TWENTY-FIRST

A NNUAL

REPORT

OF T H E

C orresponding

S ecretary,

For the Year Ending May /, 1895.

A t the close of this m e m o r a b l e year in the history of the W o m a n ' s Board of Foreign Missions, the call comes, “ Tell us where and h o w thou hast wrought. W h a t laborers thou hast sent into the whitening fields, what sheaves thou hast gathered.” T ha t we, as reapers, have fallen far short of our ideal w e regretfully ad ­ mit, but there has been self-denying service for our Lord, both at h o m e and abroad, and a deepening interest a nd consecration that are sure heralds of success.

T h e business depression throughout the country, and espe­ cially in s o m e parts of the West, has told in s o m e measure upon our receipts. N e v e r since the organization of our Board have our Societies been called u po n to contribute in so m a n y ways to the h o m e needs, and although there seems to have been a conscien­ tious desire on the part of all our workers to keep up to the stand­ ard of former years, yet m a n y of the reports from our Societies s h o w a decrease in their offerings; but these reports have c on ­ tained words of promise for better things in the future.

I he past severe winter has in m a n y localities m a d e it difficult for our workers to hold their meetings regularly, and m a n y inter­ esting accounts have been received from s o m e of the mo r e cour­ ageous ones, w h o refused to let bad storms, or long distances, keep them from their missionary meetings.

I o bur Board the year has brought important changes. As w e gathered for our first meeting in the early fall, we realized^ m o r e than ever before, what it m e a n t to be without a leader. Mrs. Jonathan Sturges, w h o had been our President for nearly twenty

years, had been called to the H ea venly H o m e . H e r long life of d e ­ votion to the interests of our Board had endeared her to all, and although she had been laid aside from active service for several years, yet her wise counsel, her ever-ready aid and sympathy, were an inspiration that w e sadly miss. She will always be borne in tender r e m e m b r a n c e by all w h o were associated with her, for she ‘‘W a l k e d worthy of her high calling in Christ Jesus.* In M a y last, immediately after our Anniversary, an appeal was sent to all our Societies, asking that “ Memorial D a y , ” the 30th of the month, be Observed as a d ay of special prayer for Divine direc­ tion and guidance in the mission w or k of the year upon which w e were just entering, and also that an offering be m a d e for our treas­ ury, as our receipts had fallen a little below those of previous years. T h e suggestion w as accepted by most of our societies, and in the large cities union meetings w er e held. T h a t a blessing fol­ lowed these petitions has been realized, by an increased activity in m a n y of our Societies, and the s u m of $1,221.83 w as received as a self-denial offering.

During the year the regular quarterly meetings of the M a n ­ agers have been held, and also the monthly meetings of the E x e c u ­ tive Committee. In N o v e m b e r an invitation w as extended to all our Classical Committees to m e e t with the Board, to confer together that they might have a fuller understanding of the work committed to their care. M a n y suggestions were given and received, that have been carried out with admirable results. O u r Classical Com mi tt ee s stand between the Board and our Societies, reaching out helping hands to both. Y ea r by year the labor of this C o m m i t t e e g ro ws in importance a nd influence. A debt of sincere gratitude is due to every faithful Classical C o m m i t t e e for their assistance cheerfully rendered to the Board.

In N o v e m b e r an adjourned meeting of the M a n a g e r s w as held for the election of a President. Mrs. Paul D. V a n Cleef was chosen to fill the position. She had served as one of our VicePresidents from the organization of our Board, and by her long term of service she was abundantly qualified to fill the honored position conferred upon her.

• “The resolution adopted by the Board is appended to this report.

T h e Twentieth year of our organization as a Board w as cele­ brated the Twenty-first of January, in “ T h e C h u r c h Building.� It was such a bright, happy occasion, that w e wish every m e m b e r of our Auxiliary Societies, old a nd young, could have participated in its joys. Especially delightful to those present w as the meeting face to face with nearly all our missionaries n o w in this country.

There were opening religious exercises, and the w or k of the past T w e n t y years reviewed. A financial statement w a s given, showing the growth to have been m o r e than a thousand dollars for each year. In 1875 a m o u n t received was $2,891.15; in 1894, $27,727.48; with a total of $286,210.50.

O nl y three m e m b e r s are n o w in the Board that were present at its organization.

Several Auxiliary Societies were organized the s a m e year, and have also celebrated their Twentieth birthday. T h e y have been stanch, loyal co-workers during this long period. M a n y of the mothers w h o organized these Societies have fallen asleep, but their mantle has fallen upon filial daughters, w h o are following in the footsteps of the sainted ones w h o are n o w wearing the white robes of immortality.

W e have w e l co me d to our ranks since last M a y 39 Auxiliary Societies. M o s t of t h e m are wide a w a k e and deeply in earnest, and w e are assured that they will bear abundant fruit in the future.

W e have n o w on our roll 465 Societies.

S om et im es a feeling of sadness c o m e s to us w h e n w e learn that a Mission B a n d u po n which w e d ep ended has given up its organization, a nd joined a Christian E n d e a v o r Society. W e look upon these B a n d s as children of our family, and have hoped that w h e n the years of childhood were passed, they would unite with our older missionary Societies. While this m e a n s to us a loss of their s y m p a t h y and co-operation, w e will not regret unduly if these dear children are still trained along missionary lines, and will unite with the Missionary League, that is doing such a grand w or k a m o n g the Christian E n d e a v o r Societies of our churches, and w e would most earnestly plead with all those w h o leave us, to be true and loyal to the missionary w or k that is carried on by our o~d<n denomination.

Missionary Conferences have been held in nearly all our Classes, and as far as possible one or m o r e representatives from

our Board have been present. T ha t these meetings are growing in interest is evinced by an increased attendance, and by the good cheer and fellowship that is exceedingly helpful to our Societies.

A t one of these Conferences a Classis that had been contributing but a little over seven hundred dollars annually, pledged to try and raise their offerings to three thousand dollars. T h e entire a m o u n t has been contributed, and the grand result has been attained, in a great measure, through the persistent labors of the officers of their Missionary Union. O n e of the pleasantest feat­ ures of s o m e of these Conferences has been the Children’s H o u r for the Mission Bands. T h e reports that have been read b y the little Secretaries have been bright a nd full of intelligent interest, and w h e n addressed, no speaker could have desired m o r e attentive listeners. W e cannot afford to lose our hold upon the children, a nd would it not be a wise plan to have all the Junior Christian E nd eavor Societies invited to have a share in our Missionary U n i o n meetings ?

In the Foreign field w e are supporting two Seminaries, four Boarding Schools and one N o r m a l School, beside thirteen (High Caste) Girls’ Schools. Forty-four ladies are connected with our Missions, either as teachers in these schools or engaged in evan­ gelistic work. Eight missionaries have left for our stations during the past year. T h o s e going for the first time were Mrs. Beattie, Mrs. D o d d and Miss Lily N. Duryee. T ho se returning were Mrs. Jared Scudder, Miss Julia C. Scudder, Mrs. Oltmans, Mrs. Rapelje and Miss M a r y Deyo. T h e M i z p a h benediction has been pro­ nounced with trembling lips for each and all these dear sisters ; and as the good-byes have been spoken, w e have turned a w a y with the conviction that for all this sacrifice, G o d knows, and H e will recompense.

T h e letters from our missionaries have borne witness to their faithfulness and unflinching courage, often pressing forward in the face of opposition with a perseverance that is worthy of their high calling. Sickness has laid aside some, and they have been obliged to leave their duties and go into the hill country for pure, invigorating air. In October w e w e l co me d to the home-land Mrs. Jacob Chamberlain, Mrs. William Scudder, Miss Kitty Scudder, Mrs. John Scudder, Miss Ida Scudder, and this spring Mrs. Otte,

Mrs. V a n Dyck. A s w e greet these tired laborers, and they go in and out a m o n g us, our hearts are w a r m with love for each. W e would gratefully acknowledge the willing services rendered by the Misses Kitty and Ida Scudder since their return. T h e y have been w armly w e l c o m e d by our Societies, and their words have m a d e a deep impression upon all w h o have heard them. Recently, after an address by Miss Ida Scudder, a little, w ee girl came, and leaning her head against her, said, with great earnestness, “ W on 't you let m e go back to India with you ? ” W e could give m a n y blessed and touching results from these visits if space would admit. T o our h o m e workers w e are deeply indebted for the valuable assistance freely given b y Miss M . O Duryee, Miss O. H. Lawrence, Miss Rita C o b b and Miss Lillie Cobb. N o helpers could have been m or e faithful, a nd surely none have accomplished m o r e b y their untiring labors.

T h e W o m a n ’s Prayer Meeting has been again a source of p o w er a nd influence. Excepting through the s ummer, w e have gathered in the Church Building, on the second T u e sd ay of every month, to have audience with the King. Truly H e has answered us in a kingly way, and blessings have followed. Friends from abroad w h o have dropped in to share the precious hour of song and prayer have been war ml y greeted, and w e would love to grasp the hands of m a n y m o r e of the faithful w o m e n of our church.

T h e Missionary Prayer Calendar that was prepared for the N e w Y ea r found a ready sale. O u t of the one thousand copies published but few remain. N o t only has the expense been met, ■but Fifty dollars in excess has already been paid into the Treasury.

1 he topics included the n a m e s of all our missionaries, where stationed, and an appropriate Scripture selection for every week.

A s w e reverently turn the leaves each m o n t h a nd the n a m e s of our devoted workers c o m e before us, w e s e e m to hear their oftxepeated words, “ Oh, pray for us.” F r o m far-away Arabia c om es the glad tidings that their burdens are lightened by k n o w i n g just the time w h e n prayers are ascending to the Father’s throne for them, and the s a m e testimony is borne across the seas from India, China and Japan. W e need this little monitor before us each m o n t h to m a k e us better acquainted with those for w h o m w e pray.

O u r Mission Gleaner, w e are sorry to report, is not yet quite

self-supporting, notwithstanding the earnest efforts that have been m a d e in its behalf. Twenty-seven copies of Far Hence have been given as prizes for every ten n e w subscribers. N o Society or indi­ vidual can pray intelligently without the information that is given in its pages for our Mission stations. It was truly said by one w h o realizes the value of the magazine, that “ it should be found side by side with the Bible in every family.”

During the year w e have published three leaflets, bearing the following titles : “A D a y in India,” “ T h e T o p of O n e Little Green Tree,” “ H o w the Auxiliary at Myrtle Gr o ve was F o r m e d . ” These silent appeals, with their thrilling incidents, are eagerly sought by our Societies, especially those that are given in each of the monthly p r o g r a m m e s of the Mission Gleaner. All the choicest publications from other Boards are purchased and kept to supply the needs of our workers.

In D e c e m b e r a circular letter was sent out by our Board call­ ing the attention of the Superintendents of our Sunday-schools to the importance of bringing our Foreign Mission w o r k before the children under their care at least once each month. W e rejoice to report that responses have been received from m a n y of our Super­ intendents, giving us the assurance of their hearty co-operation in the future. F r o m one Sunday-school in South Dakota, where want and destitution has pressed heavily upon them, the Superintendent sends twenty-five cents every m o n t h to our Treasury. D o e s not this bring a touch of s h a m e to us, w h o live in this favored section of our country, w h e n w e c ompare our offerings with theirs ? G o d can do wondrous things with such self-denying gifts, and truly they will receive their reward.

T h e H o m e Corresponding Secretary’s report m us t of necessity be fragmentary, leaving the Foreign reports to our three able Secretaries, to give in detail s o m e of the glorious results attained b y our missionaries in their respective fields of labor.

W e have been workers together for Christ, and rich have been the blessings granted to us. O u r efforts have been crowned with a g oo d measure of success, but w e have not yet reached the limit of our possibility or our responsibility. W h e n every w o m a n and child in our c o m m u n i o n is bearing in their hearts a burning love for the souls of the u n n u m b e r e d millions in heathen lands for

w h o m Christ died, then, and not till then, can the W o m a n ’s Board cease to plead for a higher plane of Christian living, active serving, generous giving, but far, far above all, persistent, confident pray­ ing for the c o m i n g of that d ay w h e n all can join in that n e w song, “ F or T h o u wast slain, and hast redeemed us to G o d by T h y blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, a nd nation.”

M e m o r i a m .

A t a meeting of the Executive C o m mi tt ee of the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions, R. C. A., held September n , 1894, the a n n ou nc em en t of the death of our President, Mrs. Jonathan Sturges, was received with expressions of deepest sorrow and bereavement.

Feeling, as w e do, the irreparable loss to the Board a nd to the work for which Mrs. Sturges labored so long and so faithfully— the loss of a presiding officer w h o w as at the s a m e time so winning in m a n n e r and so wise in counsel— w ho se n a m e alone was a pass­ port to confidence in any w or k to which she gave her powers, it was Resolved, T h a t w e put upon record our appreciation of her u n ­ failing interest in and strong support of the w or k carried on by the W o m a n ’s B o a rd of Foreign Missions of the R e f o r m e d Church in America.

W e shall miss her clear judgment, her liberal hand, her gracious presence, her unfailing prayers. Y et w e k n o w that our loss is her gain, that she has entered on higher service, and n o w meets the result of her labors here, in blessed reunion a nd greetings in Heaven. H e r works d o follow her. Daughters of India, China and Japan will there greet the friend w ho se face they had never seen on earth, but whose benefactions had brought t h e m salvation, and entrance in the K i n g d o m .

T h e world w as richer b y her presence : H e a v e n is richer by her entrance into it; children, friends, co-workers are richer by the legacy of her example.

Therefore, w e can praise God, and say “ It is well.” H e r work being fully done, her task well accomplished, the ripened, beauti­ fully finished life has passed into the beyond. She is not, for G o d hath taken her.

THE

TWENTY-FIRST

ANNUAL

REPORT

OF THE

F oreign C orresponding S ecretaries.

c h i n a

.

“ K n o w i n g is Loving; L ov in g is Doing.” W e bring again our record of wor k for the L or d Jesus;obedience to His will must m e a n sacrifice for others. In our R e f o r m e d Church there are one hundred thousand professed Christians, and these are represented in China by one worker toevery half million ofdying souls. H a v e w e yet entered into the m e a n i n g of our L o r d ’s words, “ T h o u shalt hear the W o r d and warn them,” “ G o ye a nd m a k e disciples of all nations.” W h e n our workers in China write, “ W e are praying for m e n a nd money, w e are losing mighty opportunities,” can we reply, “ Retreat, Retrench ? ” Rather should our w o r d be, “G o d keeping us, w e will bring ‘ Christ to China a nd China to Christ.’ ” W e have eight ladies in A m o y , Mrs. J. V. N. Talmage, Miss Kitty Talmage, Miss M a r y Talmage, Mrs. Rapalje, Mrs. Pitcher, Miss Z w e me r, Miss C a p p o n and Miss Duryee.

W e have one medical missionary a nd eleven native pastors, with ten churches and twenty-six preaching stations. There are eleven hundred Chinese communicants. M o s t of these are very poor, their average wages being but four cents a day.

In 1894 these native Christians gave for Gospel wor k Thirtysix hundred dollars.

If w e gave in proportion to our income, as m u c h as is given by these poor Chinese, w e think there would be no debt on our Mission, a nd the cry would be, “ Advance, win the K i n g d o m , for our K i n g ! ”

The Charlotte Duryee Memorial School w as opened in 1884, and has trained in the past ten years over three hundred w o m e n ; they gain s o m e knowledge of the Gospel, and return to their h o m e s to teach others to lead m o r e blessed lives.

The Girls’Boarding School at Amoy, in charge of Miss M . E. Talmage, has sixty pupils, from nine to eighteen years old. M a n y of the graduates have proved by their helpful lives what Christian training can do in uplifting the girls of China. It has been neces­ sary to open three day schools, the reason for which will be seen b y reading Ling T e ’s letter.

The Boys' Boarding School is in charge of Miss Kitty Talmage.

O n e of the pupils has publicly confessed Christ.

The Baby Home is filled with h ap py children, w h o are taught of the Saviour, w h o called the little ones unto Himself. Mrs. Pitcher and Miss Lily Duryee conduct a flourishing Sunday-school for the English-speaking children.

Mrs. T a l m a g e edits a monthly C hu rc h paper, which is proving very useful. O u r faithful Miss Z w e m e r writes gratefully of the pleasure and benefit derived from a stay in our sanitarium at Kuliang. All of our younger missionaries are helpful in evangel­ istic work, and write of w o m e n and children w h o m a y be w o n for Christ’s service. Miss C a p p o n says, “ This is a grand open field for work; w h o will c o m e and help us possess this land ? ” W e find the people losing faith in their idols. ’W a y off on the mountains a father, son and mother had found the Truth that m a k e s us free, and from their o w n experience were urging their heathen friends to accept Christ. T h e father said in dying, “ D o not be discouraged, withstand persecution, be faithful to this mighty trust.” Miss C a p p o n a nd Miss T a l m a g e climbed this long, steep mountain, and were well repaid. This people are begging that w e send s o m e one to teach them. In their Chapel where in­ cense was burned in the worship of idols, you n o w hear the voice of prayer and supplication. In closing her letter Miss C. says, “ W e have c o m e h o m e fairly stirred up, feeling the great need w e have for helpers.” So m a n y are waiting to receive the g oo d news, yet only occasionally can one of us go, to break for t h e m the Bread of Life; they s e e m so near the K i n g d o m . ” At Chiang-Chiu the w or k of our Building was stopped because

of bitter opposition to Christianity. But here, also, faith in G o d has o ve rcome great difficulty, a nd n o w the w o r k is pro­ gressing.

In Sio-Khe, Mrs. L. W . K ip and Miss Morrison are doing con­ stant and noble work. O n M a y ist, 1894, the n e w School Building was dedicated; teachers and scholars have sent their thanks to the friends whose liberality has given t h e m this pleasant home. Miss Morrison is in charge of this school, and her letters are stories of faith, earnest purpose, and the blessing that must follow.

1 he W o m a n ’s School, under Mrs. Kip, gives touching examples of the w o m e n ( m a n y over seventy years), who, through patience, persecution, and fidelity to their duties, are able to be baptized, and sent back to their far a w a y h o m e s to wor k for their Master.

T h e heathen are deeply impressed with the calm and hap py faces of the dying Christians. O n e said, “ If your religion m a k e s one die like that, w e must k n o w m o r e of it.”

Mrs. K ip concludes, “ O u r Mission has been sorely tried in losing so m a n y workers. W e are reduced to two ministers and one doctor for the three million in A m o y . W e are sadly in need of young men.”

Dr. Otte’s Hospital, and the Christian h o m e s of Sio-Khe tes­ tify mightily to the faithful w or k of our missionaries. Pleading calls c o m e to us from Thian-po and Tong-an.

The best men and women our church can send are sorely needed.

Let us be loyal in our prayers and noble in our gifts.

I hrough “ wars and rumors of wars ” our w o r k has g on e on.

Shaken with tumult as old China is shaken to-day, G o d is giving His W o r d success. A re w e with H i m in this w o r k ?

O u r L oi d calls us to self-sacrifice. “ W h o is willing to conse­ crate his service this day unto the Lord ? ” A n old Chinese w o m a n lay dying. Calling one of our workers to her, she said, “ Send the h o m e Christians this message: T h e y have not sacrificed in vain, they have not spent their m o n e y for naught; I a m soon to die, but there is no fear, I a m going to their Saviour and m y Saviour, to their G o d a nd mine. I shall tell our Saviour all their loving w or k for the poor w o m e n of China. Oh, tell t h e m their labor is not in vain.”

INDIA. This has been a year of changes in this field, and to those w h o study these changes the situation seems one of grave importance.

T h o u g h the reports from our missionaries are hopeful and encouraging there is another side. W e have, for years, been accustomed to the loving, faithful service o'f those w h o have repre­ sented us in this part of the world. N o w , s o m e of these veterans are laying d o w n their arms. T o s o m e the Lord has said: “ C o m e ye apart and rest.’’ O n e H e has taken to the everlasting rest.

W h e n in battle one falls here, and another there, w o u n d e d or dying, eager m e n rush in to fill the breach, with hearts set upon the victory. W h a t have w e d on e? W e have left those w h o are still in the midst of the struggle without reinforcements, expecting them to take India for Christ, though one after another is invalided h o m e or dies upon the battle field.

D uring the months of the past s u m m e r Dr. and Mrs. Jacob Chamberlain, Dr. and Mrs. W . W . Scudder, and Miss Kitty and Dr. and Mrs. John Scudder, with Miss Ida returned to this country for m u c h needed rest. Dr. and Mrs. Jared Scudder and Miss Julia returned to India, a nd Rev. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Beattie went out for the first time.

Early in M a r c h of this year, Dr. William Scudder w a s called to the Father’s house. T h e world k n o w s of his work, and H e a v e n has m a d e record of it. O u r s y m p a t h y for those nearest h im is deepened by the w a r m love which has g r o w n in our hearts for the daughter and niece w h o have devoted themselves so unselfishly to the h o m e societies since their return.

In Madanapalle, our W o m a n ’s Board has no representative at

present. Rev. L. B. Chamberlain is carrying the burden alone; looking after the Girls’ Boarding School, two Caste Girls’ schools and five Bible w o m e n , in addition to his o w n work. H e writes of his appreciation of Miss V o n B er ge n ’s assistance in the Girls’ School, which the teachers and scholars emphasized by a special meeting and presentation before she left for Chittoor. She also carried on the Caste Girls’ S u n d a y school, assisted by the m e m b e r s of the Y. P. S. C. E. Christian E n d e a v o r work is gaining ground in Madanapalle, and developing the w o m e n and girls especially, as they learn to take part in the meetings. T h e Fifth Anniversary of their society has just been held here, with m u c h enthusiasm, which spread into the surrounding districts.

Here, too, w e rejoice to find M a r y R a j a n a y k a m the special charge of our sisters in the Particular S y n o d of Albany, w h o are to be congratulated on the success of their zealous interest in her behalf. W it h her diploma from the M a d r a s Medical College she is already able to be of great use to Mr. Chamberlain, and her grati­ tude and delight in so doing, are very touching.

T h e Girls’ N o r m a l School, formerly in Vellore, has been m o v e d to Chittoor, where Mrs. Beattie will be in charge. Miss V o n Bergen c a m e to this station in January to assist Mrs. Beattie.

She is also very busy with Z en an a work. T h e Caste school for girls is flourishing, having a large attendance.

Dr. and Mrs. Jared Scudder, and Miss Julia were received with open arms on their arrival at Palmaner, where they fell at once to the work as if they had always been there. W e are glad to hear the g o o d report of Mrs. Scudder’s returning strength. M a y the health of these dear people be very precious in our L o r d ’s sight.

Mrs. E. C. Scudder reports great satisfaction in the schools of A m i and vicinity. T h e children s h o w m u c h enthusiasm, and are m a k i n g g oo d progress in both religious a nd secular work. A t s o m e points rival Plindu schools have been closed. T h e H i n d u girls school has m o r e than doubled its numbers, and examinations have been very satisfactory. Mrs. Scudder says : “ It is a joy to feel m a t m a n y of these girls have accurately all the principal events of Christ’s life and m a n y of his words.” A n u m b e r of houses are open to Christian visitors, and there are encouraging

signs of greater opportunities for Z e n a n a w o r k next year. She is most enthusiastic on the Industrial w o r k for boys, in which they have m et with great prejudice aud opposition. “ U p to 1890 only boys too dull to g o on in their studies were put in the industrial school. W e adopted the plan of m a k i n g all our boys spend four years in w or k a nd study, on their w a y to the high schools, and n o w our school is very popular. T h e ninety boys n o w here are devoted to their w or k as well as to their study.--W e think this great change of sentiment a m o n g our native Christians one of the most blessed results of our school work. A n u m b e r of boys will be sent out this year to support themselves almost entirely, working during the day a nd teaching at night and in the early morning.”

In Vellore w e find Mrs. W . I. Chamberlain, and w e hardly k n o w which predominates, our s y m pa th y for her natural h o m e ­ sickness for Chittoorand the heavy burden she takes up alone, with her husband, or our a m u s e m e n t at the cheery, clever descriptions of her attempts to fill the places of “ Mrs. Jared a n d Mrs. John.”

W e feel sure that, as far as one w o m a n can do the wo r k of two, or rather, four, she will do it. Already she has b eg un in a very systematic way, giving every morning but W e d n e s d a y s and Saturdays to the H i n d u schools, and doing Z e n a n a visiting regu­ larly. W i t h Christian E n d e a v o r meetings and S un da y schools, housekeeping and her dear little baby, w e can understand that she has not m a n y spare moments. She has applied to the G o v e r n m e n t to be recognized as m a n a g e r of the schools, which, though increas­ ing her labors and responsibility, puts t he m on a sounder basis and helps in the expense.

In Arcot, H i n d u opposition against the school wo r k has been m o r e marked, but Mrs. Lewis R. Scudder writes that she herself is surprised at the year’s gains. S he says, “ It is an encouraging sign for the future, that of the 908 children in all the Primary schools, 664 are non-christian.” Six m o r e schools have been established.

C h a ng es have been m a d e in Ranipet also. T h e B o y s ’ school has been m o v e d to Vellore, and the Vellore girls’ school transferred to Ranipet. T h e W . B. F. M . has purchased here a b u n ga lo w for the acc om mo da ti on of the n e w teachers w h o m w e confidently hope

to send out this year. T h e burden of the wor k n o w falls heavily on Dr. and Mrs. Scudder, and it is little w o n d e r that w e read “ T h e efficiency of these schools will be very m u c h increased w h e n ‘our y o u n g l ad y ’ can devote her time to them. W e can scarcely do more,than keep t h e m running till she arrives, as w e hope she will do before long. T h e Z e n a n a w or k here has suffered from the illness of the Bible w o m e n , but the outlook is yet good. Fifteen houses are open to Christian visits. Mrs. Scudder says, “ I a m w e l c o m e — and their only displeasure is that I will not promise to c o m e ‘next week.’”

Early in M a r c h a little son was added to the family of these dear friends. O u r hearts g o out in loving congratulation, and while w e send our prayers and best wishes for the welfare of the dear baby, w e would venture to urge upon the dear mother a cautious use of her strength in view of the n e w and overwhelming interests in Ranipet.

The schools in and about T i n d i v a n u m are doing well. T h e H i n du schools report a gain in average daily attendance, in spite of the fact that Rev. and Mrs. W y c ko ff were obliged to leave the station in charge of native helpers for three m on th s last s ummer, while they watched over the interests of the Theological Seminary and other w or k in Palman^r, until the arrival of Dr. Jared Scudder.

T h e change to a colder climate was better for t h e m and the dear little daughter, but Mr. W yckoff can hardly have enjoyed the monthly journey back and forth between the two places, which he must needs take to care for both. T h e w or k a m o n g the H in du w o m e n there has been carried on by two native w o m e n , w h o have finally succeeded in persuading a n u m b e r to learn to read. T h e y have a primer lesson and then a bit of Christ’s history, and Mrs. W yckoff writes that she has greatly enjoyed visiting t he m in their homes, and hearing their colloquial rendering of Scripture stories.

I hese w o m e n are of all sorts a nd conditions, from the bare shoulder and u n k e m p t head of the coolie w o m e n to those in silks and jewels in the houses of officials.

W h a t do we read between the lines of this short review ?

White harvest fields, over-worked but uncomplaining missionaries, opportunities which are to the church added condemnation if not embraced at once. H o w dare w e leave this field in its present

'â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

condition ? W h o l e villages are coming, offering to give up their idols and begging for a teacher. A n d Forty dollars will give one village the Bread of Life. W h o will deny herself and send it ?

W e must have men, women, money for India, now. I beseech you therefore, that ye present your bodies, not those of workers already over-burdened, but your bodies a living sacrifice— your reasonable service.

C. D e F. B u r r e l l , Foreign Corresponding Secretary for India.

JAPAN. “ Japan is n o w c om in g to be the centre of the world’s atten­ tion, and the interest of inquiring minds in regard to Japan is growing deeper, while the war with China teaches us our mission as a nation to lead the Orient in civilization and Christianity, it also tends to m a k e Japan k n o w n the world over, and the world to recognize the glory of the Island E m p i r e / ’ S u c h is the state­ m e n t of the Rev. Mr. Miyake, of Osaka.

While certain causes have checked the numerical growth of Christianity, the Spirit of Christ and His teachings are affecting every department of life in the whole nation.

O U R SCHOOLS.

Educational w o r k is not purely Educational, it is Evangelistic in a high and noble sense. E v e r y mission school is a centre of Evangelism, and its pupils are under Christian instruction, and strongly influenced to follow Jesus Christ. Mission schools are a necessity, as the G o v e r n m e n t schools are strictly secular and skeptical. T ha t the w or k carried on now, in spite of the antiforeign spirit is successful, the following reports demonstrate.

T h e Nineteenth An n ua l report of the Ferris Seminary, Yoko­ hama, gives an enrolment of 67 pupils during the year. T h e prospect of treaty revision has developed a change of sentiment in the people, in consequence thereof a considerable n u m b e r of pupils is expected in the preparatory department.

O w i n g to the practically pastorless condition of the Kaigan

Church, which the pupils attend, the spiritual state of the school has been s o m e w h a t affected. H o w e v e r five of the scholars have been baptized during the year, and there are indications that God's work will be revived, as a spirit of seriousness a nd a desire for consecration are manifest.

A m o n g the changes of the year are the return of Miss T h o m p s o n from America, and the release of Miss B r o k a w and Miss D e y o to engage in Evangelistic work, thus reducing the n um of foreign teachers to three.

Miss T h o m p s o n reports--" Since last February, w h e n I returned, m y time has been wholly given to the wor k in the G r a m ­ m a r department. In s o m e instances results have been m or e satisfactory than in former years, due to the fact that classes are smaller, and hence greater opportunity for individual drill. M y desire is to be found faithful in the wor k of each day, and that m y influence over the pupils m a y be only for g oo d and the glory of H i m w h o m I serve as m y King.”

F r o m Miss M oulton w e learn that the thirty music pupils are m a k i n g excellent progress, and s o m e of t h e m are very ambitious.

T h e vocal classes, which comprise the whole school, are steadily advancing, and in part-singing and sight-reading, they are improv­ ing rapidly.

Mr. Booth has devoted himself to the A c a d e m i c department, rendering such assistance as he could from time to time to the other teachers, of w h o m he writes, " T h e y have all s h o w n an intelligent interest in, and faithful devotion to their work."’

Just in time for participation in the Christmas festivities, a b ox of eighty dolls from T h e K i n g ’s Daughters of the M a d is on Ave. Church, Albany, N. Y. was received and gratefully appreci­ ated.

T h e donations to Miss T h o m p s o n , while at home, have been used to purchase a n u m b e r of valuable books for the Library, and to complete the covered w a y and concrete walks between the build­ ings, thereby adding greatly to the comfort of pupils a nd teachers in wet weather.

W e would record our profound gratitude to O u r Father’s over­ ruling Providence and care, in that precious lives were spared, and no serious casualties resulted from the fire in June, and the earth­ quake which visited Y o k o h a m a three days later.

Miss Harriet M . Lansing writes from the Jonathan Sturges Seminary, Nagasaki, substantially as follows : A t a me'eting of the Mission in January, ’94, Miss D ur ye a was appointed teacher in English, while the position of vice-principal w as assigned me, thus leaving Miss C o u c h free to begin prepara­ tion for the w o r k for which she was sent out. O n e of the pupils desires to b e c o m e a “ Bible Worker,” and hopes to be associated with Miss Couch, and is n o w studying with that in view. In June three of the girls graduated, being the first w h o have completed the entire course of study. T w o of t h e m have returned to the Seminary, one to further prepare herself for Bible W o r k , and the other as teacher in the preparatory department. T h e third has been married to an earnest Christian, a teacher in one of the G o v ­ ernment schools.

T h e pupils are reported as being very studious, and apprecia­ tive of their privileges. Miss Stout, w h o has had charge of the music, gives a satisfactory statement of their progress.

T h e meetings of T h e K i n g ’s Daughters’society have been held regularly, and the funds used for benevolent work. Twenty-six of the pupils are professing Christians, and it is worthy of emphasis that “ all the scholars have respect for the religion of Jesus Christ, and s e e m to be seeking after the Trnth, and their attendance at the Bible classes is very punctual.”

Friends in the home-land generously r e m e m b e r e d the Seminary at Christmas time, there were gifts for all, and the entertainment a pleasant affair.

During the year Miss Lansing, on account of her health, has been obliged to spend s o m e time in C h i n a ; in her absence Mrs. Pieters and Miss Duryea kindly took her classes.

Reviewing the year, w e realize that the two w h o went out as entire strangers, are winning the confidence a nd love of the girls, and while they are grateful to us for our interest and prayers, w e feel assured that their work, so m u c h of it done under peculiar physical weakness, has been a blessing indeed.

EVANGELISTIC

WORK.

In April, Miss Winn settled at Aomori, and the year’s work has largely been of a pioneering nature. O w i n g to the scarcity of

of houses, an old b an k building has served as a h o m e for our brave-hearted friend, w h o is just n o w rejoicing with sincere thanks­ giving because of the appropriation of the “ Birthday Offering for house and chapel at Aomori,”— as during the past few m o n th s the preaching place w as burned to the ground, this gift is specially acceptable.

There have been the usual S u n d a y services, two Sunday Schools, weekly prayer meeting, also two weekly meetings for w o m e n . O n e of the meetings has been held at the station with the wives of the railroad officials; and G o d has set his seal upon this work. Three of the w o m e n have been converted and baptized.

In September, a little day school for street waifs w as organ­ ized. Already there are thirty-two children, and though this is an experiment, it promises well. Let us be earnest in our prayers for our co-worker, as in ways manifold she witnesses for the Gospel ; k n o w i n g that “ no worship, song or glory, touches like the simple story.”

F r o m Morioka, w e hear of the continued labors of Mrs. Miller, and the acceptableness of the “ Glad Tidings ” which she edits so ably. It has n o w a monthly circulation of 6600 copies, and the “ Little Glad Tidings,” 9000.

In the A u t u m n , w e find Miss Brokaiv with characteristic courage locating at Ueda, where she w as received with kindness by the native Christians.

Within a radius of the town there are 30 villages, and o w i ng to the n e w passports, these places are ac­ cessible. Already in two of the villages, S u n d a y Schools have been opened, with an aggregate attendance of about 180.

T h e m u c h sought for kindergarten teacher has been found, and it is expected that this w o r k will be self-supporting.

O n the 4th of April, Miss Deyo, after a year of loyal w or k at home, started on her solitary voyage across the Pacific, to join Miss Brokaw, and engage in royal service for the w o m e n and children she had learned to love. Let us be mindful of their oft repeated request— “ D o pray for us, w e need your prayers.” Shall w e not ask H i m to “ Multiply the loaves they take, As in their Master’s stead, They give the starving heathen flock Our Heavenly Father’s bread.”

Miss Couch has been assigned to Saga, where she expects to g o in the near future with Rev. and Mrs. Oltmans, w h o have returned to Japan. T w o h o m e s in our Nagasaki Misson have been gladdened during the year by the advent of little ones.

In closing, an allusion should be m a d e to the significant facts that permission has been granted, allowing the distribution of the H o l y Scriptures in any, and all of of the garrisons of the Empire, and the appointment of Christian chaplains for the army.

This fresh impetus given to Bible distribution is preparing the w a y for greater and mo r e aggressive Evangelistic w o r k in the days to come, and not far hence. M a y w e be found ready to respond w h e n the larger opportunities offer. ‘‘O wo m an hearts that keep the days of old In living memory— can we stand back W h e n Christ calls? Shall the Heavenly Master lack The serving love which is our life’s fine gold?”

CLASSIS O F A LB A N Y .

W e are pleased to note in m a n y of the Societies an increase in interest and in gifts. T h e one will surely follow the other, and the m o r e there is of devotion to the L or d and of His Spirit in the work, the m o r e abundant will be the fruit. In s o m e of the Soci­ eties especially there has been a deeper realization of the privilege a nd p ow er of prayer in behalf of the wo r k a nd the workers. T w o n e w Auxiliaries have been formed, and two delightful Conferences have been held.

A review of the w or k of the past year shows most gratifying results. Notwithstanding the financial depression, contributions have been increased.

T h e annual Conferences are of great value to all the Auxiliaries, and a stimulus to m o r e earnest work. Miss L a w re nc e was with us w h e n w e m e t at Greendale last October, and her message was an inspiration to greater w o r k for the Master.

T h e missionary w or k in our Classis and in each church is so systematized and so earnest that w e trust a period of enlarged usefulness is before us. T h a n k i n g G o d for His help in the past, and hoping for His blessing in the future, w e enter upon another year of work.

T h e great financial depression has very m u c h affected our Foreign work, so that while the H o m e w or k has increased, the receipts for the Foreign Board have fallen off. This w e regret exceedingly, but hope to reach our m a r k in the year to come. T w o n e w or reorganized societies report this year, while four have failed so to do. O nl y two report an increase in gifts over those of last year.

Eleven of our twenty-five churches are struggling to sustain themselves in the foreign population, which crowds our suburbs, but in time w e hope they will be able to form auxiliaries to aid in the w o r k of our W o m a n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board.

S o m e of our societies have tasted the real blessedness of m a k ­ ing sacrifice for our Saviour a nd King. W e are learning a n e w spirit of union and c o m m u n i o n , and w e believe G o d will work through us in greater measure this c o m i n g year.

CLASSIS O F N E W

BRUNSWICK.

Number of Churches, 12.

Number of Auxiliaries, 20.

This year three n e w Societies have b e g u n life, in the H i g h ­ land Park Church, the S econd C hurch in N e w Brunswick, and the C hu rc h at Middlebush. But one church in the Classis is not represented.

T h e faith which is working in the n e w efforts is the greatest cause of praise.

T h e falling off in the Gleaner subscriptions is the chief object of care and defence. T h e Gleaner is almost necessary to the life of an Auxiliary. B y a comparison between the individual reports a nd with reference to last year, it is seen that the largest propor­ tional m e m be rs hi p a nd gifts are where there is an interest in F o r ­ eign Missions, and not in proportion to the size or wealth of the

church. W e want the Spirit of the Lord on the indifferent w o m e n in the churches, mo r e than anything else, this c o m i n g year.

CLASSIS O F O R A N G E .

T h e reports of the year d o not s h o w a m a r k e d increase of re­ sults, as figures tell the story. There is, however, an evident growth in knowledge, in activity, and in love for the work. F o u r ­ teen Societies have reported. In the Classis there are twenty-two churches, so that eight churches are yet without a W o m a n ’s M i s ­ sionary Society. During the year no n e w organizations have been formed.

There are 121 subscribers to the Gleaner.

T h e Classical Union, held last fall at Wrutsboro, w as a most delightful, helpful meeting. It was said by all to be the best con­ ference yet given in our Classis.

CLASSIS O F P A R A M U S .

Judging from the reports sent us by the Societies in our Classis, the interest in the w or k of Foreign Missions has in nowise diminished. There are twenty-five churches in our Classis (four of these are Holland Churches). W e have seventeen Societies, a nd six Mission Ban ds of y o u n g people, w h o have been specially active this year, showing in m a n y w ay s their zeal for the work.

Although the reports are so encouraging, the a m o u n t contributed is not as large as last year, no doubt on account of the financial depression. Perhaps if what w as given as a “ Special Birthday Gift ” was known, our a m o u n t would be greatly increased.

Several of the Societies have had the pleasure of having one of our missionaries address them, native helpers have been cared for, and boxes valued at $145 have been sent from three of the Societies.

T h e n u m b e r of m e m b e r s (reputed) 569, in addition to which

three of the churches consider every w o m a n in the congregation a m ember.

Contributions, $1,503.61. subscriptions (reputed) 123.

O n e n e w Auxiliary has been formed in the R e f o r m e d Church at Paramus.

T h e fourth annual meeeting of our Missionary U n i o n was held on the eighteenth of April, in the R e f o r m e d C hu rc h at Piermont! In the m orning a most interesting address by Mrs. L u c y S. Bainbridge w as listened to, a nd at the afternoon session w e had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. V. M . W . S u y d a m , Miss D u r ye e of Newark, and Miss Ida Scudder. T h e day w as a most enjoyable and profitable one.

CLASSIS O F P H I L A D E L P H I A .

Y o u r C o m mi tt ee is glad to report an increase in me m be rs hi p (40) and in contributions ($37.48) for the past year. In consider­ ation of the financial depression of the past year, this is a cheer­ ing indication of the w a r m interest of the w o m e n of our churches in the Mission work. O n e Secretary, especially, mentions the interest the m e m b e r s of her Society have taken in following the monthly topics. W e cannot, perhaps, express the feelings of our Auxiliaries better, than in the words of one of our Secretaries, ** Trusting in our H e a v e n l y Father for complete consecration, w e hope to be able to accomplish m o r e in the c o m i n g year than in the P astM rs. Jo h n H a r t .

CLASSIS O F P O U G H K E E P S I E .

O f the eleven churches in the Classis seven have reported Auxiliaries to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions. T h e Second R e f o r m e d Church of Poughkeepsie has also a Y o u n g People's Missionary Society, a nd the churches of Fishkill Village!

Fishkill-on-Hudson and Millbrook each a Mission Band.

There are three hundred a nd sixty-seven m e m b e r s reported.

3 l the Gleaner is taken in sixty three families, a nd nine hundred and eighty-eight dollars and thirty-one cents have been given to the Foreign W o r k .

CLASSIS O F RARITAN. I a m h ap py to report that most of the Societies write of faith­ ful and earnest w or k accomplished during the past year. Meetings have been regularly held, in spite of difficulties and hindrances which s e e m almost insurmountable.

A t L e b a n o n the Mission B a n d is changed into a Junior C. E. Society. I trust they will do g oo d Mission work. T h e n e w Society at South Branch, organized in June, testifies to the energy and zeal of pastor and people.

CLASSIS O F R E N S S E L A E R .

T h e missionary interest is growing in this Classis, though not as rapidly as w e wish. It has been our hope and prayer that w e might report this year an Auxiliary in every church. W e trust it m a y not be far in the future w h e n this result shall be accomplished.

Three churches still remain without Auxiliaries. T w o n e w Soci­ eties are w el comed to our ranks. O n e in Kinderhook giving great promise, because of their n e w plan. T h e y have six y o u n g girls w h o solicit one cent per w e e k from the ladies of the congregation.

T h e y also hope to secure twelve lady managers, in order that a different lady m a y conduct each meeting for a year. T h e y have m a d e good use of their C. E. Society (which has the s a m e officers) in securing $35 for their bed in Dr. Otte’s hospital. T h e other n e w Society has just been organized at Stuyuesant Falls, one of our smaller churches, and is a great encouragement to us.

M u c h of the growing interest is due to the Missionary Confer­ ence held at Castleton last October, where the large n u m b e r assembled listened to the earnest, soul-stirring words of Mrs. Bartlett, Miss Lawrence, Miss Deyo, Mrs. H o r t o n and Miss

Anderson. A Classical Missionary U n i o n was formed there, which w e feel confident is the beginning of deeper interest, fuller sympathy, quickened prayer and m o r e consecrated giving a m o n g our churches.

M r s . J. H . V a n D o r e n .

CLASSIS O F S A R A T O G A .

Interest in the w o r k seems to have “ held its o w n ” during the year, but no n e w Societies have been formed. A helpful and inter­ esting meeting of the Classical U n i o n was held at Gansevoort in October. T h e recent “ tour” of Dr. Scudder a m o n g the churches of the Classis will no doubt bear fruit which will appear later on.

M r s . F. C. S c o v i l l e .

CLASSIS O F S C H E N E C T A D Y .

T he re are thirteen churches in this Classis ; in all but one there are Auxiliaries to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions.

T h e re are fourteen Societies and two Mission Bands.

T h e contributions for Foreign Missions alone this year a m o u n t to $465.93. T h e Gleaner subscriptions reported are 64.

T h e interest in Missions is steadily a nd healthfully growing in the Classis. T h e earnest words and consecrated lives of the mis­ sionaries w h o have spoken in our meetings have had a most blessed influence, and will bear rich fruit for years to come. W e r e m e m b e r with gratitude the self-denying, efficient efforts of our Secretaries. Their words have c o m e to us as from our Lord, and not one has been spoken in vain. W h o k n o w s but hidden away, and only k n o w n to G o d in prayer, is lurking the spirit of the “ Martyr Church ” of the Netherlands.

M r s . A. C. S e w a l l .

CLASSIS O F U L S T E R .

There are nine Auxiliaries to the W o m a n ’s Board of Foreign Missions in this Classis of fifteen churches. I a m sorry to say there are no n e w organizations this year. O n e Ladies’ Banner Society sent us the a m o u n t of their contribution for this good cause. 1 *r o m s o m e of the Auxiliaries cheering reports are sent of

growth, earnestness and joy in the blessed work. Contributions for Foreign work, $557.61.

M r s . S. N. F i e r o .

CLASSIS O F W E S T C H E S T E R .

In reviewing the w or k of the past year, it is very gratifying to note a general increase of interest. In m a n y cases the contri­ butions are larger than ever before, the total a m o u n t reported being $937.48.

There are thirteen (13) Auxiliaries a m o n g the sixteen churches of this Classis, beside the Sunday-schools of the Bronxville, Fordh a m and First Tarrytown, churches. O n e of the stronger Societies has failed to send any report,— that fact, with the discontinuance for this year of the Y onkers Mission Band, which n u m b e r e d 348 members, m us t account for the apparent decrease in membership, two hundred and eighty-five (285) m e m b e r s being reported.

T h e list of subscribers to the Gleaner has grown, a nd n o w n umbers one hundred and seventeen (117).

A special appeal for the w o r k at A o m o r i m e t with a very g en ­ eral response, several of the churches in which there are no regu­ larly organized Auxiliaries contributing. A n o th er year w e hope to include these churches in our list.

A pleasant feature of the Eleventh A nn ua l Convention, held last October in the church at F o r dh am , w as the presence of a n u m ­ ber of the m e m b e r s of both Mission Boards,— each of these ladies w as presented, and spoke a few words to the delegates, w h o were brought m u c h nearer the heart of the w o r k in thus meeting its representatives face to face. A n o t h e r of the privileges of the day w as that of listening to Misses Kitty a nd Ida Scudder, Miss D e y o a nd Mr. Fagg, all of w h o m a w o k e m u c h enthusiasm b y their earnest words.

T h e whole Classis has been sadly bereaved in the death of Mrs. Joseph A. Harper. O n e of the Classical Committee, organ­ izer and President of the Greenville Society, she freely spent time a nd strength in the M as te r ’s cause, working always with an enthu­ siastic zeal which aroused others to active interest and effort. W e can but strive to carry on those labors to which she gave herself, a nd ourselves verify the words, “ her works do follow her.”
