„
Amoy City Y.W.C.A.— N o subsequent year in the history of our A s s o
ciation will ever seem m o r e important to us than this first year of our *
existence. A s w e approach our first birthday, w e look back over the/'past
twelve months with considerable interest and gratitude to God.
^ »»
W e began our n e w life as a fully organized Association on" Decembernineteenth, 1933, a n d celebrated the occasion by inviting m e m b e r s an'd' all'
interested w o m e n and girl friends to a meeting in which w e explained-our
p r o g r a m m o r e fully and gave a pleasant p r o gram of music, a few addresses
and s o m e short performances by the children of several of our members.
Early in the n e w year w e held a retread of the newly elected trustees*
In a beautiful rest house in a quiet garden w e spent the day in considering
opportunities for service and our p r o g r a m for the year. Miss Shao of the
National Committee prolonged her visit so that %he also could be with us
on that day.
T h e officers of the Association with Miss Fang, our General Secretary,
have followed with devotion and enthusiasm the p r o g r a m laid d o w n at
that time.
O u r n e w h o m e — three small but cheerful and" pleasant rooms.* in the
h o m e of one of our trustees— has been the center of useful and inspiring
activity. In both spring and a u t u m n w e have conducted classes in various
subjects. Some, such as English and T h e T h o u s a n d Characters and Music,
have extended through the whole year. Some, o n the other hand, were
offered for a very limited period. These included special kinds of sewing,
paper-flower making, lectures on family hygiene, a discussion group for
expectant mothers.
r
T h e various departments have taken responsibility for the monthly
meetings for our whole membership. These meetings have therefore been
varied in character— a mother-program, an Easter program, a 'literacy
program, a musical program, and others.
During the s ummer, while classes were not in session a n d our Secretary
w a s on her vacation, the Recreation Department became responsible for
hospitality at the Y. W . rooms. E a c h afternoon, except Sunday, a team
of four or five of our m e m b e r s acted as hostesses and arranged g a m e s and
sociability of various sorts.
N o w , as w e approach the end of our first year, w e realize with gratitude
h o w good the Lord has been to us, and w e give h i m hearty thanks and
take courage.
O n e of the outstanding features of our a u t u m n program w a s a Sale
of Goods, held in s o m e r ooms of the, Y.M.C.A., kindly loaned for the
occasion. This w a s our first attempt to do anything of this sort, but all
m a d e u p in willing service what w e lacked in experience. W e learned
valuable lessons in cooperation and fellowship as well as earning a tidy
s u m of money.
The Book Room — T h e A m o y Christian B o o k R o o m has been doing
m u c h m o r e business since w e m o v e d into our fine n e w shop. T h e recent
revival meetings held in A m o y under the leadership of Dr. Sung, a
Chinese evangelist, greatly increased our sale of Bibles. S o w e feel
greatly encouraged to find our good books being appreciated and w e take
courage for the N e w Year.
K a t h a r i n e R. G reen
New Work on Amoy Island— H a v e you heard of Chhim-Chhau-lia ?
Translated it m eans “In the deep fields”— a newly settled part of A m o y
o n the outskirts of the city. H e r e c a m e the opportunity to start Children’s
Meetings. Assisted by Mrs. Li, a good Christian mother of several children,
I have m e t a large group of children every Saturday afternoon in the
chapel. T h e chapel is .an old Chinese house with so m e partitions taken
out to m a k e a large room, in which over 200 people c r owd on Sunday.
Last year the w o r k began with about 50 children from non-Christian
homes. This year as m a n y as 95 c a m e to a single meeting. Mothers, also,
often c o m e to listen. H y m n s , m e m o r y verses and prayers (to be used in
the h o m e ) are taught and Bible stories told. A t the close each child is
given a much-prized card ( w h e n w e have them). W e use old Christmas
and birthday cards and valentines.
T h r o u g h the children there is access to m a n y homes. W e try to go to
a h o m e where w e can meet with several w o m e n , teach them to read and
give a Bible lesson, often followed by a real heart to heart talk. Fre
quently w e are called in to pray with and for a sick one. In one afternoon,
fr o m one to six o’clock, three such calls can be made. W e e k l y calls are
continued at a given h o m e until our aim is accomplished— to teach them to
read their Bible and consider seriously their o w n salvation.
T h e wife of a Chinese official w h o m w e have visited regularly since
last M a y has confessed her belief in Jesus. H e r neighbor has confessed her
need of the Saviour and attends church regularly. It is necessary to explain
the simplest truths to them. T h e y are but “Babes in Christ”. It w a s very
hard at first to approach them, for w e did not k n o w each other as w e do
now. It is a joy to k n o w the L o r d has opened their hearts to the truth.
A w o m a n from F o r m o s a w h o had heard about the revival meeting in
South Fukien said— “I do not understand these things. Will you c o m e and
explain th e m to m e ? ” Finding she could read Chinese character w e gave
her tracts and a Gospel of John. S h e w a s so touched by the story of the

Climbing u p a dirty, dark stairway, w e found a w o m a n and her daughter

large center room, each having one bedroom. W e went to the tiny bedroom
holding all their belongings— not a chair, so w e all sat together on the little
bed. W e tried to comfort a very sad mother w h o had followed us in and,
before leaving, w e spoke to the four m e n a n d the four w o m e n , each cooking

w e were stopped and invited into a store, where w e talked to 25 m e n and

M r . Li to church. T h e trip through the big city of A m o y and across the

Since the revival in A m o y , m y Bible Class of 18 older w o m e n of the
Second Church— all Christians and able to read— are teaching n e w hearers
that have been brought to the church.
In the W o m e n ’s School I have devoted t w o periods a.week to teaching
the w o m e n to sing Gospel hymns, hoping it will bring a little added joy
into their drab homes.
I k n o w you realize h o w m u c h you can share in this w o r k by praying
for these people and for us your co-workers. W e crave and need your
prayers to uphold us.

Amoy Girls’ Middle School— This year has been a red letter one in the
history of the A m o y Girls’ Middle School, for it s a w the completion of the
extensive building p r o gram carried on by the B o a r d of M a n a g e r s — the
erection of two wings, the remodeling and partial reconstruction of the
central portion of the building, the enlarging of the chapel, and the making
possible of m o r e suitable quarters for teaching sewing, cooking, history,
geography, art, and the sciences. There are n o w ten large classrooms in
the building besides these extra classrooms. This p r o gram called for an
expenditure of $37,000., of which about $35,000. w a s raised on the field.
T h e B oard of Ma n a g e r s still has the task before it of ma k i n g the equipment
m o r e nearly adequate to the needs of the school. T h e drastic cut in appro
priations, on top of the expenditure for building, has put a very heavy
financial burden upon them.
In M a y m a n y friends of the school c a m e to celebrate the dedication of
the n e w building. T h e school has a good n a m e and reputation, not only in
this commu n i t y but also abroad in Manila, Java, and Singapore, where m a n y
of our graduates have gone, and the display of w o r k on exhibition at the
time of the dedication w a s most highly c o m m e n d e d by all w h o s a w it. A t
that time the A l u m n a e met and organized, and w e hope they m a y thus take
a m o r e active part in the future development of the school.
In June the Principal, M r . Shao, completed his course at the Fukien
Christian University; during the fall he w a s able to give full time to the
school, and the result has been most gratifying. There is a staff of thirteen
full-time and eight part-time teachers, all but one Christians. T h e foreign
staff has been very m u c h depleted this year. In the spring term Miss
B e e k m a n w a s a w a y on leave in America, and in the fall w e very m u c h
missed Miss Holkeboer and Miss Bleakney. T h e help Mrs. O l t m a n gave
in the fall term w a s very m u c h appreciated.
T h e School City has been carrying on as before, and the School
Y . W . C . A . has had a very good year. There were over eighty Y . W . C . A .
members, and forty of them were busy each Su n d a y with Su n d a y schools,
children’s meetings, and visits to the Slave Refuge, Almshouse, etc. After
the revival meetings twelve evangelistic bands were formed in the school.
O n Christmas day 234 of the girls and teachers went to twelve different
places with gifts, bringing the Christmas message to 2160 people.
T h e school had an enrollment of over 250, of w h o m 100 were boarders
in the dormitory.

Statistics cannot give the true picture of the w o r k being done in the
school. W o u l d that w e might bring you into personal touch with these girls
that you might, learn to k n o w and love them. W e count on your prayers
and. interest, for thus you m a y share in this w o r k for the Master.

Amoy Girls’ Primary School— T h e A m o y Girls’ Primary School had
an enrollment of 333 the first term and 326 the second term, with 415 n a mes
in all on the roll. O f these, 4 0 % c a m e from Christian homes. There were
forty boarders in the dormitory. In addition to the Principal, M r . Shao,
there w a s a staff of nineteen w o m e n teachers, sixteen full-time and three
part-time.

T h e Religious Education classes were held as before at the noon recess,
each class having a period a day of such instruction. Attendance at church
and S u n d a y school w a s voluntary, and 273 children attended, 124 of them
having a perfect attendance at both for the whole term, and 46 others
missing only one Sunday. After the revival meetings in October four
preaching bands were formed, and these girls g o to the Hospital on
Saturday afternoons and gather in about eighty neighborhood children on
Su n d a y afternoons for Children’s Meetings. T h e Junior C. E. has had a
very happy year and the children have been very m u c h helped by it.
A t Christmas time $62. w a s contributed
five w o m e n and forty children were m a d e
addition to this service* the children gave $40.
ary Society and $64. to the Chinese Mission
by the children, and seventyhappy by gifts of cloth. In
to the Chinese H o m e Mission
to Lepers.
T h e Dormitory and Religious Center spent $3,155.77 during the year,
of which $280. w a s a grant f r o m America, the rest being raised on the
field. Tuition fees, amounting to over $6,000., were received during the
year and expended by the B o ard of M a n a g e r s in carrying on the w o r k of
the school.
T h e school took part in the athletic meet for the district sponsored by
the B o ard of Education, and the girls were thrilled with their trophies w o n
— five banners, two silver shields, and a loving-cup.
W e ask for your prayers for this school, that these m a n y lives m a y be
w o n for Christ.

Charlotte Duryee Bible School for Women — Another year has passed—
a year of telling the old, old story of Jesus and His love to those w h o
sorely need H i m , of helping Christians to understand the Bible better, of
teaching the non-Christian, pupils to read so that they also m a y k n o w its
precious truths by the seeing of the eye as well as by the hearing of the ear.
T h e school started in ,1884 has n o w passed its fiftieth birthday. Miss
Talmage, w h o has been head of the school for twenty-four years, resigned
at the end of 1933 and Miss Duryee w a s appointed in her place. Miss
T a l m a g e is held in loving remembrance a n d gratitude by hundreds of
w o m e n w h o have been under her influence.
A t the beginning of the year Miss H o became Principal of the school.
T h e former Principal remains as teacher and the other teachers still
remain with us. W e have added one m o r e w h o teaches only half time.
Miss Talmage, Miss Morrison and Miss Du r y e e also take classes.
O u r pupils divide roughly into t w o classes, those w h o are already
Christians and c o m e for further instruction and Bible study and those w h o
k n o w very little or nothing of' Christianity w h e n they come.
Mrs. Love, w h o did s o m e Bible W o m a n ’s w o r k in what w a s once a
notorious robber village between A m o y and Tong-an, c a m e back for one
term of study. S h e has n o w returned to the sa m e village, taking with her
Miss Tee, a former pupil. She reports great destitution a m o n g the people,
o w ing to loss of crops through the prolonged drought, but she also tells
of real interest a m o n g the w o m e n and increased attendance at church.
T w o of our o w n older.Bible W o m e n , as well as one from the English
Presbyterian Mission and one from the L o n d o n Missionary Society have
been enrolled as pupils, and the L.M.S. has taken on two n e w Bible W o m e n
w h o studied in the school.
Mrs. Gold, another pupil, w e hope will soon be ready for work. She
was a Christian and a regular church attendant for m a n y years at the
little chapel in the village of K a n g thau. She studied long enough in the
W o m a n ’s School to learn to read, but she used to say she could not under
stand the Bible and w h e n urged to return to the school always said she
could not leave home. She had an ambition, as she told us this term,
that her sons should have a position in the world. T h e elder son studied
to be a doctor and after graduation opened a hospital of his o w n in a place
east of Tong-an. She went to live with her son and w e lost sight of her
until she suddenly appeared at the school in February to be enrolled as a
pupil. H e r doctor son had died, the second son had very little to do and
the mother realized that her former ambitions were in vain. She seems
very m u c h in earnest now. She spent so m e weeks last s u m m e r in an un
reached district west of T o n g - a n where she has a married daughter, given
a w a y as a child before Mrs. Gold became a Christian.
Another quite different case is a girl of eighteen w h o c a m e to us at
the beginning of the year. She w a s brought by a preacher of the chapel
in her village. Im-a belongs to a well-to-do heathen family. H e r mother
is an opium smoker, and she herself had begun to take opium. T h e old
grandmother, a very zealous idolater, w a s willing to have the girl c o m e
to school to escape the influence of the mother. S h e w a s not a prepossess
ing person; her progress w a s slow, but she learned to read and studied an
easy Life of Christ and a little book of O l d Testament stories. She spent
most of the s u m m e r in school as her village w a s disturbed by bandits. She
had the fall term, as well, and expressed her fixed determination to be a
Christian. W e heard she could not c o m e back after the winter vacation—
that her grandmother had betrothed her to a heathen. This girl needs our
special prayers. Just w h e n she is to be married w e d o not know, but for a
y oung w o m a n to worship G o d in a heathen family requires Divine strength.
In the a u t u m n the w o m e n h a d the opportunity of attending Dr. S u n g ’s
revival meetings and received m u c h blessing. These meetings were also the
m eans of bringing us three n e w day-pupils. O n e w a s the fourth wife of a
very noted bandit chief, n o w dead. Apparently she had never heard any
thing of Christianity until she joined the throngs w h o listened to Dr. Sung.
She learned to read the colloquial in the few weeks she w a s in school. H e r
sister w h o w a s visiting her also c a m e to school and learned to read a very
simple catechism before she w a s sent for to return to her husband’s h o m e
in a very distant mountain village. Will the seed s o w n bear fruit? Only
G o d knows.
T h e school needs larger accommodation. Seventy-one pupils enrolled
the first term and fifty-four the second. T h e need for an additional build
ing is very great and for increased appropriations still greater. Since 1932
the Mission appropriation, never large, has been cut fifty percent and
without s o m e relief w e shall find it difficult to carry on. ' But w e believe
“It m a y not be m y way, It m a y not be thy way, But yet in His o w n w a y
T h e Lord will provide.”
Before closing I want to express the hope that Dr. Z w e m e r ’s n e w
book “Thinking Missions W i t h Christ” m a y be read by all w h o m a y be
perplexed or w h o need their vision cleared, that w e on the field and you at
h o m e m a y always realize “w h a t is central in our missionary w o r k and
where the chief emphasis should be laid.”

Pity-Little-Children Home — T h e year opened with a sad event. Pity,
one of the oldest girls in the H o m e and a church member, w a s married by
her o w n choice to a non-Christian and a m e m b e r of a purely heathen
family. She w a s introduced to h i m while she w a s studying to become a
kindergarten teacher and later became engaged to him, all without our
knowledge. H e is a graduate of the Military A c a d e m y in N a n k i n g but
at present they are living at his home. W e bespeak your most earnest
prayers for Pity and her husband.'
A happier piece of news is the marriage of Sun-an on the fourteenth of
October to Dr. U n g Hoai-gee of the English Presbyterian hospital in
Chinchew. Sun-an left the H o m e some' years ago to study nursing and
then midwifery at our Mission hospital here in Kolongsu. After graduation
she was employed in the Maternity Hospital in A m o y . T h e engagement w a s
celebrated by a little tea in our o w n home. This marriage seems satisfactory
in every way.
After Pity w a s married the year went on quietly. O u r temporary
matron, the wife of a preacher, left to go with her husband to his n e w
place of work. Miss Jin Po-chhai, a former inmate of the H o m e , c a m e
to be matron.
O f the children two older ones, both partially crippled and too dull
to g o on with their studies, help in the w o r k of the H o m e . L o v e is still
teaching in our W o m a n ’s School and Received Grace is doing well at
Middle School. F o u r are studying in the Primary School and three little
ones are in the H o m e , still too y o ung to study. But even .these little ones
help in the housework, sweeping the tile floors or doing s o m e little w o r k
in the kitchen.
T w o n e w children have been received during the year.
O n e is a
little blind girl, five years old, w h o w a s brought to us from the country.
T h e child’s mother had given her a w a y to another w o m a n , but after little
Watermelon-seed became blind the foster mother gave her back to her
o w n mother. Desperately poor herself, she sent the child to us asking that
w e take her in. H o w could w e refuse? W e hope that w h e n the opportunity
to send her to F o o c h o w offers, the School for Blind Girls there m a y be
willing to take her. H e r n a m e has been changed to Beautiful Grace. T h e
second child is about ten j'ears old. She w a s o w n e d by a w o m a n in A m o y
w h o has be c o m e a hearer lin the Riverside church, and w h ose daughter-in
law is a pupil in our W o m a n ’s School. This w o m a n buys children to be
her daughters (?) and later marries th e m off, presumably at a profit.
Evidently she found she had m a d e a bad bargain w h e n she bought Quiet.
Perhaps so m e pity for the child stirred her heart or the daughter’s arid
they brought the child to us. W e said w e would take her on trial. O n e
a r m is quite helpless and she is very dull, but she is going to school and w e
hope will improve.
T h u s the end of the year sees the H o m e with eleven inmates. Three
blind girls are still at the school in F o o c h o w and the H o m e is still helping
four mothers with m o n e y to care for their children, in one case an adopted
baby picked up after she had been thrown a w a y by her mother. In all,
the H o m e has twenty-seven children under its care.
W e ask your prayers for these children and your gifts for the H o m e .

Medical Work
Training School for Nurses— W i t h the furlough of Miss Nienhuis
great responsibilities were shifted to m u c h less experienced shoulders—
but G o d has proved His guidance over and over and w e believe that His
hand has been on the wheel throughout the year. W e were fortunate and
happy to have Miss Jessie Platz c o m e to help fill the great gap m a d e by
Miss Nienhuis’ absence.
W h e n the School of Nursing w a s founded in 1925 the aim of the
founder (Miss Nienhuis) w a s to produce Christian nurses for C h i n a y o ung people not only trained in the art of nursing with a love for the
work, but ready to serve both body and soul because the Lo v e of Christ is
in their hearts. W e , today, still have this purpose and w e are happy indeed
with the Christian spirit manifested a m o n g the graduates and the students.
This year t w o of our students, one a third year and one a second year
student, were baptized and received into the Church. Both are from nonChristian families and have been attending a preparatory class in the local
church for over a year. T h e one gets no opposition but no support for her
Christian life from her family; the other gets only opposition. This fall
four others entered this preparatory class— t w o from Christian h o m e s and
two from non-Christian,— all former students of our A m o y Girls’ Middle
School.
M a n y of the students are eagerly doing voluntary evangelistic w o r k in
the hospital. It is gratifying to see them teaching patients to read h y m n s
and the Bible. W e learned of two patients from heathen homes, who,
while still in the hospital, learned to b o w their heads a n d to thank G o d for
each meal as it w a s served th e m — a little boy of ten and an old w o m a n .
T h e little boy is a ray of sunshine in the w a r d as, with his leg in a cast,
he smiles and sings the h y m n s he has learned since his arrival in the
hospital.
W e have tried to raise the educational standards of the school by being
m o r e strict with the pupils. H a v i n g a higher grade student than two
years ago (ninth grade graduate is n o w our m i n i m u m requirement) w e can
hope for m o r e progress along this line. O n e year of senior high school w o r k
is our m a x i m u m in this year’s n e w class, and this for one student only—
the public in A m o y -does not yet generally welcome nursing for an educated
girl. O u r curriculum is, as it has been since the beginning of the school,
the required curriculum of the Nurses’ Association of China. W e have
added a class in public health nursing this year, and although the practical
w o r k will have to c o m e m o r e slowly than the teaching, it is our goal.
W e are grateful and indebted to every doctor on our staff, both
Chinese and foreign, for their capable help in teaching. Their willingness
to be of service to the school is an inspiration to us, for w e k n o w that
this added w o r k of teaching is no small burden in their already busy days.
T h e untiring efforts of Miss Platz in the classroom and in w a r d supervising
have their reward in improved nursing care of the patients on the part of
the students. W e are also grateful to the Chinese supervisors w h o willingly
take on the added w o r k of teaching. E n o u g h cannot be said of the loyalty
of these supervisors to the superintendent of nurses, to the school, to the
institution as a whole. Their spirit cannot be excelled. T h e y are all active
Christians and their prayers, I a m certain, have been one of the means of
strength for us this year.
W e have tried also to raise the standards of nursing at A m o y Lying-in
Hospital. A shortage of graduate nurses has m a d e it impossible to give
th e m another nurse as they need, but the nurses w e have are ready to do
what they can in the w a y of progress. A t present w e have one. supervisor
and two midwifery students at this hospital, w h o do both night and day
work. I include the supervisor here in m y com m e n t s above on loyalty.
A t H o p e Hospital w e n o w have five graduate nurses, one of w h o m
alternates by months doing night and day duty. W e are handicapped by
not being able to get a permanent supervisor for night duty— the alternate
m o n t h students must be in charge, and the responsibility of 60 to 100
patients or m o r e is really too great for them. It requires m o r e of our
watching and guidance, too. This year w e have three midwifery students
and twenty-four student, nurses.
T h e calls for graduate nurses c o m e faster than w e can produce them..
YVe ourselves should like more. Up-country hospitals c o m e to us with
requests. A t present this is the only registered School of Nursing in the
vicinity.
O u r numbers are increasing, and as the public continues to
appreciate m o r e and m o r e the value of Christian nurses parents will be
happier to let their educated daughters come.
T h e year has been very happy and very busy. T o be allowed to w o r k
in a Christian hospital with a Christian school is indeed a great privilege
and w e thank G o d for it. W e thank all our friends for their prayers for
us and w e beseech th e m 1 to continue thus to r e m e m b e r us.

Evangelistic Work
Last term one of our Bible W o m e n went to the A m o y W o m a n ’s School
to take advantage of the “refresher’s course” proposed by the Mission. Since
then she has been out in the field doing very good work. O w i n g to the
lack of funds one Bible w o m a n w a s asked to resign in June. It seems a
pity w h e n the w o r k is so needed and the workers are so few. T h e third
Bible w o m a n has been in the field all the year. All day she goes out
witnessing, in the evening she teaches men, w o m e n a n d children to read,
and on Su n d a y she preaches. These faithful workers do a valuable piece
of w o r k and bring m a n y into the Ki n g d o m . In one place as m a n y as 20
pupils studied for a period of six weeks while the Bible w o m a n w a s there.
Children’s Meetings— There is always a call for Children’s Meetings.
T h e meeting went on at the Center during the year. T h e group is divided
into three groups so that the older ones can learn to read. W e use the
catechism for our text book.
T h e meeting at the North Gate is conducted in a private home. YVe
started a reading class there this year and, so far, it seems to be very
popular.
T h e meeting at the W e s t Gate is held in an old-time school. W e were
invited to c o m e by the old teacher, w h o is an Elder in the church and a
very earnest Christian. H e has about 26 pupils from 8 to IS years of age
and they are all keen to sing and to hear about the Gospel. W e started
the w o r k at this school in January. T h e hour I spend at the W e s t Gate
is the happiest in the week. T h e boys have h y m n books-and w e never sing
enough to satisfy them. T h e rest of us are sung hoarse but the boys could
go. on forever. A t Christmas w e gave each boy a small N e w Testament.
Nothing could have pleased them more. E very Sunday they c o m e out in
a body to attend church and it seems impossible for them to settle d o w n
until they have caught our eye and smiled and b o w e d a half dozen times
to us.
A t Christmas these three big groups invited three other groups to
join us at the Girls’ School for our program. T h e y c a m e from the North,
East, South and YVest. A s each group c a m e in a body they m a d e quite
an impression on the city.
General News— The; C h a n g - c h o w branch of. the H o m e Missionary
■ Society contributed $152. during the year. W e have nearly 100 members.
Countless Evangelistic groups go out witnessing each week. A n u m b e r
of Bible classes are held, throughout the city.
E a c h m o n t h a U n i o n Prayer Meeting is held for the w o m e n of - the
four churches.

Chang-chow Girls’ School— Number of teachers: full time, S w o m e n ,
1 m a n ; part time, 3 w o m e n , 1 man. N u m b e r of pupils: first term, 161;
second term, 142. A little over half the pupils are from Christian homes.
T h e Mission contributed $698. and. $1561. w a s raised on the field. T h e
school is working towards self support, but unless business conditions pick
up it will be s o m e years before this can be realized. T h e school is “in the
red” $65 this year and if it had not been for the generous help of a few
missionary friends it would have been in the hole a great deal deeper.
Last spring the B oard of M a n a g e r s asked Mr. V a n der M e e r and Miss
Bruce to serve o n the Board.
A t Christmas time the school suffered a great loss.in the death of
M r . Lim, the Principal’s husband. All these years he has been a loyal
friend to the school. H e w a s Secretary and Treasurer of the B o ard of
Managers. During the Principal’s absence in A m o y , caring for her husband,
the teachers carried all her w o r k to save the expense of a substitute teacher.
N e ver once did they complain but at all times showed a beautiful Christian
spirit.
All through the year, Bible and chapel went on as usual— outside of
school hours. In the early fall a personal workers’ band w a s formed to
try to win the non-Christian girls to Christ. After the S u n g meetings a
n u m b e r of evangelistic bands were formed. These went out each week.
O n Su n d a y afternoon some of the graduates c a m e and helped in the Sunday
School. A n u m b e r of the pupils brought their younger brothers and sisters
to this class. T w o of our fine teachers joined the church during the year.
A t Christmas the school gave their p r o gram for the five Children’s
Meetings of the city— and contributed over fifteen dollars for the Leper
w o r k and for the poor people in the T e n g - c h e w district.
Women’s School— In June w e graduated our first pupil. She studied
four years and did excellent work. W e were glad to give her a diploma.
She is n o w a preacher’s wife, working in an up-country chapel. F o r two
years she did practical work, helping in the Children’s Meetings. She also
plays the organ very nicely. During the year seven pupils studied organ,
one a pastor’s wife and t w o others wives' of preachers. W e feel this is no
small contribution to the Church.
T w o girls from the T e n g - c h o w district are studying and preparing for
Bible W o m a n ’s work. T h e y are m a k i n g rapid progress. T w o of the older
girls help with the Children’s Meeting at the North gate each week. T h e y
also give a chapel talk once a week. Thirteen pupils were enrolled this
term. T h e students did all the cooking and cleaning in the school to help
save expense. E v ery free minute they were busy knitting, embroidering or
doing bead work. Progress w a s m a d e in every line but singing, and of that
I despair.
Bui Sian-si did most of the teaching. O n Saturdays she would g o out
with a preaching band. She is an Elder in the church and is Treasurer of the
C h a n g - c h o w branch of the W o m a n ’s H o m e Missionary Society. She is
a very fine Christian and all the students love her.

. In and Around Talmage College— During the year 1934 m y w o r k w a s
mostly in a n d around the school. I taught three classes English and con
tinued the usual class in Hygiene in the British Middle School for Girls.
All our T a l m a g e students were given a physical examination at the
beginning of the term and they have been m o r e appreciative of the help
I could give t h e m during the year. Several n e w students c a m e with sores
several months old, so for so m e time I had six dressings a day, besjdes
treatments for scabies, ear-ache, conjunctivitis, etc. T h e boys have also
improved in their spirit of co-operation and are m o r e willing to attend to
the needs of those students w h o are ill in bed.
After the S u n g Revival Meetings in the fall groups went out preaching
and teaching. After joining one of the groups w e started home-visitation
and teaching w o m e n , and organized a Children’s Meeting for the youngsters
near our school. This has m a d e for m o r e friendly relations a m o n g our

E a c h Center has at least one person or family that has left heathenism
and is learning to walk the “Heavenly R o a d ”. O n e w o m a n c a m e out
boldly but later, through trouble and persistent urgings of her relatives,
seemed to be going back. N o w , however, she is m o r e earnest and w e
believe her faith is growing. O n e family w a s led to see the folly of
living in an old tumble-down house while their n e w h o m e stood empty
because of superstitious fear. In spite of the ridicule of neighbors they
m o v e d into their n e w h o m e and pasted Bible verses on the doors and
windows. F r o m another Center t w o families c o m e to church every Sunday.
F o r th e m the happiest days in the w e e k are Su n d a y and the day the
meeting is held in their place. During the w e e k they often say to each
other, “ S o m a n y m o r e days and it is Su n d a y and w e can g o to church.”
O n e Center is definitely a Children’s Meeting. T h e meeting is well attended
and the children have m a d e good progress in learning h y m n s and Bible
stories. S o m e of the older boys and girls have greatly pleased us because
they not only rem e m b e r the lessons from w e e k to w e e k but. at the end
of the term remembered the important points of each lesson story. Surely
the seed s o w n in these hearts will bring forth fruit.
Woman’s Missionary Society— A Hospital Auxiliary w a s organized in
order to help the m e m b e r s of the Missionary Society realize that they
should give not only their m o n e y but also their w o r k and time to the Lord. •
T h e plan is to meet once a m o n t h to. spend an afternoon working for the
hospital. T h e y fold gauze, m a k e cotton balls, sew garments and do w h a t
ever w o r k the nurse can find for them. T h e y sing while they are busy
and before they separate they g o to the wards for a short service. T h e
w o m e n w h o cannot go out to preach and teach are m o r e eager to belong
to the Auxiliary.
A Mothers’ meeting w a s started in the n e w year with the purpose of
teaching y oung mothers h o w to take better care of their babies, h o w
to give their children Christian training, and h o w to be good Christian
mothers. Mrs. K o e p p e m a d e a splendid leader and w e are sorry that w e
have not been able to carry it on while she is away.
During the s u m m e r fourteen w o m e n went to A m o y to attend the
conference which is sponsored each year by the Leaders of the W o m a n ’s
Missionary Society of South Fukien. All w h o attended c a m e back very
enthusiastic. It w a s very êvident that they had received a n e w vision of
the Lord and Master. T h e y not only have m o r e joy in their Christian
life but they also are m o t e eager to tell of this joy to others.
Up-Country Visiting— More peaceful political conditions and the change
in the W o m e n ’s School p r o gram m a d e it possible for us to spend a greater
a m o u n t of time in the District. Five short-term schools or institutes
were held in different chapels throughout the District during the year,
t w o of which were carried on entirely by Chinese workers. In October
a very successful school w a s held at Eng-te-thau with about 33 in atten
dance. T h e y were interested in Bible study and those w h o could not read
were keen to learn. A few y o ung w o m e n c a m e w h o had not been to
church before. O n e of them w a s beaten by her husband and mother-in-law,
w h o both opposed Christianity, but she continued to c o m e because she
said she wanted to become a Christian. T w o y o ung w o m e n are prepar
ing to be baptized.
1
In N o v e m b e r Miss V a n d e r Linden and I spent two weeks in the
A n - k h o e District visiting three of the chapels and holding a short term
school at K u - k h o e for ten days. This w a s a great encouragement to
the y o ung preacher and his wife and helped them realize the importance
of teaching the people to read. S o m e n e w ones became interested and
have continued to c o m e to the services. Twenty-seven studied regularly
and even a few m e n took up the lessons with the w o m e n and children.
A s w e were leaving they showered upon us gifts of cakes and fruits to
sustain us o n the long journey and so m e had even collected a little m o n e y
to help pay our travel expenses.
Hospital Evangelism— T h e faithful Bible W o m a n at the Hospital re
ports that she feels certain of ten patients w h o c a m e in k n o wing nothing
about the Gospel and left with a fixed determination to be Christians.
O n e y o u n g m a n w h o had his feet badly burned while carrying the idols
through the fire listened gladly to the message of a G o d of Love. During
his illness he learned to pray and often sang so m e of the hymns. H e told
the Bible W o m a n he had decided to be a Christian. Another pitiful case
w a s a boy eighteen years old w h o w a s badly burned while burning idola
trous paper. After hearing the Gospel he realized his sinful condition
and longed to k n o w m o r e about worshipping the T r u e God. T h e Bible
W o m a n taught h i m and later he told her that w h e n the pain w a s intense he
found relief praying to God.
Since he has been in the hospital for
several weeks he has memorized h y m n s and Bible verses and n o w he is
learning to read. His one desire is to lead his little sister and his mother
to k n o w the “doctrine”. T h e Gospel story fell like music on the ears
of an old w o m a n w h o c a m e in with sore eyes. She w a s eager to
learn the choruses and Bible verses. Perhaps because she could not see
she really seemed to be m o r e in earnest and repeated these songs whole
heartedly. She, too, left the hospital desiring to follow Christ. A young
m a n fr o m a heathen h o m e w a s soon impressed by the Christian message.
Being able to wa l k he c a m e downstairs every evening for prayers and
Bible study. After he w a s well he prolonged his stay in order to learn
m o r e of the W a y of Salvation. H e w a s greatly helped by the local
revival meetings and has promised to read the Bible and pray every day.
H e has gone back to his village with a happy heart, eager to tell others
the reason for his joy. There are others w h o promised to read the Bible
every day and s o m e w h o have been attending church since they left the
hospital. E v ery evening there are classes held in the chapel, and patients
w h o are able attend. S o m e are taught to read the Romanized, others
hymns, and s o m e study the Bible. This is followed by a prayer service.
Christmas Observance— O u r report would be incomplete if we» did not
say something about Christmas. Formerly so m e of the school teachers and
pupils c a m e early to sing carols, but this year the w o m e n wanted a
share in the singing, too. Plans were m a d e whereby the school should
begin and as they went along others would join th e m and all meet at the
church at six A. M . for a prayer service. A t 2 o’clock the school w a s out
singing carols, and shortly after three the w o m e n appeared. W h y so
early? T h e y were so happy they could not wait any longer. It w a s a
beautiful moonlight morning as w e went singing d o w n the road, and the
w o m e n seemed inspired with the true Christmas joy, for their faces were
aglow with happiness. Before five o’clock w e started the prayer meeting
with over a hundred present. It w a s a great event. T o think of being
surrounded by heathen darkness, with people bound by fear and sin,
and w e singing of the Saviour w h o c a m e to bring peace and love,— it did
thrill our hearts.
For all w h o have helped through their prayers and gifts to m a k e this
w o r k possible w e give thanks, and w e ask you to continue in prayer for
the w o m e n and for the workers that w e m a y so abide in Christ that w e
shall be able to be spiritual leaders, helping these w o m e n ever o n w a r d in
the Church of God.

Educational Work
Tong-an Women’s School— In the beginning of the year, with a de
crease in appropriation, w e found it impossible to carry on the w o r k in
the W o m e n ’s School as had been done in former years. Fees could not
be raised because of poor harvests. Therefore, instead of a long school
term for a few w e changed to two sessions a term of two weeks each in
order to benefit m o r e w o m e n in a shorter period of time.
A t the first session 22 w o m e n c a m e for instruction. S o m e were not
able to read; others could enter Bible classes. T h e diligent ones m a d e
great progress and were surprised to see h o w soon they could read. A t
the close s o m e of the “n e w hearers” testified that they understood the
“doctrine” so m u c h better and the Christians felt they h a d received spiritual
food which would help them live a m o r e consecrated life. But the great
est evidence of the success of the school w a s s h o w n in the complete
change of a sad old lady. T h e Bible W o m a n brought her, as she was
desirous of having her learn to read. N o t only w a s the old lady eager
to read but she w a s also keen to learn the songs and listened attentively
to the Gospel message. Not, however, until near the close of the session
did she realize that T r u e Happiness, is found only in Christ. W h a t joy
flooded her heart w h e n she decided to give up her idols and trust Christ
for salvation. She w a s so happy she did not k n o w wh a t to do. W h e n
the second session
opened1 shereturned, longing to k n o w m o r e about God.
A t the second
session 35 others entered w h o were in
various stages of
understanding the W a y of, Salvation.
T h e Fall session w a s less successful, for it w a s during the harvest
season and only 11 came. H o w e v e r there w a s one y o u n g w o m a n w h o
m a d e such unusual progress in the study of the Christian Truth that w e felt
it w a s well worth while. '§he is a bright y o ung w o m a n w h ose husband
died shortly after they married and, as she w a s a stranger in her hus
band’s home, it w a s not queer she wanted to leave. In looking for a
peaceful, happy place, she heard about the W o m e n ’s School and c a m e to
“look see”. T h e happy faces of the w o m e n , the spirit of love that w a s
manifested a m o n g
th e m and the whole atmosphere of the school m a d e
her decide to try it out. Because of family difficulties she studied only
a short time. During the time between leaving school and returning for
the Fall session she studied at home, ma k i n g such progress as is seldom
found. Before the session closed she said that she wanted to be a Chris
tian. S h e is the only one fr o m her village w h o comes to church. Truly
it seems another case o f 1the L o r d ’s calling His O w n .
W e ask prayer that in these school sessions w e m a y be able to teach
the w o m e n to read the Bible, to help th e m to g r o w in the knowledge of
Jesus Christ, and to be of service to H i m in the Church.

VELLORE
Evangelistic Work
The Hancock Memorial Social Center— Down through the centuries
m e n have been building, some for time and so m e for eternity. W e are
trying to do both. O u r H o u s e of Prayer and Kindergarten Shelter were
finished after writing our report last year. W e have builded a temple
to the glory of G o d and w e are glad that the H i n d u w o m e n , together with
the children, enjoy worshiping in it. T h e H i n d u people tell us that w e
have m a d e a real contribution to the spiritual need of the people.
O u r daily Chapel and religious meetings are Indianized as far as
possible and the people enjoy the simplicity of these gatherings.
O u r Kindergarten Shelter, in the form of a substantial shed, is very
useful to the little ones and is m u c h admired by our m a n y visitors.
O u r school is n o w a Higher Elementary School and it is growing
rapidly. W e have a daily attendance of nearly 250 pupils, so m e of th
wid o w s and married w o m e n . Almost weekly w e have to refuse admisSi
to the children of eager parents. All our teachers are serving on the
sacrificial basis, and the spirit of both teachers and pupils in loyalty to the
school and in appreciation of the Christian principles for which the school
stands has never been better. T h e withdrawal of m u c h of the H o m e
Ch u r c h ’s support has caused us to face the stern realities of life with fresh
courage. T h e School Literary Society and Parents’ Meetings are conducted
regularly.
'
O u r A s h r a m life is another phase of the c o m p o u n d activities. O u r
afternoon classes are regularly conducted for those w h o can no longer
study at school. W i t h our fortnightly lectures and vespers on Sundays w e
teach the older w o m e n of Christ. W e have four centers in the city where
meetings are held for w o m e n in H i n d u homes. .
Simple dramas, given in our open-air Playhouse, wonderfully please
and instruct our w o m e n .
T h e house-to-house visitation still continues through the w o r k of our
Bible W o m e n , and not a few of our H i n d u friends seek our prayers and
welcome our message of Christ’s love.
W e are endeavoring to connect up all our religious and secular w o r k
with the A s h r a m at the center. (Mrs. H e n r y ) L avina D. M . H onegger
Viruthampet— Six year old Erskine prays, “Oh, dear God, please put
a fence of angels all round our c o m p o u n d so that the cholera and small-pox
and sore eye flies can’t get in”— and his mother daily echoes his prayer.
For here, on the Training School Compo u n d , w e are closely ringed by
villages, and little groups of children c o m e to our M odel School every day
fr o m h o m e s where there are contagious diseases, and their parents con
stantly visit the bungalow with every kind of request.
O u r w o r k in the two neighboring villages has gone on this year along
the same lines as before. T w o mornings a w e e k the Bible W o m a n
collects and encourages sick people to c o m e to the Hospital A m b u l a n c e
Dispensary under the trees at our gateway. Three mornings she visits in
the homes,— 36 of them,— following through a regular course of Bible stories.
In the afternoons she teaches reading to girls in their h o m e s or goes
a m o n g the w o m e n in the little Christian community, teaching th e m Bible
verses and h y m n s and helping them to understand and join in the Sunday
church services. There is a w o m a n belonging to the outcaste section of
Viruthampet w h o wants to be baptized, and the Bible W o m a n is teaching
her the simple facts she must understand before the pastor will accept
her for baptism. In all this w o r k I join in as regularly as I can. This
is only a bare outline of our duties, for w e are all on call day or night
for any of the tragedies or celebrations of the village homes.
During a w e e k in September the Training School students were in
c a m p in three m o r e remote villages, separated from our c o m p o u n d by one,
three and four miles of dyked rice fields, and the Bible W o m a n and I
visited these villages daily, preaching, advising diets for sick babies, urging
the sick to c o m e to our dispensary, and being friendly with these people
w h o send their children to our school and c o m e to us with numerous needs.
Please pray for this work, that all our attempts to help these backward
w o m e n m a y be richly blessed by H i m w h o gave so m u c h of His time and
love to village folk.

CHITTOOR
Evangelistic Work
Bible Women — It has been a year of steady, regular work, with not
so m u c h color in it as there has been in other years, perhaps; yet in the
grayer days germinate the seeds for something beautiful ahead.
During this year two Bible W o m e n have been pensioned and the
remaining two have been given half-time w o r k and a 5 0 % cut in salary.
O n e of them, Mrs. R a t n a m Isaiah, writes: “I a m so thankful for the health
and strength m y Heavenly Father has given m e to do His glorious w o r k
a m o n g y o u n g and old in the H i n d u homes. T h o u g h m y salary w a s reduced
to half-pay, I m a d e up m y m i n d not to reduce m y service in His holy
cause. I k n o w that you will join us in this w o r k by prayer through the
coming year— a prayer of hope that G o d will bless your w o r k there and
ours here, that His K i n g d o m m a y c o m e into every heart in the world.”
T h e other Chittoor Bible W o m a n , Mrs. Joseph, writes: “T h e people
greet m e with smiling faces. I a m n o w teaching the children of the mothers
w h o m I used to teach so m e years ago. I w a s able to teach one young
w i d o w sufficiently in her h o m e to m a k e it possible for her to go to school
now. I believe that your prayers are with us and that in the near future
a great change is going to be brought about.”
Church— In the Chittoor Church a group has been formed which is
looking forward to carrying on voluntary personal Evangelistic work. It is
a group in the making, trying to find the w a y through prayer, and through
self-discipline, waiting for His guidance for use in the future w o r k of
building His K i n g d o m through the m e d i u m of the Church.
Gridley Girls’ School— T h e last Friday of every m o n t h has been the
school’s Competition D a y in Recitation, Singing, Sewing a n d Hand-work.
Simple prizes were given to the best competitors. There w a s a fine spirit
a m o n g the H i n d u as well as a m o n g the Christian children, w h o refused to
be jealous or discouraged if they got no prizes.
This year one of the Gridley School girls is to be graduated from the
S h e r m a n Memorial Girls’ H i g h School, though usually the H i n d u girls do
not have the opportunity to continue studying beyond the Fifth Class.
T h e Sunday School connected with this school has been growing in
interest year by year. This year w e have a Children’s Church to which
the Christian and H i n d u children come. Their little hearts and minds are
busy with plans to collect m o n e y to buy Christmas presents for their
village sisters w h o have so little.
M ar y E. G eegh
Educational W o r k
Beattie Memorial Training School and Model School— This has been
a year of faith and hard labor. O u r school opened with one teacher less
than usual. Another change w a s the coming of Miss Jessie Paul in place
of a teacher w h o left last year. W e have a Junior Training Class of
twenty added to the Senior class of twenty-four. W e are glad to have
one H i n d u day-scholar and w e hope that m o r e H i n d u students will join
the school in the future.
'
T h e annual school inspection w a s a pleasant change in the regular w o r k
of study, play, domestic w o r k and gardening. T h e students take a lively
interest in the Girl Guide M o v e m e n t as Rangers. T h e Rangers and little
Blue Birds were inspired with n e w enthusiasm by the enjoyable visit of
Miss Croft-Watts, the All-India Guide Trainer. A few of the teachers
and students are taking extra drawing lessons in preparation for the
G o v ernment D r a w i n g Examination. T h e y will then be qualified drawing
teachers.
A t the beginning of October Chittoor had heavy rains. During one of
the stormy nights part of the Training School hostel roof c a m e down.
Fortunately the students all escaped injury. T h e students have had to
vacate the hostel which had been their h o m e and g o to live in one of the
S h e r m a n Memorial H i g h School’s cottages, which w a s vacant.
This year the M o d e l School w a s decreased in numbers because w e
had less boarding concessions to offer. T h e little children are happy and
lively as usual. T h e y are doing their share in contributing to the Self
denial F u n d for the Arcot Assembly by taking part in an entertainment
and representing children of other lands. T h e y are also spending s o m e of
their Su n d a y School m o n e y in m a k i n g little dresses for the village children
w h o are less fortunate than they are.
K itty E benezer , Acting Headmistress
Sherman Memorial Girts" High School— O u r staff has been reduced
by three, and the rest of us have to divide the w o r k a m o n g us. W e cannot
afford n e w books, n e w maps, materials for sewing and hand work, materials
for practical H o m e Science lessons or for the other projects that were
once our specialty. Far worse than any material loss, however, is the loss
of so m a n y girls of the type w h o m this School w a s founded to help.
H owever, w e still exist thankfully and carry on even without all the •
trimmings. W e are still striving to give to every girl w h o comes to us
the best training of which w e are capable. W e are blessed in having a
loyal, devoted group of teachers, w h o carry on cheerfully although their
salary decreases in proportion as their teaching load increases. W e
believe that long before our material structure w a s complete a spiritual
22

.
structure w a s being built which will outlast our brick walls.
Girls of this conservative H i n d u to w n are beginning to c o m e to us.
E v e n if the girls of our Christian c o m m unity must give up the luxury of
boarding-school there is a big w o r k w e can do for the H i n d u and M o h a m
m e d a n and Christian girls of this to w n of Chittoor, w h o want and need
what .we have to give them. W e wonder if our adversity is an indication
from G o d that here should lie our chief service in the future.
W h e n w e count our blessings, one of the biggest of them is the loan
of Miss Clara Coburn, w h o c a m e to us in October, fresh fr o m her fur
lough, w h e n w e were tired a n d discouraged, and helped us to finish the
year’s work- with n e w energy and enthusiasm.
Miss Doris Wells directs the religious education of the School in a
w a y that has brought g;reat benefit both to teachers and taught. D a y by
day w e are trying to g r o w in the power to “Laugh,— and Love,— and Lift.”

Evangelistic W o r k
There are t w o Bible W o m e n working in Madanapalle t o w n and three
in villages. Their salaries are reduced but they have continued working
as usual, with n o grumbling, though they have had a hard time trying to
m a k e ends meet. O n e of t h e m said: “If w e should give up this w o r k it
would be like drawing clouds across the sun and m e n would be like tender
plants that have sprouted a m o n g thorns or like lamps that have gone out.”
W e held our third S u m m e r School, June 14th to 18th (1934), for
Bible W o m e n , catechists’ wives and selected delegates from our Christian
villages at the Madanapalle Girls’ Boarding School while the girls were
a w a y for the holidays. Fifty-eight w o m e n attended, most of them being
village w o m e n , w h o c a m e from twenty-three different centers.
In the to w n the H i n d u w o m e n , inspired by the Bible W o m e n , have
been m a k i n g garments to be given to the poor children in our Christian
villages at Christmas. Last year w e provided small garments for 500
children. T h e Dorcas Society supplies were augmented by baby clothes
from the precious Sewing Guild boxes and by gifts from friends.
T h e Mothers’ Meetings begun last year for the w o m e n of the M a d a n a
palle congregation, w h o are mostly illiterate day laborers, have been held
weekly w h e n other meetings did not interfere.
Friends at home, again w e ask of you your earnest prayers for this
work, for w e r e m e m b e r always that it is not by money, not by might nor
power, but by the Spirit of the Lord that h u m a n efforts must c o m e to
fruition.

Educational W o r k
Girls' Secondary School— W h e n the A s s e m b l y .decided that the school
be continued without any change, as it filled a vital place in the life of
the Madanapalle church and town, w e were very happy and set to w o r k
with renewed vigor,and enthusiasm to keep up the traditions of the institu
tion.
A s usual the school has s h o w n its readiness to cooperate with the
Church and public in the varied activities of Su n d a y School, Harvest
Festival, Health W e e k , Education W e e k , etc. T h e Rangers, Guides and
Bluebirds meet regularly and have very delightful times. Eleven of the
older girls joined the church.
T h e Hostel has had to bear the loss of a boarding grant this year.
It pains one to keep back from the Hostel so m a n y of the village girls w h o
seek admission but must be refused on account of the extra expense.
W e want to thank the Foreign Board and the Arcot Assembly for
giving this school the chance to carry on its Christian service and influence.
W e all thank the M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital and its staff, past and present,
for their willing help. A b o v e all, our hearts brim with gratitude to the
Great Teacher, without W h o s e manifold blessings w e could not have carried
on and W h o s e guidance w e need for the future.

Medical Work
Mary Lott Lyles Hospital— In the medical w o r k on the Plateau w e
have seen h o w wonderfully G o d carries on His plans and fulfills His
promises. W e closed the year with a larger in-patient n u m b e r than ever
before and without a financial deficit. W e closed with the certain knowledge
that it is His work, that H e has provided for our needs and has helped us
to carry on with less funds and m o r e faith than formerly.
It is true that there have been no replacements in the w a y of worn-out
instruments and other articles. W e purchased no n e w books and have
allowed supplies to run low, but w e have done all w e could for our patients
and they are realizing m o r e a n d m o r e our mutual dependence. T h e y
rely upon us for medical help and w e 'rely upon them for financial aid and
they and we' together must depend upon our Father for everything needed.
O u r medical and maternity w o r k are steadily growing and w e cannot
be thankful enough for the improved building m a d e possible for us four
years ago. It does look so m u c h better than the unfinished original build
ing. A s usual, respiratory diseases double any other diseases coming to
u s ; then stomach, intestinal or eye diseases. A s w e are general prac
titioners w e get a few of almost all other ailments mentioned in statistical
forms. W e have a daily average attendance of 75 at our dispensary and
our in-patients average 37 a day.

1934 has m a r k e d another year of o n w a r d struggle and, w e trust,
advancement along m a n y lines. E a c h day has brought its o w n problems
with its o w n responsibilities. W i t h appropriations cut m o r e than one-third,
w e still began the year courageously, knowing that the responsibility was
not ours but His, resolving that if w e could no longer do w h a t w e would,
w e would do what w e could and trust H i m for the rest. .
O u r staff has been cut three times in salary and our w o r k people
are on a very low wage. W e have explained to them the reason and they
have accepted it. N o t one has left our employ, and the complaints have
been few, and on the whole all have w o r k e d harmoniously. Medicine bills
have been reduced by writing prescriptions an’d having patients get .the
drugs from the local chemists. M a n y very poor patients cannot buy
medicines and these w e help gratuitously.
W e are hoping to retain a few of our o w n graduate nurses this year,
since I a m leaving early in 1935 and Miss Brumler will be m o r e than busy
with hospital patients to look after and with nurses to train as well. All
the nurses in our two senior classes are n o w m e m b e r s of the All-India
Christian Nurses’ Auxiliary. A s they leave us to take up positions in
other places our prayers follow th e m with the hope that wherever they
m a y be they will never forget that they belong to a large body of Christian
nurses in India and that they m a y ever be loyal and true to its standards.

Educational Work
Women’s Industrial School— W h e n appropriations were reduced at the
beginning of the year, pur Village Extension W o r k stopped. Enrollments
again cut d o w n and Miss G e e g h m o v e d to Chittoor, w e felt discouraged
and thought that the doors of real service had closed. But w h e n G o d
closed those doors for us, H e opened others and w e found n e w fields of
service, which w e have been working, right near home. O u r four teachers
have stood by in a noble w a y and never has any one of th e m m u r m u r e d
about the reduced salaries and the increased duties they were asked to take
on. T h e y have s h o w n a wonderful spirit and have been a constant source
of inspiration to us.
.
.
O u r enrollment has been reduced to 62 including the 6 pupil-teachers
in the Training Class. O u r sales and orders of cross-stitch w o r k have
been m u c h reduced again this year. Therefore w e have not been able to
give w o r k to as m a n y of our cottage workers as w e did before. After
finishing u p the orders from the Kodai Sale, w e have been busy sending
out parcels for Exhibits and Sales to various parts of India and to Ceylon
and hope to get s o m e orders. W e are ever trying to keep our w o r k at
the highest standard and recently w e were rewarded for this effort by
receiving the Gold M e d a l for our cross-stitch w o r k at the M y s o r e Dasara
Exhibition. This has been an inspiration to the girls to do their best.
Besides the cross-stitch work, the girls have daily instruction in Bible
study, Tamil, arithmetic, drafting and sewing, child care and h o m e nursing,
gardening, poultry raising and cooking. All their training is definitely
meant to help them to be better home-m a k e r s in their villages.
W e have had t w o bad epidemics of malaria and influenza and w e had
to call for help from the Madanapalle Hospital. W e are thankful that
all the girls recovered and thankful to the W o m a n ’s Board for m a k i n g it
possible for us to have the little Hospital cottage. It is a great blessing
and comfort to us.
T h e older girls and teachers took a very keen interest in the w o r k of
Evangelistic W e e k . T h e y divided into groups and every house— Christian
and H i n d u — in the village w a s visited by t h e m during that week. T h e y
have kept up the visiting and give Christian instruction in these homes.
W e pray that through the efforts of our girls and teachers these families
m a y be brought into the Christian fellowship.
This year twenty-two of our girls have joined the church on confession
of their faith. W e are very grateful for Rev. and,Mrs. H. J. Scudder’s
help and inspiration both in the school and in all church activities. It is
our hope and prayer that they m a y continue with us in Palmaner for
a long time.
E a c h day w e have the motto of our school not only on the school wall
but also in our hearts. W e pray that our girls as they go out from here
m a y continue to live their motto, “Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto
the L o r d ”. G o d has blessed us and guided us through this difficult year
and has m a d e us realize that our p o wer is not in quantity but in quality
of the Spirit. W e ask our friends in India and in America to continue
their prayers for all these girls w h o go back to their villages to m a k e them
better places in which to live.

Evangelistic Work
Because of the cuts in appropriations, our one Bible W o m a n w a s put
on half salary and her w o r k reduced. S h e is still visiting m a n y h omes
where she is regarded as a beloved friend as well as a teacher and she
is called upon to share in the joys and sorrows alike of her pupils. H e r
o w n h o m e is a happy place of Christian fellowship.
Hindu Girls’ School— T h e school is receiving no appropriation from
the Assembly but is on, the “grant basis”. T h e teachers receive what is
left from the G o v ernment grant to the school after all incidental expenses
are deducted. This m e ans a drastic cut in all salaries with consequent
hardships, but the teachers are cheerfully carrying on. T h e y do their best
to keep up the standard of efficiency and to m a k e the school a center of
Christian influence, which it undoubtedly is. Credit must be given to the
headmaster for his untiring efforts and energy expended for the school.
Medical W o r k
It w a s with regret that w e learned before w e left A m e rica last year
that the M a r y Isabel Allen Dispensary had been closed and that there
w a s to be no appropriation from A s sembly funds for medical w o r k in
Punganur, where w e had been stationed. In spite of receipts from patients
it w a s impossible to think of opening the Hospital and maintaining the
necessary staff of nurse, compounder and other helpers without subsidiary
funds. T h e thought c a m e to us to utilize a small side r o o m and adjacent
bathroom in our bungalow. W i t h the equipment w e had bought for the
Hospital six years ago these rooms were furnished as an office and
treatment room, and the venture w a s an immediate success.
. In the eight months w e have been in Pu n g a n u r w e have treated
462 out-patients, with a total of 1,143 treatments. In-patients have n u m
bered ten, confinement cases seven, minor operations eleven and house
visits 49. M a n y patients were treated free or at a fee m u c h less than the
cost of the drugs supplied. One-half cent to t w o cents is the usual rate,
while those w h o can afford to do so are asked to pay more.
T h e M a r y Lott Lyles Hospital in Madanapalle has been a great con
venience in sending certain drugs and m a d e-up solutions and sterile supplies.
Because of this help I can m a n a g e without a compounder and without
a sterilizer. Part of m y routine has been to spend a day or two a w e e k
at the Hospital in Madanapalle to help in the general w o r k there, the
surgery and the examination of school children.
It has been m y privilege to m a k e three or four trips into the District
with Mr. Korteling, sometimes holding clinics, and on occasions working
with a doctor and midwife established in a village by examining patients
and giving health talks to w o m e n . A t our local Child Welfare Centre w e
are holding regular ante-natal clinics and it is gratifying to have a half dozen
w o m e n c o m e out.
'
.
. W e feel that in this time of retrenchment and cut appropriations this
type of w o r k is worth developing. O u r aim is not to m a k e m o n e y but
to have in Pu n g a n u r a self-supporting medical w o r k which can also take
care of a certain n u m b e r of charity patients. W e have an opportunity to
m a k e contacts with all kinds and classes of people, low caste, high caste
and M o h a m m e d a n . O u r great desire is to win friends and to win them
for Christ. W e pray constantly that w e m a y not fail our Master but m a y
be m o r e and m o r e like H i m in our relationships with others and so d r a w
them to Himself.

RANIPETTAI
Afcot and Kaveripak Schools have
been carrying on, though it m eans financial hardship for those w h o have to
support families on the reduced incomes. O n e headmaster, w h e n asked
whether it would not be advisable to turn the school over to Government,
said: “If w e did that w e could no longer teach about Christ. It is in the
planting of the seeds of Christianity in the hearts of the children that w e
do our work.. E v e n the Hindus realize that.” A n d so, regardless of the
sacrifices involved, he is willing to carry on, and the seed is being sown.
O n e little H i n d u girl told her family that she no longer wanted to worship
a stone swami but a Saviour w h o loved her. S o the H i n d u Girls’ Schools
are laying foundation stones for Christian character and life.
N elle S cudder
T h e Central H i n d u Girls’ School has been running on the “grant basis”
since last August, and it is very difficult to m a n a g e on such a small amount.
O u r best teachers have left us, and the children do not c o m e regularly
since w e have no conductress. T h e School has Standards I to V, and our
average attendance ranges from 70 to 80. It is not at all encouraging to
w o r k under this system; still w e try to do our very best.

Christian Social Center— Evangelistic and social service is rendered by
the Christian w o m e n in the town. T h e Bible W o m e n teach the H i n d u
ladies reading, writing and singing. A s soon as the pupils are able to
read and write, they use a book called, “Jesus Christ and His Disciples.”
Christian lyrics also are taught.
Hindu Girls’ Schools— The
O p e n confessions are m a d e n o w and then by individuals, telling h o w
Jesus Christ has helped t h e m w h e n they were in trouble. A y o ung H i n d u
lady c a m e to offer her thank-offering at the town Ingathering Festival and
c a m e to m y house and had a long talk about her troubles. She said with
firm faith; “T h o u g h I a m deserted by m y husband, yet I a m loved by Jesus
Christ. H e is m y comfort.” T h e good seeds s o w n in the hearts are not lost.
During the Evangelistic C a m p a i g n W e e k w e had special meetings for
H i n d u w o m e n in five different centers. Although it rained a great deal at
that time, this did not stop the w o m e n from attending. Special meetings
were held after dark for the M o h a m m e d a n sisters, w h o enjoy very m u c h
the meetings and the fellowship. A gra m a p h o n e and a good light would
help to bring these w o m e n together oftener.
T h e Social Center classes are going on as usual and the y oung w o m e n
w h o attend express their faith in Christ very freely. A special Bible Class
is conducted for the uneducated Christian w o m e n .
Almost every month
Mrs. L. R. Scudder gives us talks on Christian service and the victorious
life a n d these renew our strength.
W h e n e v e r it is possible village camps are held. There w a s a one-day
conference for village w o m e n in a convenient center and all the Christian
w o m e n from the villages around attended. It w a s a happy day for them
and us. W e all miss the help of Mrs. V a n Vranken. W e cannot do as m u c h
as w e cOuld do were she here with us, yet w e try to do our best in her
absence.

Educational W o r k
Higher Elementary Girls’ Boarding School— T h e days of school follow
one another with little variation. There are hours of study and play, house
cleaning, gardening and poultry raising. A t all times there is the striving
to teach the ideals of the noblest living and the worthiest thinking. T h e
children conduct, with help, their o w n Christian Endeavor meetings, and
s o m e of the older girls teach in the Junior Su n d a y School. M a n y children
are enthusiastic Blue Birds and Guides.
W h e n I see the shining happy faces of the children, I praise G o d that
H e has given m e the opportunity to teach His love and salvation to the
little children of India. W h e n I see the Christian service and devotion of
the teachers and matron w h o help to carry His message to the children,
I realize that w e have placed the T o r c h of Christ in worthy hands.
In October w e all joined to m a k e Evangelistic W e e k a success, a few
of the older girls joining with the teachers w h o held meetings in H i n d u
homes, and the younger children giving a Christian D r a m a at the Social
Center. In April all the English Standard girls decided to give their lives
to Christ and became communicant m e m b e r s of the church.

TINDIVANAM
Bible Women — O n e of the t w o Bible W o m e n has done evangelistic
w o r k in the Dispensary every morning and has visited H i n d u h o m e s in
the afternoon. T h e second w o m a n writes with enthusiasm about the eager
ness of the H i n d u w o m e n w h o hear the Gospel message. S h e gives her
Su n d a y evenings to w o r k a m o n g children in villages near Tindivanam.
Both of these w o m e n have had 5 0 % salary cuts.
M o r e caste women, are reached through the Dispensary and H i n d u
Girls’ School than through the direct Zenana visiting, the Bible W o m e n
being received most gladly in the h o m e s of the lowly. This is probably
true in all places where there are Hospitals or Dispensaries or Christian
schools for H i n d u girls.
Hindu Girls’ School— T h e school mo u r n s the loss of its fine head
mistress, Mrs. Annie M a r t y n Ponuraj, w h o has gone to Katpadi because her
husband’s w o r k for the Mission and Assembly Treasurer m a d e it necessary
to transfer them.
T h e school has m a d e progress in every way. All the teachers wo r k e d
with increased enthusiasm, to the satisfaction of all concerned. This
School is especially proud of its group of married girl pupils and of a
widow, 27 years old, w h o is trying to fit herself for teacher’s training. T h e
Inspectress reported, “a well conducted school, doing satisfactory w o r k
and m a k i n g a fair contribution to permanent literacy.”
Medical Work
(Mrs. Walter T.) E llen B. S cudder , M . D .
This year the Dispensary continued work, supported by the fees secured
from out-cases by Mrs. Walter T. Scudder and the nurse. A well has been
d u g during the s u m m e r vacation in the Dispensary c o m p o u n d for the
benefit of the patients with the funds raised from the H i n d u and Christian
friends of Tindivanam. This has been a long felt need and w e are happy
to have a well of our own.
T h e Dispensary has been a great help, not only to the public of
Tindivanam but also to the village Christians of the Southern Circle in
general.
■
This is the only mission medical institution in the Southern Circle and
it is highly desirable that the Arcot Assembly find its w a y to allot funds
towards the upkeep of this valuable piece of w o r k in the n a m e of the
Saviour w h o went about preaching the w o r d and healing the sick.

ARNI
Everywhere the w o m e n are very friendly and sympathetic and so eager
to hear. During our Evangelistic C a m p a i g n in October m a n y of us went
to the near-by villages to hold meetings with the w o m e n and children, and
the m e n listened too. W e pray that the seed s o w n may, in G o d ’s o w n time,
produce fruit, thirty, sixty and a hundred fold.
W h e n it w a s m a d e k n o w n to the teachers id the H i n d u Girls’ Schools
that these schools were to become self supporting, some, of the teachers
availed themselves of the opportunity to secure w o r k elsewhere. Other
teachers to fill the vacancies were, however, readily available. This speaks
well for the interest these teachers have in the work.

MEDICAL-EVANGELISTIC W O R K
IN T H E V I L L A G E S
Medical w o r k in the villages has as usual offered large opportunities
for service in the large, almost unreached southern part of our field. M a n y
n e w villages have been reached and m a n y sick people helped and taught
about the motive that prompted the help they received.
A special feature of the w o r k has been the treatment of lepers, of w h o m
there are thousands in our area. W e have had this year m o r e than 860 on
our register and the highest n u m b e r treated on one day w a s 270. W e have
started another leper center about ten miles from our Central Dispensary.
W e have been given a r o o m where w e can give the treatments, and the people
of the village have themselves become alarmed at the spread of leprosy
a m o n g them and have asked for instructions about preventive measures.
In the afternoons the Bible W o m a n and I have visited different villages,
m a k i n g our point of contact the patients w h o have c o m e from such villages
for treatment at our Central Dispensary in the morning. W e have also
had quite a n u m b e r of patients w e have been called to see in their homes,
and in this w a y the income has been increased by charges for such services.
W e have tried to increase the income from the daily dispensary by asking
for a small contribution for the charity box. T h e result has been a con
siderable increase over previous years. People in general still have the
impression that Mission w o r k is always free, but they are gradually be
ginning to understand that they must share the burden of the expense.
W e were surprised to find in s o m e of these small villages, far a w a y
from the traveled roads, y o ung m e n w h o had heard of Christ through
attendance at Mission schools. In m a n y villages the people, whether caste
or outcaste, listened attentively and respectfully to the Gospel story. In
other villages the message w a s received with sneers and m o c king or with
definite opposition. VVe have sold quite a large n u m b e r of Gospels and
other Bible portions as well as health leaflets and religious tracts and
booklets.

. U N I O N INSTITUTIONS
Missionary Medical College for Women, Vellore
Dr. Ida S. Scudder reports that of the 146 students w h o have graduated
as Licensed Medical Practitioners m a n y are doing praiseworthy w o r k in
Mission and Government institutions as well as in private practice. S o m e
are working in country districts, one has gone to Africa, s o m e are in
Ceylon, B u r m a and Arabia.
There are at present 105 students; m a n y m o r e have been refused for
lack of funds and scholarships. T h e w o r k is in English, since the girls
represent seven different languages. There are 48 Indian nurses under
training. These y oung w o m e n are largely from Christian missions of all
denominations, but include also Syrian Christians and even a B r a h m i n and
a Mohammedan.
T h e medical w o r k carried on in Vellore in hospital and dispensaries
and on the wayside all aids in the training of our students. It has increased
along every line. T h e villages near Vellore are reached through our
traveling dispensaries— five roads covered each week, w h e n a doctor, nurse,
senior medical student, compounder and Bible W o m a n g o in the ambulance,
treating all w h o come. A s m a n y as one thousand lepers have been treated
in one week. These simple village people are most appreciative and look
forward to our coming with joy.
W o m e n ’s Christian College, Madras
H e r e w e have an example of international friendship in the faculty and
students. A n English w o m a n , Miss Eleanor McDougall, is principal, and
the vice-principal is an A merican w o m a n , Miss Edith Coon, of Mt. Holyoke
College. They, with a fine staff of British, A merican and Indian w o m e n ,
are building the future for India through a distinctly Christian education,
which they exemplify.
This college, with its fine science laboratory, is fitting y oung w o m e n
for medical and research work, for Christian leadership, for teaching,
for welfare work, and for the reforms which India must have. A s mis
sionary w o r k decreases In so m e fields our only hope of Christian lead
ership is in the graduates of such schools, which are proving that w o m e n
are not the inferiors of m e n as they are taught in their H i n d u religion but
are carrying off the honors in examinations.
St. Christopher’s Training College, Madras
.
This Training College for W o m e n Teachers has m a d e for itself a most
important place in Christian education in South India. It is the only Training
College for graduates that the Missions in South India possess, and it has for
the last five years carried on also the training of teachers of the secondary
grade. It is obvious that the determining element in education is the character
of the teacher and that the possession of good buildings, well planned cur
ricula, suitable text books and mo d e r n equipment counts for nothing in c o m
parison with the provision of Christian teachers of ability and devotion. T h e
students carry on Social Service W o r k in the spirit of Christ. T h e K i n g ’s
Daughters as a group engage in prison visiting, hospital visiting, Girl
Guiding and village work. There is m u c h ignorance in the villages, and the
K i n g ’s Daughters open Night Schools for the poor children w h o would
never have a chance to go to school by day.

Report for 1934
Y O K O H A M A — FERRIS S E M I N A R Y
Faculty— Miss Hayashi w a s again called upon to become acting-Prin
cipal for a few months while M r . Shafer, o wing to the illness of his son,
m a d e a trip to the United States. O n June '10th she received recognition and
a generous gift from the Joshi Ky o i k u Y o g o Kai for having completed
almost forty years of honorable service in education for w o m e n .
O u r staff w a s strengthened in April w h e n Mr. Jiro Takenaka, a
graduate and former teacher of T o z a n Gakuin, began his w o r k here. H e
w a s just back from t w o years’ study in America, where he received the
degrees of B.S. and M . A . from Teachers’ College, Columbia University.
Miss Mabuchi, our y oung athletic instructor, w a s given a leave of
absence in the a u t u m n to carry out a good-will solo flight to the n e w capital
of Manchuria. O n her return to T o k y o after successfully completing the
flight, she spoke of her trip from J O A K , the T o k y o Broadcasting Station.
She feels that she w a s sustained in her difficult and dangerous venture by her
Christian faith and she m a d e this clear even in her radio talk. T h e pub
licity given her has not turned her head and, as a school, w e are proud of
her achievement.
.
Students— In M a r c h 81 students were graduated: 60 fr o m the H i g h
School, 11 from the H o m e Economics Course and 10 fr o m the English
Literary Course.
There were three hundred and twenty-nine applicants for the entering
class of the H i g h School Department, which is limited to ninety. Twentynine out of thirty-four applicants were entered in the various courses of the
Junior College Department. Fifteen of these were from our o w n H i g h
School. T h e registration at the end of April w a s 444 in the H i g h School
Department and 44 in the Junior College, mak i n g a total enrolment of 488.
This w a s little changed at the end of December, w h e n the enrolment was
440 in the H i g h School and 43 in the Junior College.
W h e n entering class girls were investigated with regard to the extent
of their contact with Christianity it w a s found that 28 had never attended
Sun d a y School at any time and that 69 were from h o m e s in which there
w a s not a single Christian.
It is a source of real gratification to us that without a special c a m
paign 24 girls were baptized in seven different churches the Su n d a y before
Christmas. Altogether during the year there were 36 baptisms and there
are n o w 83 baptized Christians in the school. W e have been definitely
working for this sort of; natural decision for Christ growing out of the
regular school life and w e are very thankful that progress has been m a d e
in that direction. W e also feel that this result is very wholesome in that, in
each case, the student has been linked up with her o w n local church.
Parents— T h e Parent-Teachers Association continues its activities for
the school. M o r e than 800 yen w a s contributed during the year. In addition
to the usual activities, which includes the employment of a school dentist,
a school infirmary w a s fully equipped for the use of the school health
department at a cost of about 550 yen. T h e special meetings of parents
for the discussion of school problems were attended by m o r e than 200
parents.
.
Alumnae— A t the annual meeting of the A l u m n a e Association final plans
for an e n d o w m e n t fund campaign were perfected, and already m o r e than
10,000 yen has been promised. T h e B oard of Directors of the School has
decided to share in this campaign. A regular part of the fee which the
students pay for the school society is also being set aside for this fund.
Financial— T h e Mission appropriation has been cut to 4,000 yen out of a
total expenditure amounting] to a little m o r e than 40,000. In other words,
Mission support of the regular budget is almost exactly 1 0 % . It w a s feared
that it w o uld be impossible to avoid a large deficit at the end of the year,
but by careful economies the deficit w a s kept d o w n to 117.62 and this
w a s m a d e up by transferring from interest accumulations in the Special
Accounts. It will be still m o r e difficult to carry on without a deficit in 1935,
since certain heavy charges during 1934 that were for nine months only
will be for twelve months during 1935. For the past few years there has
been a slight increase each year in fees on account of increased registration.
T h e H i g h School has n o w reached full capacity, however, and substantial
increase in the Junior College Department is hardly to be looked for in the
immediate future. Consequently it will be necessary to exercise every care
in order to avoid a deficit this year.
Incidents— A n u m b e r of things have happened during the year to s h o w
that the leaven of the Gospel is at work. A t the beginning of the n e w
term one of the third year girls w a s taken ill and after an illness of t w o
months she passed away. O n her sick bed she asked to be baptized, but her
parents, hoping that she might get well, asked her to wait, saying that they
would then be baptized with her. A t the funeral, which w a s conducted by fhe
Pastor of the Methodist Church near where she lived, the father in a sad
but impressive speech said that he and his wife had decided to walk the path
of faith that had m a d e the last m o m e n t s of their daughter’s life so peaceful
and beautiful. O n the Sunday before Christmas the whole family received
baptism, father and mother; two daughters and a niece.
Another third year girl w a s baptized this spring. Just a few months
before her father had deserted his family. T h e y were left penniless a n d were
forced to open a boarding -house. T h e mother at first w a s very m u c h dis
couraged, but the beautiful, Christian spirit of the little daughter is proving
to be a great blessing to the mother. She n o w joins her daughter in going
to church as often as she is able.
A fourth year girl, a Christian, has had to leave school for the present
because of illness. She w a s at the head of her class and hence found it
exceedingly difficult to give up. But her faith has helped her to c o m e out
victorious. H e r classmates are continually touched by the expressions of
hope and joy that characterize her letters and unconsciously she is exercising
an influence a m o n g them.
W e are grateful for these evidences of G o d ’s leading.

Christian Activities— One. of the busiest organizations is that of the
Y . W . C . A . This year w e have had s o m e interesting speakers at our as
sembly meetings. W e enjoyed the visit of the General Secretary for the
International Y.W.C.A., Miss Charlotte Mills. There w a s an address fol
lowed by a discussion meeting of the cabinet m e m b e r s and group leaders.
Miss Mills w a s able to give us some helpful suggestions. It w a s an inspira
tion to our group to realize that it is a part of the large group of “Y ” girls
in all parts of the world. Another interesting speaker w a s Miss J. C. Gilles
py, a m e m b e r of a sister Mission, w h o is a fine evangelistic speaker. She
devoted a day to our school, giving a series of group talks and also private
interviews. W e are sure that her fine Christian personality left a deep i m
pression and are confident that she w a s able to help the students in some
of their real problems. T o our Mothers’ D a y p r o gram the mothers were
invited, and although few were there, still the girls had the opportunity
of joining in this service with them. It w a s the first time, I a m sure, that
these w o m e n had attended such a meeting.
A n unusually large n u m b e r attended the student conferences this s u m
mer. There were sixty-eight at one or another of the s u m m e r c amps and
conferences under Christian auspices. Three of our teachers helped in
conducting Bible classes at these gatherings.
O u r “Y ” continues to support the Neighborhood Sunday School and
to send a monthly contribution to a local social settlement. In D e c e m b e r
gifts of w a r m clothes a n d other such useful articles were sent to a n u m b e r
of charity organizations. M o n e y gifts were sent both to the famine sufferers
in North Japan and to those families in the K w a n s a i District w h o lost
everything in the disastrous storm of last September. In these wa y s w e
try to keep in sympathetic touch with those w h o are not as fortunate as we.
In N o v e m b e r the International W e e k of Prayer w a s observed with early
morning services.
T h e Ferris Su n d a y School has four teachers and an average attendance
of forty-five, mostly a m o n g the lower class pupils. W e are greatly en
couraged w h e n w e think of the influence of these y o ung girls upon their
families, for they are sometimes the means of bringing th e m to Christ.

White Christmas— “What are you bringing for the W h i t e Christmas
bazaar, M a r i k o S a n ? ” “Oh, nothing much. I have a small celluloid doll
for which I have knit a dress and cap. It will sell for only about 40 sen,
but every bit helps, you know. W h a t are you doing?” “Oh, in our class,
w e are m a k i n g flannel underclothes for children.
I don’t suppose the
students will be interested in buying practical things like that, but if they
don’t sell, w e ’ll give them to the poor shivering children in T h e Friends’
H o m e Settlement.”
- T h e bazaar referred to in the above dialogue w a s the grand finale of the
W h i t e Christmas p r o gram at Ferris. For a week, white boxes had been
standing in the different class-rooms, and m o n e y and w a r m clothing had
been brought. E v ery morning for a w e e k one could see from a chart in the
hall the a m o u n t contributed day by day. U p and up went the red line until
it had almost reached the 300 Y e n mark. Every morning, in chapel, some
girl had told the story of a worthy case to which one might contribute.
There w a s the story of a Ferris graduate w h o had started w o r k a m o n g
destitute w o m e n and children in Osaka, and there were the stories of leper
homes, of orphanages and of the famine sufferers in the north of Japan.
W i t h concrete cases before them, the girls rallied nobly around their school
motto, “F o r Others.” N o t only were w a r m clothes and m o n e y contributed,
but several needy families in the city were visited by a representative group
fr o m the school. T h u s w a s the practical side of Christmas observed.
T h e aesthetic and spiritual side w a s expressed in pageantry and song.
T h e Cantata sung by s o m e four hundred girls created a perfect Christmas
atmosphere, and Dickens’ “Christmas Carol”, acted out by a group of college
girls, taught us a n e w h o w m u c h m o r e blessed it is to give than to receive.
T h e pageant with the bringing of white gifts to the K i n g by girls dressed
in the costumes of different countries was indeed impressive, but the thought
that twenty-four of these girls were giving their hearts as well w a s a w e
inspiring and cause for great rejoicing.
These girls were baptized Christmas Sunday. T h e m e ans by which
they had c o m e to their decisions were varied. O n e girl through the tragic
death of her mother had1 found Christ to be her all in all. Another had
found G o d at a Y . W . C . A . c a m p during the summer, and still another had
merely acted upon a w o r d spoken to her at an opportune time by her Bible
teacher. There were also those w h o had c o m e to k n o w the truth through
the beautiful life a n d death of one of their class-mates.
W e praise G o d for the past year and for these lives that have been
dedicated to H i m , but would ask your prayers for even greater blessings
during the year 1935!

The Department of Music— M o s t of the music instruction has been in
singing and piano. T h e last organ pupil w a s graduated and played at her
c o m m e n c e m e n t in March.
E a c h of the eleven classes meets for singing class— the first and secondyear groups twice a week. T w o groups of selected voices fo r m choruses,
which practise outside of regular school hours. T h e Senior Choir sang at
the Y.M.C.A. Fiftieth Anniversary and Christmas Praise Services. A few
of t h e m took part in a special p r o gram at the U n i o n Church. T h e Junior
Choir sang at the W o r l d ’s Sunday School anniversary program in the city
park. T h e Cantata, “T h e Chimes of the H o l y Night at Christmas’’, w a s
done by the Higher Department with the aid of the Fifth Year. T h e whole
school sang the final chorus.
There have been over fifty piano pupils, including nine in the beginners’
class and several other n e w ones w h o had taken lessons before entering Fer
ris. Regularity in attendance at private lessons has' been a great boon for
steady improvement in technique, expression and m e m o r y . All have been re
quired to memorize pieces for occasional recitals attended by only the piano
pupils. T e r m - e n d recitals for the whole student body have been m a d e up of
selections from the preliminary programs. T h e y have included B a c h Inven
tions, Sonatas by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, s o m e of the
easier works fr o m Schumann, Mendelssohn and Chopin, and from Grieg,
MacDowell, Delibes, C a d m a n and a few m o d e r n composers. Ea c h term two
of the best pupils have played for the school Literary Meeting. Piano and
organ- numbers were given1at C o m m e n c e m e n t by m e m b e r s of the graduating
class. M a n y have willingly played for morning devotions, Y . W . C . A . and
Su n d a y School.
T h e Music Club is still in its infancy. A t present, all it does is to
meet once.a m o n t h for Appreciation. T h e supply of records has increased.
T h e y m a y be used by teachers and students in classes or during any
leisure time.
'
T h e music hour m a kes a break in the cares pf the day and may, I trust,
enrich each girl’s life by added enjoyment, expression and service to others.

Relations with Pupils and Alumnae— Since I began special evangelistic
w o r k a m o n g our students at school and a m o n g the graduates the L o r d has
helped m e wonderfully. H e has captivated m y mi n d so that the w o r k has
become so fascinating that I sometimes have felt that I want to be at it
all the time.
U p to M a r c h last year I had six inquirers’ classes. Since April I have
h a d only four, because I took the regular curriculum Bible class for the
Junior College girls from, non-Christian schools w h o entered the English
Literary and H o m e Economics Courses in April. Talking with these girls
the other day, I found that they are gradually finding out the worth of
spiritual things and w a n t to k n o w m o r e about Christianity; so I have just
promised to meet th e m once a w e e k outside of school hours, taking the
H o m e Economics G r o u p and the English Literary G r o u p separately. S o
from n o w on I shall have six groups as before.
M o s t of the girls in these groups have been coming to m e regularly
and I w a s quite surprised w h e n I heard that about seventy girls wanted to
g o either to Y . W . C . A . c a mps or s u m m e r conferences last summer. Several
of these girls received baptism.
During last year I m a d e five trips to visit graduates. I went to Zushi,
Yokosuka, and Chigasaki, all one-day affairs, the last place chiefly to visit
sick people. These visits, especially with the sick, s h o w that our graduates
are seeking comfort in things beyond materialism. These little spiritual
talks and friendly visits seem to reach deep into their hearts.
During the Easter holidays I went to N a g o y a where there are several
graduates. But m y best effort w a s m a d e in the summer, which I spent in
visiting about seventy graduates in Kobe, O s a k a and vicinity and places
on the w a y there, devoting the whole m o n t h of August to this work.
' The-first place I visited w a s Mishima, where m y brother and nephew
were pastors successively for so m e years. T h e place gave m e a homelike
feeling as I used to go to see m y relatives w h e n they resided there. F r o m
there I went to Omiya. A s usual, w h e n I called at one of the h o m e s there,
I began talking about the school, of which graduates are always anxious to
hear. T h e n gradually I led the subject to religious matters. T o m y sur- '
prise, m y hostess told m e that her husband w a s interested in Christianity
and that they were both studying it. I w a s very m u c h pleased to hear that
and encouraged her to keep on studying and to go to Christian meetings
whenever they could. T h e visit ended and I went to the Station to go on
to the next place. H e r husband is a doctor and it happened that their
daughter w a s sick in his hospital at the time. M y hostess went to the
station with m e but I asked her not to wait till the train came, thinking that
her little girl must be looking forward to her return home. S o she left,
but in about ten minutes she c a m e back to the station all out of breath.
U p o n inquiry I found that her husband w a s waiting for her w h e n she got
back h o m e and h a d told her to g o back to the station and ask m e to c o m e
back to the house and wait till he c a m e back f r o m his calls. H e wanted to
ask m e so m e questions about Christianity. This w a s m o r e than I expected,
but I thought it might be that the L o r d had sent m e there for this purpose;
so without m u c h protest I went back and waited. Pretty soon the doctor
c a m e h o m e and I talked with h i m for a couple of hours and explained
Christianity as well as I could. A t eight o’clock that evening the evangelist
c a m e and w e talked s o m e m o r e and sang s o m e hymns. It w a s after eleven
before the evangelist left the house. Since it w a s too late for m e to go
anywhere else that night I stayed over night. This w a s the last day of
July and wh a t do you think that I heard in October? A message w a s
delivered to m e that w h e n M r . T o n o m u r a , a famous evangelist, c a m e to
that town, that m a n and his wife were baptized.
T h e n I went to O s a k a and stayed with Miss S o d e y a m a for a f e w days.
She teaches in a school for poor children. She soon learned about the family
conditions of these children. W i t h no fathers to support t h e m the mothers
had to w o r k but their smaller children w ere in the way. S o Miss S o d e y a m a
took their babies in charge while they worked. T o take care of them, h o w
ever, meant that she had to give th e m lunch too, for so m e of them c a m e with
out any. She also arranged to give their mothers work. O n e evening a w e e k
she goes to a boarding house of rough working m e n and sings and preaches to
them. These m e n m a d e fun of her at first but she paid no attention to them
and went on with her preaching and singing. Pretty soon they began to
behave better and listened m o r e attentively. O n e of these m e n w a s very
fond of drink and he could not pass a wineshop without stopping. T h u s
he used to spend all his earnings there. O n e day, however, he found that he
passed the store without noticing it. H e had no desire to go back, either,
so he returned to his lodging without drinking. H e w a s sober and his m o n e y
w a s tingling in his pocket. This w a s something n e w to him. There he w a s
sitting in his right mind with m o n e y in his pocket. H e c a m e to Miss Sode
y a m a and told her all about it and handed her the m o n e y to be used for her
work. Since then he has never been drunk. Miss S o d e y a m a has a Sunday
School for her children and a Bible class for mothers. She herself lives
in a tiny r o o m which is her study, sitting-room and bed-room all in one.
She is very consecrated. She writes that she had a Christmas entertainment
for the w o m e n and children and that about 500 were there to enjoy it.
A m o n g those w h o m I visited were s o m e w h o m I taught the first year
after I graduated. S o m e of them had grandchildren. In one place I met one
w h o m I had not seen for thirty-seven years. She w a s at Ferris w h e n w e
had the Primary Department. She w a s only twelve w h e n she left school.
’ W e talked and talked for hours for she would not let m e leave her. She
said that the Christian education she received at that early age so influenced
her that w h e n her o w n girls reached high school age she naturally desired
to send th e m to a Christian school.
I went out in the heat day after day. S o m e days I could m a k e only
one or t w o calls. In almost all cases I w a s cordially received and they
seemed pleased to get a little spiritual message. T h e field is ripe and waiting
for the sickle. I took so m e books with m e but as I could not spare one for
everybody I had to use them very carefully, using m y judgment as to w h o
needed them most. H o w fine it would be if I could give one to everybody
w h o m I visit 1
Several of the girls w h o could spare the time acted as guides and went
with me. I w a s grateful to them. A t the s a m e time it w a s a good occasion
to introduce- them to their sister graduates and have them become acquainted
with each other.
In addition to these special trips I tried to call on so m e graduates in
Y o k o h a m a and T o k y o whenever I could. I think I m a d e a hundred and ten
or fifteen calls altogether during the year.
I feel grateful to the Lord for the honor H e has bestowed upon m e to
help in His great cause. M a y H e purify, strengthen and instruct m e in
His w a y that I m a y become a fit vessel ready to serve in humility and
consecration.

SHIMONOSEKI— STURGES SEMINARY
T h e year '1934 m a r k s the 20th anniversary of the coming of Sturges
Seminary to Shimonoseki. T h e celebration, lasting three days, occurred in
M a y . O n the first day, besides the formal exercises, there w a s a concert
given by s o m e of the alumnae of the school, of w h o m one w a s a graduate
of the Kunitachi Conservatory of Music in T o k y o and another had studied
in America. O n the second and third days there were exhibits of art by
former pupils and teachers and by primary school children of the city, an
exhibit of flower arrangements done by the girls in the Special Household
Arts Course, exhibits of drills and g a m e s under the direction of the teacher
of gymnastics, a bazaar under the auspices of the alumnae and a literary
and musical program.
T o c o m m e m o r a t e the occasion, a history of the
school w a s written by Mr. Kuroki, one of the oldest of our teachers, and the
Patrons’ Association m a d e plans for the giving of an extra school building.*
W i t h the beginning of the n e w school year in April a Special H o u s e
hold Arts Course w a s offered to graduates of the school, for which about
. fifteen enrolled. In the regular high school department an experiment w a s
m a d e with dividing the 4th and 5th year girls into t w o divisions, one part
specializing in English and the other in Domestic Science. This will prob
ably be a permanent arrangement. Beginning with the n e w school year a

school nurse w a s also employed by the Patrons’ Association to look after
the health of the girls. T h e Fifth Year girls m a d e a ten days’ educational
excursion to K o r e a and Manchuria in the spring and also visited such local
places as the Mitsubishi D o c k Yards, a fish refrigeration plant, a telephone
c o m p a n y and the flour mills.
This year the school failed to take part'in the prefectural sports because
the meet w a s held on Sunday, but in one of the local contests Sturges w o n
first place in basket-ball and volley-ball and second in tennis. In another
she w o n most of the points and thus kept the banner for the second suc
cessive year. In the tri-mission school meet held in Fukuoka, she w o n first
place in volley-ball. T h e usual instruction in s w i m m i n g w a s given after
the close of school in July. O n e of the most interesting of athletic events
w a s an exhibition of concert gymnastics and drills by 5000 high school boys
and girls of the vicinity, in which our girls also took part. W h a t if w e
were able to get all y o ung people working together for the cause of the
K i n g d o m like that!
O u r Music Department w a s asked to give a concert at the 15th anni
versary of a G o v ernment school about an hour and a half a w a y by train,
where they had audiences totaling 2000. T h e Kunitachi Conservatory of
Music gave a concert for the girls and general public in our chapel. Fiftyfive of their students and teachers took part. During the s u m m e r the M a n
dolin Club of the Doshisha University also gave a concert here.
O n e of the high spots for the Y . W . C . A . w a s the coming of Miss Mills,
the Religious Education Secretary of the International Office in Geneva.
W h i l e she w a s here, a conference for Y . W . C . A . advisors in K y u s h u and
southern H o n s h u w a s held to the great profit of all. O n the E m p r e s s ’
birthday, Mothers’ D a y in Japan, the younger Y . W . girls invited their
mothers to a program and a simple lunch of macaroni, such as the school
serves for the girls w h o desire hot lunches. W e hope w e m a y do this every
year and thus m a k e another link between the h o m e and the school. A t
Thanksgiving time (although Thanksgiving is not a Japanese holiday) the
Y . W . girls brought fruit and vegetables to the school and after their service
in the afternoon took them to the poor and unfortunate. A t Christmas they
went to sing carols at one of the city hospitals for the destitute and take
pictures to add cheer to their dreary rooms. There they found a former
student of Steele A c a d e m y w h o w a s especially happy to see them. During
the year the girls also took flowers to the hospitals and continued their
interest in the untainted children of lepers on the island of O s h i m a in the
Inland Sea.
After t w o of the major disasters that Japan suffered this year, the
Hakodate fire and the O s a k a typhoon, the girls went f r o m house to house
in the city collecting m o n e y for the sufferers. F o r the first, 500 yen w a s
collected; for the second, 1226 yen. T h u s the needs of others were brought
to the attention not only of the girls themselves but also of the people of
the city. A t the time of a fire not far from the school, w h e n forty-six
families lost their h o m e s and practically all they possessed, the girls
through the Y . W . C . A . Social Service division collected clothing. T h e usual
B a b y Clinic w a s held, in' which 130 babies were examined by physicians
assisted by nurses and the girls in the Household Arts Course.
Besides the usual Bible classes, chapel services and prayer meetings the
girls had the privilege of hearing such special speakers as Mrs. Kida of
L a m b e t h Jo Gakuin in Osaka, the Rev. Mr. Ono, especially interested in
the Oxford G r o u p Movement, the Rev. Mr. Aoki w h o spoke on his o w n
experience of hearing G o d ’s voice, Mr. Hayashi, an earnest temperance
worker, Commissioner M a p p of the Salvation A r m y , and Dr. K a g a w a
cn route to the Philippines, whose addresses never fail to arouse interest.
Following the usual custom, special early morning prayer meetings were
held for a w e e k after school closed in July.
M a y the seed that has been s o w n these twenty years and in the years
previous continue to bear fruit.

NAGASAKI
Evangelistic Work
This year the total enrolment in our four Children’s Meetings w a s one
fifth less than last year. T h e w a v e of nationalism and the activity of the
Buddhists are doubtless a m o n g the causes. H o w e v e r the attendance at the
four Christmas celebrations totaled larger than the previous year.
O u r o w n h o m e S u n d a y School is an increasing joy, and w e feel that
through it w e are touching those nearest us. T h e great Lover of children
recently took to Himself one dear little pupil of this school, and as I went
to sympathize with the mother I found h o w gladly she had been reading
our “Ochibo” which K i m i ko San carried h o m e fr o m S u n d a y School and
h o w thankful she seemed to have the children attend.
During the year the receipts from readers of our monthly paper, the
“Ochibo”, were m o r e than double those of 1933 and within a few sen of half
the entire expense. A gift of over twenty yen c a m e from a little group
of Japanese Christians in British Columbia, to w h o m the paper regularly
goes. T h e other half of the expenses c a m e from unsolicited special gifts,
so no regular funds were needed. But grateful as w e were for the increased
gifts, w e were still m o r e grateful for the letters which c a m e from different
ones telling of their interest in the paper and of its helpfulness. Last
October this little paper reached its twentieth birthday. In those years w e
believe that the Lo r d has used it to carry His message to m a n y hearts.
O u r h o m e Tuesday afternoon bi-weekly Bible Class and the weekly
Friday evening class have been kept up as usual. T h e latter is especially
well attended; though so m e have m o v e d a w a y or dropped out, several have
remained faithful, a n d n e w ones have come. Besides these, Miss T o m e g a w a
has five Bible Classes for w o m e n or girls in as m a n y different homes. She
also teaches a class in the church Su n d a y School and has charge of the
church Y . W . C . A . which meets monthly. She is still an elder in the church,
and president of the W o m a n ’s Society.
In September, in response to
requests from one church in Shikoku and another in Fukuoka, she spent
two weeks holding special meetings, speaking altogether sixteen times.
I have a small weekly English Bible Class of Higher Commercial
School students.
M y y o ung Su n d a y School helper is a comfort, and it is a joy to see
her growth in grace.

Calling on the w o m e n in their h o m e s is one important part of our work,
and one for which w e never seem to have enough time.
T h e Su n d a y before Christmas four adults and one child were baptized
in the church which w e attend. O n e w a s a w o m a n w h o has for a long time
been attending one of Miss T o m e g a w a ’s Bible Classes and of late coming
to church. H e r sister-in-law is one of our finest Christians, and n o w these
two can unite their hearts to pray for their husbands, neither of w h o m is
yet Christian. T h e other w o m a n , w h o with her husband and little girl re
ceived baptism, is one in w h o m I have been particularly interested for some
time. There have been m a n y difficulties in their way, but their joy is
n o w great. There were two others w h o desired to confess their faith at
the sa m e time. O n e could not get her husband’s permission; the other, an
unmarried y o ung w o m a n , w a s held back by her mother, w h o is, however,
m o r e than willing that her daughter attend church and Bible Class. D o u b t
less here, as in m a n y cases, there is the fear that receiving baptism might
stand in the w a y of a desirable marriage.
T h e present seems a very important time in this land. O n the part
of m a n y there is a feeling of spiritual need, a seeking for something which
they have not. A n d the arch-Deceiver is ready with his enticing offers
to lead them the w r o n g way. There are cults many, which promise well
but profit nothing. Just n o w in Nagasaki a religion called “T h e W a y of
M a n ”, which holds out hope of healing, is attracting thousands. In s o m e
cities it has already w o r n itself out and probably will here also in time. W e
are not to sit still and allow the evil one to reap the whitened harvest. T h e
“W a y of G o d ” must be presented as widely and as attractively as possible.
A n d for that the w o r k and workers need your earnest and continued
prayers.
T h e churches of Japan c a m e into existence through the efiforts of the
h o m e churches; they are still weak, m a n y are doing little m o r e than
struggling for their o w n existence and have little strength left to reach
out after the untouched multitudes, w h ose presence is a loud call to us still.
A s w e face a n e w year let us resolve neither to retreat nor to stand still,
but to advance in the N a m e of H i m to w h o m “all things are possible”.

T h e various kinds of w o r k begun a year ago have been continued all
this year with very little change in the n u m b e r attending or in the nature
of the work. W e have been glad to have from 50 to 70 children attending
the meeting once a w e e k in the h o m e and to offer library privileges once
a week. A n average of 20 have c o m e in to read worthwhile children’s
books. Across the bay an average of 35 children have continued to c o m e
to the Friday meeting.
During the s u m m e r a Daily Vacation Bible School w a s held at the
h o m e with an average of 35 attending for about seven weeks. T h e program
consisted of Bible stories, songs, h a n d w o r k and review of school w o r k
supervised by the helper and Y f W . C . A . girls from the church. This w o r k
w a s greatly appreciated by the parents, and mothers still ask us to continue
it. A small leaflet emphasizing the lessons of the w e e k w a s prepared and
distributed to all.
M y illness in the fall m a d e it necessary to postpone the organization
of the B o y s ’ .club but w e are happy to report that the boys of 6th to 8th
grades attending our neighborhood meeting are n o w by their o w n choice
organized into a Lion B o y s ’ C l u b ! T h e p r o g r a m as planned offers'games,
music, English, Bible and preparation for school work, and w e hope later
to introduce handwork. In spite of opposition on the part of so m e teachers,
w h o are telling the children to beware of ‘Christian teaching lest they become
involved in the “dangerous thoughts”, the enthusiasm does not seem to
lessen. There are still things w e would like to have improved— our trees
and shrubs, our gate and fence still suffer from the destructive instincts
of these children w h o have never had the privileges of a playground but
w e hope little by little they m a y become worthwhile boys and girls, de
pendable and honest m e n and w o m e n . In January w e hope to form a similar
club for the girls. Both of these groups have been introduced to stamp
collecting.
T h e Girls’ Club of H i g h School girls held their meetings till the end
of the school term, ending up with a hilarious party at m y home. Games,
music, Bible lesson and tea and cakes were enjoyed by 35 girls. T h e school
w o r k is so heavy one almost hesitates to ask t h e m to c o m e lest it be an
added burden, but in spite of the full p r o g r a m at the school they co m e
as often as they can. A group of five graduates have become so interested
in the Bible that they ask for it to be given first if there is not time for
everything.
T h e h o m e has been used by English and Bible classes and by th
various organizations of the church, and callers have been welcomed and
given the message either orally or in written form. W e pray that the
efforts m a y be blessed and the seed s o w n m a y bear good fruit.

OITA
In Oita, as throughout all Japan, Christian w o r k has been hampered by
the ultra-nationalistic spirit fostered in every possible w a y and finding its
most ardent advocates in the primary school teachers.
Loyalty to the
Emperor, \yho loves them like a father, love of country which spells opposi
tion to the foreigner and things foreign, revival of national religions and
anti-Christian propaganda, all m a k e it hard to get the little folks to c o m e
to our house for Su n d a y School. A s our h o m e is directly opposite one of
Oita’s largest primary schools, w e have increasingly felt this opposition
during the past two years, since the children are forbidden to c o m e
here by their teachers and the teacher’s w o r d is law to them. T h e y c o m e
before “Sunday school” and play in our garden, which is directly under
the eyes of the teachers, and each one coming, even with the full consent
of his parents, is spotted and m a d e to suffer for it. A s a result our
Friday school w a s finally reduced to five little girls w h o attend the
distant N o r m a l practice school, so w e closed it in June and passed around
w o r d that all were to c o m e on Sunday. Since Sunday is a school holiday
the children have continued to c o m e with comparative regularity though in
small numbers, and what w a s started as a school for older girls is n o w
attended by tiny tots of all grades, both boys and girls, as well as the older
ones. T o these children w e have been teaching the life of Christ.’
B y having the Christmas prog r a m on Dec. 26th, the day after school
closed, all the children of all grades could c o m e early in the afternoon and
the school authorities could say nothing against it. W e had a poor program,
for all the performers had ceased to come, but the children seemed to
enjoy it just the same and w e had quite an audience of older girls w h o used
to c o m e some years ago; also a lot of tough boys, w h o employed themselves
spinning tops on our best rug. There were about 100 present.
O u r W e d n e s d a y school at the cotton mill has continued with increasing
attendance, mainly of little girls. Quite the opposite spirit prevails u p there.
W e go in at one end of the c o m p a n y c o m p o u n d and collect the children,
w h o c o m e from every direction w h e n they hear our voices. This w e do
for two reasons. T h e little ones w h o do not go to school are apt to forget
what day it is, and then, by going through, w e can greet the mothers at
each little home. T h e y are all smiles as they c o m e out to speak to us and
tell us it is a w a r m or a cold day as the case m a y be and give us little
items of n e w s about their o w n or their neighbors’ families. W h e n w e
finally go through the middle gate, carrying the two little babies w h o cry
if left behind and having the' older ones all trailing along behind, us, w e
feel m u c h as the Pied Piper must have done, and all w h o m w e meet on the
street smile cheerfully as they see the procession. O u r meeting place is in
one of the h o m e s but at the other end of the c o m p o u n d and reached by the
street. There is a real Family spirit a m o n g the children, and the tiny ones
are as m u c h at h o m e with one older child as with another. Y o u are never
sure just w h o will rise to the occasion and carry the babies h o m e on their
backs. O n e little tot has g r o w n up since s u m m e r and, whereas she regularly
had a nap in m y lap each week, she is n o w able to keep a w a k e and sit up on
her little feet through it all. This year’s lessons have been the O ld Testament
stories.
O u r Christmas exercises at the mill were the best w e have ever held,
with m o r e mothers out to hear the p r o gram and with all the parts well
learned. Hitherto, the boys have failed to realize that parts were to be
memorized and have spent a part of their time giggling, but this year all
parts were well learned in a w e e k and requests were m a d e for seconds.
That is an easy school to teach as the attendance of practically every child
is constant. T w o from that W e d n e s d a y school did not miss one meeting
of the 41 held during the year, and in the Su n d a y School three little girls
had a perfect attendance for the 37 meetings; so I gave th e m each a
Japanese translation of Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible, N e w Testament,
hoping that through these simply told stories others in the h o m e s might
c o m e to a little understanding of our Christ.
'
T h e cooking class with its little devotional service has continued through
the year with good attendance, as has the class in handwork. T h e latter
has been as interesting to the teacher as it has apparently been to the taught.
O n e day they asked what “quilting” is and h o w done, and as it w a s difficult
to explain, I showed th e m a quilt I had received last year. T h e y were
crazy about it and must all do it; so each spent the next m o n t h ’s meeting
m a k i n g a block as a pattern. Later one of them brought her finished quilt
to s h o w m e — a perfect piece of w o r k and done in about t w o weeks. That
same girl wants to m a k e a different one now. W e have also learned to m a k e
afghans of bright colored wools, such as m y grandmother h a d w h e n I was
twelve years old! Cross stitch has c o m e into its o w n and bags and pin
cushions— in fact, everything that has recently c o m e m y w a y — have been
copied with avidity. T h e trouble is to get n e w ideas which they can really
use, as so m u c h of our h a n d w o r k would be useless in their homes.
During the year w e have had neighborhood meetings m a n y times,
though without such outside speakers as w e had last year for special
meetings. In the fall all the ministers of our churches in Oita Prefecture
gathered here for a day of fellowship and conference. ' It also w a s a fare
well meeting for one of the y o ung pastors w h o w a s to m a r r y and go
to a church in the Loochoo Islands. T h e m e n enjoy an A m erican meal
together as m u c h as the ministers at home, though w e do it on a less
lavish scale here.
A g a i n serving as W . C . T . U . Treasurer, I found m u c h of interest in
the year’s work. W e engaged in no rescue w o r k this year but, by having
a goodly am o u n t in the treasury, were able to pay at once our full five
years’ assessment of Y e n SO toward the National meeting which will be held
in K y u s h u in 1938— the only society financially able to be so forehanded.
In N o v e m b e r w e joined with other Christian w o m e n ’s societies at the
time of the celebration of the opening of the O i t a - K u r u m e Railroad and
collected Y e n 300 on the streets for those suffering from the famine in
the North. W e also sent our share toward the expense of 5000 towels
sent by the National W . C . T . U . to those w h o had lost everything at the
time of the terrible typhoon which hit the O s a k a district last summer.
O u r last w o r k of the year w a s the preparation of “T e n Cent Envelopes”,
through which w e collected for the poor of Oita, and the next will be
the dressing of twenty-five dolls to sell to tourists coming into B e p p u on
the R o u n d the W o r l d tours. This is our main source of revenue for our
work.
'
A s the Su n d a y School w o r k has of necessity g r o w n less, there has been
time for m o r e calling on the w o m e n in their homes. E v e r ywhere they are
cordiality itself. Truly the doors are open in spite of anti-Christian propa
ganda and ultra-nationalistic agitation from those above. T h e ordinary
folk are as friendly and as lovable as ever and w e can g o to t h e m as often
and as freely as w e have ever done. Surely Japan is n o w at the cross
roads and if our message has ever been needed it is doubly needed now.
W h e r e it is not possible to do any direct Christian teaching w e have spe
cially been trying during these difficult days to w o r k for a better interna
tional understanding by just being friendly and using all m e ans in our
p ower to win those w e meet. T o most of th e m w e represent all that they
k n o w about America, and what they like or dislike in us they will like or
dislike w h e n they think of our country.
V e r y often w e are not privileged to see any visible results of our
work, but at Christmas time two y o ung w o m e n w h o began coming to our
house Sun d a y School w h e n they were little girls finally were baptized in
the church and one of t h e m has become a teacher of the tiny tots in the
church Su n d a y School. Such little encouragements along the w a y give us
reason for hope that the present planting of seed in the hearts of older
ones as well as of little children m a y in due time result in souls w o n for
the Master.

KAGOSHIMA
W o m e n ’s Work
For several years the w o r k under this heading has gone along steadily
without m u c h variation. Th a t w e have been able to keep up this continuity
has been due largely to the very able w o r k of the Bible W o m a n .
Naturally both of us w o r k in and with the local church, although it
is celebrating seven years of independence' this month. W e are fortunate
in K a g o s h i m a in having rooms for Sunday School work.
T h e house
Su n d a y School is in a flourishing condition; it has 145 children, divided into
five classes.
T h e meeting for maids or working girls meets once a month, the
attendance varying with circumstances. Recently some students from the
school for the training of midwives have joined. O n e of these girls
used to c o m e w h e n she w a s in maid service and has kept m o r e or less in
touch with us since— largely on her o w n initiative. Besides coming to this
meeting at our h o m e she and her friends attend the morning service at
church.
There were t w o occasions during the past year requiring careful
thought a n d planning, the results of which seem to justify the w o r k en
tailed. In the spring, at the request of the w o m e n of the church, a two-day
American-style cooking exhibition w a s put on in one of the large n e w s
paper buildings. Th a t meant the transportation of almost our entire kitchen
and the cooperation of the whole family. It not only netted a little m o n e y
for the w o m e n but, wh a t w a s m o r e important, created a cordial feeling
between the people of the church and m a n y of the leading families of the
city.
In D e c e m b e r the w o m e n invited the husbands to a Christmas meeting
at the h o m e of the missionary. T h e response w a s very good, and m a n y
m e n w h o do not seem interested in church c a m e and enjoyed the fellowship
during the A merican dinner and the Christmas program. W e were so
happy to w e l come t w o mothers at this meeting, too, and feel that they had
an opporttmity to become s o m e w h a t acquainted with the Christianity their
children have accepted.
Although the missionary’s wife must spread her energies in so m a n y
different directions, there usually is time to help students with their English
and so, through the years, m a n y friendships are established.

BASRAH
Evangelistic Work
In m y various contacts with the w o m e n I have been particularly i m
pressed by their need for friendship. V e r y few of our M o s l e m w o m e n k n o w
the meaning of true friendship, a friendship which forgets self, which sees
with the eye of love and thinks only the noblest and best. Often w h ere w e
would expect love, joy and contentment w e find sorrow, fear, hatred and dis
trust. Eve r y w h e r e there is a lack of faith in h u m a n k i n d which is robbing the
w o m e n of the most worthwhile things in life. W e long to restore this
faith by assuring them of our faith in them and our love and sympathy
for them. It is through confidence that w e hope to lead them to that
higher friendship and companionship given to us in Christ Jesus.
O n e of the greatest sources of joy to us throughout the past year w a s
our friendship with an A r a b w o m a n w h o w a s mentioned in our report last
year as having taken a definite stand for Christ. O n D e c e m b e r 10th the
missionaries and a few of her friends gathered in the chapel to be present at
her baptism and that of her little girl. It w a s an occasion of great joy to
us all, and especially for her husband w h o had been waiting for years for
her conversion. H e r faith and Christian joy have been a great inspiration to
us and a constant witness to Christ’s p o wer to change lives. In contrast to
m a n y of our other friendships there were n o closed doors, no walls of defense.
She c a m e to us with an open heart full of Christ-like love, eager to learn and
eager to share with us her experiences of Christ. I shall always treasure the
m e m o r y of the mornings w e spent together reading and discussing parts of
G o d ’s W o r d . She w a s a great asset to our weekly prayer meetings. She was
always present to help in the singing, sometimes to lead in prayer, and at
other times to give a personal testimony of her n e w faith. W e are sorry that
because of her husband’s w o r k she has had to leave Basrah, but w e are con
fident that her witness and influence will count for m u c h a m o n g the M o s l e m
w o m e n in A m a r a h . That she has m a d e an impression upon so m e of the w o m e n
here w h o k n e w her there is no doubt. A very fine testimony to her Christian
character w a s m a d e by one of her M o s l e m friends, who, comparing her with
s o m e of her other friends said,. “I like her best because she is sincere and can
be trusted.”
T h e attendance at the Thursday afternoon mejlis has varied from eight
or ten in the very hot weather during the date packing season to forty or m o r e
in the winter, the weeks before and after Christmas. On l y the poor and
middle-class w o m e n attend these meetings, and the interest s h o w n in the
Bible reading and talks has at all times been most gratifying.
T h e attendance at our Thursday club for poor children has varied little
from that of the previous year. W e are discovering that it is not a year,
but the years of contact! with these children, that counts. There is a differ
ence in the conduct and in the w o r k of the children in proportion to the time
they have been with us. W e hope that the beginnings of Christian training
they are n o w receiving will in our future contacts with them open the w a y for
a better understanding of Christ and His message.
T h r o u g h our w o r k in the h o m e s w e have kept in contact with our old
friends and have m a d e m a n y n e w ones. M a n y of our n e w friends are the
mothers a n d relatives of our club children or school boys. W e appreciate
these relationships not only from the standpoint of friendship but also for
the help which they afford us in our work.
(Mrs. George) C hristine G ossei.ink
A second year of Evangelistic W o r k in connection with the Girls’ School
has passed and it has been pleasant to pass from the role of n e w c o m e r to that
of an old friend. A s I walk through the streets of the neighborhood, instead
of meeting veiled strangers I find the veils d r a w n aside and stop for greet
ings with friends. V e r y m a n y of the doors no longer hide secret passages
but familiar courtyards where I k n o w a welcome awaits me. T h e afternoons
and s o m e mornings have been regularly given to h o m e visiting, m y sister
frequently accompanying m e w h e n I went to the families of school girls.
All of them are visited and all of the h o m e s of m y club girls as well as
various other friends. M o s t of the w o m e n return the calls; so the Friday
afternoon open house in m y “mejlis” as well as on the playground has con
tinued a popular feature of the evangelistic w o r k and a m e a n s of bringing
a closer touch between the h o m e s and the school or clubs. But on the whole
I find I c o m e closer to the w o m e n in their h o m e s than in m y o w n home, where
they are curious about the surroundings or other visitors present.
T h e club w o r k for non-school children gives m u c h happiness and help
to over fifty girls w h o ,have very few other interests or pleasures. T h e
regularity of their attendance and their unwillingness to leave even w h e n
the noon hour arrives, as well as the w o r k done, s h o w that the clubs are
filling a real need in their lives. T h e W e d n e s d a y group is composed of very
poor village girls of all ages. T h e y are quiet and industrious, taking real
joy in their work. T h e Friday club is for girls, mostly small ones, w h o are
going to mullahs the other six days of the week. A s these finish reading the
K o r a n w e hope to enroll t h e m as pupils in our o w n school. T h e M o n d a y
group is mostly of older girls in their teens. Their short school days
(most of them have had one or two years of school) are finished. T h e club
is their chief interest and, pleasure. These girls are a lively bunch, enjoying
the Bible stories and eager to re-tell them, enthusiastic about their sewing
and full of conversation about all the little things of their lives and homes.
W e are indeed just a family group with the girls sitting in A r a b style on the
narrow mattress on the floor while I sit on a very low stool before them
where I can watch and help them as it is needed.
A t the close of the year w e w o u n d up with a morning of stories and
g a m e s and candy. T h e y entered into the g a m e s with all the fun and
laughter that children everywhere display. A t the end I distributed the
prizes. This year the girls k n e w there were not enough of the nicer dolls to
go around and they must earn the better dolls if they were to receive them.
All year a special note book had kept record not only of attendance but also
of deportment and a m a r k for each piece of sewing that w a s finished, based
on the quality, not quantity, of the work. S o those w h o had labored faithfully
received their reward while the naughtier or lazy ones had to be content
with small china dolls. It was a real lesson for them, a n d to m y great
pleasure, perhaps because they had been well warned, there w a s n o complain
ing and they left for the s u m m e r very happily and urging m e to m a k e the
vacation short.
This fall m y little family groups are gathered together again. S o m e of
the girls are in their third year, so m e are new, so m e are missing but as these
have mostly entered school I a m happy about them. M o n t h by m o n t h and
year by year the ties that bind us together g r o w stronger. M o r e and mo r e
I long to share with them the truest blessings which I have received and I
pray and ask your prayers that in these hours of close companionship Christ
m a y be able through m e to d r a w close to these children and win their hearts
for Himself.

Educational Work
Basrah Girls" School— O n e year of school according to the n e w regime,
four grades and kindergarten, has been completed and another year begun
without the kindergarten. T h e class of girls that w e have n o w are from
the lower middle class and mud-hut dwellers. T h e y do not respond to law
and order of school and even after a year s h o w themselves with m o r e rough
pdges than smooth.
.
■
O u r program is very simple with the three R ’s, Bible, Hygiene and
Geography, the last two subjects being taught to a large class orally. Just
h o w m u c h the health lessons impress them outside of the classroom it is
hard to tell. T h e y still exchange g u m and hair-combs, use their handker
chiefs for wiping the board and shining their shoes as well as their intended
purpose. W h e n one realizes the h o m e background it is not surprising that
they do not absorb more.
Se w i n g is one of the most popular and most needed subjects. M a n y of
their mothers cannot sew and have to pay m o n e y they can ill spare for having
clothes made. T h e girls accomplished quite a lot in their plain sewing. T h e y
m a d e handkerchiefs, slips, and w a r m dresses for themselves or kindergarten
tots. T h e Guild Boxes furnished m a n y dresses and as m o r e were needed the
older girls m a d e th e m for the little ones. This kind of giving w e approve
as the girls give something in return for what they receive. After the girls
finished their slips they could buy t h e m for twelve cents, a little less than
the cost price. W h e n the required sewing w a s completed they could w o r k
on anything they brought, such as pillow, table or couch covers. O u r efforts
to train their choice of color were hopeless; so n o w their colors run riot,
but perhaps their taste is as good as ours.
A t Christmas time w e had our school party and w e were so pleased
with the fine prog r a m that the teachers and girls arranged. It w a s far
better than w e dared hope for. Dolls were given to most of the girls and
greatly appreciated. In fact they are one of the big drawing-cards for
school. Free dresses for winter is another. This year w e are not going to
give dolls until the end of the year, and the girls-will receive them in accord
ance with their attendance and behavior in school. O u r numbers slumped
so badly in the spring that w e feel this to be a necessary move. T h e girls
are n o w sewing on handkerchiefs, which they will receive at Christmas tied
up full of candy.
This year at morning exercises the children are reciting Psalms and
N e w Testament passages.
In this w a y they’ll acquire a lot of helpful
material, and w h o k n o w s but they m a y be helped in so m e dark hour in
the future by recalling such passages and getting comfort from them.
This year as a matter of e c o n o m y w e gave u p the kindergarten. T h e
kindergarten w a s a great attraction and often girls c a m e to us because w e
could take younger brothers or sisters. O u r enrolment so far is 63 and
of these 60 are Moslems. W e do take courage and thank G o d that w e
have so m a n y M o s l e m s under our influence and pray that w e m a y be used
in changing lives and winning t h e m to Christ.

KUWAIT
Evangelistic Work
'
Reporting on the W o m e n ’s Evangelistic W o r k in K u w a i t year by year is
not an easy task, for the w o r k does not vary very much. T h e w o m e n of
K u w a i t are very friendly and there is no lack of callers. W i t h this friendly
spirit one w o uld like to be able to say that their hearts were open to our
message of salvation, but there does not seem to be m u c h improvement
in that line. It has been m y privilege to give a simple Gospel talk at the
dispensary t w o mornings a week. This I consider a very great opportunity
to tell the M o s l e m w o m e n about the love of G o d in providing a w a y of
salvation. T h e crowd, all seated on the floor of the hospital veranda, listen
very attentively and are often willing to acknowledge their failures, but it is
hard for them to see G o d ’s justice as well as His mercy.
F o r about four years a y o u n g girl has been coming to m e three
mornings a w e e k for lessons in Arabic reading and writing.
She has
m a d e splendid progress and is most eager to excel. Last spring she brought
her sister w h o has graduated from the K o r a n school and so k n o w s h o w to
read. A t present w e are reading Pollyanna in Arabic. T w o other morningsare spent in teaching a little girl to write. H e r father goes off on long
journeys in a sailing boat and he longs for a letter from his family. O f
course it would not be proper for his wife to write, but for his little girl
it would be just right. She has finished her education as far as the K o r a n
school goes, so w e did not have to begin at the very beginning. However,
w e spend time reading as well as writing and real progress is being made.
It seems strange but none the less true that an A r a b girl can read a half page
or so without understanding what it is all about. O n e point I a m constantly
trying to emphasize is “W h a t are you reading about?” But the enthusiasm
that a western child has in reading a story seems difficult to a w a k e n in m y
little A r a b pupil. T h e world of books, pleasant stories and history has been
closed to her for so m a n y generations that she has very little curiosity. T h e
hours spent with these pupils give one wonderful opportunities to witness
for Christ, and often m o r e time is spent in talking over so m e spiritual truth
than in reading Pollyanna.
Five M o s l e m w o m e n attend m y little Su n d a y School every Sunday
morning. Last year w e studied the Life, of Christ in the Gospel of St.
M a t t h e w and this au t u m n w e have begun studying it in St. Jo h n ’s Gospel.
T h e five w o m e n all k n o w the L o r d ’s Prayer and have learned a n u m b e r
of h y m n s by heart. T h e y all love to sing.
A n d so the days are full and the w o r k goes on. T h e steady friend
ships and .making of n e w contacts with the w o m e n and children of Kuwait
must wear d o w n the fanaticism. I a m not so sure that it will overcome the
anti-foreign feeling which seems to be on the increase all over the N e a r East.

Medical Work
T h e loss of a good lady doctor, lack of a literate helper, and a staff so
small as to keep patients waiting for hours seem not to deter the growth
of d e m a n d for medical attention by the w o m e n and children of Kuwait.
Thirty-seven thousand plus is the figure to report for the out-patient depart
ment. There is an overflow attended to in the hospital for men.
Obstetrical w o r k interests m e greatly, but it d e m ands so m u c h time
that, under the present circumstances, this department cannot be cultivated.
Dr. Mylrea officiated at six cases in the W o m e n ’s Hospital operating r o o m
during the nine months he w a s here. There were twenty-one cases in all.
In-patients are ever with us. Fully a third of the one hundred thirty-one
were children under ten years of age. Resentment and fear are giving way.
There is no doubt that a large part of each day could be spent mak i n g
free outcalls. It would be an excellent evangelistic opportunity, but it is
not possible to do so. Free calls are made, but this, in the main, remains
an earning department. People are exceedingly poor, clinics bring in little,
but I have been able to collect considerable from other departments and Dr.
Mylrea has cleared a good s u m on surgery done for s o m e wealthy
women.
Vaccination has become popular since the great loss of children from
smallpox during the epidemic of 1932. Last winter w e could not get hold
of enough vaccine to keep abreast of the demand.
There were 1027
vaccinations done, however, and a satisfyingly large n u m b e r of “takes .
Clinics keep an average of 140-150. There were m a n y m i d - s u m m e r
days w h e n I s a w over two hundred. T h e electric fans were a great asset.
W o r k began early and there seemed never to be an end. E v ery credit
is due to the spirit and w o r k of the meagre staff for w o m e n and children,
for it w a s a great tax on everyone.
This w o r k is large and it is important and it merits— to say nothing of
its dema n d s for— a w o m a n doctor. T h e unfailing helpfulness of Dr. Mylrea
is the greatest stronghold, and I place here m y very real appreciation. W e
hope for funds to supply a thoroughly literate, qualified and reliable native
helper. W e hope that Dr. Bruins m a y remain with us and mention again
h o w keenly the w o r k feels the loss of Dr. Barny.

“All the w a y our Saviour leads us,
W h a t have w e to ask beside?"
T h e above has been impressed on us m o r e than ever this past year.
W i t h the ever decreasing finances G o d ’s Spirit has increased, and our prayer
for deeper faith has been answered m o r e than w e can say.
T h e W o m e n ’s Evangelistic w o r k in Bahrain w a s carried on throughout
the year not only by the missionary in charge but by all the ladies in the
station and their two A r a b helpers.
•
O u r Thursday “at h o m e ” is as popular as ever. T h e w o m e n w h o c o m e
get a Bible message every time and w e often wonder h o w m u c h they grasp.
M a n y c o m e year after year and acknowledge that Christianity is better than
Mohammedanism.
T h e y can’t help seeing that, but the things that w e
abhor seem commonplace to them.
Christmas happened to c o m e just in the beginning of the m o n t h of fast
ing, so w e had our big entertainment in the evening outside. T h e school girls
dramatized the Christmas story in a very pleasing manner. T h e y gave it
on the veranda of the two-family Mission house, and the c rowd w h o c a m e
had seats and air enough. Refreshments were served to at least 300, and
everyone could partake because it w a s after sunset. W e had a special
meeting for the poor and the girls gave their play again. W e had these
w o m e n c o m e alone as w e then distributed the w a r m clothing fr o m the
Guild Box.
. Calling on the w o m e n in their h o m e s w a s carried on as usual and m a n y
of the w o m e n returned our calls. If s o m e of the ladies w h o used to live
here should visit us, w e are sure they would see a vast difference in the
freedom of the better-class w o m e n .
These w o m e n are well versed in
the K o r a n and can repeat most of it extremely well. O n e told m e the
K o r a n w a s such a wonderful book that w h e n she read it she couldn’t under
stand it. I replied that ours w a s so wonderful that w e understood it and it
w a s our daily Guide.
Hospital Evangelism; w a s carried on with daily clinic prayers for
helpers a n d patients, visiting the in-patients and reading to them, and weekly
prayer meetings for helpers and any w h o desired to come. The' hospital
helper is never afraid of witnessing and is a great influence for good in the
hospital. T h e girl w h o w a s recently baptized has been having lessons with
her all s u m m e r and w e were surprised at her knowledge of the essentials of
Christianity. She is to m a r r y A b b a s and he wants a Christian home. H e r
family is willing, and they seem very happy.
Another girl w h o has been baptized fled from her h o m e three years
ago fearing death fr o m her angry relatives. She has been living with the
hospital helper and going to school and it is largely these influences that
m a d e her ask for baptism. A niece of the hospital helper and her o w n
g r o w n daughter also were baptized.
S o the seed is being s o w n day by day, in the church, in the schools, in
the hospitals and in the homes, and our prayer for the year to c o m e is that
G o d ’s Spirit m a y direct m a n y to us w h o are thirsting after righteousness
and that w e m a y lead them to the Fountain of Life.

Educational W o r k
A s I sit d o w n to review the w o r k of the school year of 1933-34 I could
rewrite m y report of 1932-33 with only a difference in figures, which as usual
s h o w an increase. O u r enrollment w a s 113 rather than 110. W h e n one has
54 desks crowded into space that would be comfortable for 40 and then tries
to seat 60 and 70 pupils in the 54 desks, need one reiterate the phrase that
has been written for so m e years n o w in this report: "We are still over-
crotvdcd; we long for additional classroom space”?
T h e only change in the Faculty w a s the engaging of our graduate as a
regular full-time teacher. In our last report she w a s a sixth grade pupil
and a “pupil-teacher.” T h e Curriculum remains the same. This s u m m e r w e
had printed our o w n Arabic Primer for use in the first grade.
During the year the pupils enjoyed their annual Christmas Party,
s u m m e r Picnic and Last D a y Party. A fine Sewing Exhibit w a s displayed
to interested friends toward the close of the year.
T h e Club has held regular meetings all year and all through s u m m e r
vacation. In the spring, for the annual Guest Day, the m e m b e r s presented
two plays, an elaborate six-act one in Arabic and a short hum o r o u s skit
in English. All the rehearsals took place outside of school hours except
the last dress rehearsal, which w a s given with the rest of the school as
spectators, to their great wonder and delight. T h e play meant a great
deal of w o r k and w a s the Club’s greatest effort .along this line, but it was
such a tremendous triumph that all their toil w a s forgotten in the glory of
their achievement. T h e audience of specially invited guests w a s thrilled, not
expecting such a wonderful program, so everyone went h o m e delighted
and happy. M y o w n highest m o m e n t s of joy c a m e in seeing the girls off
stage listening to their mates performing on stage. T h e y were tense in their
fellow-feeling and overjoyed w h e n they heard their mates scoring successes.
T h e y were a perfect working team, each unit feeling responsible and
responsive to all the others.
Three of the school girls have been baptized this month. This item
by rights belongs in the next report, since the n e w school year has begun,
but it is too good to keep. All three are from our Orphanage. W e ask
your prayers for these n e w “babes in Christ” that they m a y be kept faithful
and strong, increasing in w i s d o m and grace, and also for the rest of the
school that m a n y m a y be called to follow H i m w h o said, “Suffer the children
to c o m e unto me.”

T h e M a r i o n Wells T h o m s Memorial on the “H i g h w a y to Healing”
has sheltered 254 patients in this past year. W i t h each patient abed there
are usually t w o or m o r e relatives attending w h o enjoy the hospitality of the
w o m e n of the R.C.A. W e call this memorial a Hospital and a Dispensary,
rightly so because of the m a n y medical activities within its walls. However,
it might equally claim the n a m e of Religious and Social Center, for such it
has been to a larger number. I truly believe that if the author of “R o a d
Builders”* had spent the past year with us questioning the m a n y going and
coming, she might have received s o m e such answers as these: “H e r e w e
find love, sympathy, joy, a good time, and cool breezes on a hot day”, “No,
w e do not want to be discharged yet, please let us stay another day. W h e n
w e get h o m e w e have to put up with quarreling, etc.” S o m e w ould say:
“W e have become acquainted with Christ and w e want to hear m o r e about
H i m and his teaching.”
A n attractive corner is our B a b y W a r d and Orphanage. It draws visi
tors. T h e little tots reflect the happy smile of their Christian housemother.
“W h e r e is Jesus?” says the hospital helper to her little ones, and up w a r d
stretch their little arms to the heavens while tiny lips attempt: “Jesus up
there.” “Jesus Loves M e ” is sung by the older ones, as well as m a n y other
h y m n s they have learned in school. Three of our orphans received special
instruction from Mrs. H a k k e n in preparation for the sacrament of baptism.
T h e busiest corner is our morning Dispensary. H e r e w e meet representa
tives of every class and age of w o m a n h o o d as well as bearers of every bac
terium and parasite, both visible and'invisible. Children’s diseases either due
to malnutrition or aggravated by it are one of our main worries. Malaria
no doubt heads the list of diseases but is rather encouraging to treat.
A patient of a fanatic M o s l e m sect confided in us secretly that she had
been told by a religious leader that she w a s possessed of an evil spirit.
“Please read over m e f r o m your book and pray over m e the Christian’s
prayer to drive this bad spirit out of m e ”, she said. “D o you believe that
I a m possessed?” A few minutes’ conversation revealed a heartbreaking
story too vile for print of influences sufficiently powerful to unbalance any
mind. A n appeal to our all-powerful Physician w a s the only way. T h e
patient w a s right in demanding the reading of the Christian’s book and the
Christian’s prayer.
T h e daily staff morning prayers has developed into a Bible Class to
which the' early arrivals (patients attending the dispensary) are invited. So
w e believe and hope that the w o r k in the Ma r i o n Wells T h o m s Hospital
is no longer “a key to open the door into a non-Christian c o m m u n i t y ” only,
but an “integral part of the Missionary enterprise” in Bahrain.

This report is being written amid the beauty and the quiet of the
Syrian hills. Several of our Arabian Mission have been here this summer.
O u r rest has been a blessing to us, physically, mentally and spiritually.
I will try to tell you briefly of the workings of G o d ’s Spirit in some
of the w o m e n in and around Muscat.
There is a w o m a n in w h o m the Spirit of the Lo r d is working. She
has secretly declared her faith in Christ and is gradually gaining courage
to s h o w where her interests and desires are. She is married and has two
children, and whatever decisions she m a kes will affect th e m directly and
it m a y be her o w n relation with them. A s w e think of these and m a n y
others w h o have caused us to hope and then consider the difficulties that
are so great, w e r e m e m b e r the words of St. Paul, “A great door and
effectual is opened unto m e and there are m a n y adversaries.”
There is another w o m a n w e have learned to k n o w during the year.
Mrs. Harrison first c a m e into contact with her in the Muttrah Hospital.
Later, w e s a w her several times in Birket on our bi-weekly tours. T h e
w o m a n had cancer and w a s told there w a s no cure for her, so she desired
to return to her people that she might die there. She lingered o n beyond
the doctor’s expectation. In this w o m a n there w a s such a spirit of peace
and resignation, such a fearlessness at the thought of death and such an
expectation of being with the Lo r d that it has caused us to wonder. She
w a s always glad to hear the messages fr o m our Book, yet at n o time did
she seem to doubt her o w n faith by which she had lived all of her life.
S h e spoke confidently of her dying and longed to be relieved of her pain.
O n e week, w h e n she bade; us goodbye, she said, “I don’t k n o w if I shall be
here w h e n you c o m e again. If I am, come, for I wa n t to see you, but if I
have gone I shall be with m y Lord.” H e r whole attitude w a s one of
blessing us as m u c h as being blessed; her peace and trust in G o d seemed
no less than that of m y Christian friend w h o m I have seen facing “the
last dread e n e m y ”. A n d yet w e cannot say that she accepted Christ as w e
understand it and think of it. O u r thoughts went back to Cornelius and to
Peter’s words: “O f a truth I perceive that G o d is no respecter of persons;
but in every nation he that feareth H i m and worketh righteousness is
accepted with H i m . ”
T h e S u n d a y School has continued to be full of interest and encourage
ment. T h e enrolment is about that of last year. W e are pleased to see a
larger n u m b e r of Arabs attending. W e n u m b e r six classes as before. It is
not possible to put d o w n on paper all the influences at w o r k in the hearts
of the children which encourage the teachers. Creating an atmosphere for
the reception of Christ and His message cannot easily be expressed in
words. It is as w e deal, with these boys and girls that w e do see that
precept upon precept . . . line upon line . . , here a little, there a little is
producing changes. Ea c h year the grim Reaper takes his toll from a m o n g
the children. This year one of th e m w a s a very lovable A r a b boy of about
nine. H e w a s sick only from midnight till sun-up with a bad attack of
malaria. His engaging smile, his courteous ways, and his eager participa
tion in everything in Su n d a y School had endeared h i m to us all and w e
missed h i m very much. W h e n I called on his mother she told m e h o w he
cherished the postcards he had received and h o w he planned to s h o w them
to his cousins in Birket next s u m m e r and tell th e m about the Su n d a y
School in Muscat. T h e n she said something m o r e which filled m e with
gratitude and encouragement. She told h o w she had remonstrated at times
» with her lioy about coming to us so much. It is quite possible that there
w a s as m u c h fear of our influence as consideration for us in this. But
w h e n she tried to persuade him not to go, his simple, convincing answer
was, “But she loves us.” S o m a n y children, so m a n y things to attend to,
that it is not always possible to do for them as w e would like to do, yet
just to love them is the first step in fulfilling the L o r d ’s c o m m a n d , “Feed
M y lambs.”
'
O u r aim is to keep in touch with the older boys and girls w h o have to
quit coming because of w o r k or w h o get married. A beginning has been
m a d e with these older girls, most of w h o m are married. O n e morning a
w e e k they c o m e to do so m e handwork, then w e have a Bible lesson, fol
lowed by g a m e s if they have time and refreshments once a month. But
for all this there must be permission from guardians and husbands, and as
these girls g r o w older the, screws of Islam are put on m o r e 'firmly.
Reading-lessons, housevisiting, receiving callers have all been part of
the year’s w o r k as in the past. O n e w o m a n w h o has been coming for m o r e
than two years and w h o at one time seemed m u c h interested has decided
against a closer approach to Christ. She seemed to be different last fall,
less ready to participate. W e thought that perhaps she had been threatened.
Later she began to express opposing views. A s a K o r a n teacher she seemed
to feel it w a s her duty to defend Islam before the other M o s l e m w o m e n .
W e do k n o w that she has been spoken to by her group, w h o are from a
strong and influential tribe, about her attendance at our services, and they
would surely reproach her, being the daughter of one of their leading mullahs
and herself a K o r a n teacher. And, also, although almost blind, she m akes
her scanty living by teaching the K o r a n to the children of s o m e of the
families of this group, and that pittance she so earns is in danger of being
withheld. In' her last conversation she said: “I have learned m u c h and I
like to. c o m e but if in accepting the Christian teaching I must let m y o w n
g o I do not want to.” N o one had said anything to her about that, but
Christ as the only W a y and the only N a m e by which w e can be saved has
been proclaimed always and she has m a d e her o w n deductions. A t times
she seems like one pulled two w a y s and she is resisting. T h o u g h the door
of direct help m a y be closed against us in her case the door of prayer
cannot be closed.
T h u s the w o r k has been carried on for another year. G o d ’s gracious
invitation, “L o o k unto M e and be ye saved” has been proclaimed and w e
k n o w that G o d ’s Spirit is working to bring m e n to Christ.

T h e contrast between the daily attendance in the Mu s c a t dispensary
this past year and that of twenty years ago has been interesting. In those
days there were five to twenty a d a y ; but this past year w e had from
fifty to m o r e than ninety. W e also had big attendances at morning prayers,
w h e n the whole veranda w a s literally filled with all classes fr o m various
parts of the town.
I wish I could report as m u c h progress in their
attitude to the Gospel but I fear I must write, “Their ears are dull of
hearing.”
W h e n I m a d e m y tour to Sohar and other villages in 1931— one
hundred thirty miles to the north of Muscat— I s a w the great need of dis
pensary w o r k a m o n g the village people and the opportunities that such a w o r k
could give to present the Gospel to them. In those days I had t w o nurses
and m o n e y enough to keep the Muscat w o r k open. But since that is i m
possible at present, it w a s not an easy problem to decide just w here the
L o r d wanted m e to w o r k this year. After m u c h prayer the w a y opened
for m e to c o m e and spend a few months on this north coast at Khabora,
where before there were such crowds of people calling daily. A Presby
terian friend sent m e a check to meet this expense and I a m grateful.
W e c a m e to K h a b o r a the nineteenth of October and are having a daily
attendance of from fifty to ninety-five. T h e y c o m e from miles a w a y along
the coast and from inside of O m a n . W e are having m o r e Bedouin w o m e n
than I have had before. Sometimes they walk three days and a half carry
ing a sick baby. T h e y c o m e all hours of the day. O n e day at twelve w h e n
w e were closing for lunch, w e looked out and s a w twenty camels coming
in, carrying Arabs on to another place. M o s t of them c a m e u p for m e d
icines and one m a n with very bad eyelids remained for a trichiasis opera
tion. H e turned out to be an influential m a n in his village, and through
him others are coming.
T h e village Arabs have been listening seriously to the Gospel. But
so m e have such dull minds they can hardly understand h o w to take the
simplest instructions for drinking their medicines. Islam most certainly
withers the mind.
_
W e are living in date huts, with our tents stretched over the roofs to
protect us if the rain comes. O u r sand floors are also covered with mats
of date branches, so our liying is comfortable but extremely simple.
T h e local ruler has s h o w n sympathetic interest in our work, which
m eans m u c h help to us. In fact his soldiers have not only been respectful
to us but have borrowed m y N e w Testament a n d have been reading it
hours at a time.
W e praise our Heavenly Father for the health to carry o n this work.
W e praise H i m for ma k i n g us realize m o r e clearly our o w n insufficiency
in these problems and our need of relying or abiding in H i m and taking
from H i m continuously His wisdom, His patience and His grace. W e
praise H i m for the n e w life, strength and spiritual courage and faith w e
receive daily from His written W o r d .
W e desire your prayers that the H o l y Spirit m a y touch the W o r d of
G o d with His power and, life as w e give it out to these village Arabs.

In reviewing the w o r k of the past year, w e cannot say that w e have
had tangible results, but! w e have obeyed our L o r d ’s c o m m a n d , teaching
His message of love by precept and example. M o r e and m o r e one feels
that the M o s l e m looks up to the missionary for the example of a consistent
Christian life. In this w e ought not to fail, always pointing h i m to the
Perfect Example, Jesus Christ, w h o can save him from sin and death.
Personally I have received real joy and help in teaching others. S o m e
times I have felt that thei message was in vain, falling on unwelcoming ears
and hard hearts— then again there seemed to be a response for a time, only
to be choked by the cares of this world. T h e w o r k has been m u c h the
sa m e as that of other years— individual Bible teaching and Arabic reading
lessons in addition to prayer meeting and Bible talks. S o m e of the leper
w o m e n are very eager to hear the message which they receive three times
a week, and it is gratifying to have them re m e m b e r the lessons and apply
the teaching.
W e are happy to have a Christian convert with us here in A m a r a h . It
is so refreshing to hear her testimony and to see the eagerness and fear
lessness with which she tells everyone she meets about Christ, her Saviour.
M a y G o d bless her richly and m a k e her a m e ans of bringing m a n y w o m e n
out of darkness into the light.
All available time outside of giving lessons w a s spent in m a k i n g calls
and receiving callers. O h ! that so m e of our better-class friends would
really desire the Truth. T h e religious ones are too fanatic and those w h o
have of this world’s goods are not interested. H o w can w e a w a k e n in
them a hunger and thirst for the Salvation Christ offers? W e humbly
pray for w i s d o m to handle these problems and m a n y others which face
us in His W o r k fr o m day to day.
Medical W o r k
(Mrs. William) C ora M oerdyk
There are several doctors in A m a r a h , a good G o v e rnment Hospital,
any num b e r of licensed midwives and a school nurse, but the Mission Hospital
continues to d r a w crowds of patients and continues to maintain its place
in the life of the community. A n d its place is that of a Christian institution,
where all that w e do is done in the n a m e of and for the sake of Christ.
It is our aim to keep this always before the minds of the people. But
this is sometimes difficult to do. T h e poor c o m e to us for help and are
given what they need, and the suffering c o m e for relief and get it, but
some of them get the idea that w e are out here for that purpose only, and
they are out for all they can get. But the fact remains that every patient
w h o comes to the hospital, whether rich or poor, is a spiritually needy
person, and w e are here to fell them that they need Jesus Christ, w h o has
a message for them.
T h e daily clinics for w o m e n center around Thursdays, w h e n all the
poor patients are seen by the doctor free of charge. T h e large crowds are
far m o r e orderly than they were a few years ago, which is due to Miss
Lutton’s untiring efforts at establishing law and order in the waiting-room.
During the s u m m e r she is there from 6 A. M . until the last of the two
hundred or m o r e patients has 'picked up her crying babies and broken cup
or medicine bottle and passed through the door into the office.
In Obstetrical W o r k the total n u m b e r of cases in nine months is higher
than last year’s total for 12 months (1933, 80; 1934, 92). T w e n t y - t w o of
these were in the hospital. I a m sorry to report that only thirteen of the
entire n u m b e r paid fees, but on the other hand a m happy to report that
again the record is one of 1 0 0 % recovery; that is, a m o n g the 92, there
was not one case of infection. It has been encouraging to see patients
coming in from outside villages. It is difficult to keep these patients in
hospital as long as they should be there. Their idea is to pick up their
babes and walk out about the second or third day. Every year the record
of the mothers is better than that of the babies. T h e mother receives
after-care for a w e e k or m o r e and then resumes her normal duties if she
has not done so before that time. But after the nurse’s last visit, the
helpless n e w baby is left to the too tender mercies of the mother and
relatives, with the usual disastrous results. I keep in touch with as m a n y
as I can, and try to help and instruct them, but m a n y of the babies have
died, if not during the first year, then the second. Child Welfare W o r k
has been started by the Health Department in Bag h d a d ; w e hope that the
enthusiasm will spread. T h e pre-natal w o r k w e began last year is pro
gressing as w o m e n are being educated to it.
Leper Work for Women — Last year w e reported 14 leper w o m e n
being cared for in our leper colony. T h e present n u m b e r is 13, one of these
a girl of about 12. Six n e w patients were admitted during the year, but
an equal n u m b e r left or were discharged and one died. Seven n e w out
patients c a m e for treatment but stopped coming after a few injections.
O f the leper w o m e n at present under our care, t w o have been treated for
over t w o years, eight over one year, and the remaining three for six months.
This concludes the Medical Report but I wish to add a few words
about the Sunday School. T h e class remains about the same in attendance—
from 40 to 70. T h e increase is always near Christmas-time. T h e most
regular ones have been with us for four and one-half years. T h e y are all
poor children— except the Sabeans, w h o are older and form a separate class—
m a n y of w h o m get hardly enough to feed them and keep them clothed
decently. T h e y receive no education whatsoever and no h o m e training,
and the short time they spend with us every Sunday morning is not trans
forming their lives so that one could notice it, but w e cannot help feel
that w e are bringing th e m a little w a y along the road that leads to Jesus
Christ, and w e go on patiently from w e e k to w e e k hoping that so m e day
they m a y see H i m beckoning them at the end of the road.

American School for Girls— T h e

O n e feels a difference in the atmosphere the m o m e n t one steps

A t 7:30, 8 :00, or 8:30, according to the season of the year, the school
bell is rung and the girls line up in the courtyard by classes, and soon a
hundred voices or m o r e are lustily singing an Arabic hymn. T h e n they
recite one of m a n y Psalms which they have committed to m e m ory, or the
T e n C o m m a n d m e n t s , and that is followed by an English prayer h y m n such
as, “Father of All, T h y Child a m I”, or “Father, Lead M e D a y by D a y ”.
T h e n the girls go up to the classrooms built around the court.
There are wide verandas on two sides, which serve as recitation rooms
w h e n both classes that occupy one r o o m have recitation periods that .coin
cide. In winter, w h e n the rooms with their brick floors are most u n c o m
fortably cold, every class vies for a place on the sunny veranda, which w e
call our “sun-parlor”. A t recess, instead of going d o w n to the courtyard
to play, all try to get a; bit of w a r m t h from the sun. “In s u m m e r quite
the other w a y ”, they try to find the spot farthest a w a y from the sun. W e
can’t use our surdabs, the cellar-like r o oms so popular in the hot weather,
because lighting a n d ventilation in t h e m are not adequate for school work,
but w e begin w o r k as early in the day as w e can and dismiss the pupils
at one o’clock. T h e heat is terrific at that time of the day, but the girls,
after their noonday meal, sleep for an hour or m o r e before preparing their
lessons for the following day. Neither the cold of our two winter months
nor the heat which begins in April are conducive to g o o d study, and one
often marvels at the amo u n t of w o r k accomplished.
M o s t of our girls from the poorest families are married off while
quite young, and it is so m e consolation to k n o w that they have had a few
happy, helpful years in wholesome surroundings, years in which they have
learned something of wh a t purity of life and integrity, as taught by O n e
w h o m they have learned in s o m e measure to revere, m a y m e a n to them.
T h e marriage age for those of the so-called upper classes is very m u c h
higher because those girls are remaining in school for a term of years which
is steadily increasing. O f the eighteen girls w h o have graduated from our
Junior H i g h School, twelve have gone on to higher schools, half of them
in B a g h d a d and the others to Beirut; four have married— three to m e n w h o
have had s o m e training abroad in their professions and the fourth to a
business man. T h e first of our graduates to go to Beirut has graduated
from the A merican School for Girls there, and is n o w teaching in the G o v
ernment School of H o m e Arts, the Am e r i c a n principal of which is m u c h
pleased with her work.
It is interesting to see the reaction of n e w teachers to our school. T h e
group of Syrians fr o m which our teachers c o m e is a Christian group and
most of their associates have been Christians. Two-thirds of our pupils
are from non-Christian h o m e s and the teachers who- c o m e to us are sur
prised to find them so responsive to the Christian message. O n e of th e m
gets quite excited w h e n she talks of her Bible Class and the thoughtful
w a y in which questions had been answered in an examination after a t w o
months’ course in the Gospel of Matthew.
M o r e and m o r e one learns to appreciate the opportunity in a Mission
School of having students under instruction not only day after day, but
m o n t h after month, and in m a n y cases, year after year. A n d each year
does so definitely s h o w progress in the school as a whole and in individuals.
There are the girls w h o m w e have been on the point of expelling for fear
their influence over the others was bad but still held on in the hope of
being able to help them; w e are being richly rewarded, in so m e cases at
least, by seeing th e m m a k e m o r e and m o r e of an effort to be like the older
girls w h o m they have learned to admire. A n d there are these older girls,
in turn, feeling responsible for helping those w h o have little opportunity
of learning anything worthwhile except at school.
T h e Junior H i g h School girls have learned a prayer which begins,
“Grant, 0 Lord, that this day which T h o u hast given us in m e r c y m a y be
returned to T h e e in service”. So, O Lord, m a y the lives which T h o u hast
given us Ije returned to T h e e in Service. A n d again in the words of the
prayer, “If in anything w e fail or c o m e short, through ignorance or w e a k
ness, O God, let T h y fatherly w i s d o m correct us, and Thine infinite mercy
forgive us, and T h y divine love a m e n d our fault; through Jesus Christ
our Saviour .

A N N U A L REPORTS
For the Year Ending May, 1935
CORRESPONDING SECRETARY
A year “of lights and shadows intervolved!” Sometimes the clouds
seemed dark, indeed, but clouds are transient, and shadows are evidence
that above and beyond the clouds, there is a S u n clear-shining.
T o so m e of our m e m b e r s has c o m e the high privilege and joy of. ascent
beyond the cloud-line,
“W h e r e loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through
In G o d ’s most holy sight.”
Others of us have c o m e close to the border and been sent back to w o r k
a little longer here. M a n y of our Board M e m b e r s and Missionaries have
seen dear ones “vanish out of their sight”, leaving earth lonelier, but bringing
heaven nearer.
Several times during the year w e have been called to
sympathize with the W o m e n ’s Board of Domestic Missions as the shadows
of illness, accident and death have swept acsess their sky. T h e passing
of Mrs. John S. Bussing and Mrs. Dirk Scholten has brought personal loss
to both Boards.
O f our o w n Mrs. E b e n E. Olcott, for twenty-eight years devoted
Secretary for Arabia, and Mrs. Frederick S. Douglas, eleven years Treas
urer of the Board and fifteen years Vice-President for the S ynod of N e w
Brunswick it is difficult to write m o r e than has already been said, not
because there is not m o r e — m u c h mo r e — to say, but because their personal
friendship, their comradeship in service, their worldwide influence, extend
ing into the world eternal, can never be estimated or told by tongue or pen.
Is it too m u c h to assume that in the achievement of the “impossible” by the
Board this year and in the ripening of the long-awaited harvest they still
are sharing by their continued intercession? S o must it be also with the
beloved physician, Dr. Lewis Scudder, reunited n o w with an innumerable
host of friends w h o m his spiritual ministry in India brought into the
K i n g d o m of Heaven. W e could not grieve at the translation of our H o n
orary Vice-President, Mrs. J. S. N. Demarest; it seemed so fitting that
she should so swiftly follow her husband into the other H o m e .
W e are sorry to lose from our membership Mrs. Charles W a g n e r and
Mrs. N o r m a n V. Peale, both from the Marble Collegiate Church. W e wel
c o m e as n e w m e m b e r s Mrs. G. H . Tellman of Muskegon, Michigan, Mrs.
Charles Tuxill of Marble Collegiate Church, Mrs. Martin de W o l f e (Ruth
Scudder), formerly of India, and Miss M a r y S u y d a m of Highland Park, N. J.
Changes in the Classical Committee are as follows: Mrs. T h o m a s
Hughes, through the transfer of the First Church of Passaic to the Classis
of Paramus, becomes associated with Mrs. H a w k i n s in P a r a m u s Classis.
Mrs. Peter Keyset succeeds Mrs. H u g h e s in Passaic Classis; Mrs. A. W .
Hopper, because of residence in N e w Y o r k City, resigns from Palisades
Classis. Mrs. David R. Reese succeeds Mrs. H o p p e r in the Classis of
Palisades. Mrs. J. A. V a n W y k and M r s Lester Kuyper, respectively,
have been appointed Associate Classical Committees in M u s k e g o n and
G r a n d Rapids. Mrs. H e n r y Zoller, Classical Committee for M o n t g o m e r y
Classis, having celebrated, her 95th birthday, injured her hip in a fall and
missed the Classical Missionary Conference for the first time in forty-six
years!
Another record worthy of note is that of Mrs. A n n a Bruins,
Classis of Pella, who, though a patient at Bethesda Sanitarium in Denver,
Colo, throughout the winter, has faithfully attended to all her Committee
correspondence. T o all our Classical helpers w e would express sincere
appreciation of all they have done to further the interests of this foreign
department of the Reformed Church Mission work.
T h e B o a r d ’s adventures in co-operation have been happy and profitable.
It has been the privilege of the President, the Corresponding Secretary and
the Recording Secretary to represent the W o m a n ’s Board at the meetings
of the B o a r d of Foreign Missions and its Executive Committee.
The
Corresponding Secretary, with the Secretary for each field, has attended
the meetings of S y n o d ’s B o a r d ’s Field Committees. These n e w relations
have, w e feel, been mutually helpful and w e express herewith to S y n o d ’s
Board our recognition of this courtesy, whereby the W o m a n ’s Board
becomes m o r e thoroughly informed of the policies and actions of both
the Board and the Missions. A sh a d o w is cast upon this happy experience
by the coincident resignation from the Secretaryship of the Board of
Foreign Missions of Dr. William I. Chamberlain, w h ose missionary states
manship, renowned, far beyond the confines of our R e f o r m e d Church, w e
have been accustomed to jean upon with assurance and comfort and whose
genuine friendship has been our delight. T h e time of farewell has not
yet come, but the time of well-wishing is always present. For the first time
the t w o Foreign Boards united in the promotion of Foreign Missions
m o n t h in the churches by the joint publication of a pictorial and informa
tional calendar for February entitled “O u r W o r l d Neighbors”.
O u r closer cooperation with the W o m e n ’s Board of Domestic Missions
through the Joint Committee of the W o m e n ’s Boards, supplementing the
ever friendly relations of the Board officers, has m a d e possible joint c o m
munications to the auxiliaries on so m e matters in which the correspondence
from the two Boards has frequently overlapped. W e would m a k e clear
to the auxiliaries that this is merely a Committee of the t w o Boards, not
a joint organization, and that letters should be addressed to the separate
Boards, not, as frequently happens, to the Women’s Boards of Missions.
This address to a non-existent partnership is confusing and inconvenient
because the two Boards have separate and distinct offices and staffs. S o m e
confusion arises also from the application of W o m e n ’s Societies to the
Missionary Education Department or- the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Department for
help with w o m e n ’s society programs. W h ile there is closest cooperation
between the Boards and the Missionary Education Department, to which
w e constantly look for the helps and suggestions which it is so well
qualified to give, the correspondence regarding W o m e n ’s and Junior
W o m e n ’s Societies (not Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Leagues) should be addressed
to the W o m e n ’s Boards.
T h o u g h the reorganization of the Boards of
Education and Publication ordered by General S y n o d last June placed the
Missionary Education Department under the aegis of the Board of Education
instead of under the Mission Boards, it is still financed by the four Mission
Boards and serves as their educational agency in Church, Su n d a y School,
Y o u n g People’s Societies and children’s groups.
F o r a time it seemed as if w e should have to release Miss Weddell from
her service as Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Secretary to give full time to the arduous
duties of the Missionary Education Department. T h e y oung w o m e n of the
Church will rejoice with the Boards that Miss Weddell still finds it pos
sible to carry part time w o r k in each department. T h o u g h relieved of the
secretaryship of the Y o uth Fellowship, she continues her service also to
that group in their Missionary Education program.
O n e of the co-operative adventures of the W o m e n ’s Boards has been
the preparation and publication of the first units of a series of programs
covering H o m e and Foreign Missions in an endeavor to provide a variety
of program material suited to all types of societies. T h e first five numbers
are off the press; the others will be ready before fall. Those already
published a r e :
Discovering Orientals in the United States— Miss Brickman
Talking Pictures of Japan— Mrs. Sutphen and Miss Weddell
Marked. Trails— Miss B r ickman
L a m p s ' o f India— Mrs. de W o l f e
China’s Gateways— Mrs. Renskers
In connection with the Japan program, because of the special interest
in this year’s text-books on Japan, our Board has published also a playlet
entitled “A s Told by Themselves”, based on “Japanese W o m e n Speak”
(the text book by Miss Michi K a w a i ) and a large sheet of pictures of
“O u r W o r k and W o r k e r s in Japan”. These supplement the leaflets on
Japan prepared by Miss O. H . Lawrence last spring— “Influence of Ferris
Seminary”, “Roof Chapel” and “Life in a Japanese Dormitory”.
Aside from these, the Y e a r B o o k and the popular little N E W S quarterly,
the Board has published no n e w literature this year.
Because the Foreign text book for 1935-36, “W o m e n U n d e r the
Southern Cross”, does not touch our Foreign Mission work, w e are recom
mending to societies for the coming year the intensive study of the above
harmonized programs and Basil M a t h e w ’s “W o r l d Tides in the Far East” ,
a text-book illuminating and enthralling from the Lytton Commission m a p
that serves as frontispiece to the final paragraph on “T h e tides of G o d ”.
T h e merger of The Christian Intelligencer and The Leader in the
weekly Intelligencer-Leader provides a m e d i u m for missionary letters and
articles and news notes on mission work.
Timely additions have been m a d e to our Circulating Library, which w e
should like to see m o r e truly “circulating”. Three charming books from
Japan about Japan have been presented to the library by Miss Florence
W a l v o o r d and Miss Helen Z a n d e r : “Changing Japan, Seen T h r o u g h the
C a m e r a ”, “Japanese Traditions of Christianity”, and “Dolls on Display”.
W e are happy to welcome to our fellowship seven n e w societies of
w o m e n : the Ladies’ Aid of Ripon, Cal.; the K i n g ’s Daughters of M o h a w k ,
N. Y., the Ladies Aid of Conklin, Mich., the Ru t h Society of First Clifton,
N. J. and the auxiliaries of Moddersville, Mich., Ackley, I o w a and Fort
Miller, N. Y. W e are m a d e glad, too, by the ready acceptance by twenty
Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Leagues that have g r o w n to maturer years of our invita
tion to become directly affiliated with the W o m e n ’s Boards as junior
w o m e n ’s auxiliaries: namely,
L. E. N. Service Circle, De l m a r

Fiftieth Anniversaries have been celebrated by the auxiliaries of
Guilderland Center; G r and Haven, M i c h i g a n ; Nutley, N. J.; Elmhurst, N. Y.
There have been especially bright days in our calendar: T h e M a y
Anniversary, w h e n w e enjoyed to the full the hospitality of the Bronxville
C h u r c h ; Ladies’ D a y at General S y nod at G r a n d Rapids, w h e n the M i c h
igan Societies accepted a y o ung life offered to Arabia and sounded out
the call to increased giving which sent Dr. M a r y Bruins to the Mission
Field and will maintain her there for her first five years of service; our
60th Birthday at the Matble Collegiate Church, w h e n our guest speakers
were Dr. Ida Scudder, Mrs. John V a n Ess and Miss T e n a Holkeboer and
our guest singer w a s Miss Y o s k o Saito, a Ferris Seminary graduate, whose
nightingale voice, consecrated to the service of Christ, has w o n for her
the appellation of “the Jenny Lind of Japan”. T h e W o r l d D a y of Prayer
on M a r c h 8th w a s observed m o r e widely, and w e believe m o r e deeply, than
ever before, as the Christian w o m e n “ from the rising of the sun to the
going d o w n of the s a m e ” brought each other’s burdens to H i m whose
kindly yoke lightens the heaviest load.
T h e special promotional devices of the year were “First Fruits”, suc
cessfully carried over from the s u m m e r of 1933, s u m m e r cards and dime
cards and the dedication of shining George Was h i n g t o n quarters during
the Foreign Missions m o n t h of February. W e urge the continuance of
these devices as long as the supply lasts. Valentine boxes for the Sunday
School children on Foreign Missions Sunday, accompanied by letters from
Mrs. Olcott in India and Miss Platz in China, m e t with unusually generous
response, giving evidence that these two “Sun d a y School Missionaries” are
being implanted in the consciousness and the conscience of the Sunday
Schools as their special responsibility.
N o t all promotion, by any means, originates with the Board.
The
W e s tern Advisory Committee planned and the W e s tern Classes carried
through the most inspirational series of fall conferences ever reported to
the Board. T h e Classes of G r a n d Rapids, Holland, M u s k e g o n and Kala
m a z o o experienced the blessing of the “blijmoedigen gever" in volunteering
and securing in full the support of Dr. M a r y Bruins. T h e Classis of
K a l a m a z o o appointed a Classical P r o g r a m Committee which organized a
simultaneous prog r a m for the entire Classis so that all should be considering
the sa m e topics in the sa m e month. Result, a b o m b a r d m e n t of the Board
for materials and enthusiastic meetings throughout the Classis. In April,
leaders from K a l a m a z o o motored to Detroit and with the help of mission
aries conducted an enthusiastic conference in miniature for that outpost of
the Classis.
,
T h e lamented detention of missionaries in this country for lack of funds
to return them to their fields has wor k e d for good to the societies in pro
viding an unusual num b e r of speakers, both east and west. There is little
doubt that their ungrudging use of time and strength in “deputation w o r k ”
has helped to effect the remarkable results reported by the Treasurer today
as follows:
“T h e 1934-35 Budget, originally set at $119,000. w a s of necessity cut
to $107,725.14 to m a k e possible a balanced Budget for the year closing
April 30.
“W e report with thanksgiving a gain in our Budget receipts (including
income from investments) $105,138.94 as against $103,301. of last year.
Included in this am o u n t is a slice ($5,152.41) off our obligation to the
Board of Foreign Missions, also payment in full to the U nion Christian
Colleges of $1250. due M a y 1, 1934.
“T h e total Budget, payments amounting to $107,725.14 were fully bal
anced by appropriating legacies and a special gift.
“N o n e w debt w a s incurred this year, and w e pray the old will grad
ually decrease in the n e w year as w e apply ourselves individually and
collectively to the privilege w e have as m e m b e r s of our Church to support
the work.

Miss B a con adds to her report this appeal: “W o m e n of the Church,
a w a k e 1 This is your year of opportunity for the w o m e n and children of
the Orient, and they must have the message for better living. W e beseech
you to m a k e your project the whole budget'this year, and k n o w those w h o
are serving you at the front.”
(For the full report of the Treasurer see pages 97 to 122).
Special extra contributions have sent Miss Coburn, Dr. Gibbons and
Miss Va n d e r Linden back to their fields and enabled Mr. and Mrs. Stegem a n to return to Japan to take up the w o r k in Ferris Seminary that Dr.
and Mrs. Shafer are obliged to relinquish. Miss O u d e m o o l and Miss V a n derberg as well as Dr. Bruins, the miracle of w hose maintenance was
recognized in last year’s report, have reached their fields. T h e presentation
of a Nursing H o m e at Bahrein by the Standard Oil C o m p a n y of California
is n o w an accomplished fact. Miss O u d e m o o l is resident nurse at this
little infirmary, Dr. Bruins is having her initiation in medical practice and
the Arabic language at Kuwait, and Miss Vanderberg, teaching at H i g h
Clerc School at Kodai Kanal, has been received as an honorary m e m b e r
into the Arcot Mission.
Missionaries detained at h o m e are gradually finding their places in
American life. Rev. and Mrs. George W . L a u g of Japan have been called
to the n e w Indian Mission at M a cy, N e b r a s k a ; Rev. and Mrs. Martin de
W o l f e are being installed today in the Church of Teaneck, N. J. W e
still lament the prolongation of furloughs here, the postponement of fur
loughs f r o m the field, cut salaries, forfeited vacations, withdrawal of sup
port fr o m schools and dispensaries.
W e again implore the w o m e n ’s
societies to continue their contributions in full, regardless of the disposition
m a d e on the field, that the surplus of one m a y m a k e up for the lack of
another. W e again caution the auxiliaries to send their gifts direct to the
W o m a n ’s B o a r d of Foreign Missions that they m a y reach the destination
for which they are intended. A b o v e all, w e entreat their full support of
all the w o r k within the B o a r d ’s budget, however enticing the appeal of
causes outside the budget m a y be. N e w missionaries cannot be sent, ad
vance w o r k cannot be undertaken, while the present workers are under
paid and existing w o r k crippled for lack of adequate support.
There are fights that play upon the shadows of these testing times.
There is an increasing acceptance of responsibility by the Christians on the
field such as impelled the Chinese of A m o y to reconstruct the Girls’ Middle
School building at a cost of $37,000. and the Patrons’ Association of Baiko
Jo Gakuin to present an additional classroom building to the school at a cost
of 13,000 Yen. There is; a spirit of determination that the w o r k shall go
on in spite of handicaps: Bible W o m e n , reduced to half pay, cheerfully
give full time to their w o rk; teachers contribute fr o m their reduced salaries
to the expenses of their ischools; S h e r m a n Memorial Girls’ H i g h School
voluntarily assumes self-support w h e n funds from America fail. Mission
aries of the Arcot Mission and Indian Christians have averted a deficit
for the year by voluntary sacrificial gifts accompanied by prayer.
E v e r ywhere is spiritual awakening. W e are deeply stirred by the report
from Arabia of baptisms, of Christian fellowship, of the first Christian
wedding, of the readiness of inland people to hear the Gospel, of the at
tendance of large numbers of children at Su n d a y Schools, unhindered by
M o s l e m parents; by the ne w s of revival in China and of amazing evangelistic
services in A m o y ; by the confession of Christ and dedication of life to H i m
of scores of our school-girls in Japan. U p o n t h e m hath the Light shined
and the S u n of Righteousness arisen with healing in his wings.
A s Miss V a n D o ren said to the school-girls at Chittoor: “There are
m a n y adversaries . . . but if our hope is in God, and if w e believe that H e
has called us to this work, w e shall be able to meet difficulties with courage
and a smile.” A l w a y s in the darkest hours
“Standeth G o d amid the shadows,
Keeping watch above His own.”

A s w e look back over the past year w e are conscious that it has been
one of great significance and w e would record here briefly those particular
events and trends that have affected us as a Department of Y o u n g W o m e n ’s
W o r k and Missionary Education.
’
I. “Something is happening today”— so begins the first chapter of the
Y o u n g People’s Study book for 1935-36, which chronicles the striking hap
penings a m o n g groups of Christian y o ung people throughout our country
as they set themselves to Build a N e w World. T h e story reads like some
of the chapters in the B o o k of Acts where w e see those first Christian
y o ung people setting out to rebuild the world after the pattern set for them
by their Friend and Master, Jesus Christ. “T h e y are upsetting our world,”
the people cried; and as these young disciples traveled from place to place
in the ancient world the warning w a s sent out to the people in these ex
pressive w o r d s : “T h e y have c o m e w h o are turning the world upside down.”
T o d a y again there is a crusade of youthful disciples w h o are bent on the
task— yes, of turning the; world upside d o w n because they say it is n o w
w r o n g side u p and must be righted. A n d they are doing it today as of old
for Christ’s sake. Thirteen thousand youth representing a larger host of
so m e one hundred thousand have been meeting in Conferences planning
their crusade. H o w is it touching us ? It is putting a n e w and vital spark
into m a n y an existing group of Christian Endeavorers, it is inspiring a n e w
m a n y a League for Service. O n e group recently said, “Y o u see w e ’ve c o m
mitted ourselves to a Christian p r o gram— and it’s going to m e a n things
w e ’ve never before done.”
II. T h e rapid progress of the Y outh Fellowship to include the
majority of the y oung people of our R e f o r m e d Churches is a striking
example in our o w n denomination of this awakening a m o n g young people.
Its p r o g r a m is linked closely with the National Christian Y o u t h program
with an added emphasis on denominational programs and projects for sup
port. T h e M o v e m e n t is essentially missionary in its emphasis and through
it almost $2000. has c o m e into the Mission B o ard treasuries during the year.
III. A very noticeable trend in the past year following a beginning
m a d e last January is seen in the numbers of y o ung people w h o are being
brought into the Councils and Boards of missionary groups. T h e Foreign
Missions Conference and the H o m e Missions Council received as special
delegates y oung people under thirty and gave them real opportunity to
express themselves. In our o w n denomination leaders ‘are being chosen
from our Leagues for actual participation in the Boards’ programs, as m e m
bers, as presiding officers for rallies.
Such a sharing of thought and
ideals of younger and older m e m b e r s of our churches is a promising step
ahead.
IV. During the year a merger of great significance to our department
took place, n a m e l y : the combining of all the educational agencies of the
denomination. B y vote of General S y nod in June of 1934 the Department
of Missionary Education became a part of the Board of Education, which
meant the separating of what has been for five years the combined Depart
ment of Y o u n g W o m e n ’s W o r k and Missionary Education. These five
years, however, have seen progress and growth in both avenues of our
task which seemed to the Mission Boards to call for full-time departments
for both of these important agencies of our missionary task. T h e budget has
been revised with very slight increase and the present staff adjusted with
no increased personnel to m a k e this possible. T h e merger as it is working
out seems to promise real progress in effective and m o r e far-reaching and
unified w o r k in missionary education.
V. W e cannot overlook the increased interest and growth in s u m m e r
conferences. O n e hundred girls attended Northfield last year. Thirty-five
were in attendance at Pine Lodge, eighty-two at Stony Brook, L o n g Island,
and ninety-four at Burden Lake, N. Y. in its first year. T h e contagion
of these conferences has spread to I o w a and Michigan where two n e w
conferences are to be held this s u m m e r taking the place of Pine L o dge
which has had to be discontinued this year. Missionary education is given
a place of prominence in all these programs and no one can estimate the
value to our m o r e than five hundred y o ung people w h o receive each s u m m e r
this specialized type of Christian training.
VI. This year s a w the initiation of W o r l d Service Schools,— a
systematic plan for enrolling Church Schools in a missionary education
p r o gram concerning the w o r k of our o w n church in the Domestic and Foreign
fields. N o one can deny the need of enlisting m o r e of the rank and file
of our church membership in missionary interest and support and this plan
which included program materials, training of leaders, current information,
reading lists and m a n y other forms of missionary education; is already
proving its value in the denomination.
VII. Throughout our church groups there has been very evident as
the year has progressed a slight recovery and increase along m a n y lines.
M o r e n e w Leagues for Service have been organized'this year than in any
recent year,— 25 in all— a m o n g high school age girls,— bringing the total
of Leagues for Service to 400. There has been a consistent effort during
a very difficult year to raise the am o u n t accepted by Leagues for Service
toward the budgets of the W o m e n ’s Boards and the total for the year is
Domestic $7,586.41, Foreign $7,159.89 m a k i n g a total of $14,749.30. O f
this total $13,978.10 m a y be applied on the Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Projects.
There are increasing numbers of requests for books from the Leaders’ Lo a n
Library, m a n y m o r e churches are a w a k e to the possibilities of missionary
education. A s w e note this general tendency toward increased activity,
interest a n d support w e w o uld record the sobering fact that there are
Leagues for Service in only half of our R e f o r m e d Churches, that too small
a proportion of our Church Schools are as yet enrolled in the W o r l d
Service Plan, that the large and encouraging numbers of Christian youth
in crusade are after all a very small minority of A m erican youth that need
to be touched by the Gospel of Christ. W h e n w e read in the words of a
N e w Y o r k Judge, that out of 8,000 prisoners in a certain institution, 4,000
were under twenty-one and only three of the whole group were ever m e m
bers of a Church or Su n d a y school, and w h e n w e r e m e m b e r that vast
n u m b e r of people in our o w n country and in the world w h o are yet
untouched by the message and spirit of Christ, w e are spurred on to tasks
m o r e far-reaching and penetrating than any w e have yet undertaken. W h e n
w e realize the growing lethargy and inaction of Christians in the cause of
the world mission of the Church and the activity without purpose that goes
on in so m a n y organized, Christian groups today, w e k n o w that what w e
have set our hand to is of the utmost importance, and to it— the building
of informed, consecrated, worjd-minded Christians— w e w o uld bring renewed
faith and a steadier purpose, rejoicing in the rare opportunities and the
almost unequaled challenges of the days that lie just ahead.

T H E S E W I N G GUILD
T h e Sewing Guild comes before y ou today with its thirty-eighth Annual
Report. T h e year has been one of happy service and blessed privilege, and
w e united with one of our faithful h o m e societies in their prayer that the
dear Heavenly Father will add His blessing to our w o r k and to our gifts,
and that they m a y assist in winning souls to Christ.
T h e first. “T h a n k Y o u ” letter c a m e from Arabia and w e catch a
glimpse of the pleasure our gifts afford. “After our return to Basrah w h e n
vacation days were over w e found our Guild boxes on the veranda waiting
to be opened. It is always such a pleasure to open them and see the
treasures they contain. I a m so thankful for the m a n y w a r m dresses and
our Guild box dresses could almost be said to be our school uniforms. All
of our girls are of the poorer class and the dresses m a y be an attraction
to get them to school. W e have a problem in keeping th e m in sewing
materials and I would be glad for a big supply of thread, needles, scissors
and material. T h e dolls will rejoice the heart of each child w h o wins one.
T h e picture rolls I needed. T h e n e w blankets are m u c h appreciated, too.
W e are very grateful for these boxes and would not k n o w wh a t to do
without t h e m ! There are so m a n y nice things tucked a w a y in them which
speak to us all of the devotion of the w o m e n in America and I do hope
that next year you will again m a k e sure that this school receives its
Sewing Guild box.”
F r o m another— A n Evangelistic W o r k e r writes:
“M y Guild boxes
arrived safely and I w a s iso happy to receive them. Since I a m the only
one staying here through the s u m m e r I have an advantage over the others
w h o are a w a y vacationing, for I have already had the joy of unpacking
m y boxes and admiring the m a n y treasures hidden a w a y in them. It gives
m e a sense of joy and consolation to have all these lovely w a r m garments
in readiness for the cold weather. There is so little w e can do for our
poor friends and so m u c h w e would like to do that it gives us special cheer
to realize that w e will not have to disappoint them this winter, and that
w e will again be able to supply each one of them with a w a r m garment.
If you were to ask m e what I valued most in the boxes sent to me, I would
answer the flannel garments, quilts and blankets. W e k n o w the w a r m gar
ments have been the m eans of opening doors and hearts where w e trust the
n a m e of Christ will yet become precious, and having received earthly good
at our hands m a y they become willing to listen to heavenly things.”
F r o m one of the hospitals in Arabia comes this message: “Please
accept m y hearty thanks for the wonderful boxes which c a m e this week.
I feel I ought to write on gold leaf or s o m e such precious thing, as just
everything is perfect. W e seemed to get' the things w e especially needed.
O u r bandages and gauze had all but given out, and here were n e w bandages
rolled and ready for use and gauze compresses ready for the sterilizer, and
the sheets, cases, towels, etc., are so welcome. T h e baby garments fill a
real need. N e ver have I appreciated the w o r k of the Sewing Guild as m u c h
as now.
It gives us an inward sense of joy to think that w e have
been able to relieve bodily suffering and to save lives, and above all, in the
midst of busy lives, to point the people to the Great Physician of souls.”
Arabian Babies
W a r m little wraps for babies,
In far off Arabia land;
W h e r e children are born to misery
W i t h no w a r m t h or cheer at hand.
W h ile here in a land of plenty
W e are blessed with wealth untold;
W e can gladly give of our bounty
T o the needy within G o d ’s fold.
W h o k n o w s wh a t m a y be the outcome,
O f a bit from our over supply?
These babes in a dreary desert
M a y so m e day answer the cry.
.
*
S o m e day they m a y do for others,
W h a t w e are n o w doing for t h e m ;
T h e n let us give with tenderness
O f that which w e have to spend.

F r o m India— “T h e Guild box figured very largely in so m a n y of the
events which crowded into our busy Christmas season. I kept thinking of
you through all those days w h e n calls were m a d e on m e to contribute gifts
not only for Christmas, but for other purposes, too. A m o n g others, a poor
old villager with a withered hand, w h o is unable to work, c a m e seeking
s o m e clothing for his t w o daughters. It w a s a real joy to m e to help him
out with a jacket and a petticoat for each daughter and I w a s glad I had
received a Guild box and did not have to disappoint this old man. So, also,
w h e n calls c a m e for the Christmas treat for the w o m e n and children in
the Vellore Jail. Mrs. Cornelius arranges this treat every year and depends
o n clothes w e can give her from the Guild boxes in addition to the private
gifts she received fr o m individuals in America.
A n d then the Vellore
Church and its flock of so m e seven hundred children below ten years of
age were also helped by the contents of the boxes which c a m e to us.
Christ says, ‘T h e poor ye have always with you’, and in India this is
certainly true. H o w the mothers welcome the flannel dresses and squares
to protect little heads and chests during the cold and rainy days, w h e n
bodies which are scantily clothed and poorly nourished feel the cold very
much. Vellore has a large Su n d a y School Rally and a Christian Endeavor
Rally every year, w h e n numerous prizes are given. For these, too, requests
c o m e to us for suitable articles. F o r them the scrap books, pencils, marbles,
rulers, balls and pads are very useful. S o you see your gifts to us did a
world of good, for you m a d e it possible for us to meet the m a n y d e m ands
which are m a d e on a missionary in a big station like ours. W e have m a n y
reasons to be glad that you are so faithfully keeping up the Se w i n g Guild
at h o m e during these years of economic strain. W e are very grateful to you
for ma k i n g it possible for us to brighten the lives of the poorest of the
poor. Y o u will realize, too, that there is every cause for us to hope that
w e shall be remembered by you again this year. W h a t should w e do with
out a Guild b o x !
F r o m a busy doctor .- “T h e hospital supplies c a m e just in time, w h e n
shelves were almost bare. Only the day before the arrival of the boxes one
of the nurses asked me,, ‘D o you think there will c o m e any boxes for us
this year? If not, w e just must get so m e things out here. W e need so much,
and where is the m o n e y ! ’ I answered— Y e s I k n e w of one, for I heard that
one w a s being prepared, and the very next day the railroad receipts ca m e
telling us there were seven for our station! W i t h wh a t joy w e hustled to
get boxes opened and unpacked, and w e were so happy to see so m a n y nice
sheets at one time and the towels, pillow slips, bandages, dressings, hot
water bottles, baby slips and blankets. Everything w a s so welcome.”
“Christmas has c o m e and gone again,” writes another, “and w e once
m o r e had the privilege of m a k i n g it a happy day for s o m e five hundred
children. This year w e gathered all the children in a central place. S o m e
had to walk five miles! M o s t of them were there at 8:20 A. M . W e
started the day with races of all kinds. T h e n c a m e the prog r a m arranged
by our pastor and then c a m e the feeding of the five hundred. I fear there
w a s n ’t a c r u m b of rice left. W e gave them all the rice and curry they
could eat. M a n y had not seen rice for months. After all were satisfied
they were called by villages. F r o m these the very poorest were selected
and given clothes, the others a toy, a ball, pencil, marbles, and a chosen few
a doll. T h e day ended with a handful of puffed rice mixed with b r o w n
sugar for each child— a real red-letter day in their empty little lives.
Please do not forget us next year. M a n y letters have c o m e from the h o m e
folk telling of increased interest in the w o r k and of joy in this service done
in the Master’s name.”
In bringing this report to a close I should like to take this opportunity
to express m y thanks a n d appreciation to the m a n y w h o have helped to
m a k e this year such a successful one. A s w e pledge a n e w our material
help to the growing needs of the work, let us pledge to those w o m e n and
children even greater things— Deeper interest in their welfare, greater love
for their souls and m o r e earnest prayer that they m a y be brought to the
knowledge and love of Christ our Saviour.
“In this little while, does it matter,
A s w e w o r k and w e watch and w e wait,
If w e ’re filling the place H e assigns us,
B e it service small or great?”

THE BABY ROLL
W e are glad to report a small increase in the membership of the B a b y
Roll over last year. A m o n g the 205 babies enrolled are t w o pairs of twins,
and one missionary baby, N o r m a n Wells T h o m s , son of Dr. and Mrs.
W . W . T h o m s of the Arabian Mission.
'
Let us not forget the H o m e s in A m o y , China and Vellore, India,
which are supported by our B a b y Roll, where the children learn to k n o w
and love Jesus.
“A n angel paused in its o n w a r d flight
W i t h a seed of love and truth and light,
'
A n d cried ‘Oh, where can this seed be sown,
That it will be most fruitful w h e n it is g r o w n ? ’
T h e Saviour heard, and said as H e smiled
‘Place it for M e in the heart of a child.’ ”
M a y m o r e of us s o w these seeds in the hearts of the dear children
here and in the lands beyond, so that the little ones m a y learn in their
youth to love and serve the dear Saviour and g r o w up to be witnesses for
H i m w h o said:
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have
done it unto M e . ”
