10 DAILY PROCEEDINGS

girls in different stations, and that where such committees a¥e not in. existence, the conference be moved to have them organised. Fur­thermore that these committees visit our boys and girls schools periodically and bring their recommendations to the notice of the management.”

It was referred to the Board o f Education for sympathetic consi­deration.

Resolution No. 2.—“ The Lay Conference notes it with great concern that Indian Christians being financially very weak, find it very hard to build their own bouses and settle at a place. It is therefore resolved that the Annual Conference be requested that whenever any landed property attached to the mission is disposed of, it should be sold to the Christians alone” —

It was referred to the Finance Committee for sympathetic consi­deration.

Resolution No. 3.—“ Resolved that the Lay Conference desires to bring to the notice o f the Annual Conference that as the idea of selling a church or using it for any purpose other than worship, is repugnant to the Indian sentiment and sense of religious sanctity .it creates a sort o f dissatisfaction and discontentment among the lay members. To avoid such a state o f affairs this Conference considers it but desirable to request the Annual Conference that any idea of ever selling a Church or using it for any purpose other than worship may be dropped.”

It was referred to the Finance Committee for sympathetic consi­deration.

Resolution No. 4.—“ It happens occasi onally that a portion o f our church membership is handed over as a body to another denomination. This has been very unwelcome especially to those concerned.

It is therefore resolved that in future whenever such action is deemed necessary the consent of the people concerned may invariably be taken.

Resolved; further that some suitable action be immediately taken to provide spiritual ministry and help according to the Methodist Episcopal Church for those o f our membership who have already been so transferred and who may be found unhappy in their present situation.

Resolved; further that in order to make adequate provision in future for spiritual ministry and help in such places, suitable candi­dates among laymen be found and after necessary preparation be given local ordination in such territories.”

It was referred to the Board o f Bishops for Southern Asia for sympathetic consideration.

Peiuion-Provident Fund-—On motion o f Isaac Mann, Conference members were requested to present any amendments to the P. P. Fund rules before the next session so that they might be given due consideration before the close of the Conference.

appointed to co-operate with the Joint Evangelistic Board in order to combine the old course and Dr. Rockey’ s Five Year Programme for village Christians and report to Conference

Resolution.—The following resolution from the Delhi and Rohfcak District Conferences were read and it was unanimously agreed to forward the same through this Annual Conference to the Central Con­ference for necessary action.

“ We the members o f the Delhi and Ro'itak District Conferences accept the Bareilly Inter Area Programme for our village evangelistic work. We, however, find that in our present Full membership Roil o f the Church, there are many whom according to the new standards we cannot call Full members. We cannot drop these names according to the disciplinary requirements, therefore we memorialise the Central Conference through this Annual Conference to alter the dis­cipline for the Southern Asia Field so that such undesirable Full members m aybe dropped without having to resort to judicial pro­ceedings.”

Uniform Programme.—On motion of William Dye the following resolution was passed:—

“ In order that ?s far as possible we maintain a uniform pro­gramme for this Conference and the North India .Conference, the-

Secretary be instructed to forward to the North India Conference the following changes suggested by us in the Bareilly Inter-Area Pro­gramme and any further suggestions for better carrying out that Programme:—

1. In the Chaudhri Course have the stories written out.2. In regard to the crucial matter o f marriage, Pull membership

and the ministration of the Lord’s Supper, we suggest that to rigidly insist on the requirement o f Christian marriages at once would mean that the Sacrament o f the Lord’s Supper cannot be administered as we have no such full members. As, however, participation in the Sacra­ment is itself an important means for changing the general mentality, this should be begun with caution.

As regards Full Membership, in as much as the blame for the present situation is largely ours, we should give people one or two years within which to measure up to the new requirement with the understanding that after that time (during which they will be given every opportunity) the rule would be rigidly enforced. It is reco­gnised on one hand that the rule must be enforced i f Church member, ship is to mean anything at all, and that until Discipline was com­menced, many would not take things seriously: but on the other hand to precipitate action would begat a sense of injustice in these we were seeking to help.

3 In regard to the Five Year Programme of teaching, there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether Bible Stories are to be taught and examined in addition. A committee has been formed and will meet on the 18th of December to discuss this.

INDIAN CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION U. P. AGRA AND OUDH18, Clive Road, Allahabad,

bth October, 192b.The Secretaries of Missionary Societies,

United Provinces of Agra and Oudh.My d e a r fr ie n d s ,

I wish to invite your attention to the report of the Conference which was held with the Minister for Education, regarding the edu­cation of village Christians. This will soon be published and will be available from the Government Press, Allahabad. It is a most memorable document and I suggest that you get a sufficient number o f copies for the 1 eaders in your1 Mission, and also for your Home

DAILY PROCEEDINGS 21

Boards. We have reasons to believe that Government will do a good deal for the education o f village Christians in the near future. The Deputation which waited on the Hon’ble Minister for Education was a concrete demonstration of how East and West could work together. Though a deputation o f the Indian Christian Association, it included seven missionaries one being a Catholic Priest. There could not have been a better illustration of team work. This was pointedly refer­red to in the opening address, and it was greatly appreciated by the Minister.

I also wish to invite your attention to the following letter which has been received from the Chief Secretary to Government, U. P .:—

“ With reference to your letter dated August 24,1934, I am di­rected to say that Government have asked all district officers, Com­missioners o f division, all district and session judges, Inspector- General of Police and the Secretary to Government, Public Works Department, Irrigation Branch, to instruct all officers subordinate to them to describe “ bhangis” and ‘ chamars” who have been con­verted to Christianity as “ Christians” in future.”

The Association was informed that in the Police records and Courts the depressed class Christians, who had been converted to Christianity, were shown by their old caste labels. His Excellency Sir Malcom Hailey, Governor of the U. P. o f Agra and Oudh, was graciously pleased to take notice of the complaint with the result which I have the pleasure to communicate to you. I suggest that the Govt, order be made known to the Christians concerned and wherever possible a resolution expressing their grateful appreciation of the action taken be communicated to the Chief Secretary. Men­tion may also be made of the Conference on the education o f village Christians held recently. A copy may be sent to me also for infor­mation.

The time is opportune for us to help the village Christians. The Association has been enabled to render service with the help o f the missionary leaders, to them in respect of the two matters men­ti oned above. Please tell us what else we can do for them in parti­cular and the Indian Christian community in general. I feel that the time many had longed for has arrived and we should make the best use of it for safeguarding the interests o f the Indian Christian community. Your suggestions will be gratefully received and care­fully considered. I shall be glad i f you will kindly have copies of this letter placed in the hands of the missionaries and Indian leaders of your organization. I may mention that the next session o f the Provincial Conference o f the I. C. A. will be held ?t Cawnpore on the8-9,1934, and I shall greatly appreciate your kindness i f your recom­mendations are sent to me in time for the consideration o f the Con­ference.

Yours sincerely,N. M u k e rji,

President.

With this conference isession Mrs. Herrmann and I finish seven years o f service on the Aligarh District. We look back over these years o f work and m?rvel at the leading and guidance o f our heavenly Father. What patience He has had with us! What boundless lo ve He has constantly shown us! His tender mercies have been without number! We would render to Him all honor and praise and akcnow- ledge His many benefits I f there has been any success, i f any ad­vances in the work,any deepening ofjthe spiritual life tif our beloved Indian people, it is all Decause of the 1 blessed presence and work of the Holy Spirit. All glory to Him who doeth all things well

Our Field.The Aligarh District has an area of 2156 square miles. We have a

population o f about a million and a quarter or nearly 580 to the square mile. The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Church Missionary Society of England are both sharing in the work of evangelizing this field. Our share is approximately two thirds o f the area. The City o f Aligarh is on the old Peshwar—Calcutta Trunk Road, 81 miles southeast of Delhi, Before the days o f the railway this was one of India’s main arteries immortalized by Kipling in Kim.’, We have some 75,000 inhabitants in this city. Here is also located the largest Muslim University east < o f '"¡airo, Egypt. One never lacks opportu­nities for evangelistic and social service and there are many calls for Christian help and spiritual Uplift.

Our Staff.At present there are but four American missionaries in Aligarh;

Rev, and Mrs. C. C Herrmann, Miss I. A. Farmer our District Evan­gelist and Miss E. L. Perry, who has charge of our Anglo-Vernacular Girls’ Middle School. Miss E. E. Warner returned to the United States for furlough in July, which was nearly a year overdue. She carried a very heavy load during her last year as, almost single hand­ed, she undertook the surpervision o f the erection of the fine Girls’ Hostel in connection with all the other regular school work.

Miss Helen H. Wells, one o f our fine National Missionaries, has had full charge o f the Girls’ Vocational School. Formerly there have al­ways been two American missionaries in charge o f this institution, but because of the shortage o f W. F. M. S. workers, Miss Wells was obliged to carry this heavy load alone.

And what shall I say about our staff o f national workers? TheSas tors, teachers and Bible Readers, In 1927 when we took over this

(strict there were 52 men workers and 50 Bible Readers o f the W. F. M. S. To-day we have but 18 men and 18 women, a reduction of 34 men and 32 women workers and yet we are trying, (please note the word trying) to hold the same, battle front as we did in 1927. To say the least, humanly speaking, it is an impossible task. Somehow we are reminded o f the Story o f Gideon. The Lord sifted and reduced

thè army of Gideon to almost nothing before victory could be given to his cause and the cause of Israel. Has the Lord been sifting our ranks of workers so that He might show us that “ it is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit saith the Lord o f Hosts?” And will He give victory thru the residue? Or as Jonathan said to his armor bearar when they went into the camp o f the enemy single handed; ‘ •'The Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few .” In the years past, we as missionaries have called many to service in the Mission, but were they really chosen vessels of the Lord to take up this great work? To our way o f think­ing this testing has proven that many were not ‘ chosen’ and therefore it was easy for them to leave the work when they faced real trials and hardships. Paul said o f one of his helpers, “ Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world.” These are the days when one must be prepared to practice real self denial and make great sac­rifices, and unless the worker is fully given over to the Lord, then it is but natural that they will turn back and seek ways that promise more material comfort for themselves and their families. We be­lieve that the workers who have remained are almost without excep­tion, men and women who wish to remain loyal and true and who are ready to face even greater hardships far the sake of helping their own people and to give then the wonderful message of Salva+ion.

Our Church Membership.We have at present on our Church rolls 17.985 members and

these are divided as follow s;—Full members, 4105, Non Resident 325. probationers 7003 and children under 21 years of age 6554, With our meager staff o f workers we find it most difficult to meet the demands for instruction o f our village children as well as the Probationers. It is absolutely imperative that our people get sufficient instruction before they are received into full members o f the Church. We have put special stress on this during the last few years. Unless we can do this we shall but develop a weak and inefficient church membership. We have likewise laid stress on the development o f our village leaders or Chaudries. If we can succeed here and really train such men and women who will give certain days o f voluntary service to go out into the villages, we shall have made progress in the right direc­tion. But this likewise takes time and the men. We trust that in the very near future we may be able to he!p and inspire many o f the leading members in our local Central'Church in Aligarh, so that they m aygoout to the nearby places, especially on Sundays to conduct some service o f worship and also to given intensive instruction to the children o f our Christian communities.

Sell Support:—In the matter o f real self support we have made good progress

during the last year. Heretofore we reported the amounts our Pas­tors and workers were supposed to raise from their people. This has always been a misleading figure as it was labelled as self-s'upport raised. This year we have put down the actual figures in the Statis­tics. that have been raised. The amount is Rupees 1280/* for the year. Rs. 720 /-o f this is for the pastor o f the Aligarh Central Church. The remainder has been raised in our outlaying circuits. At the begin- in gofth e year we furnished each worker a set o f small booklets. The larger for himself and the smaller ones for the different villages where he had work When he received contributions either in kind or money he was instructed to write it in the book of the village Where he collected the amouut, and then also en+er it with the date in

ALIGARH DISTRICT 33

his personal account. In this way each village congregation could be informed at the end o f the year what sum had actually been given by them for tbe support o f their pastor. We believe by thus reporting to our people what they had given, and putting a b it o f the spirit o f competition into their minds that they will do even greater things. There is nothing that succeeds so well as actual success.

Our Schools:-----As stated above Mies E. L. Perry is carrying on the work o f the

Anglo Vernacular Girl’s Middle School. This is indeed a heavy load for a young missionary in her first term o f service. There are at pre­sent 138 girls in this growing school. Nine girls were sent on for the Government Middle school examinations in March and eight passed. Of these six_ have entered High School and two are taking Nurse training. Eight teachers are on the staff at present, who are giving themselves unstintingly to this great task o f developing these young lives. At Eastertime 21 o f the school children were taken into full connection of the Church. The spiritual life o f the girls is well looked after. They have their own Epworth and Junior Leagues, as well as a Junior Sunday school. These meetings are almost entirely conducted by the girls themselves "and thus they are developing real leadership.

MissH. H. Wells in the Vocational school has been doing splen­did work. She has introduced both carpet and cloth weaving. The girls as a whole are taking keen interest in this work as well as other vocational duties that are assigned them. The Girls o f this School likewise have their own Epworth League which they conduct them­selves. From amongst these will come many who will be leaders in their respective congregations in years to come.

District Evangelistic W ork.Miss I. A. Farmer our cappble District Evangelist has had a good

year in most respects. We regret that she had to spend some time in the hospital, but glad to report that she is back at her task again and is untiring in her work. Since most of her experiences fit in with ours so well when we tour the district, we would like to give part o f her report here. "In a district of more than 800 villages, one wonders what ought to be done to get the best results. Several months must be given to itinerating and that includes taking the examinations from the villagers in Bible Story telling and other Christian teaching. Our report this year shows that examinations were held in 87 villages and that 810 people were examined. The total number o f points gained was 7779. It is encouraging when we realize that eacn year shows an improvement in story telling and in the better understand­ing of the Bible teachings.

“ There have been 18 schools to supervise in which 32 girls and 150 boys study. We would gladly teach larger numbers but the economic condition o f the country is such that the parents feel it is not neces­sary that their children should go to school but must work from babyhood. It is not uncommon to see a child o f three or four years tending pigs or goats in the fields.

* ‘ Each year I set aside three months in the cool season for intensive evangelistic work. Taking the camp outfit we go to three or four circuits to visit each village where we have Christians living. This m e a n s long days in the car or ox-cart, but it is the most interesting work o f the year. The Church Record book is taken along and written up to date. Babies are baptized. Gospel portions and religious tractaare distributed. Evenings we show lantern slides on the Life

34 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS* REPORTS

of Christ, on Health topics and Temperance’subjects. Often we are invited into the zenanas to show to these women who never get to see pictures of this kind, and thus have an opportunity to tell them the Story of Redemption as well. Our medicine kit is always with us and each day needed medicines are dispensed and the sick helped. Since the number o f pastors has been cut down because o f funds, I have also been given the supervision of the Aligarh Circuit. Here I have an opportunity to emphasize the objectives which are to be stressed in the Conference. We are to select a few outstanding vi Usages where we have fairiy large Christian communities and conduct regular ser­vices The Holy Communion is to be administered and the probation­ers to be regularly taught and prepared for full membership. Pas­toral support is being emphasized and the result in the district has been encouraging this year.”

Discouraged!No! Our preachers and Bible women are not discouraged. One

said recently:—“ “ Our numbers are few, but our work was never better.” The work is better where the workers are, but there are so many villages left without a pastor to visit them even once a year.• PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE (HARVEST

Summer School and District Conference:—These are the crowning events in the year in our Evangelistic

work. This is the one time when all our workers can gather and tell each other o f they victories the have achieved and the difficulties they have encountered. The days preceding District Conference are given to special attention for the coming years’ work along Bible Story telling. Much competition is shown by the different ones who are assigned the stories, as to the best methods in telling the story and in geting the vital lesson of the story across to the people. We feei certain that the coming year will show even better results than the past.

During the ten days we were together, Rev. J W. Alexander from Roorkee District preached us seven times Mrs. Herrmann gave four sermons on the Spirit filled life. Bro. P D. Philips from Muttra was with us for three messages and Bro. Mohan Sam took one service Each one o f these gave messages, that were most helpful and we feel that the main subject o f the meetings, “ The Spirit-filled Life and Service” was well presented and that definite results wilfr follow in the work o f the coming year.

In the matter o f benevolences we have done better than last yfcar by 126 rupees; We believe that our people are beginning to learn what it really means to help support the Master’s cause. Our pastors are giving themselves more ana more to the work of developing local re­sources. This is at it should be for a Church fed from foreigh sources will never be a really growing and strong Church.

Colportage and Tract Distribution.Our report shows a net gain all along the line in this work. This

year we have sold 16 Bibles. 19 New Testaments, 1297 Scripture por­tions and distributed 21543 tracts. The printed page and the well chosen tract are still a power in the work o f evangelizing the multi­tudes of India.

In closing this report we wish again to express our sincere grati­tude to our fellow Missionaries who have In so many ways helped make the burdens o f the District just a little lighter by their kind­nesses and help- We likewise wish to use this opportunity to express

' ALIGARH DISTRICT 35

our hearty thanks and gratitude to our National Co-workers. They have been true and loyal. Many o f them have come into my office when it seemed I was overwhelmed by work and problems and have given good advice and what a joy it was to have them bow with us in prayer before they left, and how often the burden was lifted and light was thrown on the problems that seemed so difficult. We want to say Thank you and God bless you to each and every one of them. The year has brought encouragement in so many ways and with the co-oper­ation of home friends, the continued loyalty o f our co—workers and the help and guidance of our Heavenly Father we face the coming year with new courage, hope and faith. “ Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundant above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.”

36 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS* REPORTS

BULANDSHAHR DISTRICT R o b e r t G a rd n e r , Superintendent.

Thanksgiving.—We render thanks to God our Heavenly Father for all His loving kindnesses and help received during the past year. We are glad to say that it is through His grace that we are permitted to submit the report for 1934.

Bulandshahr District.—As the name indicates, Bulandshahr is a city situated on a high level. New buiidings are being erected on the other side o f the high hill. Houses built on the upper side are known as the Upar Kot (Top fort) and the inhabited site on the lower level is known as the Zer Kot (Fort o f the Lower level). As we a sce n d from the top level we enjoy the scenery much like that seen on the hills. But both the upper and lower levels constantly present a picture o f the vicissitudes of our earthly life. The town of Buland­shahr lies in the centre of the District. Total population o f the district is 1,123,792. Our total Christian community living in 868 villages numbers 28,484. We baptised 233 during the year and 527 w e r e removed by death. We have 21 men workers including school teachers i.e ., we have fifteen preachers and six school teachers. Our school teachers are busy with their school work and therefore the e n t ir e burden o f evangelistic work falls on these fifteen preachers. I f on the scales we put 28,434 Christians on one side and on the other these fifteen preachers, we do not know how uneven the scales will be. We had to close two circuits because o f paucity of workers. In the rest of the circuits, we have one worker at each place. Consider him to be either a preacher-in charge or an under-charge. Aside from this, the unsatisfactory financial condition has placed fear and instability in the hearts o f most o f our workers. The deplorable condition o f the dismissed preachers always remains in the minds of the present workers. We can say that we are faced with great odds. Humanly speaking we are helpless. But we submit this condition to One who is our only helper and who is the Master o f this work o f the Kingdom. We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ may make arrange­ment for His own work.

Worship and Religious Instruction in Villages■—For several years past we have been stressing the need for places o f worship in every village where regular services may be held. Such places will be used solely for worship. For our village Christians it is not only difficult to secure such places o f worship but it is almost impossible. We hold our services in their community guest rooms, in their small huts and even under the shades of trees. All these p l a c e s a r e used by them daily. How can they secure places where

nothing but worship m aybe held. In our District there are manyfilaces where regular worship is held on an appointed day and time, n several places, the village leaders themselves conduct services.

We follow the prescribed form of worship. The form includes the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed and a lesson from the Bible, and a short sermon. In many o f our villages there are people who can read the Word of God for themselves. They have learnt by heart the Lord's Prayer, Ten Commandments, a short prayer, The Creed, Essential Teachings, the Claims o f the Lord Jesus, His Promises and Bible stories. Those who took examinations in Bible stories are as follows:—

Stories taught 4322. Number of persons successful 4175. Points obtained 14,908.

Chaudhri ( village leaders).—In our District, Chaudhries o f all sorts number about 500. This year they helped us as much as ohey could. Some o f them went from village to village with the preachers, taught the people, prepared people for baptisms, gave collection themselves and got others to give. We raised Rs. 2 586 during the year. Jalsas which are a very essential element in our village work were held all over the district through the efforts of these village leaders In villages where such meetings are frequently held, our Christians are encouraged, they learn cleanliness and how to behave in public meetings. They know how to learn and recite Bible stories They give generously for the support of the Church and have learnt many B ible texts. This year we held 35 Jalsas (meetings) and raised Rs. 140/3/ for the support o f the Church.

Evangelistic Week.—We observed the week o f special evangelism as in past years from March 4 to 11. The ladies of the Z. B. M„ and all workers of the C. M S , joined forces with us. We made plans before the week and worked according to it. We went in each other’s territory preaching and selling the Scriptures as we went. The success of the week can be judged by the results o f coJporteurage work. We sold 1 Bible, 6 New Testaments, 3,468 Gospel portions and distributed 44,831 tracts.

Christian Festivals.—For many years, we have been trying that all our Christians who live in villages and towns may observe Chris­tian festivals. We are glad to report that we are beginning to see the results o f our efforts. In Sikandrabad. Bilaspur. Shikarpur, Gulaothi and Khurja many families celebrated Christian festivals. In the rest o f the villages our people are beginning to recognise the need of Christian festivals. They celebrate Christmas by attending worship. They have special service on Good Friday and some of them even keep fast. This year in a special way our Christians of Sikandrabad, Bilaspur, Khurja and Gulaothi observed Easter so much so that their non-Christian neighbours were surprised by the joy they had. In these places, our Christians go out in a procession shouting that Jesus lives. These processions are held with great pomp and show. We pray that the day may be hastened when all over the District our people may celebrate Christian festivals with this zeal and joy.

Our District Conference and Chaudhrxe Meeting.—Our District Conference was held from 24th September to 1st October 1934. On the 25th September 1934 we had our Choudhrie meeting. Our beloved Bishop J. W. Robinson, D.D., was present with us. We had about 200 Chaudhrie together. The entires programme was in the hands o f the village people. When the time for the offering for the Lord came they gave us Rs. 90/6. This meeting was finished at 2 in the afternoon. Because o f the reduced number o f our workers, we had not expected that such a number o f Chaudhries would come nor had we thought that such a good; sum will be realised as collection. But we thanl^

BULANDSHAHR DISTRICT 37

the Lord that this year’s Choudhrie meeting was a great success and a source of great spiritual refreshing to our people. For the rest o f the week we held services daily and are thankful to Rev. Robert John who g-we us stirring messages and our thanks are due to Rev andMrs. Herrmann who not only came and helped us in our services; but took pictures of all our Workers for sending them to their - patrons in America.

Plague and Cholera.—This year two epidemics surrounded our District i.e , plague and cholera. When these were raging, our work was practically stopped. People fled from their homes Many Chris­tians died. These epidemics were not limited to one or two villages; but the whole district was involved. Cholera was at its highest when our District Conference was on but we rejoice to say that we all were kept safe under His wings.

Conclusion —I do not like to say further about the work in this district. I would let Miss Pottenger say something about the educa­tional work of the District:—

“ With gratitude I thank my Heavenly Father for being with me another year in the work for Him thart I have loved so dearly these 35 years. There have been times this year when I have come very near sinking; but I held on the anchor that is strong and sure. What comfort to take everything to the Lord in Prayer.

The Bulandshahr District village schools have been at a disadvan­tage this year because o f the change o f teachers and cholera ?nd other epidemics for which the schools had to be closed for long periods. Four schools out of 5 are getting grants from the District and Municipal Boards. The fifth is in the running and we hope when the new Government estimates are made up this school w ill also be one that will receive a grant. We can not be thankful enough to friends in America for helping us to enlighten the little ones of India.”

Miss G. E Richards, Our Lady Evangelist says:—As a result of the systematic, sincere and prayerful efforts o f teaching the well defined objectives as described in last year's report we find ourselves faced with four groups o f village ChriBtians who are right in line to grasp and to put into effect the advanced objectives which are set forth by the Bareilly Conférence on Policy and Programme in village work namely to construct and dedicate for worship only small Churches and use them for regular Church services. Other village groups are far enough along to have specified places for semi regular Church worship and are working towards the time when they too will be able to gather a group regularly for worship.

The possibility o f an enthusiastic company Tbeing able to construct much o f the building themselves duringtlie season when the work is scant in the villages was a suggestion which appealed to the preachers in charge. The whole work would rest upon the power o f the pastor to lead, inspire and direct his people

Education in fundamental religious principle is carried on inten sivelyby the much reduced group o f workers and examinations in the same are taken quarterly During the past year the number o f points gained was 14,908. The people who participate are interested and on the whol e understand w hat they are 1 earning.

In one o f the most progressive villages after about two years of preparatory teaching, last month a group o f families was baptised. It was a great step for so many people to make in the presence o f non_ Christian men. They need so much byw ay o f sympathetic help and guidance to take up the many problems which such a situation presents.

The same appalling need confronts the Christian group in Bulandr l&ahr where a whole community o f underprivileged, people has, aitoi-

twentyyears of.wavering, at last declared themselvea openly as wish­ing to become Christians. In an evening .meeting last month we were there for two hours and a half while » group well over a hundred in number too took part in various ways to show that they were tired o f what even advanced Hinduism could offer them.

The,work o f the Spirit is being seen in this district. May the new year bring the better and richer results because of the fine foun­dation which has been laid.”

DELHI DISTRICT 89

DELHI DISTRICT.T. C. Bad ley , Superintendent.

Of the 15.276 Methodists in the Delhi District 1,008 are foundin the city while -the others, representing over 90% o f the total, live in villages scattered on both sides of the Grand Trunk Road from Delhi to Karnal, a distance of 76 miles, and in the circuits o f Nangloi and Farrukbnagar lying to the south-west.

This vast Christian Community is a legacy of the Mass Movement which swept over this section o f our Mission field during the first decade of this century,

Consequently the publication o f Dr. J. W. Pickett's bookj “ Chris­tian Mass Movements m India,” containing the results o f his careful survey o f the various Mass Movement areas throughout India, was of special significance to us. While our area is listed among the most backward o f the fields, we have derived great encouragement from the splendid achievements attained in other areas and our district is joining in a concerted effort being made throughout North India, to give particular attention to the chief factors which seem to account for the success attained elsewhere. It is hoped that by restricting our field and concentrating our efforts on fundamental objectives, our work will gradually be brought to a more satisfactory state.

Our District Conference proved to be a time of great spiritual uplift under the inspiring direction o f Brothers William Dye and Amar Das and Miss Klingeberger, and the workers have entered upon another year o f servic6 with renewed devotion and a determination to be effective living witnesses to the power o f Jesus Christ to save to the uttermost.

Miss I. M. Klingeberger, the indefatigable evangelist o f the Delhi and Rohtak districts, gives the following very brie f summary of her evangelistic work

“ The villages and mohallas visited were 254 in which 311 services were conducted. Medicines were given to 387 people. In the course o f religious education taught, 5,762 points were gamed in the Delhi District and 5,136 in the Rohtak District making a total o f .10,898. An order o f worship is being followed and we are seeing results in orderliness, cleanliness, as well as in a deeper spirit o f worship among our people in the villages” .

The Butler Memorial Girls School, under the capable and en­thusiastic Principalship o f Miss C. L. Justin has had a splendid year, the noteworthy items are :—

1. The provision of a suitable dining room by throwing arches between old store-rojoms.

2. The securing o f a motor-b us to bring day scholars who live from two to five miles from the school. The bus travelled 2,600 miles during its first tw o months o f Beryice.

3. The total enrolment is 170 o f whom ninety-eight live in the school hostel, and these are divided into seven families, who do th^ip

own cooking and house-keeping. More than fifty applicants had to be refused admission on account o f lack o f accommodation.

4 Under the supervision of a trained teacher the girls conduct Sunday School for out-caste children one “ fam ily” being responsible for the Sunday- School each Sunday.

Miss Hermiston has devoted herself whole-heartedly to the very difficult and extremely important work of city evangelist. She has organized two additional Zenana Anjumans, so that now the women are grouped in three Anjumans in widely separated sections o f the city. An Indian Lady Doctor and a graduate o f the Isabella Thoburn College are presidents o f two groups. By the introduction of “ Thanksgiving Bags” she was able to raise over Rs. 57 during the year which by vote of the women was distributed to the Warne Baby Fold, the W. C T. IT., The Bhabua Mission, The Conference claimants Fund and the Delhi Evangelistic work.

The various activities referred to in her report include (1) Help­ing the Christian girls—especially the Methodists—who are in service or under training in the three hospitals in Delhi, through after-dinner meetings, interviews, etc. (2) Securing service for many unemployed Christians, (3) Making available at a nominal cost framed pictures suitable for Christian homes, (4) Helping the young men and women o f the Church through personal interviews and by lending them help­ful books, (5) Helping to maintain a hostel for Christian Young women who come to the city to teach in the Municipal schools, in order to ensure their moral safety.

She has accomplished splendid results along these lines and has greatly endeared herself to the Christian community.

The Butler Memorial Church has had a good year under the^cap- able and devoted ministrations o f the pastor Isaac Mann, and is cons­tantly extending its beneficent influence throughout the community.

The demands o f “ Connectional” and general duties have taken so large a proportion of the District Superintendent’ s time, that the rural evangelistic work has not received thie concentrated attention required for the best results.

A ll phases o f the work have been fraught with joy and it is with a sense o f deep gratitude to God for the privilege of having a part in His Kingdom building work in India that this review of the work o f the district is submitted.

40 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

GHAZIABA D DISTRICT.W ill ia m D y e , Superintendent.

During the past year steady emphasis has been laid on those out­standing objectives which have been before us for the past few years, namely, on regular reverent worship, the training of leaders and the general teaching programme.

This year we have had larger success in general teaching, largely due to the fact that we were able to arrange for examinations which was not the case last year. W hile ours is the smallest o f the districts our results were by no means the least. We are however seeing more and more the necessity o f not only imparting simple Christian truth but o f integrating it into the ’lives'of our village Christians. We are seeing that the task is not m erely to teach, but to teach to observe. And it is in the actual observance o f Christian living and participat­ing in definitely Christian rites ceremonies and services o f worship, that the lives are deeply stirred and changed. Special efforts were made to get a more worthy and wider observance o f both Easter and

Christmas. At Easter time we joined in the C.M.S. Church in united services throughout the week and arranged for a procession through the streets o f Ghaziabad. There was much enthusiasm and a great stir. Several oxcarts, decorated; carried singing and preaching bands and the larger part o f the Christian community joined in on foot. Tracts were distributed and a fine impression made. In the villages toow e made every effort to get people to join in special services and to make it a time for public witness of their faith.

Services have been more orderly and the small order o f service has been widely used. Several of our village leaders are able to lead and we still hold the objective before us o f a leader in every village sufficiently well trained to supply the daily or weekly minis­trations o f his group.

In the Spring we had an inspiring gathering o f villagers to our annual jalsa. At least three hundred met for two days, village bands providing considerable zest and enthusiasm. In addition to those who usually gather at such a time we specially invited the leaders of the caste group with which our people are still closely linked. Several quite influential men came and we made a special appeal for Christian marriages as being the only marriage worthy o f us or of them. So far in the matter o f marriage which is the centre of the social l i fe of a group and the place where the old brotherhood control is strongest we have had little success. Marriages are performed in childhood and are carried through in what is really a Hindu manner and not by a Christian pastor. The evils o f child marriage are generally acknowledged and promises were made that efforts would be made to break through the strong control that has hitherto kept up the old practice.

Our District Conference was a time o f great inspiration. The programme was not overloaded but every session was really telling. Searching questions on the personal Christian life were pondered over and the need o f a victorious and radiant experience for success' fu ll work brought home to us. During the year there had been an important inter-Conference gathering at Bareilly at which our vil­lage work programme was thoroughly overhauled and clarified.

This programme was carefully considered at a daily period and its meaning and possibilities clearly opened up. While with such reduced resources it is clearly impossible to do everything for every­body it is nevertheless true that we still have resources enough to do adequately a great deal for a considerable number o f people, and the necessity o f making our work more intensive is clearly seen i f a real church is to be established in the village.

In the Bible School fine work has been done. The class this year was probably as good material as we have ever had and very real progress and development was recorded. Our rather limited accom­modation makes it difficult to run both the village chaudhri courses together with the regular two year course, but we are planning to give the earlier £art o f next year to training village leaders who will come in with their families for two or three months>and suggestions have also been made for regular refresher and a special pastors short course For al 1 that has been accomplished and for the fine spirit that has been shown by our district workers in sr>ite o f severe hard­ships and discouragements we are profoundly thankful and look forward to greater things. We are convinced that one o f the great lessons we are being called upon to learn is this, that the full spiritual resources needed for successfully prosecuting the spiritual work o f building up a living Church in India’s villages are as rich and abund­ant as ever they were and that f.with much money or little, God is abundantly able to crown the efforts o f His children with success.

GHAZIABAD DISTRICT 41

MEERUT DISTRICT

S. W : C lem es, Superintendent.

The House Party— March 23-25.March. 1934 w ill stand out for me as one of the greatest months

this year and all years spent in India Here are a few details and results of. the House Party. We had twenty m en and eighteen women in attendance The men all lived in my bungalow. Englishmen,

-Americans, Indians. W e slept and ate together for three days.The women all occupied the middle bungalow. Our joint meetings

were held there. Folks came from Bombay, Lucknow, Bareilly, Shahjahanpore, Ajmer, Delhi. Ghaziabad, Muttra, Aligarh, Bud&un, the Punjab. As a result o f these meetings there was a definite con­version o f a British soldier. An Indian District Superintendent organized a group. A Sikh Christian wavering and hesitating in his faith wrote me shortly afterwards. “ I have made a complete sur­render o f my life to Christ " There was a wonderful quickening of our local group. We looked to Him and were not disappointed,

Two in one.Ghaziabad and Meerut District Conference combined to meet in

Meerut September 30—October 7. The new five year program as presented at Bareilly was very ably taught and illustrated by Rev. W. Dye. Emphasis on life changing, Guidance and Sharing, streng­thened the inner lives o f both men and women. Many became aware of.a presence that disturbed and stirred them. Bishop Robinson's two days with us meant much to the work. It is no exaggeration to say that this was the best District Conference I have ever attended from the standpoint o f program, power and purpose.

Pages out of the book.February 12th is known as Lincoln's birthday. It so happened that

that was the day in 1875 that Swami Dayanand Sarasvati founded the ' Arya Samajh. Wei were asked to speak a good word at a large gather­ing o f .theArya Samajh, Meerut. These two Champions o f Humans

. rights.and liberty were compared with Him who struck at the roots o f idolatry,- caste, debauchery and slavery and broke the power of cancelied-sin.

The Summer School at Saharanpur Theological Seminary August .. 6-11 gave us an opportunity o f presenting six lectures in Urdu on the ? general subject o f “ The Preparation for Leadership in Indian City

Churches” -.The Bijnor Retreat had for its theme ‘ Our Link with God and

Man” —vital contacts were made with the brethren o f North India Conference. The ,Retreat was remarkable for its frankness and Jionesty of . spirit. The fellowship was close and deep. Three wonderful days were spent an sight o f the Himalayas and, in touch with spiritual „mountain top experiences that linger "as a precious fragrance long after one has come down into the dust and sweat of the valley.'’

Big Doors Swing W ide Open.Miss E. M. Forsyth, our District Evangelist's “ Report” .There has been definite progress daring the past year in the

: Primary Schools. Two more schools have been gi ven Grant-in-Aid from Municipal and Cantonment Boards. Two Normal Graduates

from Ingraham Institute have been added to the list of teachers. A new school organized in a village five miles from Meerut among newly baptized Christians gives much promise. Two fine girls schools minister to eagar young women and girls in Handiya and Shekh Lai Mohallas. The night school in Lysari Gate is well attended and is a force for righteousness

There has been marked advance in the Sunday School work con­nected with the day schools.

The Dotai village school boasts of a Gospel Band headed by the teacher and larger boys visit outlying village each week.

Although the schools present one of the most successful forms of evangelistic effort yet we rejoice in the opportunities for visitation in the homes and mohallas where in group the message is given, for the open air meetings, the distribution o f the printed page and the personal conversations with high and low.

Just now as never before the open door in India invites the mes­sage from the living Son o f God.Caring for a Large Family.

Mi ss Helen Buss, our Boys' School manager’s report:—Since the closing of the Sonepat and Roorkee Boys’ Schools the

Madison Aven ue Boys’ School is the only Methodist Mission boarding school for primary boys in all of Northwest India Conference. Our hostel space allows us to care for 100 boys and we are always up to the limit with a long waiting list.

That cleanliness is next to godliness we firmly believe. Our aim this year has been not only to guide our boys into an atmosphere where to take Christ as their constant companion is the natural thing to do, but to lift life ’ s physical levels to an atmosphere: where cleanli­ness is a normal part o f their everyday life Results. have not been perfect but we have made great strides and they have been grati­fying.

A modified family system started in July is doing much towar* teaching brotherly love, obedience, reverence, family pride, a sensd of order and good health habits. The Loyal Temperance Legion altee nates its meetings each month with Junior Red Cross and some ver- interesting programs have been given by the boys, They are copyiry this program material into a note book which they wish to preseng to a mohalla school at the end of the year. The Red Cross membent are making vegetable gardens. Each family group, has a flower garden which is tended with loving care and thoroughly enjoyed Games and hobbies help the boys to develop normally.

The loving care that little boys ought to have in their own homes we try to give them here and ours is a healthy, happy fam ily.”

More Room for a Great Task.Let Misses Laura G. Bobenkouse and Jean Bothwell speak:—

“ I f numbers were indicative of success, we can report that we have had a successful year. Our hostels are crowded as well as some o f our rooms This is. especially true o f the High School and Normal Department. Many girls uave been refused admission, as there is no room for more. We greatly need more sleeping space, even were our numberless. We hope to soon have an open air shed to meet this need.

We have a large number of superior girls in our High School classes. Last year there were twenty-three girls in the Seventh Class (Ninth Grade). A11 passed and every, gi r ] . returned this year. They are earnest hard-working Christian girls.

MEERUT DISTRICT 43

We admit Eighth Class passed girls into our Normal classes. But now High School passed and failed girls are coming for training. This year every one of our Second Year training students passed the Government examination and received Primary Teachers Certificates.

In April twenty-three girls joined the Church on probation On Easter Sunday, four girls were taken into full church membership. Every girl in the High School and Normal Department is a church member, either full or on probation.

Our task is to make sure that every girl knows Christ and to develop strong Christian characters in them,”

MUTTRA DISTRICT.H. C. S c h o l b e r g , Superintendent.

The year 1934 has been a hard one but withall a glorious one for it has brought us nearer to the Master.

For two reasons we have done practically no touring this year. In the first place the work o f the Hign School has engaged almost all our attention. In the second place we have had no funds for touring. The preachers have oeassionally come to us sometimes singly, and three times all in a group, when we have had interviews and meetings for inspiration and guidance In addition to this we have kepc in touch with the work through the District Evangelist, through letters and post cards and printed messages. As for the rest we have had to depend on the workers to do their work faithfully. Any success, therefore, on the District must all be placed to the credit o f the work­ers and the District Evangelist, *

We regret our inability to attend the Bareilly Inter Area Confer­ence on M?ss Movement work, but we have had the report o f that great meeting and in many places o f the District a beginning has been made in carrying out the program there mapped out. In no less than 40 places there are held regular services of worship in the villages and muhallas where Christians live. About 35 Chaudharies are being prepared in the courses of study outlined for them and have passed some part o f the course. In addition to this 350 persons were examin­ed in the Bible stories and other fundamental teachers and won 4575 points. Miss A. Richards did all this examining and brought in this report.

We are happy to report that the movement among the Chamars is on the increase both in the Agra and the Muttra Civil Districts. We feel sure that i f we had been free to give ourselves to this work, we might have baptised a thousand Chamars this year. At Karhari, Manth, Mahaban and Sadabad on the east side of the Jumna River and at Chhata and Farah on the west side literally hundreds o f Chamars are being prepared for baptism.

Only a few days ago when our Evangelist visited Firozabad in the Agra District, the preacher in that place baptised nearly 150 persons in a nearby village that had been under instruction for a couple of years. Many o f the relatives in the adjoining Civil District have been Christians for some time in charge of another mission.- So these people have had their example as well as the instruction by our workers. Now a large number in the surrounding villages are also being prepared, and we look forward with considerable anticipation to a large ingathering on that Circuit.

The Christian community on this District is now as follows:— 6638 Probationers, 5779 Full Members, and 6646 baptised children, which makes a total of 19063. The total baptisms this year is 197. This does not count the 150 mentioned about who were baptised after the statistics were closed.

44 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

The amount o f Self Support raised is Rs.' 2857. Of this amount Rs. 2450 was raised by the churches at Agra, Brindaban and Muttra, and the remaining Rs. 407 was raised by the workers in the village Circuits. Rs. 50 was raised for Conference Claimants; Rs. 34. for Mission Claimants; and Re. 87 for the Episcopal Fund. Rs. 191 is reported as raised for current expenses.

National Missionary Society Rs. 12; Earthquake Relief Fund Rs. 67; Warne Baby Fold Rs. 23; Central Conference Rs. 10; and General Conference Rs. 10. This gi ves a grand total of Rs. 3441, which isRs. 316 more than was raised in 1933.

In Agra the work o f the Holman Institute is going on as usual with this difference that now some Chamar children as weJl as some from other castes are taken in to the School and given a chance. This In­stitution is a beacon o f Evangelical light and hope to the depressed classes in Agra. We regret to report that the great patron of this work, Dr. E. O. Fisk o f Boston a brother-in-law of the Holman Sisters, has passed away. He put much of his life into this wonderful work in Agra so much o f the success is due to his untiring efforts. How fitting it would be i f his friends would now rally and complete the plant in Agra by erecting a suitable memorial to his memory in this center of promise for the Kingdom of God!

The Hospital building operations at Brindaban are held up tem­porarily by a person who claims to have some title to the land. We feel sure he is not able to substantiate his claim, but we have to wait for tha decision of the Court. However, the work o f healing goes on. During the year under review there were 747 inpatients, 8841 visits to the Dispensary and 141 calls on patients in their homes. There were 70 major operations and 260 minor operations. The fees and donations collected this year amounted to Rs. 6245.

The colportage report for the year on the District is as follows:— Bibles sold 10; New Testaments sold 33. Gospel portions sold 4596. Besides this nearly 19000 tracts and leaflets were distributed.

Sunday school work is being carried on in villages as well as in central stations, and the Epworth League and Junior Church work is flourishing in Agra, Brindaban and Muttra.

Primary Schools are conducted in Firozabad, Tundla, Karhaxi and Deeg in addition to those in Agra and Muttra. The total number of boys in these schools is about 620. There are also 150 scholars in the Middle schools, and 80 boys in the High School.

In the last Government High School examination we passed 14 boys, 7 o f whom were Christians, 4 Hindus and 3 Mohammedans. Of the 9 Christian boys who appeared in this examination, 7 lived in the Christian Hostel, and o f this number 6 passed. This speaks well for the work of the Christian Hostel.

We feel that the spiritual condition of the school is very good About a year ago we set aside one o f the rooms in the Hostel as a prayer room where the boys have their daily morning devotions con­ducted by Mr. Solomon, the efficient House-father and companion of the boys. Boys also use this room for quiet meditation and prayer.

The special meetings conducted by Miss Klingeberger, and the meetings during Passion week did much for the boys and girls. In addition to the meetings the devoted and consecrated lives of the teachers have been a constant inspiration to the youngpeople.

We are glad to report that all the boys o f this year’s class who have gone to college have entered some Christian college. Three of our own Hostel boys are in the Lucknow Christian College. It was

MUTTRA DISTRICT 45

my privilege to visit them with three of the boys o f other years in their college surroundings, and I found them developing beautifully in spiritual things as well mentally and physically.

As I was about to leave they indicated that there were other boys in the college from the Central Provinces that knew me I have met two of these the day before. We started to make the round o f the rooms and we found one who had been a small boy in our Boarding house in the school at Narsinghpur when we left there ten years ago; two who had had older brothers with us and therefore felt they knew me; and two who were the sons of boys that we had had in the school when we first came to Narsinghpur 24 years before They were all fine upstanding youngmen and I said to myself that even if we had had no other reward for all our years of toil in this land, that Sundey afternoon’s visit to the college to see our present group of boys and that group from the school in Narsinghpur, C P ., and realize that we had had a hand in shaping their lives, was reward enough

“ He that goeth forth and weepeth,Bearing precious seed,Shali doubtless come again with rejoicing,Bringing his sheaves with him.”So we thank God and take courage.

46 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS* REPORTS

MUZAFFARNAGAR DISTRICT R o b e r t J o h n , Superintendent.

Geography o f the District.—The District o f Muzaffarnagarr is situated between the two great rivers of India viz., the Ganges on thé east and the Jumna of the west. On the other side of the Ganges is the Brjnor District and on the other side of the Jumna lie the districts o f Karnal and Rohtak and Delhi Province. Two big canals cut from each o f the two rivers irrigate this district and add to their vegetation beauty and fertility o f the place Besides these two rivers, within a distance o f every seven or eight miles we have small rivers. On, the east is the Eastern Kali Nadi known as the Nagan. There is a legend connected with the name o f this river. Near the village of Anti wara, there is a big tank where one day a snake and its mate were fighting. In a sudden fury the female snakè hit its head hard against the ground and the result was that a river came out of that spot. This river is called the Nagan. As it proceeds in its course, it is give® different names. In thé Bulandshahr district it is called the Kali Nadi and in the Aligarh district near Kasganj it is known as the Kalmdri river. On the west, we have the western Kali Nedi and the Hindan. They proceed towards the Meerut District and near Baghpat the Kali Nadi is absorbed in the Hindan and losing its name acquires the new name o f Hindan. As they proceed further as i f they con­spire together, they fall into the Jumna By so doing they obtain the merit o f being called the Jumna Mai (Mothér JUmna) and at Muttra they both help the Jumna become a sacred river and make that place of pilgrimage for the Hindus where Sri Krishna o f long ago was Born.

Statistics.—Last year we had 17,170 Christians. During the year, 129 men, women and children died. We baptised 189 persons during the year. Our Christian community is no w 17,230. To shepherd this number, we have 14 men workers, 15 Bible Readers and 3 school teachers, 1 colporteur and 11 volunteer workers. We are trying our best that our-«nllage leaders and other laymen may be used more in our work. For the Muzaffarnagar circuit there was no preacher-int charge. I had personally to assume this responsibility, hi this circui- two workers who get part of their salariés from the Mission áre my

helpers as preachers-in-charge. We have four circuits where we have self-supporting preachers. Of their precious time, they give part to this work.

Good Friday and Easter Week.—During this week, we went round all the circuits in the district. Wherever we went, we gave stirring messager to our people on the death and resurrection of our Lord. As we looked into the faces o f the people, we could very well feel that our messages were gripping their hearts. In one village, we were presenting the facts about the death o f Jesus. One of our old Choudhries looked sad and began to weep. But when he heard that the Lord Jesus did not forever remain in the grave, but that He rose from the dead, hijs face lit up and we could easily see that he was happy and cheerful and hopeful. We taught our people, during this week that, in non-Christian, religions, people were following dead leaders; but we Christians have our teacher Jesus who died but rose agrin and is alive for evermore. As a result of this teaching, from the very next day, our people began to testify among their non- Christian neighbours with a good deal o f pride that they were the follow ers of teachers who were dead and for themsel ves they were the disciples o f Jesus Christ who is living.

Special Meetings.—We have come to know from actual experience that these meetings are the very essence o f the spiritual life of our village churches We did our best to keep up these meetings during the year By means of these meetings known as the Jnlsas. we have taught thousands o f our people Bible stories, bhajans, Bible texts, and the story o f the life o f Christ. We rejoice to say that thousands of our people can now recite the Lord’ s prayer, the Apostles’ Creed, the Ten Commandments, etc In this connection, we held tw o big meet­ings at central placfes in our district. A tone centre we gathered our people from four circuits while at the other, people from three circuits came. These meetings were a great success and the pro­grammes were very interesting. On both occasions, our beloved Bishop J. W. Robinson was present with us. The village people were responsible for every item on the programme In one meeting we got a collection o f Rs. 6/- while in the other we raised Rs 11/12/-. Eight o f our young people were taken into full membership of the church.

Sunday School Points.—We are glad to report that our people learnt the prescribed Bible course for the year and obtained 7.358 points We are sure that had we the necessary means of giving all our people examinations there would have been many more points in the district.

Our Programme for the Next Year.—As we returned from Bareilly in Julyt we had all our preachers-in-charge together for a period o f consultation and we all agreed that in future we would work entirely on the programme chalked out at Bareilly In addition to this, during our District Conference week, from 8 to 10-30 p m.. our workers held a Round Table Discuss1’on together on this programme. They have decided that every one o f them will carry cut the pro­gramme to their utmost capacity. May God bless our workers and give them strength to successfully follow the programme framed at Bareilly.

Ourself Suvpor ting Schools.—Let us take you out to visit one of our village self-supporting schools. Just see how everything is done in order. Please look at the Takhtis (wooden slates), how clean they are and how nicely the pupils have written on them. How nicely the children are reciting the Bible stories. Did you not observe that when that boy faltered a little that old Choudhyie sitting in the corner prompted him and helped the boy to f.nish his story well.

MUZAFFARNAGAR DISTRICT 47

The secret of this is that when Master Bholu teaches these stories to these pupils the older folks sitting aside closely follow the teaching and their interest is proved by the fact that the older people learn these things more than the boys. Just see what a tremendous help these village schools are in our religious education programme. Schools on these lines are found in Bhalwa and other places. These teachers are supported entirely by the people and we do not pay anything1 from the Mission funds. Books, slates and stationery are all provided by the village people. It is for this reason that we term such schools p s self-supporting. Our lady evangelist Miss Winslow says:—

“ We can report progress in our schools though /iot as much as we wish. There have been 11 schools this past year, three taught by men teachers and the others by our .Bible Readers. Of these two have been dropped recently because of the teacher retiring from active work rather unexpectedly due to illness. The pupils became scattered and have not yet been gathered together again. We are making an effort to have à school in each centre where no Bible Reader lives We feel that these schools offer valuable opportunities for teaching our Christian children o f the village thé fundamental truths o f the Christian life .”

Our District Conference.—It is right for us to say that our District Conference was a great success this year. Our people have seen new vi ions, they have seen their past failures and weaknesses in the light ofsthe Holy Spirit. They have gone back to their fields o f labour with ne w zeal. After the District Conference was over. I had the opportunity o f having a talk with two or three Pastors. I was greatly pleased from the conversation I had with them and know that the District Conference had been a blessing to themT We are glad to say that on getting back to their places they have started their work along new lines We are looking forward to a great year of rich harvest for the Master. We pray that the Lord may give us victory over sin and superstitions of the people. We have pledged that not only shall we pray; but we shall try our best to win souls for the Master.

48 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

ROHTAK DISTRICT.

A m a r D a s , Superintendent.

This report must begin with thanksgiving to our Father in Heaven who not only gave us another year in His glad service but was also with us inthisgreat work and all that we have been able to achieve is only because o f His presence-with us. For ourselves we can only say that “ We are unprofitable servants and have done only what was our duty.”

Our hearts leap for joy as we see Bishop Chitambar presiding over our Conference for the first time. In fact what India has been trying to get in the political world, we the members o f the Methodist Episcopal Church have already obtained. It is a pleasure to submit a report o f our work to one of our Motherland’ s noblest sons We wish to place on record that we love and admire him and will heartily co-operate with him in the work o f this Conference.

Other friends o f ours may justly take pride in the fertility and vegetation o f their districts because o f water arrangements being perfect; but we o f Rohtak are not any less happy in that we have a

dry climate which for matters o f health is good in many ways. One can easily imagine the dryness of this district by the fact that a rivulet starts during the rainy months in the great Rajputana Desert (which borders on this district) but when this rivulet reaches the Rohtak District even that is dried up. That may be so as far as the waters o f this world are concerned; but we can not say that Rohtak is dry in the waters o f life. We have life giving fountains in the strategic centres of the District where we teach our Christians Bible stories and other prescribed religious instruction. As a result, our people obtained something like 5 000 points in this regular and systematic teaching, and had we the necessary arrangement surely this number could easily have been doubled. Not only this instruction is given to them mentally; but they are getting into the habit of regular worship. We do not say that we have acquired perfection; but we are well on the road and hope to reach the goal in the course o f time. We have two day schools where not only the children are taught; but we have .adult classes as well. In one circuit, we have about thirty grown up people who can read the Word of God for themselves and for. their neighbours. All over the District we have many Melas (fairs) most of which last only for a day. All our workers have successfully sold the portions o f the Gospel and distributed tracts by the thousands. As they have handed over the tracts and the portions, they have found it possible to tell many hungry souls about the Bread of Life that cometh from above.

Medina o f the Rohtak District.—You may have heard that there is a famous place Medina in the Arabian Desert. In “ the Rohtak Desert" we also have a Medina. The Preacher-in-charge is Revd. Prem Singh who was transferred here from Safidon this year. Though this is a big village houses are few to rent. Our Padri Sahib had to face a great difficulty in finding a shelter. When we could not get a decent house for him he decided to live in the corner o f the village where they have an inn and a shelter for the cattle. This reminds one of the manger in Bethlehem. During the rainy months, the inadequacy of the house was keenly felt. The District Superintendent and the Lady Evangelist finally decided to let the Padri sahib go and live in a place where housing and living facilities were better. But as Prem Singh (lion o f love) loved his work he sacrificed his comforts for the good of the Kingdom. We have about two hundered houses o f our Christians and have a very promising congregation. This example o f Padri Singh is worthy of praise and we wish that all others may follow in his train.

Rohtak Laymen.—We are certainly proud of our laymen of Rohtak. They have helped our work by going out into the villages and muhallas preaching and teaching our people. They have also preached by means of their Christian lives. In two places they have satisfactorily filled the gap caused by the removal of paid workers for financial reasons. They attended our District Conference session like paid workers and made their report like the rest. When we have such zealous lay helpers can any one daresay that Rohtak is not fertile in spiritual things?

Bicycle or a Motor Cycle—Generally our Bible Readers work among the Christians of the place where they live. If by chance there may be any who may not have a baby in arms, she goes with her husband to villages within a radius of mile or so. But we have a preacher-in-charge whose wife sits on the carrier of the cycle and goes to the villages with her husband. As a result of this, she obtained more points than her husband this year. We have other Bible Readers who are good helpers to our preachers.

Bareilly Programme—As soon as our representative to the Bareilly Conference, got back be was so full of zeal that he filled the

ROHTAK DISTRICT 49

rest of our workers with the new spirit. Prom that very time, we have been earnestly giving ourselves to the carrying out of the pro­gramme At oar District Conference ample time was given for dis­cussion on the important suggestions of the Conference. We have resolved that under our Lord’ s guidance we will endeavour to prove the efficacy of the programme by putting it into practice. May we solicit your prayers in this behalf that a living Church pleasing to the mind of Christ may be developed in this District?

Oar District Conference. —For financial reasons, we joined with the Delhi District for our District Conference and it proved not only eco­nomical but good in many ways. The spirit during this week was”very fine and we felt the presence of the Living Christ among ourselves. Revd. William Dye, who is looked upon as an expert in Mas? Move­ment matters filled us with renewed zeal by his aoaresses and helpful suggestions The gentleness and love of the Revd T. C. Badley together with his searching messages have won our hearts. Messages brought to us by our own Miss Klingeberger and her training the workers in the course of Bible stories for the next year proved very helpful indeed. So far as I recollect, I can say that this was probably the best spiritual District Conference that I have attended. This was the opinion o f many workers of both the District whom I met after the Conference. Our people have gone back with new visions and fresh enthusiasm and renewed courage and we hope that next year we will be able to “ Do great Things for God "

SO DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS

ROORKEE DISTRICT J. W. A l e x a n d e r , Superintendent

The year has been one o f satisfactory progress throughout. In fact our highest expectations in some lines of work have been more than realized. Optimistically, we must hope for much fruit out of the honest and strenuous labours of all our Mission workers, whom I found, during my regular touring, to be busily, prayerfully and ear nestiy intent on their task, while they were equally careful not to neglect their own spiritual welfare, of which we found ample proof in their quarterly Conference reports, clearly signifying the beginning o f a new era in .the religious life of the people under their care, while the gloom about them was fading fast away, giving place to bright hope and light that only the author of all light is going to give them. Incidentally our ranks have been thinned down by the loss of Reiv. Sumer Luke and Mrs. Tulsi Das, but we doubt not that we shall amply recover this loss through the abounding mercy o f the Lord o f the harvest, who spoke through the psalmist of old, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Statistically, the total number of Christians is 9 374, of whom 1,846 full members, and 4,512 probationers, the number of children under 12 years o f age being 3,016. We had 127 baptisms during the year. We have been running 6 boys Schools and three girls Schools. We have 36 Sunday Schools with 667 pupils attending them. Our Churches raised and produced 8 Chaudhries passing the first year course, and 2 Chaudhries passing the second yeur course. I must add that the importance o f properly training these Chaudhries cannot be overestimated. I am glad that some of our workers realize this fact and devote sufficient time and energy to this all important phase of village evangelistic training. Zest and interest were added tb this work by having a few jalsas at different places, at three of which every one of the boys and girls, and men and women took an active part in a full and lively programme. We administered The Lord's Supper in village centres 7 times. One of these meetings was very

solemn and responsive when 2 village Chaudhries were received into full membership. The Junior League at Dehra Dun is doing very useful work in trainging little children along gospel lines. This little league is small in number, but truly great in its achievement, which is of a very high order.

Self-supportingly—but not selfishly—our growth is very hopeful. There is ample evidence that the village Christians are steadly learning to give a generous and genuine Support to their SemiSelf- Support pastors. The Mussoorie, Dehra Dun and Roorkee churches have broken all previous records in the matter of giving, but Dehra Dun is mlies ahead of the other two capping stations.

Our District Conference was a time of great refreshing from on high. Rev. and Mrs. Herrmann fed the hungry souls from their living sermons Bros, Dye, Amar Das and Dr Taylor and Johnson of the R. P. Church rendered valuable assistance in getting the new vision of the real Christian’ s life and work, which was felt throughout the Con­ference in a marked degree. Our. beloved Bishjp J. W. Robinson graced the Conference by his presence and delivered a very helpful Sermon for the spread of the Kingdom of God

The Roorkee GirJs’ School is a blessing to the District, the religious life of the school has been very good. The school has a prayer band and it is believed that not a few have been born of God.

Our District Evangelist, Miss A. L all.is a woman o f God. She knows the work well and encourages the workers whenever she goes. As I review the year’s work, I am painfully conscious of the fact that many mistakes have been made both by myself and my co-workcrs, but His mercies have not been with held and His arm of help has not been shortened

To His name be all the Praise.Amen.

R. Chitambar as the presiding officer of o u r Annual Conference and are delighted to welcome Mrs. Chitambar t o our Woman's Conference where she has presided with such ease and grace.

We are glad, indeed, that it was possible for Mrs. Robinson to be present at one o f the sessions and we assure her o f our appreciation of her interest in all phases o f our work.

We are exteremely grateful to the missionaries and laymen o f Meerut who have planned so carefully for our creature comforts, and assure them that we are most appreciative of their generous hospitality.

We would especially express our appreciation of the enjoyable music, lectures, drama and pleasant outing, all o f which were so effi­ciently planned by them and so thoroughly enjoyed by us.

Temperance Report.Last week almost one hundred Temperance women of India

gathered together in Delhi to study the work done by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union in all parts o f India.

Lady Willingdon in opening formally the Headquarter’s Building helped to make us known to many who before had not heard o f the

work we are trying to do and hope from now on our hands may be strengthened and our forces increased so we may be able to make our selves known and our work o f real value in this needy land.

Mrs. J. R. Chitambar the wife o f our Bishop is the new President for the coming year and under her wise guidance we are looking forward to the best year we have ever had.

The convention placed itself on record as standing with the United Christian Council in their resolution urging Government to restrict the number o f sugar factories, because one of their chief objects is to manufacture liquor out o f material left after the sugar has been made and we feel it is a real menace all over this part of India where so many sugar factories have and are springing up.

It has come to our notice that Government has money laid aside for Temperance work, in each Province. Mrs Chitambar and the ladies in the Central Provinces have, after two years effort, been able to obtain the sum of Rs. 480 for work in the C. P. and it is an example for those o f us who live in United Provinces and the Punjab to be working for the money laid aside in our own Provinces and which can be used for no other purpose than Temperance. Officials seem not to be anxious to let us have it but we should go after it and use it to scatter Temperance information in literature all over these areas.

In many schools they have regular temperance teaching in Hy­giene and Narcotics and health week is usually observed, when stress is put on all the things that harm the body. Several of the schools have put on Temperance Dramas and have Temperance literature such as the Leaflets o f the month and Indian Temperance News in their reading rooms and distributed by the boys.

During the Ghaziabad Institute Fair the boys put on a Temperance Drama daily to the delight o f crowds o f village folks and they had one tent where they sold and gave out Temperance Literature and where they showed charts on health and Hygiene Each evening for a week they showed magic lantern slides, in the nearby villages, on the evils of intemperance and at the last evenings programme they received Rs. 3 which they used to purchase quinine for distri­bution in the villages.

We realise it may be too late to . reach the men and women c f this generation but we urge every Missionary in school work or in village work to teach the children the harm of these evils as they ought to know NOW the danger there is in these evils for them.

We also urge all Missionaries not only to take our paper, the In­dian Temperance News so ably edited by our own Mrs. Clemes but also to get in touch with Mrs. Foster who is publishing each month a different leaflet at the low price of Rs 2 per 100. These are pub­lished in Urdu Hindi and Gurmuki and are interesting and instructive. We also call your attention to a New Temperance paper edited in Jubbulpore called the Sudarak and which they hope to be able to sell for one pice a copy. World Temperance Sunday was observed in Agra where the Pastor preached a Temperance Sermon and the Junior Church put on a Temperance Programme.

We urge all preachers to join with us in trying to put this evil of strong drink out o f India and especially to work to keep it from be­ing a blot on our own India Church.
