Catechism. The Primary section of this school has three four-year-old prodigies in it, who are so clever in answering questions from the Life of Christ, and in repeating Bible verses, that one needs to hear them, to believe that such tiny tots know so much.

" Caro Banner, one of your workers, is doing faithful service still as a Zenana Bible teacher, teaching in four languages-English, Bengali, Urdu, and Hindi. Her pupils do her credit, and her sweet spirit and gentle manner win many warm friends for her among her women.

" Agnes Wybrow is a worker any Mission might envy, as near the ideal Zenana Bible teacher as a human being could possibly get. Just before vacation I examined all her pupils, a number of whom were taking a special course in Scripture memory verses, and a special list of questions on the principles of the Christian religion. I would have given a great deal if those who are contributing to

6 REPORT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH.

her support could hear the examination. If every Mission had such teachers as this, the Hindu and Mohammedan religious teachers might well tremble for their own religion."

Each month since work re-opened, our reports have shown an increase of more than one hundred new pupils in Zenanas and schools. Our aim is to reach all of the thirty-six thousand women and children in Allahabad, which. is our proportion, with the Gospel as soon as possible. How it is to be done we cannot tell ; but we ask for large things, believing He will in some way accom­plish that which is surely His will.

Miss Todd has opened a new st3:tion at Fatehpiir, India, and is deeply interested in the work there. She writes enthusiastically of her Zenanas, her schools, her own bungalow, through which the rains penetrate, to the disparagement of her personal posses­sions; of her companions, the scorpions, centipedes, lizards, immense hairy spiders and snakes; but says: ' 'However, there is much to praise God for I and He has worked wondrously for us in many ways, and it is all of Him that we are here and have part of our work begun and needs met. "

We sent one hundred dollars to Mrs. Winsor, of Sirur, India, and the same amount to Miss Higby, of Tharrawaddy, Burmah, as for many years past. Value of Mission boxes and special gifts to Allahabad, Jhansi and Shanghai, about three hundred and thirty-five dollars.
