The plans for the Commemoration of the Completion of One Hundred Years since the commencement of organized Foreign Missionary Work have been set forth in the Annual Reports of the Board for 1930, 1931 and 1932. In this Report we record the events consummating this Commemoration in the special Services held during the session of General Synod, June, 1932, in the historic First Church of Kingston, New York. These were gathered about the Public Services in which the Delegates to General Synod were invited to participate.

On Sunday evening of June 5th a Solemn Service of Thanksgiving was held, presided over by the President of General Synod. Greetings were presented on behalf of the General Synod by its President; of the Boards of the Reformed Church by the Rev. James S. Kittell, Secretary of the Board of Domestic Missions, and of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Mis­sions by Miss E. P. Cobb, the Corresponding Secretary. The Sermon was preached by the President of the Board, the Rev. Henry Evertson Cobb, who chose for his text for this Commemorative Address passages from Psalms 96, 97 and 99.

A second Service of a more distinctly historical character was held on the evening of Monday, June 6th, presided over by the President of the Board of Foreign Missions. At this Service Greetings and Messages of congratulation were presented on behalf of the Boards of Foreign Missionsorganized in Europe and America before our Board. These were:U. S.

A response was made in behalf of the American Societies by Dr. RobertE. Speer, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board, and on behalf of the British Societies by Dr. James Endicott, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis­sions of the United Church in Canada. There followed Messages, accom­panied in some instances by tokens on embroidered linen and carved wood, from the various Missions of our Church, presented in person by represen­tatives of those Missions. These Messages also included congratulatory communications from the Churches in these fields of Asia to whose organiza­tion the missionaries of our Church have made large contributions. These documents, together with the Messages received from the Boards of Foreign Missions in Europe and America, have been carefully preserved and will make valuable additions to the archives of our Board.

Two especial Guests of Honor were present at this Historical Service: the Rev. James L. Barton, D.D., Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, under whose auspices the work of our Board had been carried on for the first twenty-five years after its organization, and the Rev. Paul de Schweinitz, D.D., Secretary of the Moravian Missions for America, whose first Mission was organized in 1732 and which was thus celebrating its Bi-Centennial at the time of our Centennial Commemoration.

This Service was concluded with an Address upon The Challenge of the Century by the Corresponding Secretary of the Board.

While the Board held before its constituency the aim of a Centenary Fund of $100,000 the financial limitations of the year naturally prevented great emphasis being laid upon this Fund. The total amount received has been about $45,000.

An event of the year much discussed in the Home Church, as also on the mission field, has been the Report of the Appraisal Commission of the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry. This Inquiry, it should be understood, was a voluntary and unofficial movement on the part of a number of mis­sionary-minded laymen in several of our American denominations. For it the Boards were asked for no financial aid, nor were they invited to assume any responsibility. Their only relationship was to request missionaries of the Churches they represented to welcome the Commission and to facilitate its work. The Board of the Reformed Church, although it had no part in its inauguration, has observed the Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry from its inception with real interest, especially in view of its announced objective, “The beginning of a new creative era in the initiative, intelligent participa­tion and effective leadership of laymen in the world mission of Christ.”

CHURCH UNION IN SOUTH INDIA 5

The Report was presented to the various Boards, not for acceptance or rejection, but for consideration. At several most critical points our Board and the Missions of our Church find themselves out of sympathy with its positions and its recommendations. Fundamentally, the point of view of the Board is not that of the Report as to the purpose of Missions, as to the relation which missionary work holds to existing religions and as to the distinctive elements of the Christian religion.

At its meeting in December, 1932, the Board adopted a statement upon the Report of the Laymen’s Appraisal Commission which was published and widely circulated in the Church.

The Board is prepared to use with freedom those elements in the Report which can aid in the improvement and advancement of its work. In pursuance of this policy, the Board has sent a copy of the Report to each mission station for careful consideration by the missionaries, who are invited to communicate to the Board the results of their consideration. It has also referred the Report to special committees of the Board who will make a careful study of its recommendations and will await response from the Missions whenever the recommendations involve the work of the field.

There can be no more pathetic and futile figure than a minister or a missionary who has missed his way or mislaid his charter. In the realm of Aim there must be certainty. Methods offer inviting and ample scope for diversity of operation, but in the matter of direction there can be only one polar star. W e hold that God is revealed in Jesus Christ and experi­enced through the Spirit and we are under obligation to pass on that good news. This obligation is explicit in the Commission recorded in the Gospels and implicit in our experience. The missionary has received the revelation, and duty and privilege alike make him a witness. The primary duty of the missionary is to proclaim, both by word and deed, the Message he has received, but his marching orders carry him beyond that frontier; he must inevitably seek to lead others into the riches of the Revelation he himself has received. Fidelity to his own convictions demands this, and he surely owes it to the people he professes to serve to let them know that his supreme desire is that they might accept Jesus Christ and follow Him. This aim seeks man’s highest good as the Christian conceives it, and when the aim is followed under the compulsion of sincere and disinterested love it vindi­cates itself. W e assent to a continued search, but the search we pursue begins in the great discovery that God is revealed in Jesus Christ Who is the real and the Living Way.

“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.”

In July, 1932, the Board received the official action of the Arcot Mission and the Arcot Assembly forwarding a copy of the Proposed Scheme of Church Union in South India and requesting an expression of opinion from the Board and the General Synod of the Reformed Church.

6 FOREIGN MISSIONS

On receipt of the Revised form of the Proposed Scheme, as arrived at in December, 1932, the Board referred the matter to a Special Committee with a view to consideration and to preparation of a Statement which, on accep­tance by the Board, would be included in its Annual Report to General Synod with a view to bringing the matter before that Body.

In view of the omission of the Session of General Synod this year, and of the impossibility of securing the expression of opinion desired from it, and of our understanding that there is no expectation of an early consum­mation of the Proposed Scheme of Union now being discussed in South India, the Board has resolved to postpone further consideration at present of this matter and to include only this simple statement of fact in its Annual Report.

As the year proceeds the essential features of this Proposed Scheme of Church Union in South India can be made available with a view to infor­mation and discussion before the next Session of General Synod in 1934.

HOME DEPARTMENTIt has been another year of keen anxiety, wherein we have shared the

experience of the whole church. The bank holiday, coming as it did just before the close of the fiscal year, was particularly alarming, threatening the withholding of large funds which are by many churches retained until the last month of the fiscal year. Fortunately the majority of the banks opened but we do not know just how much loss has been occasioned by the tying up of funds in banks still closed.

Receipts for the regular work of the Board have fallen during the past two years from $450,000 to $265,000. Strenuous effort has been made to accommodate expenses to such a rapid decrease of resources, but it has been impossible to make full adjustment, our deficit increasing by about $37,000 during these two years, to a total of $71,958.05.

The Board has spent long hours considering the problem before us. Further retrenchment appeared unavoidable and owing to the fact that America has gone off the gold standard and the cost of foreign exchange is rising, the further reductions would have to cut deeply into the whole problem of our foreign work. After mature deliberation the following policies have been adopted for the fiscal year 1933-34:

1. A budget for the fiscal year of $265,000 is adopted, equal to receipts of the year just closed.

2. No provision is made within this budget for the retirement of debt, which will have to come through the rise in the level of gifts.

3. The whole budget is drawn up in terms of American dollars, the Board not being in condition to make any guarantees of exchange rates.

4. Missionaries, to the number of about ten, are being asked to seek for the present other work at home because of the absolute necessity of retrenchment.

5. The item of Mission Work, which covers salaries of native workers and appropriations for all types of work on the field, is reduced by 20 to 25%, following a reduction less than a year ago of 15%.

6. New scales of salaries in terms of American dollars have been adopted designed to meet fairly the absolute cost of maintenance of all.

TH E W ESTERN DISTRICT 7

7. Recommendation is made to each Mission of specific items of work which in the judgment of the Board might be eliminated or greatly cur­tailed, while, following our usual procedure, the final question of allocation of available funds is left to the discretion of the Missions.

There being no session of General Synod this year, the Board brings these important decisions direct to each pastor and consistory and asks again that every effort be put forth to check the decrease of gifts and restore the higher levels which are essential if this great enterprise of the Church is not to be permanently crippled.

In particular we bring this urgent request to the churches. Carrying a large debt, our burden is made heavier by the temporary retention in so many churches of funds given for the work of the Board. The Board is in no position to make larger bank loans while waiting for the forwarding of remittances. It is imperative that monthly or at least quarterly remit­tances be made throughout the year. In the case of churches supporting missionaries we are compelled to ask that salaries be sent in regularly and in advance, if at all possible.

It is necessary to supply the church with this information, depressing as it is to learn of the serious blow which has fallen and the almost unthink­able situation of having to withdraw missionaries from work to which they have dedicated their lives. But we would not close on the note of loss and retrenchment. The Board faces the future conscious of the good hand of our Lord upon us through a century of faithful work and fully assured that His arm is not shortened. We believe, too, in the consecration of our Church to the task and are confident that the Church will rally to carry it on to new victories of faith, prayer and loving service. In the very midst of the hardest period of the year, when all workers were being asked to sacrifice a month’s salary in addition to other reductions, no less than six converts from Mohammedanism were baptized in two stations in Arabia, the greatest ingathering ever witnessed there. Let us lift up our eyes to the hills. When cometh our help? Our help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

THE WESTERN DISTRICTLast year we commented on the fact that it had been impossible to

reach all the churches by representatives of the Board because the number of furloughed missionaries who were available within this district for extended tours was not large enough. This year we have had enough furloughed missionaries to visit large numbers of churches, but very little money to send them on long tours. Their movements have been confined largely to the areas in which they resided. These missionaries together with the District Secretary managed to bring missionary messages to 185 of the 265 churches of the western district.

Receipts from this district have suffered another decrease; but we hope this will be the last before the upturn, which we hope will become apparent in the giving of the Church for its work abroad. There are many loyal friends and supporters of the work who have given really beyond their means during these hard times and who will welcome the upturn in business and industry because of the opportunity it will give them to put more into the work of the kingdom.

FINANCESR e c e ip t s

On the opposite page there appears a table showing receipts of the year. A fuller statement of financial conditions is found in the Auditors’ report on pages 52-60, but this simple statement, stripped of all technicali­ties, will perhaps be most easily understood.

It is arranged under two headings, I and II. Upon the receipts under I the Board must rely to meet the regular budget of the year; receipts under II may advance the cause of Missions just as much but that money can be spent only as we are instructed, with the exception of some legacies given without designation as permanent trust funds.

The most significant figure, therefore, in the table, is $265,117.74, the amount received toward the regular budget, a decrease of $97,108.69 below the corresponding figure of the preceding year. The Board was not able to reduce its budget as fast as the receipts fell, but succeeded in keeping the deficit of the year within $33,058.46, which was reduced to $23,058.46 by application of $10,000 of unrestricted legacies. Added to our old deficit, this makes a total deficit as of May 1, 1933, of $71,958.05.

In the fiscal year ended May 1, 1931, the Board met in full its budget of approximately $450,000 for the year and reduced an old debt of $82,528.72 to $35,019.92 by application of legacies. During the two years since, the receipts of the Board for regular work have fallen by over $185,000, yet it will be noted that the deficit of these same two years is only about $37,000, which means that the Board was able to take care of nearly $150,000 of this sharp drop in resources, which we believe represents as rapid adjustment as was practicable to a difficult situation.

The grand totals of the year again show alarming decreases; $142,025.59 less in total receipts and $125,017.59 less in total contributions from the living, receipts during these two years from the Centenary Fund being excluded. Turning again to the receipts under I, the following analysis of the falling off of the past two years is of interest:

The Board would express again its assurance of the faithful effort made throughout the church to maintain in the face of trying conditions. These figures are given here for our information, that we may all under­stand the seriousness of the problem and make concentrated effort that further recessions may not occur.

10 FOREIGN M ISSIONS

We would point out again this year that under this heading we do not include home expenditures of the Woman’s Board which do not enter into our accounts. Administration of the work resides in General Synod’s Board of Foreign Missions and the Woman’s Board turns over to us sums which they raise for a share of the budget which they assume. The total receipts shown on page 9 include only actual amounts given us by the Woman’s Board; the full total of their receipts and details of their expenditures will be published in the Year Book of that Board.

Calculated on this basis, Home Expenses, which include not only administration charges but publicity, subsidy of the Christian Intelligencer and the western papers, travel of missionaries and secretaries among the churches, etc. (for full details see page 55) amount to a little under 10J/2 per cent of total receipts. With the tremendous fall in total receipts, this percentage has risen two points this year. The Home Expense item, how­ever, has fallen from $42,644.06 in 1931 to $37,294.18 in 1932, and $32,309.81 in 1933. In the budget for the year just begun, it is further reduced to $28,281.

The per capita rate of receipts calculated upon the basis of total receipts is $1.93J ̂ as compared with $2.84 in the year preceding. Calculated upon the basis of contributions from the living, the per capita rate is $1.60 as against $2.40 in 1932.

F ie l d E x p e n d i t u r e s

Totals expended for the regular budgets of the Missions were as fol­lows: Amoy, $50,324.38; Arcot, $84,205.13; Japan, $57,873.74; Arabian, $56,339.59; United Mission in Mesopotamia, $10,725.00, a grand total of $259,467.84. The corresponding figures for the previous year was $350,936.00. This large reduction was made possible by a further drop in foreign ex­change rates, more drastic limitation of work and finally the cancellation of practically all expenditures during the month of April.

THE W OM AN’S BOARDReceipts from all sources totalled $127,186.36, a decrease of $30,191.85

below last year’s total. Included in this total are legacies of $5,257.14 and interest, $10,398.25. $86,492.50 was transmitted to Synod’s Board towardthe regular budget of the year, a decrease of $46,105.01 below the figures oi the preceding year. Contributions amounting to $4,158.19 were also passed on to Synod’s Board for specified objects. The Woman’s Board also makes appropriations direct to various interdenominational colleges, as is detailed in the Year Book of that Board.

The drastic reduction this year in the appropriations made by the Woman’s Board toward the general budget has been one of the seriously upsetting features of the year. -The causes, however, are well understood. Last year, to help meet the first serious reduction of income, the Woman’s Board with fine loyalty paid over the whole of their contingent fund of $12,000 to Synod’s Board. This year, therefore, they could do no more

M ISSIONARIES AND TH EIR M OVEMENTS 11

than turn over the receipts of the year, which fell off seriously. The pres­sure of problems created by the financial situation has broadened and deepened the cooperation of the two boards and in all the momentous de­cisions which have had to be made the representatives of the. two Boards have consulted and arrived at final conclusions unanimously.

MISSIONARIES AND THEIR MOVEMENTSAt the end of the year 1932 there were 166 missionaries in the service

of the Board, of whom 41 are ordained and 19 unordained men and 54 married women and 52 unmarried women. In addition there are 11 emeritus missionaries on the roll of the Board.

REPORT FOR 1932

The year 1932 will be known in the Amoy Mision as the year of the Communist invasion. During the first months the serious military disturb­ances were occasioned by the presence of Japanese troops in the North, but in April the attention of all South Fukien, the Province in which our Amoy Mision is situated, was drawn to the activities of the Communist armies. The months before their arrival were bright ones; in all the branches of the work new methods were being tried and the program for the year was in full swing. The Communist invasion was a sudden and severe shock. Especially among the country churches, which were directly affected, will the result of this unheaval be felt for some time unless favorable factors quickly counteract it.

In the invaded area the houses of the foreigners and of the wealthy Chinese were occupied and the goods distributed among the people. Speeches were made in the parks when the loot was given away. Slogans in charac­ters from one to six feet high were written on all available wall space in the towns and villages entered. Most of the churches in the Changchow and Sio-khe districts suffered severely as a result of the invasion and the personal losses of the Christians were very heavy. The Neerbosch Hospital

12

AM OY MISSION 13

and the Sio-khe and Changchow schools lost most of their equipment and supplies; the buildings and residences, though not damaged structurally, required much cleaning and repairing. The missionaries lost on the average about three-fourths of their personal possessions.

After the withdrawal of the Communists both the churches and the missions were prompt in reoccupying the stations and in continuing their work. The year ended with a feeling of optimism in many quarters. In 1929 Leng-na, the new station in the North River District, was captured by the Communists; in 1932 Changchow and Sio-khe were invaded. The Mission and the Church are looking forward expectantly in the hope that 1933 will see the North River District reopened to missionary endeavor.

A noteworthy event in the personnel of the Mission was the death on April 6th, 1932, of Miss Mary E. Talmage, who was in every way a link with the beginnings of the Amoy Mission. After fifty-eight years of almost continuous service Miss Talmage passed to her great reward, beloved and honored by her colleagues of the Mission and of the Chinese Church, the seed of which was planted by her father, Dr. John Van Nest Talmage.

EVANGELISTIC WORK

The Chinese Church has passed the third year of the Five Year Movement. One of the original objects of this Movement was to double the membership of the Church within five years. The very disturbed condi­tions throughout China have interfered with marked progress toward this objective, although there have been notable revivals in the Provinces of Fukien in the south and of Shantung in the north. In South Fukien during the three years of this Five Year Movement the gains in membership have been offset by the losses. The Church in the South Fukin Synod has placed the emphasis on leading the family to Christ. In the work of preaching the Gospel the opportunity has never been better. Many are asking, what has the Church to offer and what is its message for a day of transition and adjustment?

A m o y : The need of pastors is felt keenly in Amoy churches. At the meeting of Classis in the fall five young men passed their examinations and were licensed to preach, giving promise of an increasing supply in the future. During the year the Amoy churches had a one day conference for discussion and fellowship, the object being to bring the young people into closer contact with the church. The young people of Amoy have formed a “Fellowship” that they may “be united in the love of Christ so as to in­crease each individual’s enthusiasm in leading others to Christ.” Meetings have been held weekly at which members tell of their experience and en­deavor to help one another in their personal lives and in witnessing forChrist. This society has won the confidence of many church leaders.

T o n g - a n : At the time of the Communist invasion the workers in thisdistrict took refuge in Amoy. However, the work was resumed in the fallwith a great deal of energy. The Christian workers have organized into an evangelistic band. A Preachers’ Conference was held. During the year a number of requests were made for the establishment of day schools attached to the village chapels.

14 FOREIGN MISSIONS

C h a n g c h o w : The city churches of this district suffered most from the Communist invasion. Much of the church equipment was destroyed or stolen and many of the members lost heavily. The business people also suffered severely. Notwithstanding these losses, thank offerings have been larger this year than before. There are three evanglistic bands in this district. The workers in Changchow City met five times during the year for one day retreats and a general Preachers’ Conference was held in September.

S io - k h e : In spite of disturbing and disheartening circumstances the activity of the churches in this district was surprising. The realization by the pastors and preachers of the added need of the people has increased their zeal. A successful Preachers’ Conference was held at Sio-khe when the pastors and teachers were much refreshed in mind and spirit.

L e n g - n a : Since the Communist raid of 1929 it has been impossible for missionaries to live in Leng-na. Most of the time also it has been unsafe for Christian preachers to work there. In the spring of 1932 three preachers who were assigned to the Lena-na Church and its out stations went to their posts, but in less than ten days the Communist army returned and captured the city, forcing them to leave. The Eng-hok and Chiang-peng churches in the very midst of bandit armies have suffered grievously. In spite of these facts, the North River Classis was able to report a slight gain in membership and plans have been made for the resumption of work in this station.

The report of the extensive work carried on by and for women will be found in the Year Book of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions.

EDUCATIONAL WORK

In accordance with the policy adopted by the Mission, most of the schools are now under Boards of Managers composed of Christian Chinese. The members of these Boards have given this year abundant evidence of the way in which they have accepted their serious responsibility. They have helped to raise funds for .new buildings as well as funds to help replace losses due to the Communist invasion. They have given freely of their time and thought to help in difficult situations. In some cases the principals and teachers by their loyalty and ability enabled the schools to continue in spite of the dislocation of all ordered work at the time of the Communist occupation and they assisted in protecting and recovering school property. These schools have accepted an arrangement with the Mission for grants diminishing annually and disappearing at the end of this period. Although under government regulations, religious instruction is voluntary, the relig­ious influence of a devotedly Christian staff within and outside of school hours has been shown to be great.

T a x m a g e C oluege

The great disturbances centering in Changchow closed for a time Talmage College. With the retreat of the Communists in June the station was reoccupied and the College was reopened in September. The Chinese Board of Managers collected $1,800 from Chinese sources to assist in repair-

mg the buildings and replacing the equipment. At the end of the year a new Chinese Principal was secured. He has entered upon his work with large Christian spirit and gives promise of useful service.

T h e G i r l s ’ M id d l e S c h o o l

The enrollment of this school has increased from 150 to 225 within the last two years, necessitating additional classroom's. Two such additions have been made from funds secured by the Chinese amounting to an expense approximating $8,000 Mex. Although religious work is on a voluntary basis, one hundred per cent of the pupils attend chapel daily. During the year six girls united with the church. In the present graduating class fifty per cent are from non-Christian homes, but all have expressed their desire to follow Christ. Nine members of the teaching staff were engaged in some special service on Sunday. In a one day retreat held before the opening of school the members of the staff discussed their responsibility as Christian teachers to present Jesus Christ to the pupils through their curricula activities and personal work. On every Friday night a meeting for prayer and fellowship is held.

A detailed report on the work of the many girls’ schools will be found in the Year Book of the Woman’s Board.

MEDICAL WORKH o p e a n d W i l h e l m i n a H o s p it a l , A m o y

The past year has seen progress in all departments of the work of this Hospital. There has been an excellent spirit among all the members of the staff and a great increase in the number of patients treated. The plant has been much improved, a new X-ray machine having been installed. Evangelistic work in the Hospital is much better organized. The building of a new Nurses’ Home is now well on to completion. The total cost will be $30,000 Mex. Of this amount $16,000 has been collected by local sub­scriptions and $5,000 supplied from funds of the Hospital. The balance awaits further contributions from Chinese sources fully anticipated. Thus another valuable feature has been added to the work of the Mission at the entire expense of the Chinese. The year’s statistics form the basis of great encouragements. The record of in-patients for the last three years is as follows:

1930—1,275; 1931— 1,483; 1932— 1,760.One-third come from places other than Amoy City. An attendance at clinics of about 7,000 out-patients is estimated. The staff of the Hospital consists of Drs. Holleman and Hofstra and five Chinese doctors. The nursing department is in charge of the Misses Nienhuis and Veldman and twenty- three Chinese nurses. The large work of the Hope and Wilhelmina Hos­pital, together with the Dispensary in Amoy City, is entirely maintained on a self-supporting basis.

N e e r b o s c h H o s p i t a l , S jo - k h e

This Hospital was also closed with the Communist invasion in the early part of the year, but reopened in June when it received an unusual influx of patients. During the spring almost all records for past years were lost on account of the invasion. These have been in some measure restored. The staff of the Hospital consists of Dr. and Mrs. Oltman with two Chinese assistants.

The record of the work of the Amoy Mission for a year in which there was much violence and destruction and consequent interruption is thus one of recovery and of advance, a noteworthy illustration of the stability o f missionary work and the persistent devotion of Christian missionaries.

18 FOREIGN MISSIONS

REPORT FOR 1932When in 1853 the three founders of the Arcot Mission confronted the

opportunity of an area in South India unoccupied in the Christian and mis­sionary sense, they adopted what they denominated “The Fundamental Principles of the Arcot Mission of India.” The preamble of this statement sets forth the opportunity and the obligation and concludes with these brief but stirring resolutions:

Resolved: (1) That the words of our Lord, “Preach the Gospel,” are recognised as the foundation stone of this Mission.

(2) That each missionary as far as possible make the preaching of the Gospel his chief work.These “Fundamental Principles” have appeared as the introduction to

every successive edition of the Rules of the Arcot Mission and the Mission has hewed to this line throughout its fourscore years of notable history, until now its Christian community numbers 25,000. Through the years the usual accompaniments of a growing Christian community have inevitably developed in the way of institutions for ministry to the mind and body and the eco­nomic and social welfare of the community, but the aim that dominates through all these agencies is that to which the Mission committed itself in the beginning, “ Preach the Gospel.”

EVANGELISTIC WORKWith the organization and development of the South India United

Church, various executive agencies have been organized. The evangelistic purpose is now carried forward mainly through the Board of Administration, which represents practically the home mission work of the United Church, our Mission being more immediately related to that portion of it that lies within the area of the Arcot Mission. From its organization the Chairman has been Dr. Lewis R. Scudder, whose evangelistic zeal and wise judgment were a great influence in establishing the way in which it should go. On Dr. Scudder’s coming to this country at the invitation of the Board to represent the Arcot Mission during the Centenary, he was succeeded in the Chairmanship by Dr. C. R. Wierenga, his successor also as General Synod’s Professor in the Arcot Theological Seminary. The Report of the Board of Administration for the year 1932, prepared by its Chairman, naturally affords the best view of the general progress of the Christian community in the Arcot Districts.

The Chairman in his Report points out that, while statistics are of uncertain value, they are after all illuminating commentaries upon the work to which they relate. They only partially reflect the consecrated service rendered and the achievements of the year. The statistics for the year under review brought out the fact that in the two vital elements, of the growth of church communicants and of the increase of the participation of these communicants in the support of the church, there was evidence of the vitality of the Christian Church. This growth is certainly significant, although in a number of respects the statistics do not give evidences of advance. It comes to be increasingly true that in the newer churches of the mission fields, as the numbers increase and the area widens, the same

ARCOT MISSION 19

perplexing conditions are to be met as in the older Churches in Christian countries. The constant movement and changes of residence of the people are factors which sometimes give wrong impressions. It is certainly true that perhaps tens of thousands of people who first received the Gospel message through the Arcot Mission have in the course of fourscore years left the area of the Mission never to return.

It is also significant that in these difficult financial times, affecting churches in India as in America, there should be a notable gain in the total receipts from the churches and that this gain has proceeded successively through the last few years. The central and strongest church in the Arcot Mission area, that at Vellore, has decided to make every effort in the ensuing year to have the pastorate completely finance its own work, which includes the Christian communities in a number of outlying villages. This Church has also resolved to make definite plans for the rebuilding of a church adequate to its growing membership. There is real concern felt in the Mission in the continued decrease in the number of pupils in the Sunday-schools and a determination to give increased watchfulness over the children of the Christian community. Gospel Teams, after the manner of the Burma Gospel Team which has recently visited India, are being formed under the guidance of the staffs of Voorhees College and the Union Training School, as also the Theological Seminary, illustrating the fact that the whole purpose of the Mission through its varied activities centers in the evangelistic.

The Evangelistic Council, the specific organized agency for the conduct of evangelistic work in unoccupied areas, has pursued the policy of decen­tralization with a view to concentration on ceratin villages and certain classes of the community.

The Chairman’s Report includes the usual extracts from the reports of the Chairmen of the various Circles, six of them within the area of the Arcot Mission; also paragraphs from the reports of the Evangelistic and Village School Councils. He concludes with this impressive paragraph:

Religiously, India’s hundreds of millions are seeking a way out of the dark labyrinths of dissatisfaction, almost despair. If they would but own it, many of the leading lights are searching for a new religion. Not a few are probing the religious teaching of all ages and, like philosophers of old, have in mind an amalgam of all that is adjudged worthy. With such eclecticism there can be no compromise; against it we have the glorious privilege to enter the lists and in the spirit of goodwill and of love to vindicate the name of our beloved Saviour and to insist upon the “aloneness” of our Jesus. W e are not a large number, we Christians of India, but we know and will know no other Gospel but of Christ and Him crucified. Though we are pressed on every side, we will not despair, for we know in Whom we have believed. In the spirit of brother­hood, in faith and testimony of the unique Lord, we stretch out our hands in sympathy and love across the seas to our brethren who in years of plenty have supported us out of their abundance and in these years of want have not failed to remember our needs.

20 FOREIGN MISSIONS

God is palpably creating in our midst an edifice for His Spirit to dwell in for the glory of His name unto the salvation of Hispeople. In this we rejoice and will continue to rejoice. In thiswe invite all to share who in any way have had a part in making the work of the year possible.

EDUCATIONAL WORKThe educational work of the Mission covers the whole range of insti­

tutions from the kindergarten to the College and Theological Seminary. It is a well organized work in which the missionaries and their Indian col­leagues cooperate thoroughly. With the growth of the Christian community the supply of Christian teachers is developing so that the Mission is grad- ulaly carrying forward its established policy of increasing the Christian influence by means of adding Christian teachers to the staff. It is ananomaly, but one which confronts every new work in a non-Christian areawhich temporarily makes use in some degree of non-Christian teachers.

Voorhees College reports a fairly normal year with diminishing financial resources; so, also, the High and Primary Schools in Tindivanam, Chittoor, Ranipet, Madanapalle and Arni.

MEDICAL WORKThe Mary Lott Lyles Hospital at Madanapalle is rejoicing in the repair

and enlargement of its buildings. Dr. Chorley, the Indian assistant, has been spending six months in Europe in adding to her equipment for service. The Scudder Memorial Hospital at Ranipet is continuing to render notable and increasing service in view of its having available the new memorial building and increased equipment.

A new department of work has been developed under the direction of Dr. Margaret Rottschaefer who is conducting systematic medical work in the villages, contributing distinctly to improved village and house condi­tions.

ECONOMIC BOARDUnder this department of mission work organized in recent years the

Industrial and Agricultural Institutes at Katpadi and the Women’s Indus­trial School at Palmaner are steadily maintaining and widening their service to the Christian community, although the financial restrictions of the time naturally hamper that development. The Demonstration Farm and Higher Elementary School under the vigorous direction of Mr. De Valois are proving increasingly useful, extending that usefulness beyond the bounds of our Mission.

WOMEN’S WORKThe extensive work carried on by the women of the Mission under the

support of our Woman’s Board is reported upon in interesting and fuller detail in the Year Book of the Woman’s Board.

UNION INSTITUTIONSDevelopment of cooperative Christian endeavor has been notable in

the India mission field, especially in South India. This finds illustration in all fields of endeavor—educational, medical, economic, social and evan­gelistic. The crown of this work is naturally in the South India United Church. The Institutions representing this union work are the United Theological College at Bangalore, the Women’s Medical College at Vellore, the Union Teachers’ Training College at Vellore, Madras Christian College, the Women’s Christian College and St. Christopher’s Training College for Women at Madras. The Medical College at Vellore has entered this year upon its newly developed and extensive plant in the outskirts of Vellore, the center of its instructional feature several miles from the hospital center in the heart of the city of Vellore. These new buildings were opened with considerable ceremony by the Governor of the Madras Prsidency and this truly notable medical center for women in South India is entering upon an enlarged sphere of usefulness through this very considerable plant and equipment development.

REPORT FOR 1932The report of the Japan Mission refers to the turmoil of political

conditions. Yet against this unfavorable background the great evangelistic “ Kingdom of God Movement” has gone steadily on and the reports from various parts of the field indicate that there has been no interference with the regular progress of all parts of the work. We shall quote from the reports of a few of our missionaries to give some picture of interesting events of the year.

EVANGELISTIC WORKB e p p u

Mr. De Maagd reports, “One of the happy things in our work this year was the building of the new church and parsonage for the small but enthusiastic group of Christians at Niji. They had raised among them­selves an unusually large amount toward building a new church, and kept beseeching us to help them with it. The Mission had, fortunately, some

22

JAPAN MISSION 23

funds long ago set aside for church building alone. With part of these and the church’s contribution, we were able to build, just when prices were lowest, a remarkably good parsonage and a very small but attractive church. We have never known any group to be so pleased over their new church as this one was. Nor they alone. At the dedication, the Mayor, the Principal of the Prefectural Girls’ High School, and the Prin­cipal of the Grammar School—none of whom are Christians—all congratu­lated the people on their fine little church and remarked upon its pleasing atmosphere. And they did not confine their remarks to the church; they made some telling testimonials about their observations on the lives of some of the church members, and how good it was for the community to have them. These were pleasant words, coming as they did from Buddhist adherents.

“The dedication service was in the afternoon; in the evening an evan­gelistic service was held. The church was packed, almost half the audience being non-Christians. After the meeting nearly all present wrote out on slips of paper some newly awakened desire or decision. Some of these are now preparing for baptism. So soon has the influence of the new church made itself felt.”

U S U K I

Rev. Hubert Kuyper., whose headquarters are at Oita, gives this interesting account of events of the year at the outstation of Usuki:

“A definite help to the Christian cause is the coming of the Gunze Shokai to Usuki. It is the largest and best known silk reeling company in Japan. The story of its founding and growth is a romance. Many years ago a man named Hatano Tsurukichi, living in the Kyoto region, left his wife and home and began a career of dissipation. He traveled over many parts of Japan and somewhere heard of Christianity and experienced the renewing power of Christ. After many years of absence he returned to his home to find his wife still faithful to him and there in his old surroundings he began to show the power of the new life in Christ. He saw the possibilities of the silk business and began in a small way and on Christian principles. The rigid inspection of the silk and honesty in dealings soon gave him a reputation with buyers in America and many parts of Japan. In each factory very careful attention was given to the welfare of the girls working there and in spare time they were given education along many lines and especially in church truth. In their main factory near Kyoto it is gen­erally considered that a three or four year term of work is a better general education for a girl than a five year course in a Girls’ High School. Parents are glad to have their daughters go there for service. There is as yet no large number of converts, but the work of the factory is a strong influence in disarming prejudice and making people favorably inclined toward Christianity.

“Usuki is a very conservative town with an unusually large number of temples, which may account for the difficulty in establishing a church there We hope the fine factory in Usuki will aid in strengthening the Christian Church already started in Usuki.”

Mr. Kuyper tells also the story of the call to the ministry of a young pastor recently settled in the church at M ori:

24 FOREIGN MISSIONS

“Mr. Hattori was a country boy, born and raised in a small country town. He enlisted in the navy as a young man and served six years. Having musical inclinations, he was put into the ship’s band and has some skill and experience as a musician. While in the navy, he occasionally had time ashore at the famous naval station of Yokosuka. There he came into touch with the gospel and was led to Christ and baptized there. When his term of service was over he decided to enter the ministry and entered the Theological Seminary in Tokyo for preparation. He seems a very suitable man for the Mori field as he knows conditions in country towns and villages from his own experience and has a great sympathy with the country people in their economic difficulties. Recently on the train I met one of the men from the Social Department of the Prefectural Office. He is detailed for a survey of country conditions and for provision of aid to the poor and those who are not able to get proper medical attention. He had just been traveling in the vicinity of Mori and said that in his travels among the country people he had heard very favorable reports about the new pastor there. As he was not a Christian, it was impressive testimony to the good work that Mr. Hattori has done in the short time he has been in charge.”

Rev. Boude C. Moore, of Kurume, gives a thrilling story of an energetic Japanese pastor at Hainuzuka, whose experiences of the year are paralleled by those of many a pastor in America:

H a i n u z u k a

“This church is the nearest to the apostolic type of church to be found anywhere in our work. The pastor is known as the one with the empty purse. He gives all he has to the poor each month, using only that which is absolutely necessary for a bare living. Such an example cannot but touch the lives of all those who come in contact with the church. A large number of people in and outside of the church simply have nothing to eat. The pastor leads in giving these poor people at least some rice. The church people give more per capita to the poor than they can well afford, but before God they are blessed in it. This church also takes an active hand in the lives of all its Christians. It suspends or expels those who are living in such a way as to be a hindrance to the work of the Lord. Last summer the oldest couple in the church were suspended from communion for quarreling. Family quarrels are not allowed among the Christians. They asked again and again to be reinstated before the church elders felt they were fit to come back. Finally they were allowed communion at Christmas time. There was great joy in the house of the Lord that day. The church is a great power in the community and surrounding villages for both pastor and Christians go to the homes, visiting and witnessing. Naturally there are results from such lives and such faith.”

S h i m a b a r a

“ Here is one of the smallest groups we have, and yet a more faithful group would be hard to find. One attestation is the bequeathing to the church, for a building, the sum of five thousand yen by a retired English business man. He lived beside this little group and felt that the work was

JAPAN MISSION 25

so worth while that he gave a very large share of his estate toward the permanent establishment of this work. This testimony from the firing line by an unbiased layman of another nationality is a great vindication just at this time of much questioning.”

EDUCATIONAL WORKT o z a n G a k u i n

Less than three years after the decision to close the school, Steele Academy finds itself having completed the last full calendar year of its history, within three months of its final discontinuance. It is the task of this report to sketch the broad outlines of this last full calendar year.

At the heart of the life of Steele Academy, through the years, has been its purpose to bring Christ to its pupils and through them to others. We have wanted this one more year, at least, for the life of the school because we felt that our work of testimony to our students was not com­plete. Chapel devotions, hitherto conducted by the Christian teachers in turn, have been led once a week by Christian students. Twice a month special speakers have been invited to bring their testimony to the students; a minister or two, a business man, some teachers, a retired judge, among others. The spring and fall campaigns with guest ministers in residence were observed, the speakers being, in the spring, Rev. T. Bansho of Kago­shima, and in the fall, Principal K. Inadomi of the Boys’ School conducted by the Lutheran Mission in Kumamoto. Their spare hours were filled with individual interviews. Crystallization of the impressions of their messages were evident in organization of voluntary groups for Bible study, independent of the Y. M. C. A. meetings, both in the spring and in the fall. At the close of the spring term, and on Christmas Sunday, small groups of boys were baptized, the number for the year totalling six. We have not felt constrained to urge baptism, as, in the present conditions of thought and society in Japan, premature and superficial decisions promise small per­manency. But we have rejoiced to see evidence of the working of God’s spirit, even apart from these decisions, which we know will bear the fruit of His choosing.”

M e i j i G a k u i n

Meiji Gakuin now has a teaching force of 47 regular professors, 75% of whom are Christian, and 55 lecturers, 60% of whom are Christian. A more thoroughly Christian staff is continually being built up. Under these men and the six missionaries is a total of 1,450 students, 100 of whom are Christian. During the year 25 students were baptized, mostly in the Academy and seven choice students of the Literary College are ready for baptism. The religious life and activity on the campus have been very encouraging, over 100 being in the Y. M. C. A., the numerous Bible classes conducted by missionaries and Japanese teachers being well attended. The school, especially the college, badly needs a man to head up the religious activities but finances make this impossible. The effects of the business depression have been keenly felt and have caused no little anxiety and close counting, but the work of the school has gone steadily ahead in an effective way in its training of young Japanese manhood. Only those who know

the boys realize the quiet transforming influence of Chapel and classroom upon these hundreds of students.

Two other fine educational institutions are conducted by the Mission; the Girls’ School at Shimonoseki, in cooperation with the Presbyterian Mission, and Ferris Seminary at Yokohama, the oldest girls’ school in Japan. Detailed report of their activities will be found in the Year Book of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions.

The editor of the report of the Mission closes with an interesting anecdote which seems beautifully symbolic of the service which is being rendered by the missionary in Japan:

“The following was printed in a Sunday edition of one of Japan’s leading daily newspapers: American and Old Man. An old man was pulling a heavy load up a hill. It was very heavy and just as the old man was getting discouraged a foreigner appeared and helped push the load up the hill. When they reached the top of the hill the foreigner was covered with perspiration and the eyes of the old man were filled with tears. He spoke to the foreigner but the foreigner made no reply and walked rapidly away. He was not known but he was thought to be a Meiji Gakuin teacher. Such was the story in the paper. Though other foreigners on the campus have done similar acts we traced this particular act to a tall blond young man of the Japan Mission, R. C. A .”

REPORT FOR 1932

EVANGELISTIC WORKIn the larger sense this heading includes all our work, for our one

great purpose is to bring Christ our Saviour to the men, women and children of Arabia. By preaching, by teaching, by hearing, by love and friendship we have endeavored to express God’s love and His compassion for them. The reports of the year’s work, of which only brief portions can be

27

28 FOREIGN MISSIONS

given here, show that in schools and hospitals, in book shops and in homes no less than in church services, there has been presented daily the gospel message^

M u s c a t : Mr. Dykstra reports: “The Bible Shop has been kept open most of the year. The colporteurs have daily canvassed Matrah and the nearby villages and one of them has usually accompanied the weekly medical expedition to Seeb. Besides, each of the colporteurs has toured the Batinah up to Sohar and one is now accompanying Dr. Storm on a tour that is expected to last four or five months in new and untried territory. W e ourselves were able to make frequent trips to Seeb and twice got as far as Birka. I think the evangelist as well as the doctor can now go and come as he pleases anywhere in the coastal area. This is valuable, not only for the sake of the Batinah itself, for here the mountain dwellers come for purposes of trade and here are the vantage points for going up into the various wadis lhat are the arterial highways of the mountains.”

B a h r a i n : Mr. Hakken reports: “There is great increase in attendance at preaching services. In the ten years I have been on the field I have never seen greater crowds. Often at the morning service not only were all seats taken but the window sills were filled and many sat on the floor. Most of these were hospital patients or their friends and helpers, but there were also regular attendants from town.

“Last winter a man from Debai, named Saalem, came here for treat- men. He showed great interest in the Gospel and it developed that he had been his father’s attendant during an illness in the hospital some months before and had then come into touch with the missionaries. During his convalescence he came regularly to Mr. Pennings and the colporteur for Bible study and showed in every way his deep interest in the Gospel. He read all the literature we could supply him. Before he left he paid his hospital bill and presented thirty rupees extra to be used in the spread of the Gospel. This summer he has again sent fifty rupees to be used in the same way.

K u w a i t : The services in the heart of the town in the place known as the “Beit el Ruban” were continued every Sunday afternoon with a fairly good attendance. One of the greatest joys of the station this year was the new church. It has already begun to fill a great need and promises oppor­tunity for much increased evangelistic work for both men and women. The building has been in use for Sunday morning services and Sunday School since early in the year. The dedication exercises were held one Sunday early in March. Although no formal invitations were sent out, a large enough audience gathered to fill the auditorium.

B a s r a h : Dr. Van Ess reports: “It is a source of amazement how many people visit the Bible shop. At certain times of every day it is crowded to capacity, with men from all walks of society, teachers, merchants, Bedoum. mullahs, soldiers and loafers. Qass Yashua and Samuel have taken turns in the shop and in bazaar and village touring, including extended canvasses of the date-packing stations. Their sales have not been high, 863, but they have definite instructions to accompany the printed word with the spoken word always and to direct their first effort to selling first the four gospels.

EDUCATIONAL WORKB a s r a h B o y s ’ S c h o o l : Dr. Van Ess reports: “In April of this year

the school passed the twentieth milestone of its present organization. As I review these twenty years and think of the days of small beginnings, of heartaches, of opposition, of mistakes made and painfully rectified, I confess to many misgivings. And as I present the report of the twentieth year I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation of your confidence, for it has been at all times reassuring to know that my conviction with regard to the ideals of the school was only the conviction which we all share; namely, that our primary function in this land is to bring men, women and children to Christ. In a less but equally real degree came reassurance from the visit of Professor Monroe of the Educational Commission to Iraq, who unqualifiedly approved our technical method, though considering it outside his function to comment upon our spiritual objective.

“At the suggestion of some of the High School boys a night school was begun and continued throughout the year. Over a hundred men and boys from the city who work during the day attended these classes in Arabian and English. Five of the High School pupils, all Moslems, con­tributed two hours every evening for five evenings a week to instruct these classes. If sacrifice is one criterion of Christian living, these boys certainly showed a Christian spirit.”

B a h r a i n B o y s ’ S c h o o l : Mr. Hakken reports: “The past year was the best we have ever had from the standpoint of attendance, for we had the highest total as well as the highest average attendance we ever had. Our total attendance rose to 151. Of these, 112 were Moslems, 2 were Christians, 4 Hindus and 33 Jews. The average attendance showed a great gain, rising to 89 as against 54 last year. Of this number there were more full time pupils, which was encouraging.

MEDICAL WORKM u s c a t - M a t k a h : Dr. Storm has made several noteworthy tours dur­

ing the past year. He writes as follows of one of them: “ It was just at this juncture that a letter came from Emir Ali of Ja’alan inviting us to come there. He was the answer to our wishes and prayers. Ja’alan is an independent state south of Sur. So this call led us through Sur and we were able to work there eight days and were in that time able to establish friendships which will give us an opportunity to go again this fall. The work there was tremendous and the people most appreciative. Clinics reached over three hundred daily, far more than we could handle. We then went on into Ja’alan and remained there one month. The Ja’alan coun­try is all open desert with here and there oases interspersed, but these oases are thickly populated. This whole area of Ja’alan and Sur opens up to the Muscat medical forces a field filled with great possibilities for mis­sionary endeavor. If we include Dr. Hosmon’s tour to Sohar we have this year covered the coast from Sohar to Lashkhara, south of Ras el Hadd, a distance of over three hundred miles.”

B a h r a i n : Besides the regular hospital work in Bahrain, Dr. Dame reports: “There were four tours this year, three short ones to Guttar and one to the Hedjaz which took 74 days. This trip to Taif, Hedjaz, was the

30 FOREIGN MISSIONS

most interesting part of the year’s work. It was the first time any of us had been to the western side of Arabia, and was now possible because King Ibn Sauod rules from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.

“Taif is only about 80 miles from Mecca and in the summer a great many Meccans desert the tremendous heat of the ‘City of the House of God’ for the hills and coolness of Taif and its environs. We were in Taif for two months and treated many patients from the city as well as from Mecca, Medina, Jiddah and other places. The King and all his retinue were there, by themselves a large number, and other summer residents numbered perhaps 5,000. So our hospital was soon full.

“Everywhere in Arabia medical work is appreciated and the Hedjaz is no exception. People originally from Kashgar, Chinese Turkestan, from Java, India, Egypt and Syria are here, temporary or permanent residents drawn by the desire to be near the holy cities of Islam. Yet they one and all come with their aches and pains and illnesses and the Christian doctor was perhaps the busiest man in the place with the exception of the King.”

K u w a i t : Dr. Mylrea reports: “From t h e point of view of the amount of work done, the past year has been thoroughly satisfactory, but the finan­cial situation is worse than ever and fees were less by nearly Rs. 1000. In the dispensary the outstanding and challenging disease was, perhaps, dysen­tery. The daily preaching services in the dispensary continue to reach large numbers of men.

“Toward the end of July an epidemic of smallpox broke out; probably the worst visitation the town has ever known. One of the results of it has been the moving out beyond the city walls of the Bedou and Sulabi popula­tion, though it is probable that these people whose tents and territory are wide open to the sun and air are far less of a menace to the health of the community than are the housedwellers with their innumerable rooms almost air tight and light tight.”

A m a r a h : Dr. Moerdyk writes: “W e are trying gradually to work up the care of lepers, using the intravenous injection of Alapol. A small leper colony is in process of formation and we are planning the building and management of a small ‘nezel’ for them, situated back of our property. At present five men and two women are entirely dependent on us for medical care and living expenses, while others are treated and helped financially. All of them are showing good results from the treatment received and will show more later when we can better control their diet and manner of living. The satisfaction in following through the treatment of these cases, though few in number, foretells possibilities of a greater service in this line in the future.”

As we close this account it is with the knowledge that greater sacrifices must be made in all our work in the coming year; some of the faithful helpers herein mentioned must be dismissed; some even of our missionaries may be kept in America. Nevertheless our hearts are filled with deep grati­tude for that which has been accomplished and for the work that still lies within our reach. We face the new year soberly indeed, yet not discour­aged, for we are persuaded that “the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy that it cannot hear,” when we call upon Him in faith.

REPORT FOR 1932The change of status in 1932 of Iraq from a mandated country to an

independent Kingdom, and its entry into the League of Nations in October, was accomplished with no friction and little public excitement, but it is significant as the completion of one example of a new experiment in world politics—the Mandate. The British Government, as Mandatory Power, conducted itself with wisdom and forbearance. Iraq, on its part, has shown many evidences of being able to stand alone and many in the Government are seriously undertaking to make it in character what it is now in name.

As conditions to entrance into the League, Iraq gave several guaran­tees, two of which particularly affect the Mission. One is the freedom of conscience and the free exercise of the religious, educational and medical activities of religious missions of all denominations, subject to the main­tenance of public order and morality. The other is the equality in rights of racial, religious and linguistic minorities. One such minority, the Assyrian, is by tradition closely connected with the work of the Mission.

Nothing notable has happened during the year to affect the usual life of the people. With the constant increase in education the minds of many are perhaps more open to truth than before, but the materialism of the West inclines to occupy undue prominence.

This in general is the situation in which the little group of thirteen members of the United Mission in Mesopotamia in their five stations are seeking to bear effective witness to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

B a g h d a d : This capital of the country is rightly the largest station. Here Rev. and Mrs. John S. Badeau are in evangelistic work and Mrs. Thoms and Miss Honse in the Girls’ School. The newly completed Evan-

31

32 FOREIGN MISSIONS

gelistic Center is a focal point of Christian activity; the little group of converts, probably closely resembling the “ Church in the House” of the New Testament, have received a newly baptized member. The book shop continues its good work and touring is as ever an effective way of spreading the Word. The school with 130 pupils cannot increase its size in its present quarters; a proper plant of its own is seriously needed. But it goes on touching all sects of Bahgdad—Moslems, Jews and Christians—with its instructions and example in the Christian life.

H i l l a h : Rev. and Mrs. A. G. Edwards occupy this station, but they are not alone since an independent group, “The Friends of Arabia,” live and work in harmony with them. The building of a residence is under way; worship in the missionaries’ home is held regularly on Sunday and a little group of Christians in this fanatical Shiah city has been organized this year. One man has been baptized. Touring is a large part of the Hillah work.

M o s u l : The home of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Willoughby, who occupy this station, is the center of a good deal of activity, varying from occasional enquirers to a group of thirty coming daily for reading and discussion. Coffee-house evangelism and the book shop are effective means for sowing the seed. A new activity in this station is the work for women and girls under the direction of Miss Akerman who lives with the girls in the hostel and is experimenting with various classes, especially in household arts.

K i r k u k : This comparatively new station, under the direction of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Glessner, maintains its evangelistic work by Sunday meet­ings at the house, personal calling, book shop and native evangelist and a large and fruitful field for touring. In addition, somewhat as an experi­ment, there was opened last autumn a small school for boys. It is thus hoped to make a contribution to the life of the community and an increasing place in it for the Gospel.

D o h u k : Rev. and Mrs. R. C. Cumberland at this station carry on only informal work in the town, but they tour extensively in the mountain vil­lages of Kurdistan. Associated with them are six Assyrian evangelists scattered in the district. In this way they are much in touch with various communities of Kurds, Jews, Armenians and Yezidis.

The Report of this Mission concludes with the following moving para­graph :

So much for the work being done. We are a young Mission and need to grow; we are far from covering our field. Another station is needed in the large area to the south and west of Baghdad and the Kurds of Sulemani are pleading for someone to come to them.We pray the Lord of the Harvest that he will send forth laborers.

Auditor’s StatementThe Board of Foreign Missions, R. C. A., May 19, 1933.

25 East 22d Street,New York City.

Gentlemen:We have completed our examination of the books of account of the Board of Foreign

Missions, R. C. A., for the year ended April 30, 1933, and submit herewith state­ments marked Exhibits “ A,” “ B” and “ C” and Schedules No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, which appear on the following pages. These statements, when considered in connec­tion with the following brief comments, in our opinion, fairly set forth the results of operations of the Board for the period and its financial condition at April 30, 1933.

The balance of cash on deposit under date of April 30, 1933, as shown by the Cash Book, which was arrived at after entries for receipts and disbursements to and including May 3, 1933, was reconciled with the balance as at May 3, 1933 confirmed to us by the Bank of the Manhattan Company. The monthly totals of receipts shown by the Cash Book were compared and reconciled with the monthly totals of deposits credited on the bank statements. Paid checks returned by the bank were examined and compared with disbursement entries in the Cash Book. In accordance with the Board’s usual procedure, a check for $284.5*1— the May remittance to the Arcot Mis­sion—was drawn on March 30, 1933, but not entered in the Cash Book or taken into the Board’s accounts until May 5, 1933.

The Petty Cash on hand was counted on May 15, 1933.Investments, consisting of securities in the safe deposit box and mortgages kept

in your office, were examined by us. Securities held by the Bank of the Manhattan Company as collateral for loans to your Board of $50,000 were confirmed directly tous by that bank and consisted of bonds carried on your records at a book valueof $89,513.40.

Past due interest and principal instalments on certain mortgages were noted but this situation seemed to be receiving the proper attention and all other income receivableon investments was found to have been received.

All securities shown on Schedule No. 2 are stated at their book value and noattempt has been made to value them at the current market prices.

During the year under review, $10,000.00 of legacies was appropriated by actionof the Board to reduce the deficit of the General Fund, as shown on Exhibit “ B.”

Certain features of total revenues and total expenditures have been verified as indicated in previous paragraphs. We have not, horwever, made complete examination to find whether or not all credits for revenue and charges for expenditures have been made to the proper accounts. The balances of accounts in the statements herewith are in accord with the balances shown by your General Ledger.

Respectfully yours,L o o m is , S u f f e r n & F e e n a l d ,
