FORTY-SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.
T h e Forty-Seventh Anniversary o f the Missionary Society o f
the Methodist Episcopal Church was held in Baltimore, Jan
uary 14, 15, 1866. W e are indebted to the Christian Advo
cate for the following report of the services. It was prepared
by the Rev. W . H. D u P u y, assistant editor.
W e take great pleasure in acknowledging the very valuable
services o f the local Committee o f Arrangements in Baltimore,
and particularly o f its chairman, Rev. J. A . M ’ C a u l e y , in
preparing the programmes o f the services, and superintending
the execution o f the same.
SABBATH SERVICES.
The Sabbath services in the various churches of the city were
preliminary to those o f Monday, when the anniversary proper
was held. The collections taken by the congregations were
larger than those o f previous years. Our reports are necessa
rily condensed.
C a r o l in e -stre et C h u r c h .— A t 11 o’clock A . M. Bishop
Janes occupied the pulpit, and in an eloquent address spoke
of the foundation of the Missionary Society as connected with
the Methodist Episcopal Church, the great success which had
attended it, and the glorious field o f operation now open for
missions.
In the afternoon the Sunday-School Missionary Anniversary
of the Church was held, and interesting addresses delivered by
Bishop J a n e s , Rev. Dr. S l ic e r , and Rev. J a m e s C u r n s .
In the evening the Rev. Dr. B u t l e r , late o f India, delivered
an address upon the progress of the missionary cause in that
country, interspersing his remarks with the relation of numer
ous incidents, o f his career there as a laborer in the cause o f
missions.

FORTY-SEVENTH A N N IV E R SA R Y .
C h a r l e s -s tre et C h u r c h .— In the morning Rev. Dr. Thomas
S e w a l l (in place o f Rev. Dr. Durbin, who was ill) delivered an
eloquent sermon, in which he endeavored to prove that the
principle which underlies the kingdom of Jesus Christ is not
human but divine, that the implanting of this principle in the
human heart and soul is the joint labor of God and man, and
that it will grow and expand until it shall fill the earth as the
waters cover the sea.
T h e Sunday-school Anniversary came off in the afternoon.
■Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. T r im b l e , and interesting ad
dresses delivered by Hon. J a m e s H a r l a n , Secretary of the
Interior, and Rev. Dr. D ic k s o n , of the Presbyterian Church.
The missionary contributions o f the Sunday-school were five
hundred dollars. In the evening Rev. Dr. F oster , o f New Tork,
preached an able missionary discourse to a crowded and inter
ested audience.

th e education o f ten C hinese girls.
H ig h -s tre et C h u r c h .— Rev. Dr. B u t l e r occupied the pul
pit in the morning, and gave a very interesting account o f the
manner in which the Gospel is preached in India, o f the diffi
culties in the way, and o f the successes which attend the work.
Several affecting incidents attending Hindoo conversions were
mentioned.
In the evening the Sunday-school Missionary Meeting was
held, and appropriate and earnest addresses were delivered by
Bishops A m bs and J a n e s , and General M a n n . The collec
tions o f the day amounted to about one thousand dollars.
M a d is o n A y e n u e C h u r c h .— The morning service was con

H a r f o r d A y e n u e C h u r c h .— The Ladies’ China Mission
ary Society held its eighteenth anniversary in this church at
eleven A . M. A n interesting discourse was preached by Rev.
0 . H . G ib so n of the China Mission. A t half past two o’clock
the anniversary o f the Sunday-School Missionary Society was
held, when appropriate addresses were delivered by Rev. O. H .
G ibson and Rev. I. H . T o r r e n c e . These addresses were par
ticularly interesting, and elicited marked attention from the
large number o f children in attendance. A t seven P. M. the
Rev. I. H . T o r r e n c e , Secretary of the Pennsylvania State
Bible Society, delivered an appropriate discourse.
M o n u m e n t -s t r e e t C h u r c h . — The sermon in the morning
and in the evening also was by Rev. W . F. W a t k in s , o f
Brooklyn. Judging from the results o f the missionary collec
tions and contributions, the services were appropriate and
effective. The collections were quite in advance of last year.
We are particularly indebted to Brother Watkins, because he
cheerfully answered the call o f the committee made on him at
a late hour, owing to a necessity.
16
SECOND D A Y-M O N D A Y.
The anniversary proper took place to-day. Immense audi
ences were in attendance. The morning services were held in
the Charles-street Church. Hon. James Harlan, Secretary o f the
Interior, presided. Rev. Dr. NT. J. B. Morgan led in prayer.
R E M A R K S OF H O N . M R. H A R L A N .
Mr. Harlan briefly and pertinently addressed the audience,
calling attention to the sublime purpose of the Church in the
establishment o f Christian missions, and congratulating the
Methodist Church in particular on the position which she now
occupies, standing at the threshold o f the second century of
her history. Christians are the best citizens. They have the
promise o f the present as well as the future life. Christain na
tions advance much more rapidly than others in the attain
ment o f wealth, intelligence, and power. I f there were no in
ner recognition o f God, no personal religious experience,
society would be the gainer by the introduction of Christian
ity. But there is an inner life ; personal experience is real.
The speaker rejoiced in it, and in affecting and eloquent terms
referred to his convictions o f its truthfulness.
A D D R E SS OF R E V . D R . B U T L E R .
Rev. Dr. Butler, late superintendent o f our missions in India,
was the next speaker. He stated in eloquent terms that the
hope o f the heathen is in the present efforts o f the Church.
The past, marked by neglect of duty, cannot be recalled; but,
warned by it, we can now take hold o f the work, and spread
the knowledge and grace o f God among the nations o f the
earth. Twelve years ago the authorities of the Methodist
Episcopal Church resolved to establish missions in Bulgaria and
India. Two years later, in 1855, he offered himself for the
work. By his instructions, issued by Bishop Simpson, he was
to select a mission field then unoccupied. H e was to pass be
yond the bounds o f civilization, and enter a region in which
Christ had never been named. His field was to be wide
enough for a large mission. He was to aim at laying deep and
broad the foundations o f Methodism in India.
The great river o f India is the Ganges. It is a goddess. It
flows from the great Himmalayas, running about a hundred
17
miles in a southerly direction, and then bending to the east
ward toward Calcutta, finally discharges its waters into the sea.
On the east bank is the city o f Allahabad, and there our mis
sion field commences, extending thence to where the Ganges
issues from the Himmalayas, a territory four hundred miles in
length, and with an average breadth of probably one hundred
and fifty miles, composing a domain equal to the surface of
England, and containing fourteen and a half millions of human
beings. That great field has been open to our Church, and
looks to her only for the word of life.
On the banks of the Ganges, the holy river, are the shrines
of the deities, in the presence o f which the millions of India
have for forty centuries offered their worship. What the Cross
is to the Christian, the Ganges is to the Hindoo. Hundreds of
thousands will gather near a single shrine along the banks of
the river, and at a given signal plunge with a shout into the
current that they may wash away their sins ! With these thou
sands the missionaries now come, and preach' to them the Gos
pel of Christ.
The work has greatly prospered. W e have now twenty-two
missionaries in that country, three o f whom are natives. A
mission press has been established; the Bible is printed; tracts,
hymns, the catechism, and some of Wesley’s sermons, are there
issued in form for the people.
AD D R E SS OF R E V . R . S. F O STER , D . D .
Rev. Dr. Foster delivered the next address. His words
were earnest, practical, and fell with telling effect upon the
immense assembly present. He spoke o f Christianity as a sys
tem designed to save lost men now. The salvation of the Gos
pel is for the world now. God wants the world converted to
day. The Church must grasp this great idea, and be mov.ed
by its inspiration. The world needs a ministry and a church
consecrated to one work, that o f saving souls. Our consecra
tion must be complete, not partial; it must include our money,
time, labor, our whole being. W e regret that our space for
bids our giving the powerful address o f Dr. Foster in full..

Rev. Dr. Durbin was to be the next speaker, but was pre
vented by illness from attending the meeting. Rev. Dr. HarMi**iornry Rtuoit.

ris then introduced Rev. Otis Gibson, late of the China mission,
who made a brief and pertinent address, describing the condi
tion and importance o f the work in China. That whole coun
try, sealed against us until recently, is now open for the intro
duction o f Christianity. Our printing press there is sending
out tracts and portions o f the Bible in great numbers. The
Bible is now being used as a text-book in the schools. The
Chinese do not like the English, French, or Spanish; they ask
for the Gospel at the hands o f American citizens.
AFTER N O O N —CHILDREN’S M EETING.
The grand missionary union o f the Baltimore M. E. Sundayschools was held at two P. M., in the hall of the Maryland In
stitute. Long before the hour designated long lines of children,
under the direction o f their teachers, were seen directed toward
the hall. The crowd, both inside and outside, was immense.
It was estimated that six thousand children and adults were
within and about the hall. Nearly as many more were com
pelled to congregate elsewhere for their services. Rev. Isaac
P . Cook, o f Baltimore, presided. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr. Harden, and interesting addresses made by Rev. W. F.
Watkins, o f Brooklyn, and Rev. Dr. Harris. The crowd, how
ever, was too great either for the comfort or instruction of the
•children.
There were two other meetings extemporized, in order to ac
commodate the crowds who could not be accommodated at the
Institute, at Caroline-street and Charles-street Churches. At
the former, spirited addresses were made by Rev. Richard Nor
ris and Mr. W . H. P ierce; at the latter Rev. Dr. Sewall pre
sided, and interesting speeches were made by Rev. Dr. Trim
ble, Missionary Secretary, and Rev. Mr. Dandy, o f Kentucky.
The children’s missionary union was a grand affair, and will
not be forgotten by Sunday-schools o f Baltimore.
EVEN IN G SERVICES.
The evening services were held in the Charles-street Church.
Hon. John Evans, late Governor and now Senator elect of Col
orado, presided. The addresses were by Bishops Kingsley,
Janes, and Simpson, and were o f a high order, appropriate, and
opportune. Never was an audience more intensely interested.
FORTY-SEVENTH AN N IV E R SA R Y .

B ISH O P K IN G S L E Y ’ S A D D R E SS .
Bishop Kingsley presented a graphic description of the re
gion now traversed by our ministers of the California, Oregon,
Nevada, and Rocky Mountain Conferences, and gave a glow
ing account of the rapid growth o f the cities and towns in that
territory. The soil, climate, and productions are wonderfully
inviting. The people from all parts of the world are attracted
there. A ll nationalities are represented. The future of that
country is full of promise. The completion of the Pacific Rail
road will note the most important o f commercial events. The
growth o f the population and business of that section of our
country will be rapid beyond calculation. There is power in
the Gospel o f Christ to leaven and mould these masses o f peo
ple. Brave men are needed for the work. In the presence o f
Christian heroes all difficulties vanish.
B ISH O P J A N E S ’S A D D R E SS.
Bishop Janes described in clear and fitting terms our mission
in Northwestern Europe, embracing Germany, Switzerland,
Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. In that land Gustav-us Adol
phus maintained and triumphantly terminated a thirty years’
war for religious liberty. There Luther struggled against the
crushing errors o f Romanism. Did not a star rise there which
went before Wesley and brought him to the Saviour? Our
Church was needed there, and is needed still.
Said the bishop:
W e have there four thousand six hundred and sixteen communi
cants, eighty-two Sunday-schools, four hundred officers and teach
ers, and four thousand scholars ; sixty thousand volumes of relig
ious books have been disseminated there, and six million of
tracts ; they have three periodicals. The circulation of this litera
ture must make an impression upon the minds and hearts of that
region. In Scandinavia (Denmai'k, Norway, and Sweden) we have
fifteen missionaries, five local preachers, and two colporteurs. In
Copenhagen is found the most beautiful Methodist church, I think,
in the world. W e do not expect to send any more missionaries to
Germany, although a few may still be sent to Scandinavia. We
have in Germany a mission school to educate converted young
men for the ministry. W e could now draw from this mission
well qualified candidates for the service anywhere in the world.
20
FO RTY-SEVEN TH A N N IV E R SA R Y .
The bishop closed his interesting address' by commending
the missions in those sections to the continued confidence of
the Church.
BISHOP SIMPSON’ S ADDRESS.
Bishop Simpson made the closing address, and in his charac
teristic style. H e referred to the events now transpiring, and
called special attention to the work o f the new year now open
ing. Important Christian centers have been established in
Asia, Africa, and EuropeSaid the bishop:
As I have looked at our country, and seen what the Churches
are doing, it seems to me we shall soon have crowding our land
men of every tongue. As the race is gathering here, I see the day
of Pentecost coming; not in Asia, not in Europe, not in Africa,
but in our own land, when men shall be converted, not by the
thousands, but by the hundreds of thousands. If we carry out our
plans, missionaries and missionary stations shall dot all lands upon
the face o f the globe. We are certainly living in a great age.
Shall we do our duty? Christ is with us. A missionary never
goes alone. Christ watches every contribution. The duty of the
Church, while it furnishes contributions and missionaries, is to be
in the attitude of prayer, until all nations shall flow into the Mount
of Zion.
A t the close o f the bishop’s address the benediction was pro
nounced, and the audience dispersed. Thus ended one o f the
most interesting missionary anniversaries ever held in this
country.

Rev. F . A . Spencer and Rev. S. S. Weatherly bad not
arrived in India when this report was made up, and we
may not have assigned them to their proper work. They
will receive their appointments at the next session o f their
conference in February. Rev. Dr. Butler having finished,
with marked success, the work which he went to India to
do, is retransferred to his own New England Conference.
In the above lists there are nineteen ordained ministers,
ten assistant male missionaries, and nineteen exhorters.
In the above lists the ladies in the mission are not reckoned.
In some o f our missions we justly call them assistcmt mission
aries.
Including the ladies in the mission, there is a working force
o f sixty-six, as explained above.
The following are the reports o f the presiding elder and
missionaries on the Bareilly D istrict:
D e a b B e o t h e e , —The accompanying reports of the various
stations of the Bareilly District, India Mission Conference, for
1 8 6 5 , speak for themselves.
I have chosen to send them for
ward in their integrity, believing it to be more democratic, more
satisfactory to the brethren, and better calculated to give the
friends of our mission at home a clearer insight into the plans
and operations, the difficulties and the successes of our work
here, that they in turn may the better be prepared to pray for
and otherwise aid us. I only wish to add a few words, as occa
sion may suggest; the reports themselves, being quite compre
hensive and full of interest, need no additional remarks from me.
IS T y n e e T a l S t a t i o n . —At the time the call for an Annual
Report from each Station was made Brother Baume was danger
ously ill, and unable for several weeks to respond to the call.
Consequently no regular report appears from Nynee Tal.
I may say, however, that the character of the work connected
with this station has not materially changed from that repre
sented in former reports. Being a Hill Station, our Mission San

itarium, a large European population visits it each hot season,
from April till October. During these months our chapel is filled,
sometimes to overflowing, at the Sabbath evening service; and
the past year the attendance and interest have been very great.
Those friends who attend our English service give liberally
toward aiding our mission work, as may be seen from the inclosed
list of donors and subscribers.
Hindustani preaching, and a very interesting Sabbath-school,
are also conducted each Sabbath in the Mission Chapel.
The schools in connection with this station are the most hope
ful feature of the Hindustani work.
Of these there are now
three, all supplied with good houses, and are kept up in the hills
during the hot season ; but during the fall and winter remove to
the plains below, along with the population, whither the mission
ary, too, must follow with his staff of teachers in order to keep
up the organization, and also to get access to the people for pur
poses of preaching and distribution of the Scriptures. This mi
gratory character of the Hindustani work makes Nynee Tal a
less desirable, and perhaps a less hopeful station than many
others. And it has many features of real and permanent interest.
During the past year Brother Baume has occupied much of his
time in preparing one or two works especially adapted to the
wants of our native brethren, our local preachers and exhorters.
He has also written quite a large number of Hindustani .hymns,
for the second edition of our Mission Hymn Book. This, with
his English and Hindustani work, and his oversight of the new
Sanitarium building, has fully occupied his time. This building,
which when completed will be a very comfortable and convenient
one, it is hoped may be ready for occupancy by the next hot season.
B u d a o n S t a t i o n . —Brother Scott has a very interesting field of
labor, in which are brought to bear the principal agencies for the
extension of Christ’s kingdom: the preaching of the word and
the distribution of the same, in the chapel and in the bazaar; the
itinerating tour to the remotest villages ; the establishment and
oversight of schools, and the daily converse with inquirers, sincere
and insincere. This is one of our most hopeful fields.; and Brother
Scott does not overstate in the slightest the real interests of the
work.

o f special note lias marked the Budaon work during the past
year. Hence this report can do nothing more than detail in a
general way the even progress and moderate success of the vari
ous efforts and agencies on foot in this part of our mission field. It
is cause of thankfulness that everything has gone forward, though
it may have been but slowly.
The Native Church has slightly increased in membership.
Also, a few names have been added to the list of probationers.
The usual means of grace, as prayer and class meetings, with the
public services of the Sabbath, have been regularly kept up. A
steadier and healthier tone pervades the little native Church,
showing some growth. I have arrived at the intellectual improve
ment of the native Christians by establishing a reading class for
them, and furnishing suoh books and tracts as might be more
useful, with a copy of the JDiair Khioah i S in d and Lok Mitz,
two Hindustani Christian newspapers. The Sabbath congregation
has increased some in size, and this is regarded as an indication
o f a slowly growing interest in the public worship of our little
chapel. A Sabbath-school has been kept up regularly during the
year, with an increasing attendance. A leading interest of the
Sabbath-schools is a Bible class, attended by several persons not
Christians, who seem to be reading the Scriptures with some care.
B a z a a r P r e a c h i n g . —An effort has been made to keep up
preaching, with some degree of regularity, in the Budaon Bazaar
during the whole year. On an average the bazaar has been
visited twice a week with the message of life, at which time
tracts arid Scriptures have been offered to hearers for a small
price. Unrelenting, hostility or stolid indifference was almost
uniformly encountered.
During part of the months of April and May thousands of
opium cultivators were assembled at Budaon, having brought in
their opium to the government agent. Preaching, and the dis
tribution of Scriptures and tracts, were kept up among them daily
for nearly a month. In this way the Gospel was preached to
perhaps fifteen thousand persons. A number of tracts and single
gospels were also sold.
Preaching to these cultivators was preaching to the people of
many hundred villages, and the opportunity, which occurs annu
ally, is a rare one.
Itinerating— Several itinerating tours were made during the
last oold season in company with the native helpers working at
Budaon.. In all quite a number of villages were visited, some

of them for the first time. The plan adopted was not to attempt
<roing over much ground, but >to delay some time in each place.
Camp was located at some central point, from which place preach
ing, and the distribution of Scriptures and tracts, was carried on
in the surrounding villages. But little opposition was met; but
a great deal of lamentable ignorance was found. The want of
opposition may have been generally owing to ignorance of our
aim and of the object of Christianity, as an enemy to idolatry. In
looking for the results of our preaching the Gospel in the Budaon
Bazaar and surrounding district, I do not find them so much in
actual accessions to the Church, or in numbers of inquirers, as in
a gradual and general enlightenment of the people in the facts
and truths of Christianity. Little by little the people are learn
ing what Christianity is, and what it proposes to do for them.
Thus the way for the reception of Christianity seems to be open
ing up, while our preaching is “ as the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, and make straight his
paths.”
Latterly friendly visits at the mission house from natives have
been much more frequent. Some have come as inquirers in re
ligion, others to see the missionary merely. Several have made
application for schools in their villages. Upon the whole,, while
there has been much opposition to Christianity on the part of
some, there is less fear of it, and a greater desire to understand
it, on the part of others.
Inquirers.—Among the number of persons who presented them
selves as inquirers during the year, a few have proved sincere as
far as we are able to judge. One, “ the old fakeer,” received
baptism, and is strikingly punctual in attendance on the public
means of grace, and most devoted in reading the Scriptures. A
fakeer attracted away by the story of the cross from his haunt
in the jungle, where he had remained in severest asceticism for
nearly forty years, to learn to read at upward of sixty years of
age, and to embrace Christianity with all the devotion and enthu
siasm of youth, is an incident but rarely met in mission life. This
old man is anxious to do good. He chose as his Christian name,
Paul, having admired very much the character of the great
apostle to the Gentiles. He loves to urge the claims of Chris
tianity upon his countrymen still in darkness. I have hope that
he may be useful in the Budaon work, as he formerly exercised an
influence over many people. Three other inquirers are now
willing to receive baptism, but their cases are delayed, that they
26
[1866.
may be fully prepared to assume the Christian n.ime with firm
faith and changed hearts. One is a zemindar, or land proprietor,
who has manifested a most praiseworthy resolution to become a
Christian in the face of opposition from friends. He has also
shown a deep interest in the salvation of his fellow-villagers.
This has been one o f the most satisfactory marks of a true change
in his heart.
Other inquirers presented themselves from time to time, some
of whom were drawn away by friends, while others were found
to be prompted by wrong motives. Still a careful effort was
made to lead all into the way of life.
Colportage.—In the latter part of the year an effort was made
to establish a regular system of colportage in Budaon District,
with a view to carrying Scriptures, religious tracts, and books
into all the towns and villages where readers might be found.
On application, Scriptures and tracts to the amount of six hundred
and fifty rupees were granted by the North India Tract Society
and the North India Bible Society.
W e propose putting a copy of the New Testament in Hindi
or Urdu into the hands of every school teacher in the district.
Already some fifty schools have been visited, and a copy of the
New Testament given to each teacher. With the exception of
one, a Mussulman teacher, all received the book gladly. Other
books and tracts were offered for sale; giving away is made the
exception. As the people gradually find out now that our design
is to sell, they show more willingness to buy. But a small price
is asked that all may be able to purchase. Some copies of
Scriptures, with a quantity of books and tracts, have been placed
at several points, as small depositories, more accessible to those
for whom they are intended. Some were placed in the Dispen
sary at Budaon, others in the government school and in the mis
sion schools. In this way an effort is made to put them more
completely in the reach, and bring them fully under the notice
o f those who may take them. It is my firm conviction, from such
observation as I have been able to make, that this will be one
o f our most efficient means of spreading Christian truth when
faithfully and systematically carried on.
Schools.—During the past year this department of labor has
been considerably enlarged. Instead of two, we now have seven
schools. Three of these are kept up in Budaon, one of which
is for low^caste girls, with an encouraging attendance. A small
school is kept up in the mission compound. The others are

in villages. Distrust of the missionary and fear of innovation were
so far overcome, that several applications were made for other
schools during the year, but, through want of funds, they could
not be considered.
As a hopeful kind of mission effort, I have been led to look
upon the careful management o f schools as most important. The
establishment of a school in a village secures an introduction for,
and attention to, the missionary, in a manner hardly acquired in
any other way. Then an opportunity is afforded, as often as he
may be able to improve it, of seeking to make impressions on
the impressible mind of youth. It is gratifying to see how, in
some of these schools, pupils are becoming acquainted with the
facts and principles of Christianity. W e may indulge the hope
that some o f them may yet become “ wise unto salvation.”
I may close this report by saying that, with not much dis
couragement, the Budaon Mission has presented considerable
encouragement during the past year.
I remain, dear brother, your fellow-laborer in the Lord,
I. J. Scott.
N ynee T a l, July 2 8, 1 86 5.
S h a h j e h a n p o b e S t a t i o n " . —The non-arrival of Brother Stivers
or his substitute has greatly crippled our operations in this
station, and has thrown upon Brother Johnson, for a good part
of the year, the labor o f two men. With the orphanage to
superintend, the oversight of the large city school, and the
general interests of the station, Brother Johnson has had the care
of some ten thousand rupees’ worth of building on his hands;
and all this, too, during a very trying season, and with health
not the most robust. Yet all these interests have received a
good share of attention, some of them constant care, and the
report itself gives a fair if not full exhibit of the operations of
the station. Until another missionary arrives, however, both the
work and the brother now in charge must necessarily suffer, as
no one man can do all that ought to be done.
In those stations where there are one or more extra or special
interests, as an orphanage, or the press, the number of men re
quired may seem out of proportion with that of other stations.
But each of these special interests, if properly cared for, must
well-nigh exhaust the labors of one man. The interest felt by
all, both here and at home, in the work of this station, in which
our Boys’ Orphanage, with all its precious hopes and interests, is
28

located, is exceeded by that felt in no other part of our work.
On the arrival o f a second man, we shall look for a still more
advanced and interesting state o f mission operations in Shahjehanpore.
P. E. B a r e i l l y D i s t r i c t :
work of this station has gone on pretty
nearly as usual during the past year. The removal of Brother
Brown to Seetapore, and his place, as yet, not having been sup
plied, has made the latter half of the year very laborious, and it
has been impossible to do all that should have been done.
Our Sabbath services consist of preaching and Sunday school in
the morning, and prayer and class-meeting in the evening. The
congregation is principally composed of the boys belonging to the
orphanage, and the native preachers and teachers, together with
their families. But few others attend. The congregation numbers
about one hundred. There are twenty-four Church members and
eighteen probationers.
Preaching in the city and surrounding villages has been carried
on regularly, at the rate of from four to five times per week; and
though there have been no real inquirers, we feel somewhat
encouraged from the fact that the crowds or pongregations arc
much larger and also much more attentive. Itinerating through
the district has been limited to short journeys on account of our
school duties, with the exception of a trip or two, by Brother
Brown, in the forepart o f the cold season. The interest in the vil
lages appears to be much greater than in the city, and it is very evi
dent that there should be much more done for the villages than we are
able to do at present. W e have organized a monthly official meet
ing, in which written reports are submitted, giving the number of
sermons preached, names of places, texts, number of hearers, and
attention, together with any other items of interest. The minutes
of these meetings, together with the reports, are all placed on
permanent record.
A ziyaXt lias been erected in the city, but remains unplastered
for want of funds. The location proves to be a very good one, as
we always find large and attentive congregations there.
T h e C i t y S c h o o l . — I n the latter part of the last year the govern
ment grant in aid, was reduced from eighty to fifty rupees per
mensum. This, together with other opposition, reduced the school
very much. The government grant in aid remains the same, but
the finances otherwise have been increased a little, and the school
is improving. The recent half-yearly examination was quite cred

itable. This school, if properly supported, is one of the most
promising parts of our work. There are more than one hundred
children and youth, who, in addition to their other studies, read daily
the word of God, and listen attentively to religious instruction
from week to week. But in order that the school may be properly
sustained, it must soon have a more liberal and substantial basis.
T h e B o y s ’ O r p h a n a g e . — The past year has been one of some
prosperity to the orphanage. The most of the boys appear to be
more interested in their studies, and several of them have made
marked improvement in the same. About the middle of the year
there prevailed for some time quite an increased religious influence.
Several testified to having received the witness of their acceptance
with G od; and six manifested a desire to prepare as speedily as
possible, to tell the story of the Cross to their countrymen. This
good work has made a manifest change in the deportment of many
of the boys, and in every way given us much encouragement for
the future of the institution. The number now belonging to the
orphanage is eighty five, this includes eight who are at present in
a village school near Moradabad, but supported from here, and
will soon come here. There have been three deaths within the
year, and one of the victims was one of the very best and most
promising of the boys—William Wheeler. He was one of the first
received into the institution, was about eighteen years of age, a
boy of fine appearance, good intellect, industrious habits, good
character, and what was better than all, he had a well-grounded
hope in Christ, and triumphed gloriously over death. W e all
looked to him as one promising much for the future; but He who
is “ too wise to err and too good to be unkind ” ordered according
to his own will. There are nine of the boys members of the
Church, and seventeen who are on probation. W e have removed
to our new location, and find it admiraby adapted for the purposes
of the orphanage. W e are free from the city, and also from the
military regulations which were so intolerable in the old location.
Thi3 is a most beautiful and healthy site, with sufficient ground
for cultivation, etc. The boys have commenced working in their
little fields or gardens, and are much interested. Two of them
have learned the trade of shoemakers, and four more are now
learning. Also, seven of them are learning the tailors’ trade, and
are already able to do pretty good work. Thus the boys have
mental and, to some extent, manual labor both for each day,
which we consider necessary to keep them from idleness and
crime, and also to keep them healthy.
Most of the boys’ dwelling houses, and the houses for the native

preachers and teachers, have been built, and the large school-house
is being erected, which we hope to have done in the month of
November next. This house is sixty-six feet long by sixty-five
wide. The middle room, which is to be our chapel, is forty-eight
feet long and twenty-four wide, with open space in the rear, while
on either side are three good-sized recitation rooms. This build
ing will cost, when completed, about 6,000 rupees, while the boys’
and teachers’ houses, and wall o f inclosure, will cost nearly 4,000
rupees; so that the whole cost of the enterprise will not fall far
short of 10,000 rupees— $5,000.
In closing this report I desire to say, that the sustaining grace
of God, our heavenly Father, has been graciously granted unto us,
to whose excellent name be honor and glory for evermore.

B a r e i l l y S t a t i o n . —Brother Gracey has so clearly described
the general interests of the work in this central station that I
need only refer to the two special departments unnoticed by him;
namely, the Girls’ Orphanage and the press.
Since Brother G.’s arrival in Bareilly, in January last, an unpre
cedented amount of bazar preaching, itinerating, and visiting of
schools has been accomplished. And the work shows signs of life
and power. There is still room here for more laborers, so extens
ive is the field, and so multiplied the interests.
To
P. E. B a r e i l l y D i s t r i c t .
making the annual report of this station, I
can do so from personal acquaintance with it only since January
last, and solicit, therefore, that you will append what I offer to a
report o f your own as preacher in charge during the former part
of this current year. I thus leave you to report on the neat com
modious chapel which you rebuilt, after a greatly improved plan,
in the Suddar Bazar; and which so handsomely subserves the
purposes of our school in that locality. The Girls’ Orphanage and
press will be reported on by those having charge of them respect
ively.
Suddar Bazar School— Of the school in the Suddar Bazar
I report, that it continues about as when you made it over to me.
The migratory character of the population for whose benefit it is
projected, prohibits its development as an educational enterprise.
Yet as there is a goodly attendance, and most of the students read
the Scriptures in the vernacular, which has been explained to them

by one of the native helpers on two days of each week, we cannot
but be assured that with the scattering o f these native regiments
stationed here from time to time, to which or to the bazars of
which the children o f this school are mainly attached, there must
needs be a dissemination of divine truth that cannot fail of ultimate
effect on a multitude of minds.
City School.—The school which you had the honor to originate
in the old city last August, though not materially developed since
it came into my care, is yet a hopeful enterprise. In numbers and
in tone it is in good case; while in May last the Indian Govern
ment was pleased to make a grant, in compliance with your appli
cation, of thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents per month for the
current expenses, and seven hundred and fifty dollars to aid in the
erection of suitable buildings for the school. Though now not
imposing as an enterprise, because in a transitional state, yet it
may be made a commanding enterprise in a comparatively short
time. And at a period when the most learned and scientific mind
of the world is turned as never before to childhood, we feel amid
the wrinkled wickedness about us the overwhelming claims that
heathen childhood has upon missionary care and plans and prayer,
and schools like this are missions to the childhood of India. I
should be pleased if you could find a place to plead that the policy
o f the mission and the Church may afford them a fuller regard in
the appropriations.
Zyatt.—In the city, on a lot secured some time since, I have
just completed, ready for occupancy, a building which, borrowing
a Burman name, is known as a zyatt. It consists of one large
audience room, and is designed as a place of interview with any
persons who may desire it, as well as of conversational discussion
after preaching with those who may be disposed to controvert our
teaching. It will also serve as a depository and center of circula
tion for our books.
Bazar Breaching.—The point at which the zyat has been
erected has been one of our regular bazar preaching places during
the year, the other two principal places being Shahamal Gunge
and Inglis Gunge. At these points preaching has continued
statedly, not less frequently than three times, and up to .the
extremely hot weather six times per week, two or three addresses
being generally made on each occasion by the missionaries and
native helpers. A large number of tracts and Gospels have been
donated and sold during these bazar visitations.
Breaching, Class-meeting, etc., in the Station Chapel.—The
regular preaching on Sabbath mornings and evenings in the chapel
32
[1 8 6 6 .
has been continued. The Sunday school has been interesting, and
the Church classes fairly attended. Some of the orphan girls who
were non-communicants at the first quarterly meeting for the year
sent me a most touching and appropriate petition, setting forth
their spiritual desires, and asking to be admitted to the sacrament
o f the Lord’s Supper on that occasion.
Itinerations.—From about the middle of January to the middle
o f March we were in tents, and mainly at good points in the dis
trict, aided by yourself as opportunity allowed you to intercept us,
and our newly ordained brother, Joel T. Janvier, in preaching the
Gospel and distributing the Scriptures and tracts. W e encamped
first at Hafiz Gunge and then at Nawab Gung, in the direction of
Pilleebheet, and stayed sufficiently long at each place to visit all and
l’evisit many of the villages within a large radius of these places,
while Mrs. Waugh and Mrs. Gracey were enabled to collect
unusually large numbers of women about the tent from time to
time for instruction in the truth, and in some cases had access to
their houses by invitation. A subsequent tour was made toward
Shahjebanpore, our encampment being at Furreedpoor. Large
crowds listened attentively to the preaching. Leading men invited
us into their houses, where followed long conversations in the
presence of large crowds, with the religiously learned men of the
community. I felt the need of a native helper, but it was not prac
ticable to secure one at that time. Many of the people visited
and revisited our tent for conversation and for books and tracts.
Thus, however feebly, we have aimed to make use of a variety
of agencies, the law of missionary labor being that of nature itself,
“ Constancy in type, variety in modification.” W e do see resulta
in the form o f inquirers after truth, though they be yet “ far from
the kingdom.” May God give us to see the “ good beginnings
grow.” Respectfully submitted.

had within a few months past prepared two reports of the orphan
age, he preferred the request that I merely from my own knowl
edge make a few remarks on the state o f the school, etc. T o do
this is .to me a real pleasure.
The Girls’ Orphanage, which has now been in existence about
six years, was never in so prosperous or Satisfactory a state. It is
every way successful, and its prospects are very encouraging. All

its surroundings and internal arrangfemeolrsnd V tbue^frrming and
moulding of a hand and mind and heart all at once in love and
sympathy with their work. Both Brother and Sister Thomas are
peculiarly well adapted, by tastes and education, for this respon
sible position.
The Director of Public Instruction, who has frequently visited the
school, pronounces it a great success, and always expresses himself
pleased at the results of his examinations. This itself is highly
encouraging, especially as the institution draws largely on govern
ment for aid. Though none of the girls are yet very far advanced
as scholars, several of the more advanced having been married, yet
there is a good class well on in grammar, arithmetic, geography,
etc., and these not only in Hindustani, but in English also. Nearly
all the girls who are old enough learn to sew, knit, crotohet, etc.;
and already the result of their earnings, though small as yet, is
such as to be thought worthy of a place among the receipts of the
institution.
The moral and religious tone o f the school is very satisfactory
and encouraging. A large number of the girls are truly pious ;
they are devoted Christians, love God and their Bibles, and love to
pray ; some o f them pray with power.
As intimated, the Girls’ Orphange has already fairly begun to
fulfill its mission of giving to this land Christian instead of heathen
households. From it some dozen families have already been form
ed by the marriage of hopeful young men, several of them from
the Boys’ Orphanage, with the more mature and advanced girls
of the school. They go forth as Christian women, to become, as
indeed some of them have already become, heads of Christian
families, and joyful mothers of Christian children.
In a word, this is a most interesting and hopeful arm of our
work. The general health of the entire school of some one hundred
and twenty-six girls is good. During the past year there has been
but little sickness and few deaths. Though a few minor cases of
discipline occasionally occur, there is generally better behavior than
among a like number of girls at home. All seem happy, eat well,
play well, sing well, and doubtless are what they seem, a happy,
laving band o f Christian girls snatched from the hand o f heathen
ism and cruelty.
P i l l i b h e e t . — This station was o n our schedule once before, but
for want of men, and the failure of a brother’s health, it was for
a time given up. At present our good Brother Joel, one of our
native brethren recently ordained by Bishop Thomson, occupies
the station. Only time for a fair opening has yet transpired; still
Miuionar; Raport.

[1866.
the prospect is favorable. Already one whom we believe to be a
sincere inquirer has indicated his desire for the rite o f Christian
baptism.
The city is quite populous, and the community a very prosperous
one. From this point it is our design to visit as often as possible
during the cold season the Tharoo tribes who live in the interior
beyond.
Brother Joel’s first report is one o f real interest, especially the
latter portion o f it, where he rises to the dignity and power of the
seer, and his vision may be sevenfold clearer than our poor faith.
It is not unlike the closing, sentiment of Bishop Thomson’s pub
lished address before the late session of our conference. Truly it
is inspiring to read such language from the pen of one who him
self sat for years “ in the shadow ” until the beams of the sun of
righteousness pierced the darkness, and he saw the true light.

this station was chosen for occu

reach my appointment to commence operations until in February
last. ‘At that time I removed with my family from Bareilly to this
place, and at once commenced operations by frequent preachings
in the bazars, the establishment of a humble low-caste school,
and almost daily conversations with those who call to inquire of
the true religion.
[I have corrected thus far Brother Joel’s imperfect English, but
find that as little as I have altered it I have deprived it of its
native fire and force. I shall simply make a few extracts, nearly
in his own words, and thus give the sense of his entire though
brief report.—J. W . W a u g h .]
The truth o f the Gospel is preached in the bazars and streets,
yes, even to passionate and malicious people; and yet they often
hear it with meekness and reverence. In every preaching hearers
are gathered together from fifty to one hundred. In short, “ the
Gospel is preached to the poor that they may become rich.” This
is done three days in each week. One day is set apart for visiting
and conversing in their houses and shops, to convince and offer the
Almighty Redeemer.
Books and tracts are distributed gratisly. Those who come to
our house for books read with delight in their leisure hours ; but,
alafi! the fetters o f caste fasten them in such a manner that they
eannot confess the truth openly.

Chapel congregation every Sunday; from eighteen to twentyfour present. Prayer meeting every Wednesday evening.
School.—The boys of the school are of the poorer class of
people ; but they are trying to learn, however, and we wish to
thrive them. The average number in daily attendance is twelve,
reading the vernacular with relish.
Finally.—The Gospel, which is promulgated in Christ Jesus
with deep sighing, faith, hope, and charity, is not in vain ! For it
has commenced already, although slowly, to turn upsidé down
here and there the fancy righteousness of man, with the vain wor
shiping, yea, even more, with the aid of the great seducer’s power.
Thousands of Nicodemuses are found in this vast field. If the
commencement is such, truly the result will be glorious. The sun
of righteousness will come upon India’s head! Then the mid

thousands will be born in a day.

Accompanying you will also find the numerical and statistical
report for the year, and also the report of local receipts, concern
ing which I need say nothing, as so much has already been said of
the liberality of the friends of our mission. More money, by several
thousand rupees, is reported this year from the Bareilly District
alone than from the entire mission two years ago. The excess in
this district over the other districts arises from the fact that most,
of the institutions and enterprises of the mission are within its
bounds.
In the matter of finances, and in every other matter, we are try
ing to do our duty. We rely on the prayers of the Church. W e
are lpoking for success. Pray for us and for our work in India.
And let all the people pray for us.
MISSION PRESS, BAREILLY.
The operations of the press during the past year have varied
but little from those o f other years, except in the greater amount
of work done, and in the increasing of our lithographic depart
ment. Last year only Jive men were engaged in this work; now
there are ten. The edition of the Psalms recently issued in litho
graphed Persian-Urdu was soon exhausted, and a second and
much larger edition is now nearly ready. The American Bible
Society generously supply the means for carrying on this work.
86
[1866.
It is our intention to go on publishing other books o f the Bible in
this style, and in the same written character, which the educated
natives so much prefer to read. W e have also in hand a transla
tion of our Book of Discipline, a second and much enlarged edition
of our Mission Hymn Book, and a large work entitled, “ An In
quiry into the True Religion.” This is a •reprint of one of the
most successful refutations of Mohammedanism and Hindooism,
comparing them with Christianity ; it is also being issued in litho
graphed Urdu. The Discipline and Hymn book are in the Roman
character.
The English department o f the office has been very much occu
pied during the year with job work, the printing of regimental
and commissariat blank forms. By a reference to the financial
report sent forward, you will see that two thousand one hundred
and eighty-five rupees’ worth of this kind of work has been done,
and this of course aids in defraying the expenses of and enlarging
the other and strictly religious work of the office. And yet the
propriety o f a missionary spending any considerable portion of his
time in overseeing this secular work, o f turning job printer, in
short, is very much doubted. This fact found expression in a res
olution passed at our late Annual Conference at Lucknow, namely:
“ Resolved, That we recommend to the favorable consideration
o f the Missionary Board the propriety of appointing a layman to
superintend our Mission press.”
Up to the present time no word
o f response to the sentiment of this resolution has reached us from
home. W e anxiously await some expression of sentiment at least
on the subject. Meantime there is a sentiment gaining ground in
our mission, that if a layman cannot be secured to take charge of
ttas work, we should be ready to enter upon a wiser, more
economical, and truer policy, by disposing of our press establish
ment, either by letting it to native Christian printers, or otherwise,
and securing our work done at it, or at other presses, as might be
cheaper or more convenient; in short, of (¡easing to print, but con
tinuing to publish, by hiring our work done. Though we might
by this step lose the pleasure and convenience of possessing and
controlling a Mission press, it is believed that, unless a layman can
be secured for the work, prudence would point out the above as
the best step to be taken. W e oannot safely refuse to take the job
work offered us, as our press is the only one within some two hund
red miles of Bareilly, and we would be deemed unobliging by those
who are our friends. Should we receive no word from the Mis
sionary Board before our next Annual Conference in February, 1866,
the matter will doubtless come up for discussion in open conference.
37
IN D IA .
Our entire establishment is valued at some six thousand five
hundred rupees. The number of hands employed is now twenty.
We do work of almost every description, a small bindery being
also connected with the press. Printing is done in three languages,
and in six different characters or alphabets. The cost, including
labor, paper, and other items, of running the press each year, is
about four thousand rupees; and the value of all work done, both
religious and secular, about six thousand rupees.
We know our press is doing a good work for our mission,
and we hope to see it soon in charge of a good layman as
superintendent.

W e append the following note to the above list from
Brother Waugh, the Presiding Elder.
“ The attention of the Church has so frequently been called to
the aid realized by our mission from local sources, or those other
than the Board, that a mere reference to the fact, that within
the Bareilly District alone 26,350 rupees, equal to $13,175, have
been received during the past year, will suffice; an amount
nearly equal to that sent by the home Church for all purposes
throughout the Bareilly District. Few districts in home confer
ences raise so large a sum, and some conferences report much
less. Nearly all of this money is used in building up and carry
ing forward schools and school buildings, defraying the expenses
o f itinerating tours among the villages, the opening o f zyatts, etc.
. . . Prayer in behalf of those who thus so kindly aid us is al
ways in place with us, and would doubtless be grateful to the
Giver of all good gifts from the lips of the Church which cherishes
our work from home.”

MORADABAD DISTR ICT.
R e p o r t o p R e v . E. W . P a r k e r , P . E., August, 1865.—
W e sincerely hope that our brethren in the ministry will
carefully read and study this report. It will show them (as
will the other reports from India) the internal working of the
missions. The reader must not forget to carefully inspect the
list o f contributions made in India to the missions by Euro
peans and natives who personally see their workings and fruits.
These are intelligent gentlemen, and a goodly number of
them are in high and responsible positions, and perhaps not
one o f them a- Methodist. They see the manner of conducting
the work and they see the results, and testify to their value
by their liberal contributions. The confidence of the Govern
ment in the schools o f the mission will be seen from the sup
port it so liberally gives.
During the past year the goodness of God has been manifested
unto us in the preservation of the lives of all our missionaries and
native helpers, and in giving us prosperity in every department
o f our work. Since our last annual report went forward, two new
stations and several outstations have been occupied, and a number
o f new schools commenced. This district includes only five Confer
ence appointments, yet extends over a tract of country one hundred
and seventy miles long, and contains a population of about two
and a half millions. The laborers in this field during the past year
have been, four missionaries and their wives, six native local
preachers, eight exhorters, and thirty-two school-teachers.
M o r a d a b a d . —This station, which is under the charge of Rev. H .
Mansell, formerly included all of the Zillah or state of Moradabad;
but at our Conference it was divided into Moradabad, including
the city and county of that name, Sumbhal, including the city and
county of Sumbhal, and Moradabad Circuit, including the remain
der of the Zillah.
In Moradabad services are held regularly in our chapel every
Sabbath, class-meetings every Thursday evening, and meetings for
the study of the Scriptures and prayer every other evening of the
week. These services are especially designed for our native
Christians, although occasionally a few visitors drop in from the
city.
1866.]
IN D IA .
43
Besides our chapel services, two places, either in the city or
some village, are usually visited daily for street-preaching. In
these places we never fail of an audience of from thirty to five
hundred hearers, and we often notice particular persons who list
en to us regularly and attentively for weeks in succession. One
young educated Mohammedan whom we had thus noticed has
recently been converted to Christianity.
For some time the Chumars (a low caste of the Hindoos) of this
vicinity have shown some- interest in Christianity, and during
this season this interest has so increased that we have opened a
regular Sabbath-service in one . of their villages. I believe that
we may hope for fruit among this class of people soon.
T h e S c h o o l s of this station are also in a prosperous condition.
Our city school has increased to one hundred and eighty boys,
and is of good report in the city. A school has been opened
among the Chumars, at the same place where our Sabbath service
is held, which numbers twenty-five boys in regular attendance.
This is the first school ever established here among this class o f
people.
Besides this work among the males, we have two female Scripture
readers, employed to visit the females at their houses in the city
and near villages. They are well received and attentively listened
to, and give encouraging reports of their work. Through the aid
of one of the teachers and two of the scholars of our boys’ school,
we have succeeded in commencing two girls’ schools in the city;
one among the high-caste Hindoos, numbering twenty-five girls,
and one among the Mohammedans, numbering twenty. This is an
encouraging opening, and one long desired. W e also have a
small girls’ school for Christians on our premises.
M o k a d a b a d C i r c u i t contains the larger portion of the Moradabad Zillah, and has within its limits a number of large towns and
cities, and about seven hundred thousand people. The plan of the
circuit is not like circuits in America, but is to establish our tried
native helpers in large places about ten miles apart, so that they
can visit the villages on all sides of them. In this way each man
has an average of thirty thousand people in his charge. W e have
now six places occupied by native preachers and exhorters, and
others are open to us, and will be occupied as soon as men can be
obtained.
The following are among the places occupied:
Kunderhi, about twelve miles from Moradabad, contains a pop
ulation of about eight thousand. Andrias, who was formerly a
Hindoo priest, is laboring here among the Chumars, who were
u
[1866.
formerly his heathen followers. Many of the people are well
inclined toward Christianity, and a few seem to be true inquirers.
Chandausi, eighteen miles from Kunderki, and thirty miles from
Moradabad, is an important market city of about thirty thousand
people. Being a great center o f trade, it is an important field for
missionary labor; and Ambica Churn, a local preacher, is laboring
here, apparently with some success.
Ahchola is a small village where a few families of native Chris
tians live. It is under the care o f an exhorter, who also teaches a
small school for Christian children. Regular Sabbath services are
held here.
JB&bukhera, about four miles from Ahclrola, is the center of our
Seikh work, and is under the care of William, a local preacher.
W e have a little chapel and a native church here, and a school for
Christian children. It was here that Bishop Thomson baptized
twenty-seven persons, and left his name with the little son of one
o f our exhorters. In a village near by we also have an interesting
school of fifty Hindoo and Mohammedan boys.
Goa is another vill'age where a few Christians live, and where
a small Christian school is taught by an exhorter. Regular Sab
bath services are held, in which the native preacher from Amroah
assists.
Amroah is a city about twenty miles northwest from Morada
bad, containing a population of forty-five thousand. It is under the
charge o f Zahurul Hagg, a native conference probationer. Our
work has just commenced here, and we can only report that it is
a large, hard field.
Kaut is another large town nearly north from Moradabad, where
we have a school in successful operation preparatory to further
work. As the people receive our schools much more readily than
they do our preaching, we often open our way by first establishing
a school. Then, with the children as our guides, we can readily
gain access to the people.
These out-stations are visited regularly by the missionary in charge,
so that the work is kept under his special direction; and most of
the cold season is spent in tents, preaching from village to village
through the circuit.
Through the kindness of the North India Bible Society a col
porteur has been employed, and hundreds of Gospels in Hindi and
Ordu have been distributed through Moradabad Zillah. Many
tracts and religious books have also been distributed, and people
are thus gradually learning what Christianity is.
Sumbhal.—This station is under the charge of J. A. Cawdell,
1806.]
IN D IA .
45
who writes: “ Sumbhal as a mission field is important. It has a
population of not less than forty thousand, or if we take into con
sideration all within eight miles of the mission-house, a population
of over eighty thousand, made up of Hindoos of all castes and
Mohammedans. In its vicinity there are sixty-one places of sacred
resort, to some of which Hindoos from all parts of the country for
a great distance come every full moon, so that there are contin
ually melas or religious fairs taking place, at some of which thou
sands of Hindoos are present. Another thing that adds to the
importance of the place, is the fact that in the Bhagwat Puran (one
of the sacred books of the Hindoos) Sumbhal is predicted as the
birthplace of the expected incarnation of Vishnu, commonly called
by the Hindoos the ‘ Holy Incarnation,’ who is to be bom of a vir
gin, to be sinless, and, according to the Shastras, is to destroy sin
ners and usher in an age of purity. How important that in such
a place the missionary of the cross should declare the glad tidings
that the true incai-nation, not of the vile and mortal Yishnu, but of
the Holy and Immortal Creator, has appeared, and pointing to the
sinless life and vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ, proclaim
that ‘ there is no other name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved.’
“ The Gospel has been preached considerably in the bazars and
villages, and the people have invariably listened with attention,
often asking important questions, such as, ‘ Is the incarnation you
preach the one the Hindoos are expecting, or is it right that we
should look for another ? ’
“ A school has also been established, and is prospering. W e
look upon this branch of our work with interest, and with the
hope that it may prove an auxiliary that will assist largely in the
dissemination of true religion in this dark land. The school now
numbers eighty pupils.”
The work of this station was commenced during this year, and
a small missionary residence has just been completed. There are
a few native Christians here who meet for worship in Brother
Cawdell’s house, as we have no chapel yet.
Bijnotjk is under the charge of Rev. I. L. Hauser, and has also
had some prosperity during this year. Regular Sabbath services,
both in English and Hindustani, with class and prayer-meetings
during the week; and daily street-preaching has been regularly
and successfully kept up as at our other stations. Two of the na
tive assistants have also spent much time in preaching and distrib
uting books in the surrounding towns and villages.
A large and convenient schoolhouse has recently been completed
46
[1866.
at Bijnour, and the school is in a prosperous condition. The
native preacher has spent much time and been much encouraged
in teaching the. Scriptures and catechism in this school. There are
two other interesting and prosperous schools in this charge, in
large cities each about twenty miles from Bijnour in different
directions.
This is altogether an interesting field of labor; the people
always receive the missionary kindly and listen to his teachings
attentively.
P ottree is a station among the mountains of Garhwal, and was
taken up at our Conference, and Rev. J. M. Thoburn appointed
there by the bishop. The design of the mission is to reach the
mountaineers of Garhwal, and to preach the Gospel to the thou
sands of pilgrims on their way to the great mountain shrines of
Badrinath and Kedranath. Colonel H. Ramsey, C. B., Commis
sioner o f Kumaon and Garhwal, kindly assists us in establishing
and carrying on this work. Through his kindness we have secured
a small dwelling-housfe as a temporary residence for a missionary.
As Brother Mansell was directed to go to the mountains to regain
his health, he went t© Pouree to attend to the work there until
Brother Thoburn should arrive. He has commenced a school
which numbers thirty-four boys, and has preached some among
the villages.
As this is a very cool and healthy mountain station, it will no
doubt become a sanitarium for a portion of our mission.
From this report it will be seen that we are now only sowing
the seed, yet that we find some encouragement even in this. It
is encouraging to report a few hundred persons under the influ
ence of Christianity; but what are they among the nearly two and
a half millions still in heathen darkness in this district?
The Church should fully realize the work she has undertaken
in India, that her prayers and her aid may continually increase in
proportion as the work increases in interest and importance.

t h e C o r r e s p o n d in g S e c r e t a r y :
D e a r B r o t h e r , —It is my privilege tcf report that the work of
the Lord on this district is moving forward harmoniously, and I
humbly trust with some little success. W e are not, however, per
mitted to enjoy the success our hearts long for. God is very good
to us as a mission, blessing us in many ways, but we cannot rest
till we see more o f these poor deluded souls coming to Christ.
Do not, please, forget to pray for God’s blessing on our work.
As Rev. Dr. Duff once said to his brethren in Scotland, “ The
Church has yet to learn the power o f prayer.”
I feel I should not fully do my duty to the mission unless I
write more particularly about our need o f more men in the field
now, in order, first, to occupy the stations we have already taken
up, and, secondly, to be able to supply the places of brethren that
may be removed by death or for a time laid aside by sickness.
W e need five or six new men in the field now besides Brother
Thoburn. You know it will take a new man two years to learn
the language, so that he can be o f much real help in the mission,
and in two years God only knows what changes may have taken
place among us. Besides, there are calls from several stations now
for help; that is, the brother there wants a colleague to help him
in his work, and the mission should occupy some of the large na
tive cities, within our bounds. But we cannot think of looking in
either o f these directions till we have several new men. I feel
like urging the necessity o f these new men now the war has
closed, and I do hope you will try and send us at least three men,
besides Brother Thoburn, by our next conference. I inclose you
reports from Brothers Jackson, Wilson, and Knowles. These re
ports will indicate the work o f these brethren respectively. I
have written so much already that I will only add that the work is
very encouraging, and I believe the brethren and sisters are try
ing to do what they can for the salvation o f souls. I should men
tion, to the praise o f God’s goodness, that all are blessed with
health and strength for their work, notwithstanding we are in the
midst o f the fapt and trying season.
C. W. J u dd ,
Presiding Elder of Lucknow District.

G o n d a h . — The following letter is rather longer than we are
accustomed to publish, but it gives such weighty and positive
evidence o f the growing importance and influence o f our missions in India, that we deem it proper to give it, unabridged,
to the Church. Remember, a rupee is fifty cents.
W . June, P. E . E jlder L tjoknow D istrict :
D ear B rother,— 1. The work in this station has been carried
on during the past quarter in much the same way as explained in
jny l^st report. There are, however, a few circumstances con
nected with the past quarter’s experience which may not be unin
teresting to mention.
2.
The first circumstance to which I would draw attention is
the finishing and dedicating par chapel to the service o f God. |
mentioned in my last report that our Sabbath congregation had
become so encouraging, both as to the number and quality of it»
members, as to induce me to make an effort to build a suitable
place of worship for the same. I therefore started a donation list,
and thus collected the sum o f 402 rupees. With this amount J
went ou with the building, and was enabled, wit/h God?s blessing,
to bring it to completion last week, and to dedicate it to the wor
ship of Him we love and serve. The service was well attended
both by the European residents and Mohammedans and Hindoos
from the city.
The vernacular service was made the more impressive by the
baptism of a Mussulman convert. The whole service, as I after
ward heard from a native gentleman, made a good impression
Upon the natives, as I am sure it did upon the minds o f the Euro
peans. The actual cost of the building was only 750 rupees, but
on account of the cheapness of the materials, having bought a bun
galow for 50 rupees, and one rajah giving us leave to cut bamboo«
on his estate, and another giving permission to dig stone for lime,
etc., the price pf the building may be set down at the very lowest
at 800 rupees. The walls are mostly built o f bnrnt brick and lime,
and the whole what we would call in the yernacular pakka. The
main room is 20 by 40 inside, with a portico in firont, and vestry
or class-room behind. The roof is tiled and surrounded by a
pakka cornice. The receipts for the above amounted only to 402
rupees, (and more for sp small a station as Gonda could not be ex
pected,) while the expenditure came up to 150 rupees, thus leav
ing a debt of 348 rupees. JBy saving from my local funds I was
enabled to reduce this deficit to 128 rupees.
Tp R ev . C,
52
[1866
This remaining sum I was obliged to borrow to finish the build
ing before the rains set in. In other words, to save the mission
more than 622 rupees I borrowed 128 rupees. This sum, together
with the other estimates for Gonda, I trust the Board will* grant,
&8 I have collected all the money I can from our friends in the
station, and can save no more from my local income.
3.
The second event worthy o f notice is the baptism o f Raj ale
Ali, my moonshee. After my being appointed to Gonda I felt
much concerned about having to give tip the assistance o f Ab
dullah, our Lucknow moonshee, who greatly aided me in the work
o f translation. A t this time Raj ale Ali, who had heard our
preaching in the Husainabad bazar, came with a note from Joseph,
our native preacher in Lucknow, to say that he wished to converse
on the subject o f what he had heard the day before. I was very
much struck with his. respectable appearance and intelligent con
versation, and found then, and from subsequent conversations I had
with him) that he was just the man I needed to take the place of
Abdullah, and that he was evidently sent to me for that purpose.
He was in the survey department, and about to receive 60 rupees
per month. His own wish was to remain in this department, and
come whenever he could obtain leave and receive instruction in
the principles of our holy religion. But on learning I was going
to Gonda, and on my representing to him the spiritual advantage
he would derive by going with me as my moonshee to that station,
where he would always be near to converse on religious subjects,
he agreed to give up his work o f surveying land and 60 rupees a
month, and come as a moonshee on a monthly salary of 15 rupees,
to survey the wonders o f redeeming love, and to help translate the
same into the language o f his people. He soon joined our class,
and has now been seven months on probation. During this time
he has, in his walk and conversation, given me every satisfaction,
and in his spiritual experience much encouragement. He has been
very useful to me in the book-room and in the school, and as a
moonshee has been invaluable. Hence last Sabbath, at the dedi
cation o f our chapel, before a good congregation o f natives and
Europeans, I baptized and admitted him into the Church. His
very respectable appearance; respectful manner, and the earnest
feeling way in which he answered the questions proposed, made
an excellent impression upon all present. I thought him a suitable
person to receive an exhorter’s license, and the first time after his
baptism he preached in the bazar he spoke with much freedom and
earnestness, and said afterward that God had greatly blessed his
soul. Thus a man was sent me not only as a moonshee, but to
1866.]
IN D IA .
53
take the place, as native preacher, of Thomas Scott, who, although
appointed to Gonda, never came. Hence he receives from the 1st
instant the salary allowed for Thomas Scott, namely, 25 rupees.
Raj ale Ali is a good natural speaker, well up in the Mohammedan
controversy, and a Persian and Arabic scholar; hence his value to
me and our work. He has written to Julander for his wife,
mother, and younger brother to come to Gonda, and I know his
prayers and hopes are that they will be converted to God, and that
they will be baptized and admitted into the Church. Let our
prayer to God be that Raj ale Ali may be kept in the fight way,
and become the means of bringing many a wretched benighted
soul to the light and love he himself professes to have found.
Amen.
4.
One more circumstance I must not omit to mention is that of
a Mr. Brown, the master o f the rajah’s school at Patrampore. He
was superintending the working of a circular steam saw, and in
guiding the piece of timber his left hand slipped and was caught
by the saw, which cut through the bone, and tore and jagged the
flesh, from the wrist up to the shoulder, in a most fearful manner.
He was brought to the hospital here, where he received every at*
tendance. When recovering he sent up to the mission for a Bible,
and to say he wished to see the missionary. I accordingly went
down and read and prayed with him. He seemed very much af
fected, and said he wished to reform and lead a good holy life;
that God he believed had sent this affliction as a punishment, and
that if spared he would devote hitnself in Patrampore to the work
of God. I directed him to the Saviour o f men and the strength
of the weak, and to pray especially for a new heart and clean spirit.
I visited him as often as my other work would allow, and found
his conviction o f sin and impressions o f God’s mercy in Christ
deepening in his soul.
When I visited him on Sunday, the 9th inst., I found him in a
happy, peaceful state of mind. He said, with tears in his eyes, that
God had pardoned and blessed him, and that he felt a great
change of heart. He now loved prayer and reading God’s word,
which he never did before, and he could now look up to God
through Christ as his heavenly Father. He blessed God, he said,
for the day that brought us to read and pray with him. He ended
by asking to have his name entered in our class-book as a proba
tioner. His reason was that he might be able to come in from
Patrampore every other Sabbath for the benefit of preaching,
class-meeting, etc., and feel that he had some one who would care
for his soul. This is the one probationer mentioned in the statis
54
tical report. Mr. Brown has received a good common English
education* has studied the native languages classically, and having
been born in the country is well acquainted with the native charac
ter. He is the head master of the rajah’s school at Patrampore,
twenty-seven miles from Gonda, and from a conversation I had
with the rajah a few days ago, he appears to have considerable in
fluence with this the first kellagdar in Oudh.
Now such a man as this, truly converted to God, and a member
o f our Church in such an important place as the residence of this
rajah and liberal minded Hindoo, will be a very great help to our
mission in Gonda, and I cannot but look upon it as being the hand
ctf God bringing about these events to open our way to preach the
blessed saving truths of the Gospel to the people of Patrampore
and the district. Hence the reason o f mentioning his case in this
report.
5. I am sorry that neither time nor space will permit me to men
tion the case o f the woman entered as baptized, or that I cannot
now write particularly of three very interesting inquirers, two
young men attending my school and a Hindoo garu (teacher) from
the district, now under religious instruction. Bnt these I trust
will be profitable and pleasing subjects for our next report.
6, The child mentioned as baptized in the statistics is my own
little son, whom I baptized an hour before he went to heaven.
I remain, dear brother, yours faithfully,
S. K x o w l h s .

ith thanks to our heavenly Father we are
able to rejoice that our numbers are unbroken by death, and that
our Church has continued to enjoy his favor.
The services on the Sabbath have been regularly attended to, as
also the class meetings on Tuesday evenings. Only one person has
been received on trial. He was a former occasional visiter at the
mission and was instructed by them. He is now in the employ oi
the mission and under instruction.
Hie bazar preaching has been attended to by the natives.
The opposition o f the Mohammedans in preaching against
Christ continues.
A native gentleman, a Hindoo, called at the mission house several
times. He appeared at first anxious to make inquiries respecting
the gospel, showing some acquaintance with the Scriptures. He
was ready to be employed at once, professing a desire to impart his
t h e Rev.

m
knowledge to others. His aid, however, I could not aecept, and told
him bo, assuring him that unless he could acknowledge that Christ
was God he was not fit to teach Christ. For this he was not
ready. At his last visit the object, I suppose, was disclosed; he
was very anxious to get me interested in his favor, and to use in
fluence to obtain him an office under government. This I declined
doing. Since that time his visits have not been repeated.
Our Zenana schools continue in operation and give satisfaction.
The extreme heat and sickness of the last two months have affected
in some degree the regular attendance. This is, however, since
the rains, improving.
The Horsunabad school, closed for some weeks during the hottert
weather, is again opened. The attendance increases daily. The
subjects taught are the same as before; marked progress is seen ia
all the classes. The Director of Public Instruction in Oudh, after
an examination be made o f some of the classes a few weeks ago, as
sured me that the change and advancement was very commenda
ble indeed.
The distribution of Scriptures and Tracts through the agents o f
the Bible Society and ourselves continues in the district and city.
There are three agents of the Society under our direction.
Over thirty rupees’ worth of books have been sold, and a large
number of ti’acts gratuitously distributed.
Pray the Lord sincerely to revive his blessed work among us.
Amen and Amen.
Yours affectionately,

D ear Brotheb,— I am happy to say that the work of remov
ing the old bungalow and building a new one near the native city
has been completed ; we now have a neat substantial mission house
large enough to accommodate any o f our mission families. I need
not express to you my satisfaction and thankfulness for the success
that has attended our building plans. The entire cost of removing
and re-erecting has been near nineteen hundred rupees, ($950.)
We also were obliged to provide a home, for Amos (our exhorter)
and a moonshee; we have done so by putting up a very neat one,
containing three rooms, at a cost o f nearly one hundred rupees,
($50.) Also we were required to rent a house while removing
the old bungalow; this added fifty rupees to our indebtedness. So
that our total expenses have been two thousand and fifty rupees,
($1,025.) This amount exceeds my building fund by several hund
R ev.

red rupees. Still I hold myself alone responsible for the extra
expenditure. Since we have moved into our new bungalow we
have reorganized our Sabbath-school, our weekly class and prayer
meetings, and also have had services both in English and Hindus
tani on each Sabbath. These services have been held in my study,
and for some weeks James David and I have preached in Hindus
tani week about, while the English work has been performed en
tirely by myself.
Owing in part to my time being so occupied in overlooking my
building operations, and also to the extreme heat, I have not been
able to visit the bazars in person only occasionally, but James
David has done so regularly and faithfully; while Amos has been
out in the district preaching and distributing the word of God
and tracts to all who would hear or receive. Our thanks are due
to the North India Bible and Tract Societies at Allahabad, and the
American Presbyterian press at Lodiana, for large grants o f Scrip
tures and Tracts in the vernacular. Also we have had copies of
the Psalms, with a few other Tracts, from our own press at Bareilly,
which are highly prized by many. Our thanks are also due to our
friends here for a liberal monthly subscription, whereby not only
the expenses o f our schools have been met, but also freight on books
and other necessary incidental expenses.
Mrs. Wilson has opened a Christian school in our vernacular,
where instructions are given in both English and in the vernacular.
Thus far we have ten scholars, with a prospect of an increase. Our
school at Bhownugger continues much the same. Our native
converts seem to be doing in the main well. W e have several in
quirers; their temporal support is becoming a practical question
with us, as we now have several young Brahmans living thirty
miles distant who profess to desire baptism ; but as this act would
cut off their means o f support, and they see no other, they hesitate
to take the step. I should mention that several itinerations have
been made; one o f which was to attend the great Mela at Delamow, where helpers and all spent several days. Also many smaller
ones have been attended, and many bazars and villages visited, at all
o f which the gospel has been preached and books distributed.
With gratitude to God for the past and hope for the future, I am
most obediently yours in Gospel bonds,
P. T. "Wilson.

ANNUAL REPORT.
To
the
C oresponding S ecretary :
B rother , —In preparing for

the Board the annual retro
spect o f our operations, we would reverently express our devout
gratitude to Almighty God for the blessings with which he has
crowned the year.
BISHOP THOMSON'S VISIT.
t
In this connection we appropriately refer to the welcome visit
o f our beloved Bishop Thomson. He reachfed the M ission, January
22d, 1865, and remained with us until February 8th, 1865, when

on his return trip. I have given you full particulars
this important and unprecedented event in the
history of this mission. Its blessed influences still remain with
ue. W e hope in the future to be favored with episcopal visits
quadrennially.
Soon after the departure of Bishop Thomson, our mission
wa6 reduced by the return to the United States of Brother
Gibson and family, and Sister Martin. Another incident that has
modified our operations was the division, in part, of the territory to
be occupied respectively by our Mission and that of the American
Board established here. In pursuance of this arrangement, we
withdrew from Changlok and Inghok, two district cities where
we had opened chapels.
During the year we have dedicated our new church on Eaststreet, built on the site of the house destroyed by the mob in
January, 1864; have established two day-schools, and reopened
one that had been suspended; have baptized fifty-three persons,
of whom thirty were adults, twenty-three infants; have officiated
on fou r occasions to perform the marriage ceremony in our native
Church ; have received from our native Church $63 35, missionary
money; have completed, in connection with our brethren of the
American Board Mission, the uniform version of the New Testa
ment in this colloquial dialect; have arranged for preparing a
uniform version of the Old Testament in the same style ; have
conducted all the usual operations of the mission; and are per
mitted to say, “ The best o f all is, God is with u s ”
le ft
c o n c e r n in g
Rev. S. L. Baldwin reports as follows for the work under his
charge:
1. SOUTH FUHCHAU CIRCUIT.
This circuit embraced, at the beginning of the year, Chihg Sing
Tong and Chang-lok. On the 1st of April, in pursuance of an
agreement with the Mission of the American Board, the latter place
was given up to that mission. We had only two members there,
and their membership was transferred to the Sien Liang class. The
superintendent then added Hokch’ang to my circuit in place of
Changlok. My present report, therefore, will embrace the stations
of Ghing Sing Tong and HokcKang.
1.
Ghing Sing Tong.—During the year I have baptized and
received into full membership three probationers, have received
one new probationer, and readmitted a former member on proba
tion. In addition to these, there have been several inquirers whose
attendance on the means of grace has not been sufficiently steadMuuooary Raport.
_
66
[1866.
fast to warrant me in receiving them as probationers. This old
“ mother Church ” seems to be about at a standstill, as far as mem
bers are concerned, yet it must be remembered that the number
of members is no adequate index of the work accomplished.
Ching Sing Tong has from the beginning sent forth its mem
bers to enlarge other charges, and has received but few in return.
Although the number of members is about the same as when I
took charge, more than half of them have been baptized and re
ceived since that time, while those whose places they supply are
not lost to the Church, but are connected with other stations. Of
the present number all but two were received and baptized at this
church. W e have had one death, that o f Sister IAng Soi Sieng,
who died August 18th, 1865, peacefully, trusting in Christ.
The church has been regularly opened for preaching four or five
days in each week, and a large quantity of Scriptures and tracts
has been distributed. I am indebted to Dr. Maclay and Brother
Sites for their efficient aid, each having taken a day each week for
this service. The day-school has been continued during the year,
with an average attendance o f fifteen.
2.
JToJccttang.— Since the work at this district city came under
my charge, six months since, I have received three into church
membership and eight on probation, and have baptized one child.
I have visited the place twice during the six months. On the first
trip I was accompanied by Hu Sing Mi, and we visited Mingau
and Kioantau, preaching and distributing books at both places,
as well as at some of the villages on the route to Hokch’ang.
On the second occasion I was acompanied by Yek Ing Kwang.
W e were much encouraged by the aspects of the work there.
The converts seem to be earnest, and appear to grow in faith and
in the knowledge of the Scriptures; and there are many disposed
to inquire concerning “ this way.” Our helper there, Ling Ching
Ting, has labored diligently and efficiently. He studies the
Scriptures with intense delight, and has already a knowledge of
them equal to that o f many preachers in the home work. He
never seems happier than when reading and expounding the
sacred word to his little flock. If Brother Binkley’s short stay in
the mission had no other eflect than the conversion of Ching Ting,
it would have been worth all it cost to him and to the Church. It
already seems to have resulted in the addition of a score of mem
bers and probationers, and the widening circles of blessed influence
can be measured only by eternity. The fact that all our converts
at Hokch’ ang are Annang people, seems to indicate the extension
of our work in the direction o f A m oy; and we shall probably, at

distant day, meet our brethren from that city at the northern
limits of their work. May we not hope ere many years to see
Christian societies in all the large cities and villages between
Fuhchau and Amoy ?

II. MISSION PRINTING OFFICE.
This has continued under my care during the year, my hope of
a layman being appointed to take it off my hands having been dis
appointed. The work completed during the year is as follows:

This includes only the work completed. Brother Gibson’s Refer
ence New Testament, which is finished as far as Hebrews, cannot
enter into the account; and so with the new edition of the Collo
quial New Testament in large type, with which we have advanced
beyond the middle of Mark. These would add materially to the
number of pages o f Scripture, but they must be deferred to next
year’s account. W e are under great obligations to the American
Bible Society, and to the Tract Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, for the liberal aid they have afforded us. W e hope that the
Tract Society will be able to make us a larger grant for next year.
The appropriation for this year (§400 in gold in New York) will
bring us here about $360, which is about |120 less than the amount
of our Tract printing during the year. The Tract called “ Faith
in Christ ” is the work of one of our native helpers, and we hope
to have others from this source soon. The Discipline of our Church
is being translated, and other useful tracts are in process in prepara
tion, so that our press will be fully employed the coming year. I
hope our Tract Society will be able to make us an appropriation
68

[1866.
that will realize here at least $500, say $560 or $570 in gold in New
York. W e now employ seven hands in the office. I expect with
in a month to add four or five to the number, and to work both of
our presses sixteen hours per day. W e are especially grateful to
the Board for supplying us with two such excellent fonts of Chinese
type as we are now using. W e can now meet almost any demand
that may be made for printing in Chinese. I will close with the
question: Is there no lay printer in the United States who will
give himself to this work ? I sincerely trust the answer will not
be in the negative.
III. SMYRNA DAY-SCHOOL FOR CIRLS.
This school was commenced in March, 1865, after a great
deal o f difficulty had been experienced in trying to get girls to
attend. It opened with two scholars, but the number rapidly in
creased until it reached seventeen. Usually from twelve to sixteen
have been in attendance during the whole season. They study the
Scriptures, the three-character classic, and the Methodist Cat
echism, and make commendable progress. Mrs. Binkley intends
giving them regular instruction in singing during the present cool
season. She is greatly encouraged by their regular attendance and
diligence in study.
Rev. N. Sites thus reports for the work on the Western
Circuit:
In making my Annual Report to you I shall first briefly speak
of the work as connected with the Church members ; and, second
ly, speak of what has been done to extend the preaching of the
Gospel to those beyond or outside the classes formed by our
Mission.
1. To the members there has been preaching quite regularly on
Sabbath during the year. Both myself and helpers have devoted
our attention to this matter.
2. Two expulsions have taken place from the Ngukang class.
One was for violation o f the Sabbath, the other for immoral
conduct.
3. I have baptized five adults and five infants during the
year.
4. There have been two day-schools in connection with the
classes, and one at Minch’iang city, where, as yet, no class has
been formed. The school at Ngukang was commenced nearly
three years ago by Mrs. Sites, soon after we moved to that village,
and it continues to increase in interest. During the present year
1866.]
CHINA.
69
the Ngukang and Kvvihung classes have agreed to give one dollar
per month toward the support of the school. The parents feed
and clothe their own children besides. This leaves but three dol
lars per month to be paid by the mission. The teacher there this
y e a r is Sister Tang, a devoted Christian woman.
She is sister of
Brother Hu Sing Mi, who recently spent two years in the hospitable
family of Brother John Stephenson in New York city. Sister
Tang has proved herself every way worthy of the place, and is very
acceptable to the people of the village. She is one of those rare
exceptions in China, an educated lady. She is also one of those
“ to whom it is given, in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in
him, but also to suffer for his sake.” When she first decided to
become a Christian, she was greatly persecuted by her husband’s
friends, and was threatened with various evils if she did not desist
This contest she fought through alone, as her husband is not a
Christian. At the time of the riot, 22d January, 1864, she suffer
ed more than pen can describe. God only knows, and he will
make it plain.
In consequence of continued persecution in the family of her
husband, she determined to move to the country, and made appli
cation for the school at Ngukang, where she has been so successful.
Two of her children, a little boy three years old, and a little girl
eight years old, have been with her at Ngukang. Her oldest, a
boy ten years old, has hitherto been with her husband’s people,
but she has decided to take him with her to Ngukang after the
annual meeting, as she fears he will be ruined if he stays where
he is. May we not ask a prayer of those who see these lines in
behalf of Sister Tang, our first native Christian female teacher ?
The second day-school is at Yekiong, eight miles from Ngukang.
The teacher is now sixty-one years old, and was baptized one year
ago. He is very zealous, and labors diligently to bring his friends
and neighbors to the cross of Christ. Much of the interest now
manifested in that village is due to his conversations with his kin
dred there. Much Christian knowledge is imparted through this
school.
While speaking of Yekiong, I will briefly say that there is at
present a more general interest manifested in behalf of Christianity
by the residents than in any other part of my work. At the first
quarterly meeting ever held there, September 15th, 17th, 1865,
fou r adults were admitted to the Church by baptism, and six were
reported as probationers. About one hundred persons were pres
ent at the Sunday services of the quarterly meeting. Many have
their eyes partly opened ; they “ see men as trees walking.” O

that the Lord would put his hand again upon their eyes that they
might be restored to Christ, their rightful master!
5.
I have solemnized three Christian marriages during the year.
The brides were all from heathen families. Two of them are now
attentive inquirers, and we hope the other will soon be so. The
mission allows of heathen wives to be married in, but does not
allow of Christian girls to be married out to the heathen.
TH E OUTSIDE WORK.
During the first six months of the year, that is, during the cool
season, I visited three of the district cities of this prefecture,
always taking one or two of my devoted helpers with me. The
nearest city visited was M incKiang, about forty miles west from
Fuhchau. To this city I have gone five times during the year.
W e now have a day-school in connection with the chapel there.
Though the scholars are but few, yet we have felt that the school
was a great help to us in showing to the people at least part of our
object in coming among them.
Our helper there has partly suc
ceeded in removing the strong prejudice that existed against for
eigners and against Christianity. We, however, design this small
official city more as a depository and kind of stragetic point from
which to operate on the more populous and thriving sections in
the interior o f the district. Leuh Tu is a large and prosperous
city in this district, and we have met with a very favorable recep
tion from the people there. Being twenty miles back from the
river, no foreigner had ever before visited the place. W e arrived
about sundown, told our business to the gathering crowd, and
asked for a place to stop over night. Soon a very large sixfooter came up to me. I told him our errand, and after one or two
remarks he said, “ Come follow me,” and we did so. Just at the
side o f the village, he took us into an immense palace containing
three hundred and sixty rooms. The outer walls are from eight
to ten feet thick at the base, and are from fifteen to twenty feet
high, with portholes along the sides, and bastions at two corners.
Within the walls we were kindly entertained over Sabbath, were
allowed to preach in the great reception room at night, and to go
forth into the adjacent villages to preach and distribute books in the
daytime. The brother of our host is the wealthiest man in all
the district of Minch’iang, and resides in another fortified palace
one half mile distant from where we stopped. W e visited the
place, met the owner, gave him a Bible and a few words of ex
hortation. Our attention, however, was given to all classes, from

the highest to the lowest, and we could not but feel that the poor
had the Gospel preached to them in a peculiar sense. My helper,
Sia-Sek-Ong, has since gone twice to this place, and met with
favor from the people. W e trust the Lord will enable us to plant
the standard of the cross in this valley of fifty thousand inhabit
ants. There are, as yet, no professed inquirers in all the Minch’iang district. O that the Lord would pour floods upon the
dry ground.”
From the above named village we passed over to Ingbok, a dis
tance o f twenty-eight miles, on foot. Here we met the Inghok
ohapel-keeper, had a pleasant interview with the native brethren,
and were favored with good opportunities for preaching to the
people. This district city is about forty-five miles southwest from
Fuhchau. From Inghok we returned home by boat, having made
during our trip a circuit of one hundred and twenty-five miles in
nine days.
The third district city visited during the year is Kuch’eng,»
ninety miles northwest from Fuhchau. On our way to this city
we traveled forty-five miles on foot, preaching the word and
distributing books in many towns and villages which had never
before received a herald of the cross. But time fails me to tell of
the many interesting incidents and favorable receptions we met
with. Two days of this foot-travel was up, up the mountains,
and down, down again through heavy showers of rain; yet no
murmur ever was heard from any one of the party. A large
village of perhaps two thousand five hundred inhabitants stands
among the knobs of this mountain summit. Here we sought and
found lodgings second only to those we had at Leuk Tu. Thou
sands of these village people were permitted to hear the Gospel
sound. Of our work at Kuch’eng I need not speak, as that is
under the care of the superintendent, and is doing well. W e re
turned home in nine days, having made a circuit of one hundred
and eighty miles.
During the year I have traveled in my work one hundred and
seventy-four miles by chair, two hundred and twelve miles on foot,
four hundred and eighty miles in boat, making in all eight hundred
and sixty-six miles. How poorly my work has been done, and
how much or little fruit will result, the Lord only knows.
In view of our reduced numbers as a mission, and the exigencies
of the work, we returned last April to our former residence in the
Mission compound. The two and a half years spent in the country
will ever be remembered by us with pleasure and gratitude to
God.

[1806.
North Fuhchau Circuit.—This circuit has been under my
charge the past year. October 16th, 1864, we dedicated our new
church at East-street, in this city. The occasion was one of great
interest and encouragement to us all. Since the dedication the
church has been opened nearly every day for preaching. I am
truly thankful to say that the people have given us no annoyance
at this appointment. After the terrible scenes of the riot there in
January, 1864, we had many fears as to the success of our future
efforts to reach this turbulent people. But God has been “ our
refuge and strength.” The people have listened respectfully to
our message, and I believe the word is arresting the attention of
many who have attended the church during the past year. Two
adults and two children have been baptized, and a small dayschool has been started. This is our only church within the city
wall.
Tien lon g.—This is a small class of eight members, situated on
-the mountains some twenty-five miles north of Fuhchau. The
place is difficult of access, and I have visited it only once during
the year. There has been no addition to the Church, but we now
have three or four inquirers. A small day-school is conducted in
the village under our patronage, and the brethren testify to its
salutary influence.
Lienkong.—This is a district city lying about twenty-five miles
eastward from Fuhchau. W e have no class there, but have rented
a small chapel, and during the year kept a helper and a chapelkeeper there. I was not able to visit the city during the year.
Our brethren of the English Mission have also rented a chapel
there and have visited the place for preaching. They also have a
helper and an assistant helper stationed there.
jKucKeng.—This is a district city situated about ninety miles in
a northwesterly direction from Fuhchau. Finding myself unable
to visit it, Brother Sites kindly consented to include it in one of
his interior trips. W e have a small class of four members there.
W e have rented a good chapel, and have had a helper and cbapelkeeper stationed there during the year. The field is an inviting
one, and we hope to give more attention to it hereafter.
Tien Ang Tong.— Since Brother Gibson’s departure for the
United States last February, this appointment has been under my
care, and all my Sabbaths not otherwise appropriated have been
given to it. Eleven adults and twelve children have been baptized
here during the year. A very interesting Sunday-school is con
nected with this appointment. The regular Sabbath congregation
is about sixty.

BOYS' BOARDING SCHOOL.
This school, after Brother Gibson’s departure, was transferred to
my care, and I have given to it a large portion o f my time and at
tention. The school now has sixteen scholars. Two have been
converted and received into the Church during the year. I
estimate very highly the importance of this department of our
operations. The school is doing a good work for China.
GIRLS’ BOARDING SCHOOL.
After six years of incessant toil the Misses Woolston are now in
the north of China enjoying a brief vacation, and during their ab
sence the school has been suspended. When the school was dis
missed there were twenty-six girls in attendance, and the prospects
of usefulness wei;e highly encouraging. I cannot too highly com
mend the zeal and devotion of the Misses Woolston, and I trust
the Church will not cease to remember them in their efforts to ele
vate woman in China. Five of the pupils have been baptized
during the year.
THE FOUNDLING ASYLUM.
Mrs. Maclay has continued in charge of this institution. Thirty
foundlings have been cared for during the year, and the charge of
such a family has drawn largely on Mrs. Maclay’s time and strength.
The work, however, has been cheerfully performed, and the
pleasure of doing good to these helpless castaways has been to
her ample compensation.
SCRIPTURES AND TRACTS.
You will be pleased to know that our uniform version of the New
Testament in the colloquial dialect of this city is now passing
through the press. You will also rejoice to learn that arrange
ments have been made for preparing at once a similar version of the
Old Testament. Thank God! “ the morning cometh.” W e
have prepared new editions of our Hymn Book, Ritual, and Cate
chism ; and Brother Baldwin has brought them out in beautiful
style. Brother Gibson’s Reference New Testament will soon be
completed. We have republished an edition, on wooden blocks,
of the Christian three-character Classic; that is, a summary of
Christian doctrines in seutences each containing three characters
or words. W e have also published on blocks a discourse preached
at one of our quarterly meetings by Brother Hu Po Mi. It is
74
[1866.
called “ Faith in Christ, or Believing in Jesus,” and is an ad
mirable production.
In conclusion, we would solicit for ourselves and for the great
work in which we are engaged an interest in the prayers of the
people of God. W e are trying to make full proof of our ministry.
The past year has furnished ample opportunities for ceaseless labor.
The field is constantly enlarging; new'doors are opening on every
hand; but the laborers are few. W e rejoice that “ God has
counted us faithful, putting us into this ministry.” W e desire no
other positions than those we occupy as missionaries of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church to the perishing millions of China. But
we long for greater displays of divine power in our work. We
want to see this people coming by thousands to the feet of Jesus.
W e are hoping that the coming year will open up a new and more
glorious era in the history of this Mission. W e have consecrated
ourselves afresh to our work, and hope, according to our ability, to
labor wholly for God— to know nothing among these multitudes
save Jesus Christ and him crucified. W e are not unwilling to
give the last and highest proof o f our devotion to the Saviour.
W e think ourselves determined “ to follow the Lamb whithersoever
he goeth.” May we strengthen our hearts with the conviction
that “ prayer is made without ceasing of the Church unto God for
us!”
Tours truly,

ANNUAL REPORT.
TO THE COBBESPONDING S eC R E T A B Y :
My D e a r B b o t h e r . — D i f f i c u l t i e s . —Again we are near the
close of another calendar year, and in looking back into the past
I am forced to say, “ The Lord has done great things for us,” and
we have the greatest reason “ to be glad thereof.” If we look to
our work in comparison to the millions o f inhabitants of this coun
try, certainly it looks like the smallest spot on the firmament compored with the sun; but if we regard the many difficulties we have
to overcome, and the many souls that confess to have been brought
to the Saviour by the instrumentality o f the Methodist preachers,
we have only reason to feel encouraged. The many difficulties in
our way cannot be understood by our American brethren. First, the
many small states in Germany and cantons in Switzerland, every one
with its own government and different laws, and most of them try
ing to hinder the progress of our work as much as the laws per
mit them; and they are especially encouraged to do so by the State
Church clergy, b o that we often are forced to give up a field that
promised a great harvest. When the government is bound to per
mit our labors by the laws o f religious liberty, our preachers have
witnessed the same scenes, and receive sometimes the like treat
ment as Mr. Wesley and his followers in England. Will you be
lieve that Brother Messmer in a part of his work (Canton St. Gallen) dare not venture to hold meeting after daylight, nor dare he
walk on the street on the evening, for the people would stone him.
But that is not our greatest difficulty.
You cannot find many families, and still less counting-houses,
shops, or workshops, where the Sabbath is truly consecrated. The
most evangelical clergymen cry, “ We do not Avant here the Puritan-Sabbath of England and America.” Therefore all men who
are in any way dependent on others have to work at least part of
the Sunday, if not every Sunday, at least on some Sundays of the
:78
M ISSION ARY
REPORT.
11866.
year. As soon, therefore, as souls are awakened, the struggle com
mences with the duty o f consecrating the Sabbath. Is he the
father of .a.family? the struggle is still harder, as he will lose his
situation if he strictly attend to the Sabbath. And where in all
Germany can he get a situation under such conditions ? However,
the Lord did often wonderfully assist such brethren, and they gave
up everything rather than sin against the Lord’s holy command
ment, and he did help them.
However, notwithstanding all difficulties in our way, the work
is slowly progressing, and as there is great hope for religious liberty
over all Germany, we may expect ¡with the help of God that the
work will soon spread over the whole country.
O u r C o n f e r e n c e was held in Bremen, Bishop Janes presiding.
It was a time of great rejoicing for preachers and members. The
bishop did win the heart o f every man, and has become a gFeat
blessing to us all. His preaching, though an interpreter was
necessary, made a deep impression on the people, and he will be
hailed by preachers and societies if they should have the joy to
see him again. O ur bishop had also work enough among us.
During the session he replied to many questions that were laid be
fore Mm very explicitly, and gave us his fatherly and wise coun
sels in different matters. He ordained sixteen German and five
Scandinavian preachers to deacons’, and nine German and one
Scandinavian preacher to elders’ orders. He preached on Sunday
morning, and made a missionary speech at the Missionary Tea
Meeting on Monday evening. On the whole our good bishop will
confess that, though he had only to station thirty-three preachers,
he had to labor as hard at our conference as at any other he meets
in Am erica. The Teports of the preachers, spiritual as well as finan
cial, were encouraging.
I will now give you a short detail of our whole work.
B r e m e n D i s t r i c t , C. Achard, Presiding Elder.
B r e m e n , C. Achard, and four helpers.—The work in the city and
country is still progressing slowly. W e had at the commencement
of the year quite a small revival and some powerful conversions,
which put us in mind o f old times. VegesacJc is attended by one of
the students, has a good chapel, and a large congregation on Sab
bath. The meetings at the Institute Chapel are more encourag
ing, and several souls have been converted through the past year.
The Sunday-schools are flourishing.
D e l m h o r s t a n d N e e k s t e d t , C. Dietrich , and tw o helpers,—
T h e tw o circuits continue to prosper, souls were converted, apd
1866.]
79
there are still souls under conviction. Prospects are good. The
five Sunday-schools are interesting, and several children were
converted.
B r e m e r h a v e n a n d D r a k e , H. Kunst, one helper.—In Bremerhaven the attendance on the Sabbath day is better than ever be
fore. Souls were converted, and our prospect is flattering. A
good Sunday-school. For Brake we have very little hope at pres
ent, though there is a fine chapel there.
O l d e n b u r g D i s t r i c t , L. S. Jacoby, Presiding Elder.
O l d e n b u r g a n d V a r e l , A . JLuering, one helper.—W e did
build last year a house in Oldenburg which contains parsonage
and chapel, and was dedicated by Biehop Janes. The whole cost
five thousand thalers, and a debt was left of two thousand thalers.
An old brother, a very faithful class-lead er and steward, gave seven
hundred and seventy thalers to it. W e received about fifty thalers
from New York, and twenty thalers from England. At the com
mencement of the year there was a revival, and among the souls that
found peace were two shippers from a village near Hamburg, who
were forced by the ice to remain with their small vessels in Olden
burg. They left in the spring rejoicing, and are faithful and dili
gent. They attend regularly to our means of grace if they are
with their vessels at Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Bremen, or Olden
burg. Our prospects for the future are very good in Oldenburg.
We have a very interesting Sunday-school here. Varel is a barren
place, and we have to wait till it pleases God to shake the dry bones.
E d w e c h t , F. Kluesner.—A large and very interesting circuit,
now with two chapels, in Edwecht and Westerstede. Our brother
has the help of three local preachers. The Lord has especially blesse<J
Westerstede in the past year, and our prospect for the whole
work is encouraging. Sunday-schools are attended well. Mem
bers are faithful and earnest.
H a m b u r g , G, Goess.— W e had several conversions there in the
past year, but the work continues to go on very slowly. We
had to change again our place of worship, but got only two small
rooms, which were made into one room. As long as we have to
labor here without a chapel we cannot expect success. The Sun
day-school is small, but the brethren attend faithfully to it. In re
gard to the emigrants, Brother Goess writes : “ We have also often
the privilege to preach the Gospel to a large body of emigrants.
We recommend them to our brethren in America, and try to eure
them of the prejudices against Methodism which they bring from
home. I can say that more than twelve hundred emigrants have
80
[1866.
heard the Gospel preached by us in the past year, and many
tears were shed by them. Many were full of gratitude, and kissed
my hand if I took it not away quick enough, when they took fare
well from me. But it takes a great deal of trouble to bring them
to our preaching room. Sometimes- our members go and fetch
them; sometimes I have to do it myself, assisted by Mrs. Goess
if she can spare the time. W e are fully convinced that the work of
love will not be in vain.
S c h l e s w i g .— Brother Feldmann has not been hindered in his
labor in Flensburg and neighborhood. In the city we have now
a preaching room, the meetings are well attended, and he gets so
many invitations from the neighborhood that he cannot attend to
all. He has commenced to receive members on trial, and about
fifteen have joined, who are all converted. Our prospects are
good. W e hope Prussia will soon take possession of SchleswigHolstein, and then there will be nothing in our way.
E a s t D i s t r i c t , C. H . Doering, Presiding Elder.
B e r l i n , C. H . Doering, F JPaulus.—The work here goes slowly,
and we can only expect success when we have a suitable and con
stant place of worship. The Board and the General Committee
has nobly provided for it, and we may hope that before the close
of another year the Chapel in Berlin will be ready for service.
The Sunday-school continues to prosper. Brother Doering spends
much of his time on his district.
P o m e r a n i a , J. Staiger, JB. Schroeder.—This mission is situated
along the Baltic. Kolberg is till now the most important place.
The work was commenced in 1862, but the Lord blessed the
labor of our brethren, and it is now one o f the most successful
missions in North Germany. The missionaries have now thirteen
preaching places, but other doors are opened, and it would be
work enough for two missionaries more.
There are several
Sunday-schools.
S a x o n y a n d F e i t z , F. Wunderlich, and one helper.—This mis
sion has twenty-seven preaching places, and is divided in six differ
ent circuits, which are provided for by the preachers with the help
of one local preacher and eleven exhorters. The brethren have
had a year of peace from within and without, for the six different
Governments have laid nothing in their way. Several brethren
ha.vp. prepared chapels in their own houses; but they are in great
need o f two large chapels in the centers of the work. Saxony
is one of our most interesting and successful works. There are
only two Sabbath-schools, but about twenty children were con
verted to God. This mission should be divided next C o n fe r e n c e .
1866.1
81
E. JRiemenschneidtr, Presiding Elder.
L u d w i g s b u r g a n d B i e t i g h e i m , E. Riernen schneider, J. Locher,
F. Haerle.—The work here has been progressing; but the work
would have been much more enlarged if the clergy of the State
Church would not have hindered us. There are thirty preachingplaces and thirty-five classes. The brethren have too much work
and cannot attend to pastoral visitations as it -would be necessary.
Our dear Brother Riemenschneider has been deeply afflicted by
the death of his wife, but was wonderfully supported by the Lord
in his afflictions. I should remark that the mission has reduced
its chapel debt to three thousand dollars, without much help from
without. There are flourishing Sunday-schools on the mission.
H e i l b r o n n , jEl G-ebhardt, C. Girtanner.—A new era has com
menced for this mission. Brother Gebhardt has been forced by
the clergy to leave the State Church, and by an order of the gov
ernment he is only permitted to give the sacrament to those persons
that leave the State Church. More than one hundred and twenty
of our members have declared their withdrawal, and others follow
at each sacramental meeting. The work is prospering, and souls
were converted to God and added to the Society. Brother Geb
hardt had been laid up by the small-pox, and his house was closed
for six weeks, but the work did not suffer by it. W e have a beau
tiful chapel, and a large three-story house, but a very large debt.
The interest is mostly paid by the rent we receive. We have
very interesting Sunday-schools on the circuit.
P f o r z h e i m a n d C a r l s r u h s , E. Pucklitsch.—The work is pros
pering on the whole, but we stand in great need of a chapel in
Pforzheim. If we hold meetings Sunday afternoon in our place
of worship, in the evening the nobility of the city are playing cards
and dancing therein; and though we pay a large rent, the land
lord, a rich merchant, if we complain about not complying with
our agreement, gives us the answer, “ that we knew we could
leave at any time.” And there is no other place suitable for a
chapel to be got in the whole city. Here help is very much
needed. Brethren, help u s! We have several flourishing Sun
day-schools.
M a n n h k i m a n d P i k m a s e n s , G. Ilauser.— We are making here
slow progress, because rationalism and infidelity oppose from the
one side and pietism from the other. However, we have no occa
sion to be discouraged.

lated. Brother Raith has eight preach ing-places, and commeuced
a Sabbath-school. He has good reason to be encouraged.
F r a n k f o r t - o n -t h e -M a i n a x d D il l e n b u r g , A . JRodemeyer and
A . Baedeker.—The work in Frankfort and neighborhood contin
ues to progress slowly. If we had a commodious chapel in this
large city, there is not the least doubt that the work would pros
per much better. The Sunday-school is regularly attended.
Dillenburg is a new mission. The work was opened by Brother
Schmidt, colporteur, last year, and has been occupied since Con
ference. A class o f eighteen persons was commenced, most of
them converted. The prospects are good if we are not hindered
by the government.
Nippert, Presiding Elder.
L. Nippert, H. Gisler, J. Schnebeli.—Rev. L. Nippert, Presiding Elder, writes to Dr. Jacoby,
superintendent, Nov. 1865: “ In looking back on the past year, we
must with a grateful heart acknowledge that the Lord has been
with his work and people on this mission, saving sinners, and
adding many to our societies. The prospect for the future is a
most encouraging one. To show in a few lines the progress of
the mission, it is only necessary to compare its present state with
that of 1862.
“ W e then (1862) counted only Zurich Mission with two mission
aries, out of which has grown a District with five extensive Cir
cuits and eight missionaries. Then we reported from the whole
o f Switzerland eight hundred members, while now Zurich mission
alone counts seven hundred members. What now is embraced
by the Zurich mission showed then fourteen classes, and at pres
ent forty classes. Then three Sunday-schools, now ten.
“ W e preach at eighteen appointments every week to about two
thousand four hundred hearers, and administer the sacrament to
one thousand two hundred communicants. Prayer and classmeetings have been attended well by our members. Although
times have been hard and money scarcc, rent and provisions high,
yet our collections for every branch of the work have been good
and satisfactory. Methodism is gaining ground in the Canton of
Zurich; and we look and pray for a still more powerful outpour
ing of the Holy Spirit.”

W i n t e r t h u r , G. Bruns.— At the last Conference St. Gallen
and Schaffhausen were separated from this mission ; still it is large
enough, for it has seven appointments. The work continues to
prosper, and at the last quarterly meeting, seventeen persons

were received on trial. There are five Sunday-schools on the cir
cuit. On the fifteenth of December Brother Bruns lost his wife, a
dear, faithful soul, a fruit of our Hamburg Sunday-school.
U s t e r , H . Gerdes.—The work continues to prosper, but our
prospects for Uster itself are very flattering when onr new chapel
will be finished, which we expect will be done next April. Though
a part of the work has been added to Winterthur, there are still
seven appointments. W e have flourishing Sunday-schools on the
circuit.
S c h a f f h a u s e n , A . Sulzberger.—W e commenced only about two
years ago to hold meetings in this place and neighborhood, and at
the last Conference it became a mission by itself. The Lord is
blessing the preaching of the Gospel, and souls have been converted.
Our prospects are very good. The health o f Brother Sulzberger
has been very feeble through the whole year, and we were obliged
to send him an assistant. W e have a good Sunday-school in
Schaffhausen.
St. Ga l l e n , J. Messmer.— The inhabitants of this canton are
half Protestants and half Romanists. There have been laid great
difficulties in our way by the authorities of the small towns ; but
as religious liberty exists, we could not be hindered. Our mission
ary has been persecuted, and his life was several times in danger.
The Lord has protected him so far, and he feels himself safe under
the protection of his God. The work continues to progress, and
we have reason to be encouraged. There is a flourishing Sabbath6chool in St. Galleu.
W e s t S w i t z e r l a n d D i s t r i c t , W. Schwarz, Presiding Elder.
B a s e l a n d L i s t a l , H. Nuelsen, J. von Oesen.—These two mis
sions were again united. The work continues to prosper, though
there have not been so many conversions as the year before. The
Sunday-schools are in good condition.
B i e n n e a n d C h a u x d e F o n d s , W. Schwarz.— The work is
prospering, and since Conference twenty persons joined on trial.
The missionary has "his hands full; and as there is room enough for
enlarging the mission, he will soon get an assistant. Our Sundayschools are well attended. Chaux de Fonds is a French town of
eighteen thousand inhabitants, but among them are at least four thou
sand Germans. Our labor here is very necessary; but as it is too
far from Bienne it should be a mission by itself, mote so as there
are many Germans in the neighboring villages.
E mmenthal , JEJ. Diem.— Our prospects are better than ever be
fore, and we may expect a fruitful year.

also on the east side of Canton Bern, near Freiburg, but it is a
very difficult work here, especially in winter. The snow is very
deep in the mountains, and the people very poor. But they need
the Gospel, and rejoice that we come to them. The people walk
live miles through the snow to attend our meetings. Our Sun
day-school in Langenau was closed by the authorities ; but as a
young examined teacher belongs to our Society, she could open it
again. It is well attended.
L a u s a n n e , E. Mann.— We have here a wandering German
population, so that twenty members have left since Conference.
W e can never expect to get a large Society here, but our mission
aries are saving many souls who would be lost even among a re
ligious community understanding not the language. The mission
ary reports that he has visited more than three hundred Germans
that lay sick at the hospital. Three of our students were con
verted at Lausanne.
M is s io n I n s t i t u t e : Dr. W. F. Warren, Theological Tutor;
Christian Riemenschneider, Classical Teacher; C. W ise, Assistant
Teacher.—The usefulness o f our young preachers, of which twen
ty-two were educated in the Institute, prove that the Lord is bless
ing this very important part of our work. Thirteen young stu
dents were present at the commencement of this Semester. One of
them we had to send to Shaffhausen to support Brother Sulzber
ger, who is in feeble health. The house, only thirty-two by forty
feet, has become too small, and the Trustees have resolved to
build next year. The members o f our Societies have continued
to support us liberally. Our B ook Concern, with printing-office
and bookbindery, the two latter now under the oversight of
Brother P. Schweikhert, who was a student of the Institute, but
not strong enough to go into the work, continue to prosper. We
have finished a German Bible Concordance, which will give as a
name among the publishers in Germany.
T h e A m e r ic a n B ib l e S o c ie t y continues to support us liberally,
and we request the Board to acknowledge to them our gratitude.
We received also the support of our Tract Society and the SundaySchool Union, for which we are thankful. W e were unable to con
tinue these branches o f our work without the liberalities of these
Societies. Also to the Religious Tract Society in London we owe
much gratitude.
It will show the worth of our publications if I inform you that a
new established Lutheran Tract Society in Sweden has translated
many of our tracts.
Before I come to the conclusion o f my report, I have to mention
lSr.fi.]
85
a great difficult}" we have to struggle with. W e need chapels ;
they should not only be built, but they have to be built. If we do
not get help, the societies will be so entangled with debts that
there will be little hope for self-support. The Evangelical Asso
ciation, which has missions in Wurtemberg, raises money for that
purpose among their members in America. What shall we do?
Could the “ Church Extension Society ” not help us every year ?
Will the Board be kind enough to help us in this matter !
With great joy we hail the coming Centenary, which is the
twenty-fifth year of our service in the mission work. W e wished
to be in your midst to labor and to rejoice with our beloved breth
ren in their Jubilee. However, as our duty calls us far from you,
you may be convinced that we will earnestly pray that the Lord
may give you thousands of souls as a testimony o f his glorious
presence.
And now we recommend our work to the prayers of the Church,
and may they remember us if they bring their sacrifices of gratitude
to the Lord.

Our missions in Africa are all on the western coast. They
exist in the form o f an annual Conference composed entirely
of colored men. They extend from Cape Mount on the north
to Cape Palmas on the south, a distance of some six hundred
miles, and into the interior from fifteen to fifty miles, the
furtherest point inland being Carey ¿burgh. They cover the
whole of the Republic of Liberia. Within our limits there are
perhaps one hundred and fifty thousand natives residing or
rambling about. Our mission has access to many of them, but
their restless, wandering, barbarous life is very unfriendly to
missionary success. Still the preceding scheme of appoint
ments indicates the missionary force in the field. To this force
is to be added the teachers o f the mission schools.
88
[1866.
As tlie Conference meets in January, we cannot have as late
information for our annual report as we could wish.
But the
following report, from Rev. J. W . Roberts, is made for the
Conference after it had adjourned, and represents the work
for 1864. The general correspondence of 1865 indicates in
creased efficiency in the work. Even after the loss o f Brother
B. Wilson and Brother "Wilkinson, there is a stronger staff of
efficient men than heretofore. Rev. J. W . Roberts reports as
follows to the Corresponding Secretary:
M o n r o v i a S t a t i o n . —This station still maintains its position as
the central point o f the mission. It continues to be self-supporting;
and the Church exerts its quota of influence upon the community,
under the untiring labors o f Brother Wilson, (up to the time of his
death,) and Brother Whitfield. Also the gratuitous labors of a
local brother (White) are invaluable, and prove a great auxiliary
to the spiritual interests of the Society. During this year the
Church has been refreshed by a revival of the work, and some ad
ditions were made to its numbers. The Sabbath-school is well
attended and in a healthy condition, performing well its mission to
the youths. Of the Monorovia Seminary I have written in another
communication. It exists, but has greatly depreciated in influence
¿and effects.
R o b e r t s ’ P o r t C i r c u i t .—Here we have an interesting Society
under the care of its faithful pastor Brother J. Gross, whose labors
during the year have been owned and blessed of the Lord, to the
increase o f numbers to the Church. The native school of girls
was disbanded during the year, Mi^s Lyons, the teacher, having
left. The day-school taught by Francis Gross is in successful
operation, having some twenty-five pupils. Brother Gross, the
preacher, has found time occasionally to visit the natives several
miles in the interior and preach to them, and reports a very favorable
reception and disposition on the part of the natives to have a mission
Btation established among them. The establishment of a perma
nent mission station is contemplated among the Veys as soon as
a proper location can be fixed upon. The Church edifice is a sub
stantial stone building, the only mission property on the circuit
at present. For the numbers connected with church and schools
see statistics.
M a r s h a l l C i r c u i t . — Since the last report the members in
society on this circuit have more than doubled. The majority are
aborigines. This circuit embraces a new native village, called
Mount Olive or “ Christian Village.” (It is composed of some sixty
1866.]
A FR ICA.
89
inhabitants of adults ; nearly all, if not quite, are members of the
Church.) Some account of this work no doubt Brother Wilson
gave you last year. This village is some ten or twelve miles in
terior of Marshall. There is a commodious chapel of native struc
ture erected in which divine service is regularly held. One of the
preachers in the circuit took a tour of some forty miles interiorward, in company with one of the native brethren, an exhorter, and
reports favorably for the progress of the gospel if sent and sus
ta in e d among the natives in that section.
Brother Wilson during
the course of last year had in contemplation, and to some extent
procured materials for, the erection of a commodious frame build
ing in Mount Olive for the accommodation of the preacher, and
which I purpose prosecuting to completion. The native work at
this point increases in interest, and is destined to extend far into
the interior. It merits sustaining. During the year a Sabbath
school was established and does well.
St . P aul R iv e r C ircuit .— On this circuit there are four regular
preaching points among the more civilized, and occasional services
at a Congo village.
The places embraced are Clay Ashland and
Virginia on the north side o f the St. Paul river, Low er Caldwell
on the south side, and Newr Georgia on the Stockton Creek. From
Clay Ashland to N ew Georgia, the extreme points, is a distance o f
some nine miles. The Church on this circuit during the year was
blessed with a gracious revival, in which some forty persons pro
fessed religion and some thirty o f them united with our Church,
mostly Congoes. W e have tw o commodious brick churches on
this circuit and one small frame chapel; at Virginia we have barely
an apology for a church, the old edifice being in a s.tate o f dilapi
dation. Efforts are being made to erect a new building. The
want o f money makes slow progress; we hope to succeed. There
are four Sunday-schools in good condition, one at each point. W e
have no day-schools on this circuit, a fact much to be regretted,
as there are scores o f children grow ing up in ignorance. Statistics
furnish numberB and value o f church property.
M i l l s b u r g h a x d W h i t e P l a i n s C i r c u i t .—The nucleus of this
circuit is Millsburg settlement, at the head of navigation on the St.
Paul river. Within a few years the population has greatly de
creased in this settlement, but families settling in the vicinity on
each side of the river furnish a good congregation in church on
the Sabbath on ordinary occasions. The Society has been revived
during the year, and some additions made. The Sabbath-school
is healthy and prosperous. (See statistics.) The White Plains
Seminary has been in operation during the year under Brother
90
[1366.
Nathan E. Dixon. It is not of the same type, if the expression is
admissible, it was some years previous, that is, a boarding institution.
Could it be restored to .its original purpose it would prove bene
ficial to scores, and no doubt to the Church here in days to come.
A change is contemplated, as other communications show. O ur
beloved and zealous Brother Croker, missionary at this point, begins
to feel the weight of years and long service. His strength has
materially abated, yet he is persevering.
The mission property consists of the brick church in Millsburg,
a commodious and strong building; the old walls (roofless) of the
house formerly occupied by Mrs. Wilkins; the parsonage and
seminary building in White Plains. Statistics show the value of
the above.
N e w G o l a h M i s s i o n —Brother W. P. Kennedy, our missionary,
has labored in this special field this year; his labors have been in
terrupted by petty wars in that section among the natives, so that
little or no success is reported. He is not discouraged, but antici
pates flattering prospects after a settled peace among the tribes.
C a r e y s b u r g C i r c u i t . —Brother Daniel Ware is in charge of
our work on this circuit, aided by one or two local preachers.
This is an interior settlement. During the year the labors of
Brother Ware have been owned and blessed. A goodly number
professed conversion and united with the Church. He has met
some opposition from those without, but is encouraged to hold
on his way. Connected with the Church is a prosperous Sundayschool, with its complement of officers and teachers. Also the
preacher, voluntarily, seeing the wants of the rising population,
opened a day school, which he kept up in successful operation to
the close of the conference year, and also found time to visit occa
sionally a small native village for preaching, some four miles dis
tant. W e have here a substantial frame church building and an
untenantable parsonage, o f which I have spoken more at length in
another communication.
N e w Q u e a h M i s s i o n . — This mission was established this year,
Brother C. A. Pitman (native) appointed in charge. I visited the
station in the latter part of the year, and was much pleased at the
site and prospects. W e have erected f o r the u s e of the missionary
a small house, mostly of native structure, with frame doors and
windows. The situation is such as to afford access by B r o t h e r
Pitman to several native towns surrounding, at a distance of some
three to five miles. There is an interesting school in operation of
some nine or ten native youths, taught by the missionary. It is
thought that the establishment of this mission on a more p e r m a n e n t
1866.]
AFRICA.
91
basis will be effectual in bringing back some of the wandering
sheep in the wilderness, who were once in the folds of the renowned
Heddington and Robertsville stations years ago, but whom a too
rigid itinerant system drove off. In Brother Pitman’s report, for
warded, he speaks for himself. A few pieces of garments for the
youths would be appreciated.
B a s s a D i s t r i c t .-—Brother W- H. Tyler is Presiding Elder.
This district comprises two circuits, Buchanan and Edina. There
are two regular appointments on the Buchanan Circuit, distant
from each other three miles. The Societies have maintained their
ordinary healthfulness, though nothing material has marked the
progress of the work. The protracted illness of Brother Thomp
son, the preacher in charge, a large portion of the year, operated
against a healthful and needful pastorate. The day school, under
the efficient tuition of Brother Daniel F. Smith, has prospered well
and done good service, and met the expectations of its patrons
here. W e regret to be informed that the services of Brother
Smith are not likely to be obtained another year. There is no
mission property on this circuit.
E d i n a C i r c u i t .—This circuit comprises three appointments,
namely, Edina, Bexley, and New Series, to which was added during
the year a native station, called “ Durbin Station,” on the Mechlin
river, some fifteen miles up said river. Brother W . II. Tyler is
preacher in charge. Brother Wilkerson was appointed by Brother
Wilson during the year to labor at “ Durbin Station,” and entered
with great zeal upon his duties. His career was short; he soon
fell a victim to the acclimating fever. During the year the Society
at Edina has been blessed with a gracious revival of religion, by
which some accessions were made to the Church. The day-school,
under the care of Brother X. G. Weaver, is well sustained and
appreciated. There is no parsonage or mission house on this
circuit, hence the necessity of renting. At our last Conference
Brother Russ was appointed to labor among the natives at “ Dur
bin Station,” and efforts are being made to erect an attractive es
tablishment at that point, of which more will be said hereafter.
S i n o u C i r c u i t .—Brother N\ D. Russ is in charge.
This is an
important point in our work; some two or three regular preaching
appointments at different places are embraced in this circuit. At
Greenville, the leading settlement, is an interesting Society; also a
day and Sunday-school. The Societies have suffered the want of
the sacraments and pastoral attention and instruction. The follow
ing extract of a letter, received just before the late session of our
Conference, from a local preacher, I submit:
92
[1866.
“ I hope, with many other of our brethren, you will use your in
fluence to give us an elder at our place this Conference. You
cannot imagine what have been our sufferings this year for the
want o f an elder . . . . W e have had two hurried sacraments this
year. I have been particularly requested by the brethren to speak
to you and others about the painful disadvantages under which
the whole Church has had to labor in Sinou this year. Give us
an elder.”
During Brother Wilson’s tour to the leeward settlements, a
short time previous to his death, he employed Brother Bolus Wat
son, a local preacher on this circuit, to labor among the natives
contiguous to Greenville. Of the extent of his labors I am not
advised. From what I learn o f his disposition and zeal for the
progress o f the Gospel among the aborigines, we can anticipate
efficient services.
C a p e P a l m a s .— Brother Thomas Fuller is in charge.
This also
is one of prominence in this mission. It embraces two regular
preaching points among the Amerieo-Liberians, and one among the
Greboes. The missionary reports favorably in a general way.
Statistics show numbers. The Seminary, under the direction of
Brother Tuning, of Monrovia Seminary, reports that institution
doing a good work. The report will be forwarded.
T h e G r e b c e s . — Brother Lawrie, native preacher and member
o f the annual conference, has continued to operate among the
Greboes in preaching and teaching a day-school. His labors are
not confined to the native villages near his residence, but he adopts
the •system of visiting surrounding native villages miles distant.
Though the fruits o f his labors beyond his school are not visible,
he patiently waits, looking forward to reap as the results of faith
ful services.
In conclusion, it would be ungrateful to omit to acknowledge
our obligations to the Missionary Board for their continued pat
ronage and support. A seeming disposition from some quarters to
question, in the general, the zeal and industry of those engaged in
this great work, tends to discouragement in some if not all. If
some o f us were followed by night and by day to various points
o f our work, under the blighting rays of a tropical sun, and heavy
dews and rain, I am sanguine some who now question would exer
cise sympathy instead ofcensure. I hope from the above you will
be able to glean a formal report for 1864.

C o n s t a n t i n o p l e .— There has nothing remarkable transpired
during the year in either branch o f our Bulgarian Mission.
Rev. A. L. Long has devoted himself mainly to the revision
of the Old Bulgarian Scriptures, aided by Dr. Riggs. This
is a work o f great importance. The American Bible Society
has asked o f our Bishops and Board the return o f Brother Long
to the United States, for the purpose of superintending the
electrotyping these new editions of the Bulgarian Scriptures.
Consent has been given, and Brother Long may be expected
in New Y ork during the current year 1866. The American
Bible Society bears all his expenses during the time he is ren
dering them the service desired. The absence o f Brother Long
from Constantinople will suspend our active mission work
there. But it is not in a condition to suffer loss by a tempo
rary suspension.
The results of our mission to the Bulgarians do not promise
sudden and large returns. Rather the silent and gradual
spread o f the truth, leavening the common mind, and prepar
ing it for the reception o f evangelical truth. This is being
done by preaching the word, by schools, by the creation and
circulation of an evangelical religious literature, and by the
circulation o f the H oly Scriptures in the common language
of the people. In all these ways, except in schools, Brother
Long has been actively engaged. The results of his labors
muBt be only preparatory to the great end sought.

region where all the creeds o f Christianity meet, and many of
the Christian nationalities also. H e carries on his mission by
preaching to German colonies in their own language, and to
the Russians and Molakans in their own language; and by
schools for bpys and girls. There have been some fruits from
the seed sown, but it can hardly be said to be an evangelical
organized Church. And when Brother Flocken was asked
by the Corresponding Secretary whether or not he was dis
couraged, and was not tempted to withdraw the mission, lie
replied with great firmness that he was not discouraged ; that
he walked by faith, and believed he should yet see the precious
fruits o f his arduous and anxious labor. W e commend our
brother and his work to the favor and grace of God.

The above list o f the force in the field shows, after the
coming o f Brother Arvenson to America, an increase the past
year of three missionaries, besides the five local preachers and
two exhorters. The general correspondence o f the year shows
a healthy condition o f the work. It is gaining in Denmark
and Norway, and Sweden now waits for our coming. But we
have not yet the man for the work. W e regret that we have
not received the Annual Report from our Superintendent, and
we can wait no longer.
The great event o f the year 1865 was the finishing one o f
the most beautiful churches in Copenhagen, designed to be
the head and home o f our Scandinavian Missions. It is called
St. P a u l’s. Those who have seen it say it is one o f the most
substantial and beautiful Methodist churches in the world. It
is built o f brick, and the walls are six feet thick at the base of
the spire, and are carried up four feet and a half thick to the
roof. These everlasting walls were required by the city an-
96

thorities. The other parts o f the building had to be made to
correspond. This increased the expense very considerably.
W e have received a front view and a side view of this
church, from H. Dollner, Esq., o f New York, who has been
very liberal in his aid to build this beautiful church in his
native city.
It was dedicated on Sunday, January 6th, in the presence,
probably, o f the most distinguished audience ever assembled
to participate in the public worship of the Methodist Church.
W e are indebted to Mr. Dollner for the following account of
the dedication, which lie received in private correspondence,
and through the public papers o f Copenhagen:
January 7, 1866.— Yesterday St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal
Church was dedicated by a solemn service in the presence of as
many people as the house could contain. Among those present we
noted the United States Minister, Mr. Wright, formerly Governor
of Indiana; the governor o f our city; several members of Par
liament, and many others. Services were opened by singing a
hymn, after which the pastor of the church, Rev. C. Willerup,
from the pulpit expressed his joy that this temple o f the Lord was
now finished, and presented his thanks to all, far and near, who had
aided in the accomplishment of the work.
After reading a portion o f Scriptures by his associate, Mr.
Rye, he dedicated the Church to the service of Almighty God, and
prayed for God’s blessing to rest upon it and upon the congrega
tion, and then prayed for the royal family, the cabinet, etc. After
another hymn, Governor Wright appeared before the altar, and in
a lively and powerful address (translated from English to Danish
by Rev. Mr. Rye) expressed the joy he felt at being present at
that solemn hour with a people who could boast of so many cour
ageous men, and from whom so many great sailors had gone out
into the world. Though language, customs, and ceremonies dif
fered so much, he hoped a unity in Christ might be obtained be
tween Danes and Americans. And referring to his own experience
of life, he explained the significance of the Scriptures as the teacher
of mankind, and as the means by which civilization had spread
ov*er the world.
Another hymn was sung, after which pastor Willemp preached
a sermon from Romans xii, 1, 2. After the sermon another hymn
was sung, then a short prayer by the pastor, then the benediction,
and the service closed by a post-ludium by the organ.

The preceding is the account which a principal city paper gave
of the dedication. Brother Dollner’s private letters give a more
particular account. From these he sends us the follow ing:
St. Paul’s Church, Copenhagen, was dedicated January 6th,
in the presence of about one thousand people, among whom
were many high officials, namely, the j,udge of the Supreme Court,
the governor of the city, some generals of the army, professors
from the University, some of the Lutheran ministers, some of the
old nobility, and the American minister, Governor Wright, from
Berlin, who obviously attracted most attention. He made a pow
erful address, translated on the spot by Rev. P. K. R y e ; and
although it lost much of its power by translation, yet it made a
profound sensation. His remarkable head, the weight of his words,
his very animated gesticulation, his clear thoughts, his sincere love
of mankind, all supported by his immovable faith in the Bible, cre
ated a deep impression, and contrasted strongly with the quiet dig
nity of the dedicatory sermon. And while the occasion will be
well-remembered for a long time to come, the presence, appearance,
and speech of our American minister will be the last to fade away.
One letter to Brother Dollner says he is an unforgetable man.”
Brother Dollner in the simplicity o f his heart writes to the
Corresponding Secretary, and says :
M y D e a r B r o t h e r ,'—Next to the good Lord I thank you for
all you have done in bringing about the building of this church,
which in time will, with God’s blessing, produce an abundant fruit,
to the glory o f his name, and to the credit of the Missionary
Society.
Since the above was made up we have received Brother
Willerup’s report, which follows :
C o p e n h a g e n *,
R e v e r e n d a n d D e a r S i r , —I
Jan. 15, 1866.
improve this opportunity to record
my grateful acknowledgment to our heavenly Father for his kind
dealing with us and this mission during the past year. I feel very
thankful to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for the privi
lege to say that the work of God is yet in progress among us.
Since my last annual report we have had many gracious outpour
ings of the Holy Spirit among us. Many have been truly con
verted, and our members generally are seriously pursuing after
more of the mind of Christ Jesus. Amid trials and opposition we
can say, and blessed be God for it! that we have experienced

that He who is for us is stronger than all those who strive to oppose us, and the ark of the Lord is advancing.
C o p e n h a g e n . — Here I labor myself, as you know, assisted by
Brother Rye, and we have reason to feel encouraged. Our labor
the past year has not been in vain. Our little hall has constantly
been filled to overflowing with attentive hearers; and we are
privileged now to say, the *same is the case in our new church,
blessed be God ! Although the number of our membership does
not increase very fast on the statistics, it is on account of the
many that are constantly leaving us, the most of them for Amer
ica. Still the number is increasing, and now since we have opened
our new church I have good hopes of greater results. We
acknowledge with gratitude the great kindness and care exer
cised toward us by the Mission Board, and our American brethren
in general, in enabling us to get up our church. Everything
goes on well3 and the best of all is, God is with us, praised be his
name!
F a a b o r g a n d B r a h e t r o l l e b o r g , Brother Sounsen, Missionary.
—Here we have but lately commenced to labor, and the Lord has
given us some souls. I think that we shall in the course of the
year have a good little Society here.
V e i l e . — Here Brother M. Nielsen labors, but he has four or five
other appointments. Encouraging success has attended the labors
o f this missionary during the past year; we have had many re
freshings from the presence of the Lord, and our last quarterly
meeting was remarkably blessed.
S v e n d b o r g , Brother Smith, Missionary.—This mission has also
been favored with a gracious visitation of the Lord. Brother
Smith’s labor has been blessed to the spiritual growth of the Soci
ety; he shows an indefatigable perseverance and energy. The
Society is yet small, but we are looking for an increase.
A a l b o r g , Brother B . Johansen, Missionary.— O n account o f the
late war we could not have regular meetings there for nearly
a whole year. Some o f our friends were taken into the army, and
o f them some were slain by the enemy. Others of the friends, as
many as could get away, went to other towns, so that the remain
der were reduced to a small number; but after the war was over
we began again our regular meetings, and the Lord has during
the last year graciously favored the mission, and we hope to reap
much fruit here.
P o r s g e u n d , Brother D oblong, Missionary.—This brother is
faithfully doing the will o f his Master, and the Lord is blessing his
labor and causing him to rejoice by giving him souls for his hire.
1866.]
SCAN D IN A VIAN MISSION.
99
The membership has increased, and they are all happy in God their
Saviour.
F r e d e r i k s h a l d , Brother Martin Hansen, Missionary.—He is a
worthy brother, a holy and zealous man, and a good speaker, and
the Society here is in a very prosperous condition. W e should
now have had a large Society here had not so many left this place
for America.
S a k p s b o r g , Brother Larsen, Missionary.—I cannot speak too
well of this good brother. He is faithfully, zealously, and success
fully engaged in the service o f his Master. The Gospel of Christ
has been the power of God to the salvation of some precious souls
in this place, so that we have continued evidence that our labor
is not in vain in the Lord. The Church is generally well filled
with attentive hearers.
C h r i s t i a n a . — Brother Steensen, preacher in charge, is at his post
laboring faithfully; and, so far as the work of God is concerned,
the prospect before us is brightening, and our efforts have been
crowned with the blessing of God. Brother Steensen was a long
time during the summer quite unwell; but he has very much im
proved in health, and is preaching successfully to a full house.
F r e d e r i k s t a d , Brother A . Olsen, Missionary.—W e have here
two preaching places, East and West Frederikstad, divided by a
river. Brother Olsen preaches in both places alternately, and we
have a fine little Society in each plaoe. Brother Larsen preaches
there occasionally, and we have good reason to believe that the
work of the Lord is prospering, notwithstanding the Society does
not increase so fast in number, which is on account of the reason
before mentioned, that not a few from here are leaving for Amer
ica. This mission has been blessed the past year with many awak
enings and some clear conversions, but this emigrating to America
is going on at a greater rate every year.
O d a l e n , Brother P. Olsen, Missionary.— W e have here a very
interesting Society. Brother 'Olsen is at hand early and late,
never sparing himself, and the word preached is making impres
sion on the people. On many other places in that district, both
hearts and doors are ©pened to receive the preacher, and three
men might be profitably employed there. I think we. shall have
a good harvest of souls. The members here are in rather better
pecuniary circumstances than most of the members in other places.
They are building a small meeting house, which is expected to
be ready for dedication next spring.
H o l a n d , T r o g s t a d , R o d n e s s , a n d E d s b e r g , Brother Bund,
Missionary.—The members here are still very earnest. There is
100
[m e.
a good turnout every time of preaching, although some are walk
ing about twenty English miles to get to the meeting-house. I
have had encouraging news from the missionary, who says, “ We
are gaining ground, glory be to G od !”
Sw eden.
G o t h l a n d , Brother Gederholm, Missionary.—This is quite a
new mission, but from what Brother Cederholm writes in a letter
just received from him, the Lord is with them in great power in all
their meetings. There is so much to do here that Brother Ceder
holm very much needs a helper, and it is to this place I wish to
send Brother Palm to assist him. Brother Palm is one of the new
missionaries mentioned in the beginning of my letter. He is a
Swede, and is well fitted to assist Brother Cederholm.
E ^ ingdalen is visited by our local preachers regularly, and
occasionally by one or other of our missionaries. It goes slowly
here, but we dare not give it up. The Lord has given us some
few faithful souls here, and we are praying for more this year.
From this report you see, dear doctor, the great work in which
your Scandinavian missionaiies are engaged; that the entire
mission in Scandinavia is in a good condition, in a healthy state,
and in successful operation. I feel to call upon my soul and all
that is within me to bless the Lord for his goodness and for his
wonderful works to the children of men. O pray the Lord to
clothe me with his Spirit, that I may be able to be more useful to
the Church than ever, laboring for the moral and spiritual eleva
tion .of the people here. Pray for me, dear doctor, and for the
mission here. Much precious seed has been sown, and we want
more of the Spirit’s influence to fructify that seed, and to cause it
to bring forth a rich and abundant harvest.
In the bonds of our faith I am truly yours,

N ot having received the Annual Report o f the Superintend
ent o f the Mission in South America, it is not practicable to
present so complete a statement o f the progress o f the work
during ¿he year, and its condition at the present time as is de
sirable, and as the Church has a right to expect.
The Superintendent, in his report for the year 1864, suggested
a plan for a very considerable enlargement o f the mission, both
by supplying more preaching and pastoral oversight to the
people o f the Camp about Buenos Ayres, and also by extend
ing the work into Santa Fe and Entre Rios, provinces of the
Argentine Confederation, the former lying on the West side,
and the latter on the east side o f the Parana river, some two
hundred miles above the city o f Buenos Ayres, the chief city
o f our mission.
The Board entered heartily into the plans and suggestions of
the Superintendent, granting him such aid from the Contingent
Fund as was necessary for the tim e; and what was then antic
ipated as a probable result has since been more than realized.
The number o f missionaries has increased from two to ten,
while but one o f the additional number, Rev. J. W . Shank,
has been sent out from this country by the Missionary Society,
and prosperous missions have been planted in several import
ant cities o f the Argentine Republic.

SOUTH AM ERICAN MISSION.

The Superintendent writes from the city o f Buenos Ayres,
under date of March '10, 1865, as follow s:
I have just returned from a tour through the provinces of Santa
Fe and Entre Rios, having been absent fifteen days. I visited
Rosario, where Brother Carter is; Esperanza, where John Andres
officiates in German and French, and where our fine new church
and parsonage are ready for the roof; and San Carlos, where Theophilus Weigle officiates in German, and Eugene S. Sauvain in French.
I also visited the three places now supplied by these three breth
ren, namely, cities of Santa Fe and Parana, and Villa de Urquiza.
All things are prospering beyond expectation. I never made
so important a visit, never settled so many foundation stones for
future success.
Again, under date o f April 4, 1865, he writes thus:
The first quarter o f 1865 closed last night with our love-feast.
We report no change in numbers except the loss o f one by letter.
Our congregations are large, the house often being quite full.
Our Sunday-school has increased in numbers. The day school
numbers over one hundred attendants, employs six teachers, and
pays its own expenses.
T h e C i r c u i t [camp about Buenos Ayres] has been occupied for
three months by Fraucis Neville Lett, who has lately connected him
self with our Church, having left the service of the Patagonian Mis
sionary Society. His mission is to the scattered English-speaking
residents in the province of Buenos Ayres. His range of travel is
as wide as four annual conferences of ordinary size, and he is very
cordially welcomed everywhere. He will reside in the camp.
R o s a r i o can hardly be overrated in importance, both as to its
future commercial character and as to furnishing a key to the
upper provinces. W e have delayed purchasing a site for a church
in the hope of obtaining one by donation; but we cannot delay
more than another week. Brother Carter occupies this post. He
has a service on Sunday mornings, and he has organized a dayschool of twelve or fifteen pupils. For the present his own
hired house in which he resides is used both for church and school.
In E s p e r a n z a Brother Andres continues his labors among the
Germans and French. The church and parsonage are so advanced
toward completion that we hope to occupy both before the close
of the year. There are many encouraging signs of progress among
this people.
S a n C a r l o s . —Brother Weigle labors among the Germans, and
Brother E. S , Sauvain amonsr the French. We own the present
104
[1866.
house of worship, but another and better one is much needed.
As the harvest was not good this year, they are repairing the old
church and school-house for another year’s use, and we are makin«the bricks for the erection o f another early next year.
In the city of S a n t a F e , and also in P a r a n a , formerly the
national capital, we have small congregations of Protestants to
whom the last three brethren regularly and alternately preach.
In V i l l a d e U r q u i z a there is a place where German immigrants
and cotton planters meet, in a rich and beautiful part o f the prov
ince o f Entre Rios. There are about forty families of Protestants
there, and during my last visit a subscription was begun for a
church. A t present the place is supplied by the brethren from
Esperanza and San Carlos.
A zul is our most southern settlement. Recently several families,
among whom we have an ordained elder and various members of
our Church, have gone there to reside. To Brother Nicholson
I have given the charge of the work as a charge connected with
this place. He preaches regularly in his own house, and for many
leagues the neighbors gathered to hear the gospel.
W e need a Spanish service in this city. Large congregations
would gather to hear the gospel in that language. W e pray for
such laborers to be raised up. W e have met in the fullness of our
hearts to ask what can be done for this object, but so far nothing
opens before us.
The American Bible Society employs two of our brethren. One
of them, but for this preoccupation, would be in the ministry
among us. They are meeting with very great success in the sale
o f the Scriptures among the people. Two others of our brethren
are in the service of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and
they are also very successful.
I do not in this brief sketch describe the openings for more labor
ers that I know of. If you could send such men as the work now call
ing demands, they could at once beiemployed in places where they
would almost from the beginning be supported on their own field.
Since the foregoing was written, the Superintendent has
visited the province o f Santa Fe for the purpose o f dedicating
two new churches, one at Rosario, and one at Esperanza.
A s one o f the results o f this visit, the Superintendent judges
it indispensable to the progress o f the work under his care to
send home in the early spring one o f the missionaries, Rev.
John Andres, for ordination; and lie anticipates a similar
necessity each succeeding year for some time to come, unless

the Bishops shall provide for an occasional episcopal visitation
of that Mission.
Concerning this visit the Superintendent writes from Buenos
Ayres, December 2, 1865, as follow s:
On Thursday, November 10, I set out for a short tour through
the nearest Argentine provinces. On board the Central Railway
steamer “ Iron King,” we arrived at Rosario on Friday evening.
Of the importance of this place for our work I have often written.
It is about three hundred miles from the ocean, and by way o f the
La Plata and Parana rivers ships of the largest class that trade at
this port can ascend to Rosario. It is the starting point of the
Central Argentine Railroad, which is to extend to Cordoba, and
forty miles o f which are completed. It is the attractive center of
a large and interesting class of immigrants, and of this whole
country it is already the second city in importance.
It is at Rosario that Rev. T. Carter has been laboring since
November 1, 1864, and our delay over Sunday was to be present
at the dedication of his new church. The ground was donated by
two gentlemen of this city, Thomas Armstrong and Edward Lumb,
Esqs., and the site could hardly be better chosen. The building,
of brick and neatly finished, is so placed that when we shall have
a fine church edifice upon the corner, and a parsonage on the
beautiful river bank, this building will stand between them, and
serve as an academy. The whole lot, about 70 feet on one street
and 170 on another, is inclosed by a brick wall, and is entered by
iron gates. The whole length o f the house is 55 feet, so that we
have an audience room of 40 feet by 30, and another room for
school purposes 30 by 15.
The dedication service was well attended, and was conducted as
prescribed in our Ritual. The whole cost of the house, grounds,
and fixtures, even to the pulpit books and the lamps, was defrayed
by subscriptions in Rosario and Buenos Ayres. W e have not yet
summed up the actual cost, but it will not vary much from
$2,800 in United States gold. So cheap is labor and most mateterials in Rosario, that in any part of the United States the cost
would have been at least one half more. The land was called
worth, in cash, $800. The whole property, worth $3,600 in United
States gold, is an admirable opening of our work, and we now have
ground awaiting a parsonage and a better church.
Brother Carter has a small but attentive congregation of forty
to fifty persons, of whom three are members of our Church, and a
few others are members o f various denominations. Accessions to
106
[1866.
the number o f English speaking people are made by immigration
almost daily. There is a day-school, a prayer-meeting, and a
Bible-class.
On Tuesday, by steamer Tala, we resumed our up-river journey,
arriving Wednesday morning at the old city Paraná, formerly the
national capital. Here are six or eight French families who are
Protestants, among whom Brother Andres holds a service once a
month. The Agent o f the American Bible Society explored this
city about a year ago, and the depot of Bibles is kept by a native
gentleman who is a Roman Catholic. The city, is said to contain
about six thousand inhabitants. W e must not lose sight of this
point.
From Paraná we found a little steamer ready to carry us further
up the river, and five leagues further we reached the young settle
ment of Villa de Urquiza, where are about thirty families of Pro
testants, who, with about as many Roman Catholics, form a very
interesting and thriving neighborhood, which is making itself rich
by producing wheat, cotton, maize, butter, and cheese. I took
with me Mr. J. J. Rau, a candidate for the ministry evangelical,
and ready for any work that offered. He prepared for the minis
try at a theological school in Switzerland, and preaches in both
German and English. The people received Mr. Rau with the
greatest delight, and he will bd5almost entirely supported by them
from the beginning. Early in 1866 he will proceed to build a
church. He has commenced a regular service, and also a dayschool and Sunday-school. These people had been eight years
without a pastor, except as we occasionally sent visitors tó them.
Mr. A. L. Forrest, formerly o f Georgia, took us out for an early
gallop over the hills and through the lanes of one of the most
beautiful agricultural districts I ever saw. He was so generous as
to offer us the choice of all his beautiful grounds for a church and
school and parsonage. This he hesitated about doing, until he
was assured that we intended no uncertain work, and would allow
of no failure. The spot selected is four squares, (called there six
teen acres,) on an eminence overlooking thousands of acres of fertile
and occupied land. Another year will add a great many to the
number o f these colonists. This location is in the province of
Entre Rios.
Our next point was Santa Fé, the capital of the province of that
name, and a stronghold of the Jesuits. Here they have a college,
to which lads come in great numbers from every part of the
country. About a year ago Brother Milne, of the American Bible
Soéiety, offered the Scriptures for sale from door to door in all this

city of six thousand inhabitants. W e have now a weekly service
in the place, using alternately the French and Spanish languages.
Thus far it is in a private house, but we are about to rent a hall
for the purpose.
At Santa Fe we left the river, and at nine leagues’ distance
found San Carlos, a settlement of Swiss farmers, among whom are
sixty families of Protestants, and a somewhat larger number of
Roman Catholics. Here remain the two pastors, evangelical men,
who came to this country with these colonists. A year ago we
obtained here a good site for building, and after receiving the
formal application for membership in our Church on the part of
these pastors, we aided them in their support with a small appro
priation. W e purposely delayed their formal reception in order
that we might first place in their hands our forms of doctrine,
government, and ritual in their own languages, German and
French. The year has not termipated just as we had hoped, chiefly
for want of one who had the ability and could reside near enough
to fill, toward them, the office of presiding elder. But as our work
at San Carlos has not yet terminated I cannot report fully. W e
hope still to occupy that inviting field.
Our next journey lay through an encampment of Indians, who
are called “ tame,” and, supported by the government, are settled
down as a garrison, doing (very un) military duty. They are not
far enough redeemed from native habits to work regularly at any
mechanical or agricultural labor. A cordial letter of introduction
from the governor of the province secured us great attention.
They have a good brick church, (Roman Catholic,) and a schoolhouse. There are six hundred persons here, nearly all the lineal
sons of the pampas.
We reached the end of our journey at Esperanza, about ten
leagues from San Carlos. At this point the general government
made its first experiment of colonizing Europeans on the pampas.
The settlement was made about ten years ago, and occupies thirtysix square miles.
The people are chiefly from Switzerland, but some are from Ger
many, France, Italy; and one gentleman colonist is a graduate of
Rutgers College, and a member of the New York bar.
A t the close of our week of prayer in 1864 a gentleman came
as a delegate from the people there to ask us to help them. As
soon as possible I visited them, and on my return home met at my
house a young man educated for the ministry, evangelical, speak
ing English, German, and French. Here was the man. For a
a year and a half he has been there working faithfully. To these
108
[1866.
languages he has now added Spanish, and he is the preacher in
Spanish at Santa F6.
On my visit last year we bought ground, and laid the corner
stone o f a church. On this visit we dedicated it. It is on the
public park, the lot. facing on two streets, and is one hundred feet
square. The church is forty-four feet by twenty, and of brick,
neatly plastered on the two fronts, and it is much the best house
in town except the Roman Catholic church. The parsonage ad
joins, and is neat, tasteful, built o f brick, plastered in front, and has
seven good rooms.
On Saturday night we called a meeting of the building commit
tee to examine the accounts. The extensions necessary, the debts
and resources, were all carefully examined, and it was so evident
that what had been done, and what was still pledged and guaran
teed, would so completely exhaust the means of the people, that I
pledged the small balance needed from the society, and the next
day the house was dedicated to the service and worship of
Almighty God, and, virtually, free of debt. The house was
crowded with a most attentive congregation, and was addressed
by Brother Rau in German and Brother Andres in French. The
prayer o f dedication was read in one part of the service in French,
and in another in German. An address to the people, which I gave
in English, was fluently rendered in German by Brother Rau, and
in French by Brother Andres. In a part of the French service
Brother Sauvain, o f San Carlos, assisted, and at the close of the
services I baptized a child, using the liturgy in Spanish.
Brother Aiidres visits occasionally another settlement about one
hundred and twenty miles further, traveling often over the track
less pampas, plunging through swamps, wading rivers, and hardly
hearing a voice on the way except the cries of apes, parrots,
ostriches, and tigers. He finds at Cayesta about twenty-five fam
ilies, so eager for the word that when he visits them he preaches
every night.
None o f these brethren connected with us are ordained. We
have not an ordained man within one hundred and twenty miles
of the nearest o f these settlements. I promised the people that
earlv next year Brother Andres should go home for ordination,
and, unless a counter order is given by you, he will proceed as
early as possible after February 1, 1866.
The dedication at Esperanza (the Spanish word for hope) was
to me very interesting. It was the second church dedicated on
one visit. It is further west than any church has been built m
South America, starting from the Atlantic, being about five hund

red miles from the ocean. The house and ground, costing not over
twenty-five hundred dollars United States gold, were chiefly pro
vided for by the people themselves. They made the house so cheap
by some going to the forest to cut the timber, others making
bricks, and all giving labor as well as money. And then they so
heartily gave it to American Methodism, that a member of the
building committee proposed to call the people to worship by run
ning up the stars and stripes. When I advised against this they
declared that no other flag should wave over it.
We reached home yesterday, (I say toe, for my wife accompanied
me,) after twenty-two days’ absence, having traveled one thousand
miles by railroad, by steamer, by rowboat, sailboat, by boat drawn
by peons wading in the water, and again by their running along
on the river bank, by boat towed up the river by horses, and on land
by market wagon, diligence, carriage, and on horseback. With
great gratitude we returned from this wide and fruitful field to our
own little garden in Buenos Ayres.

DOMESTIC MISSION’S.
' Domestic Missions comprehend all our mission fields in the
United States and territories situated within the bounds of the
several annual Conferences. They are comprised in six dis
tinct classes, in which the Gospel is preached in as many dif
ferent languages.
1. AM E R IC A N DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
Commenced In 1 8 1 2 .
These are missions to the English-speaking people in frontier
settlements, and in destitute neighborhoods o f both city and
country throughout the land, wherever missionary labor prom
ises to raise up living and self-supporting Churches.
The General Conference, at its session in 1864, passed the fol
lowing resolution relating to Domestic Missions:
Resolved, That each Annual Conference be and is hereby required
to furnish annually to the Corresponding Secretary at New York
a report of its doings on the subject o f Missions, which report shall
specify the name o f each district, circuit, or station within its
bounds, sustained in whole or in part by said conference as a mis
sion, together with the amount of missionary money appropriated
to each respectively for that conference year.
A n earnest effort has been made to procure from all the
Conferences such reports for the year 1865 as are contemplated
in this order' o f the General Conference. A copy o f the reso
lution, accompanied with- a request to give prompt attention
to its requirements, was sent to the secretary of each Annual
Conference.
Some o f the secretaries responded promptly,
others tardily, and still others not at all. In some cases the
secretaries answered, that weeks or perhaps months before
receiving the copy o f the resolution and the request to supply
the report, they had mailed to the M ission Room s a copy of
thei/r cmnual prin ted M inutes, in which the needed information
could be found. In other cases it was said, that as soon as
their Conference Minutes were through the press a copy
should be duly sent to the Mission Rooms, etc., etc. The
1866.]
DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
I ll
o f furnishing the required information which these an
swers indicate is uncertain and unsatisfactory. To say nothing
m e th o d
of the delays almost always attending the publication of the
a n n u a l minutes o f the Conferences, it is well known that it
oftentimes turns out that matter put into the mails, and espe
cially fugitive pamphlets, never reach their destination. In
many cases where we have been assured by Secretaries that min
utes have been sent to the Mission Rooms with a view to giving the
information specified in the foregoing resolution, the pamphlets
have never come to hand. Now it is very respectfully submit
ted to all concerned, that the attempt to supply the needed
information by such methods is not “ to.furnish a report”
within the meaning of the foregoing resolution o f the General
Conference.
If the Secretary o f the Committee on Missions in each A n
nual Conference will prepare duplicate reports o f that commit
tee, setting forth the missions and appropriations agreed upon,
and hand one o f them to the presiding bishop marked,
“ For the Mission Rooms,” there will be no difficulty nor delay
in executing the order o f the General Conference, as the bish
ops will send all such papers in the envelope with their returns
to the Book Room in New York. In every case, however, in
which the Secretary does not know that the bishop has received
a copy “ for the Mission Rooms,” let him do this office the spe
cial service of sending by mail without delay a certified copy
of the report made to the Conference.

From this table it appears that there are eleven hundred
and twenty-four A M E R IC A N d o m e s t i c m i s s i o n s fostered by our
Society, and enjoying the labors o f at least an equal number of
missionaries, who receive their pecuniary support in part or in
whole from the missionary funds o f the Church.
II. IN D IA N DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
The General Missionary Committee and Board o f Managers,
at their joint meeting held in the month o f November, 1864,
adopted the following resolution, to w it:
Resolved, That the Secretaries of the Society obtain by personal
examination, as far as practicable, minute information for the use of
this Committee, at its next session, of the condition and prospects of
our Indian, Welsh, French, and Scandinavian Missions, keeping in
view in their inspections and inquiries the probability of each
mission becoming a self-supporting Church, or to what extent
each mission may be expected to provide for its own support and
extension.
In pursuance o f this resolution the secretaries visited the
several missions, and the following statements embody the re
sult o f their observations:

burgh. Population about one tbousand one hundred, of which
hundred and
reside in the north or Canadian side of
the river, and three hundred and fifty on the southern or
American side. Lands in common, with freedom of occu
pancy, as is usual. A few Have good farms, and each family
has a log house, or frame, and some of them are pretty good,
but none comfortably furnished. The people aré still inclined
to roving, and to live by basket-making, fishing, rafting, and
hunting. The great mass of these Indians are superstitious
Roman Catholics. There are not more than forty" men and
women in the Protestant party. Of these not more than
twenty belong to our mission nominally. They have no
separate, class; a few meet with the whites in class occasionally.
It is remarkable that there is no pagan party among these In
dians, the peculiar worship of the Catholic Church probably
satisfying their natural pagan superstition. There is no mission
or Sundáy-Bchool among them. AH the services of the mission
are now in English, there being no regular interpreter,
and has not been for several years. The Conference has
dropped the term mission, and calls the appointment St. Regis
simply, and the work now is in a circuit composed of fixar ap
pointments, of which Hogansburgh is one. On the minutes of
the Conference, therefore, it has ceased to be a mission.
Brothers Richey, who has once been missionary there, and
Dunning, who is now presiding elder, agree that there has
never been more than thirty members of the mission at one
tíme, and at no time more than seventy-five hearers The at
tendance has always been very irregular, sometimes heretofore
fifty to seventy one Sunday and not a dozen the next. The
mission does not now exist as a living body of Christians. In
dividuals give evidence of piety, say about three men and their
wives ; all others are nominal. The services for the Indians are
once in two weeks on Sunday morning in the church in Ho
gansburgh, and are in English by the missionary, who is a de
voted and vigorous man, and the Indians are somewhat aroused
by his preaching and visits. The Catholic Church is in the
midst of the village on the St. Lawrence; our church is in Ho
gansburgh, two miles distant from the village. Our church is
very suitable,, with a fine bell, but is beginning to decay for
want of attention. There is a good parsonage, rented to a
family, as the missionary resides on another part of the circuit.

The population is decreasing, and rapidly becoming French
from intermarriages. There is but little prospect of the
future.
DETROIT CONFERENCE.
There are two Indian Missions under the care of this Con
ference. They are both in the upper Peninsula of Michigan,
situated on the southern shore of Lake Superior, one on Tahqua-me-naw Bay, near Point Iroquois, about fifteen miles above
Saut St. Marie, and the other on Keweenaw or L’Ance Bay,
about twelve miles south of the entrance to Portage Lake.
POINT IROQUOIS MISSION.
The Indians have here a reservation of excellent land, two
townships in all, a portion of it stretching along a beautiful
gravelly beach for several miles, and a portion of it lying on a
table-land a few miles inland. They reside chiefly on a beau
tiful slope fronting the water; but the land there being too
6andy for agricultural purposes, and being poorly supplied with
timber, their fields are found on the upland where the soil is
fertile and where timber of a superior quality grows in rank
abundance. The seasons of growth are short, too short for
crops of most kinds to ripen, and their culture of the soil is
therefore restricted to growing such crops as mature rapidly.
Oats, potatoes, and hay are the chief productions. The lands
are held in severalty, each married man being entitled to eighty
acres, and each unmarried man of twenty-one years of age to
forty acres, secured by patent from the government.
Besides the lands, they have cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry,
etc.; are temperate, industrious, and economical, living com
fortably and hopefully. The missionary, who is himself an
Indian, and a gentleman of education and general culture, gave
as proof of the improvement of the condition of his people, and
their advance in civilization, the following facts: 1. They
live in houses, not in wigwams. 2. They have qhairs, and
tables, and bedsteads, and do not sit and eat and sleep on the
ground as heretofore. 3. They wash their floors every Satur
day. 4. They wash their dishes after each meaL

having been converted and admitted on trial in tbe Church at
a camp-meeting held in that neighborhood in July last.
There is a church here composed of fifty-nine members
and thirty-two probationers, ninety-one in. all, under the pas
toral care of Bey. Peter Marksman, a talented, educated, la
borious, and successful minister of the gospel to his own people.
The society has a pleasant and comfortable house of worship,
and a good parsonage for the home of their minister. They
raise among themselves money enough to meet all the inciden
tal expenses of the church, and contribute about twenty
dollars a year to the Missionary Society.
On the whole, this mission is accomplishing great good for
the people to whom its labors are addressed, and the church at
large should thank God and take courage.
KEWAWENON MISSION.
The reservation for the benefit of this band of Indians com
prises two townships of land, situated on a beautiful slope
east of L’Ance Bay, with about three miles water front. This
land is held in common, with freedpm of occupancy. It is not
bo valuable for purposes of cultivation as it is rich in promise
of mineral wealth. The civilization and general condition
and prosperity of the people are much the same as at Point
Iroquois.
This band, comprising a population of about six hundred in
all, is about equally divided in their location, on the east and
west sides of the bay, giving to our mission on the eastern
side a people numbering about three hundred souls as the field
of its toils.
The Missionary Society owns one hundred and forty acres
of land near the head of the bay, in a most beautiful and
eligible location. The church, not a very good one, and a
parsonage that ought to be enlarged and repaired, are both
built upon this property. Several Indian families are living
on these premises, having inclosed small parcels of land
around their respective dwellings, occupying in this way about
fifty aqres, leaving about ninety acres for the occupancy and
benefit of the mission, of which say twenty-five acres are
tinder cultivation.
The Church consists of fifty-five members, eight proba-

tdonerSj and on« local preacher, making sixty-four in all. They
pay for the lights and wood, and other incidental church
expenses, but are not able to give much, if anything, to the
support of their pastor.
The missionary now serving this people is Rev. George
Blaker, formerly in the service of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society in Canada. He is an Indian, was educated by Rev.
William OaBe o f precious memory, has been preaching eleven
years, and all the people, both red and white, are delighted
with his labors as a preacher and pastor. His presiding elder
represents him to be zealous and pious, and of great power as
• preacher.
GENESEE CONFERENCE.
CATTARAUGUS INDIANS.
Reserve of excellent land in Chautauque County, 1ST. Y.,
lying on both sides of the Cattaraugus Creek for several miles.
Population, fifteen hundred, of which a majority are Chris
tian Indians. The band is thought to be Blowly increasing;
There are two missions, Presbyterian and Methodist. Dr.
Wright has long been the resident Presbyterian missionary,
and speaks their language fluently.
Our mission (as well as the Presbyterian) has a very neat
and commodious church edifice, which the Indians had caused
to be well painted.
One hundred and . ninety members in the mission, and
among them two or three good local preachers, and one or
two exhorters.
The mission is joined with the Gowanda Station, and the
preacher serves the mission and the station also, the lack of
service to the Indians being made up by an excellent Indian
local preacher, Brother White.
The preacher receives his support about equally from the
Missionary Society and from the Gowanda Station.
The Indians contribute about $100 per annum toward the
expenses of the mission.
Their class and prayer m eetin gs are w e ll attended, and are
distributed through th e reservation, and led chiefly b y Brother
White, assisted b y other Indian brethren.

-
Brother White and two or three of these Indians are accus
to visit the Senecas and Tuscaroras occasionally, and
hold protracted meetings among them ; and would do bo
frequently if their traveling expenses were paid. It would
be well to pay these through the presiding elder or presiding
elders, and have the services under the supervision of the pre
siding elder.
There is some trace of paganism remaining, but it is scarcely
visible. They are slowly but certainly advancing in civiMzar
tion, and hold their lands in common.
There is a class of five or six Alleghanians who live at the
Red House, twenty miles distant, on the Erie Railroad, and
led by Brother Tuchey. This is all the religious oversight
they have. They properly belong to the Erie Conference.

MICHIGAN CONFERENCE.
There are three Indian Missions under the care of this con
ference, all in the lower peninsula of Michigan: one in ithe
central part of the state; one at Oceana, on the eastern shore
of Lake Michigan; and one on Pine River, near Little Traverse
Bay, on the Straits of Mackinaw.
ISABELLA MISSION.
This mission is situated in the county of Isabella, in the
interior of the state. The population numbers fourteen hund
red and seventy-eight, most of whom are no longer pagans,
but are nominally Christian in their religious beliefs. Of these
about one hundred speak the English language with tolerable
facility, about three hundred speak a little English, but do
not understand it well enough to receive religious instruction
through that medium, while the others know only their own
Indian tongue. There are about sixteen families living in
good frame houses, and a majority of the other families live in
comfortable log-houses, and the balance live in tents and
wigwams, and are more wandering in their habits. Those
who live in houses depend chiefly on agriculture for a sub
sistence, while the others gather a scanty support from the
avails of hunting and fishing. They are progressing slowly
though surely in the pathway to a higher civilization.
118
MISSIONARY REPORT.
[1866.
They occupy a line reservation of fuming lands, and thoBe
living in houses have more or less land, say from three to fifty
acres each, cleared off and under cultivation. Their wealth,
consists in these farms, and in personal property, such as cows,
oxen, agricultural implements, etc. Those living in wigwams,
huts, and tents are wandering in their habits, own a few ponies
and plenty of dogs, and depend on trapping, fishing, and the
chase for a subsistence.
There are two principal preaching places on this mission,
one at Chesaning, where the missionary resides, and the other
at debasing, six or eight miles distant. There are three hund
red members and five local preachers belonging to the Mission
Church.
There is one house of worship, valued at one thousand dol
lars. The parsonage is a very poor dwelling, worth not more
than one hundred dollars. There is a small farm barn on
the mission premises, worth perhaps one hundred and fifty
dollars.
The mission farm consists of one hundred and sixty acres of
well watered and well timbered land, about forty acres of
which are under cultivation. This farm, with the house and
bam mentioned above, is worth perhaps sixteen hundred dol
lars, and is the property of the Missionary Society.
The contributions of the people are sufficient to meet the
current incidental expenses of the mission, and to furnish
about seventy-five dollars a year to the treasury of the parent
society. The pecuniary support of the missionary comes
entirely from missionary funds, and it is quite probable that it
will continue to do so for a long time to come.
The following address to the Board of Managers of the Mis
sionary Society was drawn up by one of the members of this
mission, and is signed by five local preachers, three exhorters,
two headmen, two chiefs, and one steward, all Indians, and
members o f our mission. It is dated “ Isabella Indian Mis
sion, August 1, 1865,” and reads thus:
B e l o v e d B r o t h e r s , —W e, the undersigned local preachers, ex
horters, and members o f the Methodist Episcopal Church on this
mission, wish to say a few words to you in regard to our c o n d it io n
and feelings.
First. W e feel very thankful that the missionaries ever came to

us, and bring the Bible, and tell us about the Saviour of sinners.
W e believe what they told us about the Saviour. W e received
the trijith, and we repented o f our evil doings, and were blest and
happy* From that time the missionaries and teachers have
labored to learn us to read the Bible and help us in our Christian
life. The Gospel has not only made us happy in our hearts, but
it has taught us how to live so as to enjoy this life. In this re
ligion we wish to remain and hold fast as long as we live.
W e earnestly pray you to continue to send us missionaries and
teachers to teach us. 0 do not leave u s! W e will do all we can
to help support the missionaries. W e might have done better
heretofore, but our crops for some two or three years have almost
entirely failed. And our young men have been off to the war, and
several to return no more, but we will do the best we can in this
respect. W e now pray and will continue to pray to the Great
Spirit to bless you and your great missionary work. W e have
heard the report read that our old missionary, Brother G. Brad
ley, has made of our state and condition, and we feel it is all
very true, and hope you will accept it as such. We only
wish the report might the more fully explained to you by him in

When the Church considers how much good has been accom
plished by this mission, the improved condition and character
of tliis people as compared with forty years ago, the many very
happy and even triumphant deaths among them, all precious
fruit of missionary labor, when all these things are considered,
instead of being disheartened, the Church has abundant reason
to thank: God and take courage.

one at Per© Marquette and one at PentWater, both on the
pastern shore of Late Michigan, about midway of the lake.
There are one hundred and forty-two members of the Chtirch,
seventy-two probationers, and three local preachers. Religious
services are held in the government school-houses, there being
no church building belonging to the mission, llie Indians
themselves have built a very neat and comfortable parsonage,
fririch is now ;the home of the Rev. Isaac Greens&y, biiriself,an
Indian, brought to the Saviour and introduced to the holy jnin,
iatry through the instrumentality of this mission, of which he
it now the under shepherd.
Thepeople are healthy, industrious, economical, considerably
advanced in civilization, with small facilities for education,
having good school-houses and very poor schools, and yet, all
things considered, are eommendably enterprising and progress
ive. They contribute of their own means a sum sufficient to
meet the current incidental expenses o f the mission; they do a
little toward the support o f their pastor, and give something
everyyearto the cause <jf Christian missions; "but there is not
mnch ground to hope that they will at a very early period grow
into self-sustaining churches.
PINE RIVER
MISSION.
There is a population of more than a thousand Indians
within the territory embraced in this mission. But among the
same people there are two Presbyterian missions, one Congre
gational mission, and one Roman Catholic mission. The
Presbyterian and Congregational missions are not vigorous
while the Roman Catholic mission is strong and active.
There are iour preaching places in our mission. At two of
these the Indians have built meeting-houses. A t “ Sun Sun
Lake” they have built the second time. Their former house
becoming too small for their rapidly increasing congregation,
they have recently built a new house, much larger and neater
than the old. one. It is what is called a “ block-house,,” thatis,
it is built of hewn timbers neatly (dovetailed At the corners.
To secure timbers of large and uniform size some of them were
transported through the woods by the Indians a distance of
several miles. It is not entirely finished inside, but is nearly
«o, and all the work, thus far exclusively the handicraft o f these
sons of the forest, is done in a neat workmanlike manner.
DOMESTIC MISSION«.
121
No white man has contributed any thing toward the erection
of this temple o f praise, but the Indians have built it with
their own means and by their own hands. The house would
be an honor to any white congregation in a new country. The
other church is at “ Bear Creek,” and is a small log building.
This, like the former, was produced by the means and toils o f
the Indians, unaided by any one else. A nd the Society at
“ Bear Creek” have recently proposed to build a parsonage at
their own charges i f the missionary will agree to make his
home in that community.
The people are poor, many o f them very poor, and still they
from their own means meet the incidental expenses of the mission,
aid in supporting their pastor, and make a contribution an
nually to the cause o f Christian missions. They will continue
to do something to sustain the ministry o f the Gospel among
them, but they will need liberal aid for years to come. They
are yet children in all the arts and callings o f civilized society,
and it will require years o f patient pupilage before they become
men in these regards.
Most o f the families, haring abandoned their roving habits,
are settling on the lands given them by the government, and
are turning their attention to agricultural pursuits and other
useful employments.
The religious character o f the members o f the Church is
good. They are zealous, earnest, consistent Christian people,
loving and observing the means o f grace, and fulfilling their
religious duties with commendable constancy. In their lovefeasts, class meetings, and prayer meetings, every moment
from the opening to the close is fully occupied. In a lovefeast held as a closing exercise at the camp-meeting on Pine
river in August last, in the space o f forty-five minutes seven
ty-seven persons spoke on the subject o f their personal religious
experience.
These people are patriots as well. This mission, and all the
other Indian missions o f Michigan, were represented in the
noble army o f the Union. Some o f their numbers went forth
to return no more to the altars hallowed by their penitence,
prayers, and conversion.
They fell in the conflict, and are
now sleeping in honorable and honored graves on the battle
fields o f the republic.

MISSIONARY REPORT.
[I860.
ONEIDA CONFERENCE.
ONEIDA INDIAN MISSION.
Situated on a reserve of good land a few miles from Oneida
village. Population about two hundred. A few of them
tinctured with paganism ; and these occasionally resort to the
C|nondagas, near Syracuse, to participate in pagan rites, par
ticularly in the annual sacrifice of the white dog.
There are eighty-eight members and probationers in the
mission, of which forty-five are Indians, in proportion of men
to women about as in white churches.
The missionary preaches in English always, except on some
special occasion when the Indians desire to hear the important
matter in their own language. Then some one interprets.
But all the services might as well be in English, and all might
meet together in the English Church, were it not for the mutual
prejudice of the Indians and whites. The neat church for the
white people is between the two school-liouses where the Indi
ans meet for service each Sunday morning alternately, to hear
a sermon from an excellent Indian brother by the name of
Cornelius. I did not see this brother, as he was absent on a
visit to the St. Regis Indian Mission.
The missionary, Rev. G-. Smith, preaches to the white con
gregation at 11 o’clock, A.M., every Sunday, and at 2 o’clock
P.M. he preaches to all the Indians alternately in the two
6chool-houses already mentioned. They are about two miles
apart; the church for the whites being about half way between.
The mission is composed of two distinct parts, the white
congregation worshiping in the church, and the Indian con
gregation worshiping in the school-houses alternately.
Brother Smith receives only one hundred and fifty-five dol
lars missionary money, and Brother Cornelius fifty-five dollars.
The congregation of white people make up Brother Smith’s
salary to five hundred and fifty dollars.
The schools in the reserve are at the expense of the state.
No Sunday-schools.
Several excellent missionaries have gone out from this Oneida
mission to other Indian communities in the United States and
Canada.
There is no prospect of an increase of Indian population, or
of Indian thrift, and the Indian mission is rather a matter of

benevolence than a true Gospel mission. It gradually tends
to extinction. Yet while it is carried on the missionary onght
to be reasonably comfortable, which is scarcely the case now.
The mission must still be composed of whites and Indians
as now, in order to execution.
ONONDAGA INDIAN MISSION.
The reservation is within seven miles of Syracuse, and is
four miles square. It is the property in common of the Indians,
each member of the tribe having the right to the use of as
much land as he can cultivate, and the right to sell his im
provements and right of use to any lands in his possession by
cultivation. This is the rule of property in all the Indian
reserves in the state. Every family nearly has a small amount
of land, with a small log or frame house, and a few families
have good farms moderately worked. But the cultivation is
very rude, and done chiefly by the women. I saw but one
man at work in the fields. They frequently hire themselves out
to the white people in harvest-time, and thus get a little money.
The above remarks are applicable to all the Indians I saw.
Population three hundred and fifteen in all on the reserva
tion, divided into pagan and Christian parties, the pagan
being the majority. No member of a pagan family belongs
to fce mission, and but rarely is seen at Christian worship.
Pagan and Christian Indians intermarry occasionally. The
pagan party have revived their pagan rites and wild dances
in the council house. There is no appreciable improvement in
the tribe, either civilly or religiously, but a gradual decay in
activity and numbers. They will die out. Church members,
fifty on the record, but only about thirty visible and active.
The missionary has two charges : the Indians on the reserva
tion, who have a very good frame church with an excellent
bell; and a small white company on the hill that bounds the
reservation on one side, numbering thirty members. He
preaches to the Indians in the morning of each Sunday, and
on the hill in the afternoon.
Revenues. —The support of the mission is derived almost
entirely from the Missionary Society, which gives Brother
Brown, the missionary, three hundred and fifty dollars; inter
preter, fifty-five dollars j presiding elder, twenty dollars.

The women ¡and children understand bnt little of English;
the men tmderstand it pretty well. One school taught in
English at the expenBe of the state. The children read the
words, biit do not well understand what the words mean ; as
one may read Latin and not understand it.
The Wesleyan Methodists have a mission of fifteen members
among these Indians, and a small church, and an appointment on
the hill. They have expressed a wish to discontinue their work.
As other Indian missions, this one does nothing toward
the support of the mission. I endeavored to make them sensi
ble that it was their mission, and they ought to aid in support
ing i t ; but I elicited a favorable response from but one man.
The work is one of benevolence, but not a Gospel mission.
There are two bands of Indians living within the bounds of
the Genesee Conference, where no missions have been estab
lished by our Church. In relation to these tribes the following
facts were ascertained, and supposing they may be matter of
interest to the Church they are inserted in our Annual Report:
TUSCARORA INDIANS.
Reservation in Niagara county, New York. Population stated
by some to be three hundred, and by some to be four hundred;
the weight of evidence is in favor of three hundred Tuscaroras.
The pagan party scarcely has an existence.
The Baptists and Presbyterians have long had a mission each
among the Tuscororas. The Baptist mission is said to be doing
well. The Presbyterians are nearly disbanded, and sixteen mem
bers have applied to our preacher at Pekin, and to Brother Ripley,
Presiding Elder, to form them into a mission, and take charge of
them. The remainder of the Presbyterian mission do not come,
but do not oppose. Their church has been unoccupied for some
time. They seem to be discouraged, and to have abandoned their
mission.
As the preacher at Pekin, Brother Parsons, was not at home, I
could not learn what had been done toward establishing a mission
among them. Perhaps the action at the Genesee Conference may
determine the matter. I could not ascertain that we had ever had
a mission among the Tuscaroras. Two schools in English, at ex
pense of the state. Scarcely a pure-blooded Indian among them.
Cultivation quite good, but inferior to whites. I had a long con
versation with one of the chiefs, a very intelligent man, not more

m
than a quarter blood Indian, from whom I learned that his tribe
was anxious to improve in agriculture; were very much attached
to their reservation, but had an impression that the state was
anxious to buy it of them by a forced sale. He said they would
never leave it, but defend it with their lives. He seemed to be
u n d e r an impression that the proposition to establish a Methodist
mission sprang somewhat from a feeling of rivalry in regard to, the
Baptist mission.
TONAW ANDA SENECAS.
Reservation near Niagara Falls, containing seven thousand five
hundred acres, four thousand of which is still in wood. Population
in all six hundred and fifteen, with twenty-five Cayugas and ten
Oneidas. Two schools in operation, taught in English at the ex
pense of the state. Women and children do not speak English.
Divided into pagan and Christian parties, two thirds being pagan
and one-third Christian. Pagans occasionally worship with the
Christian party.
There is a Methodist class which has no visible connection
with the Church, their names not being on any Church record.
Two or three visits from the Cattaraugus Indian Mission lately have
revived the religious interest somewhat among those Indians. But
these visits are not directed or superintended by the Church, yet net
adverse to the Church. They raise the question of placing all the
Indian Missions in the state under the supervision of one presiding
elder, to be served by. missionary visits, say from the Cattaraugus
band to the Tonawanda Senecas and to the Tuscaroras, and from
the Oneidaa and Onondagas to the St. Regis band. I look .favor
ably on this suggestion. These Senecas are improving in farming and in housekeeping.
Their dwellings are better and neater than in other bands, and
their lots of land are better cultivated. Some of them have good
farms, and would have larger and better if their, young men could
be hired and depended on for labor.
The Baptists have long had a mission among these Indiana,
and have a church. But the members have decreased to fifteen,
and the mission seems to have died out nearly.
As we have, no mission here, there is no appropriation; and
I visited these Indians, and now make this report, because I learned
that it was probable that the General Conference might extend its
pastoral care to those decaying people, and ask the Committee
for aid.
There are sixteen chiefs ip this band of six hundred and fifteen

WISCONSIN CONFERENCE.
O N E ID A
M IS SIO N .
This mission is situated about eighteen miles north of the
city of Appleton, in the state of Wisconsin. The Indian
population among whom it is established, and for whose benefit
it is sustained, numbers about one thousand persons. They
are living on a government reservation of excellent land about
twelve miles long and, eight miles wide. They are advancing
slowly yet surely in the road to a higher civilization. Their
dwellings are comfortable, some of them built with much taste
and neatly painted. They are chiefly engaged in agricultural
pursuits, living on farms well stocked and well cultivated.
The Mission Church is composed of one hundred and twelve
members, thirty four probationers, and five local preachers,
making in all one hundred and fifty-one communicants.
The mission has a very comfortable and commodious church
edifice, and a good and -convenient parsonage, with about
seventeen acres attached. A portion of the support of the
missionary is contributed by the Chureh, but by far the larger
portion comes from the treasury of the Missionary Society, and
must continue to do so for some time to come.
INDIAN MISSIONARIES.
From the report just made by the Commissioner o f Indian
Affairs, we take the following tribute to the Christian mission
aries among the Indians:
There are fifteen missionaries employed among the Michigan
Indians; of these, five are of the Methodist Episcopal Church, six
Catholics, two Presbyterians, one Wesleyan, and one Congregationalist. That their labors have been productive of great good
is beyond question, and must be evident to all familiar with our
Indians. More than any, or all other persons, perhaps, they have
contributed to the suppression of intemperance and its kindred
vices, and to the promotion of a higher type of morality and civ
ilization among them.
For their disinterested and self-denying labors in behalf of these
people in carrying the blessed Gospel of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ to them, without which there can be no real civiliza
tion, and which furnishes to us all the best consolations for this

life and the brightest and only hope for that which is to come,
they are entitled to, and should not fail to receive, the sincere grati
tude of every true friend of this unfortunate race.

on the others were paid off a year or two ago. The titles to
these churches are in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
There are about fifty families, containing say one hundred
and fifty men, women, and children. There are sixty-two
members and two probationers. There are three Sundayschools, two o f them Union, and one composed wholly from
one o f our Churches. The adults all read Welsh, the children
use English.
The adults understand and speak English very imperfectly,
and could net well understand English preaching if they
would, and would not attend English preaching i f they could
understand. They are unwilling to lose their nationality by
losing their language.
The Welsh are excellent citizens, and the W elsh population
»bout holds its own in the mission.
The missionary, Brother T. Thomas, receives seventy-five
dollars missionary money, and the mission gives him two
hundred dollars, making in all two hundred and seventy-five
dollars. H e has a wife and four children, and has to keep a
horse and use a buggy.
The mission contributes twenty-five dollars to the general
missionary treasury, and fifteen dollars to. the Bible cause.
The ability o f the mission is stationary.
Brother Thomas complains earnestly o f the want of support
from the Missionary Society, and says he feels that it is a
wrong done to him. H e is obliged to resort to his trade to
enable him to live. H e complains bitterly that the Missionary
Society refuses to pay his removing expenses to Ohio, (one
hundred and fifty dollars,) and vehemently insists on its being
paid without delay. He also remonstrates strongly against
being wronged at his age by the withdrawing from him sup
port from the Missionary Society. , Considered in. itself, his
case is a hard on e; but in regard to the work, it is scarcely
missionary work properly. It is a ' benevolence shown to a
brother and to a.fesr Welsh people.

their use in the city ; namely, two Congregational, one Baptist,
one Oalvinistic Methodist, and one Methodist Episcopal. Our
church is free from debt, and is worth two thousand five
hundred dollars. Forty-five members, whose average piety
and morals compare favorably with the other Protestant
Churches.
The children and young people speak and well understand
English. The men understand the English quite well, but speak
it quite imperfectly, except a few, who speak it well. But the
English is not sufficiently understood to discontinue the mis
sion with a view to distribute our people among our English
Churches. And if we attempt it, they will generally go to the
Welsh Congregational churches where their own language is
used.
Of the two thousand resident in the city, two hundred are
believed to fall under our religious instruction and care. Re
cently the increase is satisfactory in congregation, church, and
Sunday-school.
The Rev. H. Humphrey is pastor, and is a devoted and faith
ful man. The mission contributes one hundred and fifty dol
lars toward his support, the Missionary Society gives one hund
red and twenty-five dollars, a donation part}’ gave one hund
red and sixty-two dollars, and Brother Humphrey renders
service in a store about the half o f each day, and thus is
enabled to live and serve his people.
After consultation with Reverend Brethren Olin, P. E.,
D. W . Bristol, and Whedon, and with Brother Davis and one
or two other principal laymen, the conclusions reached are:
1. That this work is not strictly missionary work, such as
we would commence now with all the facts before us, but is
rather a work o f benevolence, and a gratification to the Welsh
people who receive the Gospel at our hands.
2. That the Mission tends to a condition which will justify
its being merged in our English Churches, perhaps not many
years hence;
3. Until then, the Missionary Society ought to grant them
such moderate aid as will enable them from their own resources
to keep up their organization and action as a Mission Church,
until they may be merged in our English Churches, and
not be forced by circumstances into the Welsh Oalvinistic
Churches.

a separate conference at their discretion, upon the consent of
the N ew Y ork Conference. That consent having been given,

VI. SC A N D IN A V IA N DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
Commenced in 1845.
The reports from those in the States o f Illinois, 'Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Minnesota, show thirty-two different appointments,
in twenty-eight o f which there is an aggregate population of
fifty thousand seven hundred ; and in each of the other four
there is a numerous population, the precise number could not
he ascertained. Their religious condition is very encouraging
and prosperous except in the case of those in Illinois, where
the missions have the character o f a distributive society much
after the manner o f the New York Bethel Ship Mission. This
is particularly so o f the Church in Chicago and o f almost all
our missions in the State, their tendency being toward the
States o f Iowa and Minnesota.
The Missions in New Y ork City, and at Jamestown and
Sugar Grove, Chautauque county, New York, but within the
bounds of the Erie Conference, afford the following observations:

This Mission is in Jamestown and vicinity, in Chautauque
County, New York. The population in the county is about
five hundred, o f which probably three hundred attend religious
services in the mission when they attend anywhere.
Church
members about ninety, and they have quite a neat little church
in Jamestown, and the use o f a school-house in the country.
A ll the hearers are day-laborers, except one man, a tanner.
They are an industrious and frugal people.
Population rather decreasing than increasing; and will be
merged into the American population gradually, as they cease
to speak their own language and become accustomed to use
the English. They are not now as numerous as they were five
years ago, and no prospect o f further increase by immigration,
but rather decrease by emigration to the north-west.
The missionary receives his chief support from the Missionary
Society, the people helping all they can. The support is
meager.
It is a mission o f benevolence rather than o f the Gospel, and
as such should be assisted some time longer.
SWEDISH MISSION NEW YORE.
The services are chiefly in the ship, at pier 11, and in Brook
lyn. There are five services in the week in the ship, and
three services in Brooklyn ; one hundred and twenty-five mem
bers and probationers.
The force at present employed con
sists o f O. G. Hedstrom, P astor; H. Johnson, ship-keeper,
colporteur and tract distributer ; Brother Borgeson, exhorter.
Hearers Sunday morning in the ship two hundred and fifty
to three hundred. The membership and congregation are
transient and changeable, as it regards persons; the seamen
coming and going with their ships; the immigrants for the
most part pass on to the north-west and join our Scandinavian
missions there. These immigrants require advice, sometimes
aid, and are always in need o f Christian sympathy.

VII. CHINESE DOMESTIC MISSION.
We cannot better set forth the nature and importance o f this
work than to lay before the Church the report o f a committee
appointed by the California Conference at its session in 1864,
with instructions to report at the session o f 1865.
The following is the report of the Committee as it was adopt
ed by the Conference September 25, 1865.
The Committee give the above extracts from correspondence
that the Conference may understand with what spirit the mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal Mission in China received our
communication, and the promptitude and cordiality with which
they responded to your call for co-operation in the work of evan

gelization among the Chinese on this coast. They propose to fur.
nish some publications for future distribution in this work, as they
may be advised and n&eded.
There are some fifty thousand Chinese in California and adjacent
communities. They are Cantonese, and hence only those acquaint
ed with the colloquial of Canton and vicinity can communicate
with them, however well versed in the colloquial of other prov
inces. Our missionaries in Fuhchau can nt> more converse with
Cantonese than can we who know nothing of the Chinese
language. W e cannot, therefore, expect a returned missionary to
enter this field and labor among these people. If anything is done
for their salvation, it appears to us that we who are providentially
thrown into constant association with them must do it. That
they should be suffered to live in heathenish ignorance and prac
tices among us without any effort for their enlightenment is for
bidden by every principle of the gospel we profess, and by our
solemn devotion to the high vocation o f preaching the gospel to
every, creature. Such conviction has long been realized by some
Of us. All ought to share it. The measure adopted by the Con
ference a year ago, and the practical interest evinced by our
brethren in China, must be regarded as a distinct intimation of
Providence that the time has fully come when specific measures
should be chosen and particular agencies selected for the in
auguration and carrying forward of this work.
The cases of books referred to have been received in good order,
and are at the Depository on Mission-street. In the wisest and
best manner they should be put into circulation, new supplies
should be ordered, and the work commenced should be urged on
with prayer and zeal.
The Committee having given such thought to the subject as they
have been able to, respectfully, but with diffidence, submit for the
consideration of Conference—
Resolved, 1. That we respectfully request the bishop to appoint
a missionary to the Chinese in California.
2. That it shall be his duty to take charge of the publications
forwarded by Dr. Mac! ay ; provide for their distribution; obtain
new supplies; establish schools among the Chinese at such points
as may seem advisable, and as far as suitable teachers may be
found ; preach and take up collections in aid of this work, and in
all practical ways labor for the instruction and salvation of the
Chinese.
3. That a Committee o f six, three laymen and three members of
this Conference, be appointed to fix the missionary’s salary, to have

an advisory supervision of him and his work; and that said Com
mittee report to this Conference at its next session.
4. That this Committee shall meet in one week after the close of
this Conference session, and decide what shall be the salary of the
missionary.
5. That the missionary shall make monthly reports of his labors
in this cause to this committee, which reports shall state the num
ber of schools organized as near as can be, the number of Chinese
adults and children who receive instruction, the number of publi
cations distributed, the amount received in collections or donations
for this cause, stating how much is received from the Chinese and
how much from Americans, together with any other items which
the missionary or Committee may at any time deem best to report.
6. That this Committee may from time to time publish in our
A d v o c a t e so much of these reports as the Committee and Editor
may think best.
1.
That a copy of this report and resolutions be forwarded by
Bishop Kingsley to our Missionary Board at New York, with the
earnest request that the Board will take this mission under its su
pervision and make appropriations for its support.
This report was submitted to the General Missionary Com
mittee at its late session, and after careful consideration the
sum of four thousand dollars was appropriated to inaugurate
and carry forward this work for the coming year, under the
administration of the California Conference.

THIRD CLASS MISSIONS.
T h e missions of this class are neither foreign nor domestic in
the sense of those terms as usually understood and employed
by us. They are described in the Constitution of the Mission

For convenience of administ ration, the General Missionary
Committee, at its meeting in November last, distributed the

1. MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT.
We cannot better convey to the Church the history, condi
tion, and prospects of our mission work in this department
than by giving the report of Rev. J. P. Newman, D.D., who
writes from New Orleans, February 6, 1866, to the Mission
Rooms, as follows:
The important work of reorganizing the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the Southwest has been crowned with measurable suc
cess. The Lord God of our fathers has been with us. During
the first year of our labors in New Orleans the nation was in the
midst of civil war, and during the nine months immediately suc
ceeding the cessation of hostilities our community was agitated by
political questions of the most exciting nature. Sinee November
18th, 1865, our societies have been without houses of worship.
Immediately on the receipt of the order from President Johnson
to vacate the churches we were compelled to abandon Algiers,
Gretna, and Baton Rouge, and confine our labors to New Orleans.
We jvere “ despised and rejected of men.” But the systematic
organization of the southern work by the General Missionary
Committee, and the very large and generous appropriations made
for this department, strengthened our hands, cheered our hearts,
and made us many friends.
Immediately on the receipt of this intelligence, and in obedience
to instructions from Bishop Ames and Bishop Thomson, I pro
ceeded to arrange the work for the Mississippi Department, em
bracing Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. After much difficulty
we secured two halls in New Orleans for the use of the congrega
tions which had worshiped in the Carondelet-street and Felicitystreet Churches, and where the said congregations now assemble;
and in addition to the five colored societies in this city, I organ
ized three others, which was a necessity. Knowing that the freedmen awaited the coming of the “ old Church,” I sent two colored
138

"brethren to travel through all that section of Lousiana lying on
the east bank of the Mississippi, between New Orleans and Baton
R ouge; another was sent to Thibodeaux and Houma; a fourth to
Donaldsonville, on the opposite bank of the river; and two were
employed in Texas, one in Galveston and the other in Houston.
In sending out these men I drew up the following instructions to
guide them in their important and delicate w ork:

devote themselves to preaching Christ and him crucified. They

disown party conflicts, avoid personal strife, eschew sectarian ^con
troversies, and adopt our ancient motto: ''The friends o f all; the,
enemies o f none? While directing their primary and chief atten
tion to the salvation o f men, by proclaiming the fundamental
principles and precepts o f the Gospel, they will doubtless have
opportunities of benefiting the bodies as well as the souls of men;
they will find occasion for inculcating industry, economy, and fru
gality; and will certainly promote peace and order, by urging
upon the emancipated a cheerful obedience to law, and a patient
waiting for those civil rights to which they aspire. W e trust
they will succeed in raising up Churches that shall be thoroughly

ORGANIZATION AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE MISSISSIPPI MISSION
COMirk&ENCi5.
As a part of the history of 1865, I respectfully transmit to you
a somewhat detailed account of the organization and proceedings
of the Mississippi Mission Conference, organized by the Rev.
Bishop E. Thomson, Christmas, December 25, 1865 :
SECOND CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE,
1784
AND
1865.
Proceedings o f the First Session o f the Mississippi Mission Con
ference., organize^, in New Orleans by Bishop Thomson, Decem
ber 25, 1865.
Immediately on the arrival of Bishop Thomson in New Or
leans the practicability o f organizing an Annual Conference in
the Mississippi Department was fully discussed, and after much
reflection and prayer the bishop determined to organize the Con
ference. The interests o f the work demanded that such a 6tep
should be taken, and it is not doubted that the future results will

demonstrate the wisdom o f this episcopal action.
141
Both the con
venience of the time, and the historical associations which the day
recalled, pointed to Christmas as the most fitting period for this im
portant movement.
The day was lovely, for the rigor of winter had relaxed into the
mildness of spring. To those whose minds were occupied with
thoughts other than those of solemn responsibility, the walk to the
church would have been replete with delight; but the gravity of
the occasion, and the responsibility o f the contemplated movement,
were such as to seal the lips and withdraw the attention fi-om the
outer world. Silently we threaded the narrow streets leading to
Wesley Chapel, where for years the colored Methodists have wor
shiped the living God. The announcement of the Conference had
called, together a large congregation of blacks, whose curiosity
had been awakened thereby. Ascending the high and narrow
pulpit, the bishop began the religious exercises by reading the
tenth chapter of 2 Corinthians. The 204th hymn was then sung,
and after prayer by the bishop, he addressed the audience in sub
stance as follows : “ I feel authorized to organize an Annual Con
ference in New Orleans in view of the circumstances which sur
round us, and I do hereby recognize the following brethren as
members: J. P. Newman, Joseph Welch, Nelson L. Brakeman,
and William M. Henry, elders, and H. G. Jackson, deacon.” He
then referred to the origin of our Church, its present prospects and
power, and exclaimed, “ What hath God wrought! A year ago,
about this time, I organized a conference in Hindostán, and now I
am here on this the opposite side of the globe to organize a con
ference here. Thus our Church extends her arms around the world.
On my return from India I met Bishop Janes in London, and in
Christian affection and gratitude to God we embraced and kissed
each other. He was on his way to the East, to Switzerland and
Norway ; and I on my way to the West, to meet my brethren on
the upper Mississippi. But what is our design in coming hither ?
It is not to oppose other Churches. They have their mission to at
tend to and we have ours. But why do we come here? 1. W e
have the means to do good, and this vast field invites our labor.
2. W e should aim to strengthen the government, and this will
follow the union o f the Churches of this country. 3. W e come to
you, the colored people of the South’, who were separated from us
in 1844. The opportunity is now offered you to return. Our white
brethren may not desire us, but you do. You welcome us. W e
come to you because you are many and will need our care and
help. You are destined to be a rich and intelligent people, ahd
142

your rising power should be made subservient to some benign
end.”
Rev. Dr. Newman then read from Bangs’s History of the Method
ist Episcopal Church an account of the organization of the Christ
mas Conference o f 1784, which was naturally suggested by the
day on which we met. The coincidence seemed complete. It
was the repetition o f ecclesiastical history.
FIRST DAY’S PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE.
On motion, J. P. Newman was elected Secretary, and W- M.
Henry his assistant. The following committees were then ap
pointed :
On Public Worship, H. G. Jackson and A. Ross.
On Education, N. L. Brakeman.
On Sunday-Schools, W- M. Henry.
On Missions, J. P. Newman, N. L. Brakeman, and H. G. Jack
son.
On Statistics, W . M. Henry.
The eleventh question was then taken up, and the characters of
the following brethren were examined and passed: J. P. New
man, N. L. Brakeman, Joseph Welch, W . M. Henry, and H. G.
Jackson.
Question thirteen was then taken up, What is the number of
Churches, etc. ?
Answer. Members, 2,216 ; Probationers, 476 ; Deaths, 64 ; Lo
cal Preachers, 13 ; Baptisms, adults, 145; Infants, 272; Number of
Churches, 5 ; Value of church property, $47,000; Sunday-schools,
9; Officers apd Teachers, 95; Scholars, 1,386 ; Volumes in Library,
1,476.
The following colored persons were elected to local deacon’s
orders: John Goodwin, Samuel Osborn, J. M. Bryant, Thomas
Kennedy, S. M. Small, David Dibble, Hardy Ryan, William
Murrell, Emperor Williams, Henry Green, Anthony Ross, Scott
Chinn, David Ennis, and John Campbell; and eleven of the above
fourteen were received on trial.
SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
The Conference met pursuant to adjournment. The opening re
ligious exercises were conducted by Rev. N. L. Brakeman. Re
commendations for elder’s orders were then called for, and the
following persons, having been duly recommended, were elected:
A , Ross, H. Greene, and -Scott Chinn, colored. The case of H. G.

Jackson, a deacon of the second year, was called up. The Bishop
having decided that he was eligible to elder’s orders, and the com
mittee having reported his examination satisfactory, he was elected.
Richard K. Diossy, late of the Methodist Protestant Church, having
been duly recommended by the Fourth District Church Quarterly
Conference, presented his parchments, and the Conference being
satisfied with them, he was recognized as an elder in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, he having taken the ordination vows of the
Church.
J. P. Newman called the attention of the Conference to the
resolutions of the General Conference on the Centenary of Ameri
can Methodism, and on motion the Conference provided for a me
morial sermon, to be delivered at its next session, and appointed
the following Centennial Committee: G. W . Ames, L. B. Whit
more, John Jones, (colored,) laymen; J. P. Newman, and A. Ross,
(colored,) preachers. The bishop then appointed the committees
of examination for the coming year, and appointed N. L. Brakeman to preach the missionary sermon, and J. P. Newman to preach
the Centenary sermon.
In answer to the seventeenth question, the Conference voted to
hold its next session in the First-street Methodist Episcopal
Church of New Orleans. The Committee on Education made the
following report:
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.
To the Members o f the Mississippi Mission Conference o f the
Methodist Episcopal Church:
D e a r B r e t h r e n : Your Committee on Education beg leave to
make the following report:
Believing that our success, as a conference, depends largely upon
the intelligence of our people, we would call special attention to
the importance of the subject. The Missionary Board at New
York having appropriated a large sum of money for this purpose,
we recommend the establishing of a Biblical Institute under the
following
O constitution:

education for the freedmen in this department, and congratulate
it upon the marked success which has attended its labors.
Resolved, 8. That we urge upon ministers and members within
the bounds of this Conference the importance of attending diligently
to the subject of education, and seeing that their children attend
school whenever it is practicable.
Resolved, 4. That each member of the Conference be requested
to preach at least one sermon on education to each of his congrega
tions, and call the special attention o f pious and promising young
men to our Biblical Institute.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The Conference then proceeded to the election of trustees for the
Thomson Biblical Institute, after which the ordination of deacons
took place. After the ordination sermon, by Rev. J. P. Newman,
twelve colored men stood before the altar to be ordained deacons
in the Church of God. The number suggested the twelve apostles.
In his quiet manner, Bishop Thomson proceeded with the ordina
tion service, while the whole audience, composed of whites and
blacks, were affected, some with tears, some to shouts.
On motion by N. L. Brakeman, it was resolved that the Confer
ence take measures to procure a photograph of this body, which
was carried, and an historical picture was produced, which thou
sands will look upon with wonder and delight.
THIRD DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Wednesday morning the Conference met pursuant to adjourn
ment. The minutes o f the preceding day were read and approved.
According to previous arrangements, at 9 A. M., Bishop Thomson
preached from 1 Cor. ii, 1, 2, after which the elders were ordained.
The above sermon was appropriate, pungent, eloquent, and in every
way worthy the Christian scholar and the high office which he fills
in our Church. The ordination service was noticeable from the
fact that the candidates were three colored brethren and one white
brother. There they stood side by side before the same altar, and
the same hands which were laid upon the latter were placed upon
the heads of the former. Was not this the commencement of a
new era in the South ? Immediately succeeding the ordination of
the elders, the attention o f the Conference was called to the import

Committee on the State of the Country
present the following as their report:
Whereas, God has ordained civil government, and enjoined
obedience to the powers that be, teaching us to render unto Cesar
the things which are Cesar’s, as well as unto God the things that
are God’ s ; and whereas the relation of the Church to the country
is one of vital importance, the Church needing the protection which11
the civillibertyproffers, and civil liberty, in order to its permanency *
and prosperity, the morality, justice, and Christian principles
which the Church enjoins; and whereas we deem it of importance
to go forth frond this, the first session of our Conference, with our
position and sentiments on this subject clearly defined, therefore be
it resolved,
148
MISSIONARY REPORT.
[1866.
1. That we hail with joy the return of peace to our distracted
and suffering country; that we render thanks to Almighty God for
the preservation of the union of the States, for the remarkable vin
dication of the principles of self-government, for the enlargement
of civil liberty among us, and for the blessed prospects of our fu
ture peace, honor, and glory.
2. That we recognize the mission of the Church and of the min
istry to be one o f “ peace on earth and good will to man,” and to
spread scriptural holiness over the land, and we declare our un
swerving purpose to be men of this one work.
3. That we hereby set our seal of disapproval upon, and warn our
preachers and the people against, following the example of those
ministers who, forgetting their true mission and work, lent them
selves the willing agents of wicked and designing men; who, de
serting their pulpits and appropriate work as messengers of peace,
and leaving their flocks unfolded and unfed, devoted themselves
to creating, fostering, and maturing sectional and political strife and
armed resistance to the lawfully constituted authorities of the gen
eral government; who boldly staked their characters as ministers,
and the very truth of the Bible and Christianity, upon the success
o f their fanatical schemes, thus leaving the Churches and the people,
in the hour of their discomfiture, with a shaken confidence in the
very foundations of our holy religion.
4. That we counsel the freedmen everywhere throughout the
country to banish all erroneous and strange notions, instilled into
their minds by impracticable men, concerning their own destiny
and the purpose of the government toward them; not to depend
upon the bounty o f others, but upon their own strong hands for
support. Having learned to labor and wait, we exhort them
to patient continuance in well doing; for in due time they Shall reap,
temporally as well as spiritually, the full reward of their patient
toil and suffering. W e enjoin upon them to procure at once em
ployment for the ensuing year, to remain in the country where
their services are most needed, to observe fidelity in their con
tracts, to be diligent in business, and to lead quiet and peaceable
lives in all godliness and honesty. And we say to the govern
ment and the country, that by the intelligence we shall labor to
disseminate among this people, the morality we shall enjoin upon
them, and the influence for good which we hope to exert over
them, we shall endeavor to demonstrate to all, that “ godliness is
profitable to all things having the promise of the life which now
is and o f that which is to come.”
149
1866.]
5. That we heartily indorse the following special directions
authorized by Bishop Thomson :
“ Our missionaries will go in the spirit of their Divine Master,
and devote themselves to preaching Christ and him crucified.
They will be men of prudence as well as zeal, and will be
advised to disown party conflicts, avoid personal strife, eschew
sectarian controversies, and adopt our ancient motto, ‘ The friends
of all, the enemies of none! ’ Whiles directing their primary
and chief attention to the salvation of men by proclaiming
the fundamental principles o f the Gospel, they will doubtless have
opportunities of benefiting the bodies as well as the souls of men ;
they will find occasion for inculcating industry, economy, and fru
gality, and will certainly promote peace and order by urging upon
the emancipated a cheerful obedience to law, and a patient waiting
for those civil rights to which they aspire. W e trust they will
succceed in raising up Churches that shall be thoroughly evangelical
in principle and liberal in spirit, while they are loyal to our excel
lent and beneficent government, and true to the kingdom of God.”

The following resolution was then offered and adopted:'

tendered to the trustees of Wesley Chapel for having so kindly
permitted us to occupy their church for this the first session of
our conference.
The conference Resolved to adjourn after the usual religious serv

2. MIDDLE DEPARTM ENT.
For the purposes of the report, the Middle Department com
prises a wider field than that assigned to it in the description
given in a preceding part of this report. The work comprised
within the Holston Conference, though now enjoying a confer
ence organization, nevertheless belongs to missions of the third
class, and will be administered as such till the next session of
that body, commencing May 17, 1866.
Early in the year 1865 Bishop Clark had information that
a very considerable number of loyal ministers and people
living in East Tennessee, desired to attach thdmselves to the
•Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was earnestly solicited to
visit that section of the state to receive them formally to the
fellowship of the Church. He went accordingly, and in Athens,
■Tennessee, on the first day of June, 1865, organized the Hol
ston Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
At this organization the preachers reported the following
statistics from the several charges, namely: Members, whites
5,284, colored 128, giving 5,412; probationers 695, local
-preachers 55 . total 6,162; church property valued at $31,250;
Sunday-schools, 49 ; officers and teachers, 336 ; Sunday-school
scholars, 2,425.
At this Conference the preachers were stationed as follows:

We have not received detailed accounts of the progress of
the cause within the bounds of the Conference since its organ
ization, but through the correspondence with the mission rooms,
from the bishop in charge of the Conference and from the
missionaries themselves, we have learned of a steady and rapid
growth of the Church by the accession of other pastors and
people, and also by extensive and powerful revivals of religion.
The mission work outside of the Holston Conference in this
department is arranged in two mission districts, one for Middle
Tennessee, and one for Alabama and Western Georgia. The
appointments for these districts are as follows :

3. SOUTHERN DEPARTM ENT.
This department has been under the supervision of Rev.
T. Willard Lewis o f the New England Conference, and right
faithfully and successfully has he prosecuted the work commit
ted to his care. The places occupied and the condition and
wants o f the work in this missionary department, so far as this
office has information, are as follow s:
K e y W est .— A Church o f about two hundred colored mem
bers at this plafte in the spring o f 1864. During the follow
ing summer, in the midst o f a yellow fever epidemic, they erect
ed a church edifice at a cost o f $2,300, and raised the funds
entirely among themselves.
St. A u g u s t in e , F l o r id a . — The little Church and Sabbathsehool in this ancient city are composed wholly of colored
people, and are well and profitably served by Rev. G. Greeley,
of the Maine Conference. There are forty-five Church mem
bers, and eighty Sunday-school scholars.
1866.]
158
F e r n a n d in a , F l o r id a
Rev. J. E. Emerson, o f the New
Hampshire Conference, succeeded Rev. J. A . De Forest at this
place about the 1st o f April last. His mission has been
very acceptable to the people, and has been crowned with
success.
J a c k s o n v i l l e , F l o r i d a .— This mission was commenced in
1864, and has been a source o f great good to the colored people
especially o f that place and vicinity. The missionary reports
seventy-two members o f the Church, and one hundred and
ninety-six Sunday-school scholars.
M i t c h e l l y i l l e , S. C.— Lyman A . Anders, a colored local
preacher, is laboring here. He is employed as teacher in the
Freedmen’s A id Association, and is a “ Trial Justice” in this
large contraband colony. The superintendent says of him ,i: he
is doing all in Mitchellville that any other missionary could do.
He has a Church o f about fifty members, and a flourishing little
Sabbath-school.
B e a u f o r t , S. C.— Under date o f October 11, 1865, the mis
sionary writes to the Mission Rooms as follows:
B e a u f o b t , S. C., October 11, 1865.
I suppose you are aware that we have no church buildings
that may not be taken from us at the option of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. Also that it is impossible for us to build
churches without means, which the people here have not got.
Daring the warm season I found it necessary to limit my opera
tions to Beaufort; since the middle of September I have extended
my labors to other points. These people are so degraded, igno
rant, and childish, that a small city of them furnishes a great
amount of labor; and they require their teachers to remain con
stantly with them, or, like the Israelites when Moses was on the
mount, if left to themselves, they soon make to themselves idols
and return to their old follies.
I have secured permission to preach in a good school-house,
soon to be finished, one mile from Beaufort. I have explored
twenty-five miles inland on the Combahee river, and find a
church built for negroes that will seat four hundred, but it has no
stove nor windows. The people are just coming back to this dis
trict, but there are about fifty members of the Methodist Episco
pal Church there now. At my next appointment there I will
organize them into a Church.

They will accommodate seven
A t Beaufort I have two hundred, at school-house I expect one
hundred, and at Combahee I think there will be four hundred as
an average attendance.
A t Beaufort there are fifty-five communicants and twelve proba
tioners. I think there are at least one hundred at the other places.
Have no day-school, but superintend all the schools in Beaufort
District. Am. appointed Superintendent o f Schools by the Freedmen’s Bureau, and Superintendent of Teachers by the National
Freedmen’s Christian Association.
Have one Sunday-school, with twelve teachers and two hundred
scholars, in Beaufort. The church is full.
Fifteen children and twenty-five adults include the attendance
o f whites ; the latter are not constant.
Comparatively little can be done here during the hot months,
and it is dangerous to go from place to place a distance of twentyfive miles until after the autumn frosts begin.
C h a r l e s t o n , S. C . — W e cannot better set forth onr mission
work in this city o f the South than by inserting here an extract
from a communication to the Mission Rooms from Brother
Lewie, the superintendent o f the mission.
Under date o f October 20, 1865, he writes:
■I desire to call special attention to the importance of fostering
loyal Methodism in this city, as from this point we must enter the
interior and the surrounding islands. In a word, make it the
“ base” o f operations in this vicinity. I have confined my personal
labors to Charleston since it fell; corresponding with, but not able
to visit, the Florida charges. The course I have pursued here will
be indicated by the following extract, which appeared in the
Charleston Courier of June 1.
I entered this city soon as possible, after its capture by the
Union forces, to do the work assigned me, which was to take
possession o f the Methodist Episcopal Churches South, organize
the members who desired it into Methodist Episcopal Churches
without distinction o f color, and promote the means of grace pe
culiar to Methodism. After several days’ effort, a majority of the
official white members in the city met and passed the following
resolutions without a dissenting voice:
“ That whereas our pastors have all left the city, we welcome
among us, as preacher in charge, the Rev. T. W . Lewis, a regu

larly appointed missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church to
this military department, by Rev. Bishop Janes, and that we re
quest Col. Woodford, post commander, in accordance with an
order from the War Department of the United States, to assign to
his use and protection the Methodist Episcopal churches and par
sonages in this city. And we as the official members pledge to him
our aid, sympathy, and co-operation in establishing and sustaining
Methodism among us.
“ On behalf of the Board.

On the 10th of March I received the following order:

Port o f Charleston, March 10, 1865. f
“ H ea d q u a rters
“ At the request of the stewards and trustees of the Methodist
Episcopal Churches of Charleston, as the former pastors have left
the city, the Rev. T. Willard Lewis, a regularly appointed mission
ary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is appointed to the sole
charge of the Methodist Episcopal Churches and parsonage of this
city, in accordance with directions from the War Department,
dated December 9, 1863.
(Signed)
“ S t e w a r t L. W o o d f o r d ,
“ Col. 103d U. S. C. T., Commanding Post.”
Three days after receiving the above order, at a meeting in old
Bethel Church of nearly one hundred exhorters, stewards, and
leaders, both white and colored, representing all the Methodist
Episcopal Churches in the city, and after a full discussion, the
following plan was mutually agreed upon, namely:
1. That Spring-street Church be reopened and occupied by the
colored brethren.
2. That the colored members be organized into Methodist Epis
copal Churches, under the superintendence of Rev. T. W. Lewis,
a legally authorized elder and missionary among us.
3. That the colored members be divided into three stations,
namely, Spring-street, Old Bethel, Trinit}' and Cumberland, (now
worshiping at Zion,) and that these compose one Quarterly Con
ference, managing their own affairs according to the Discipline of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
4. That new Bethel Church continue as it now is, a place of
Worship for a white congregation, and manage its own affairs as a
156

station, and if colored people attend they shall be seated as
formerly.
5.
That as brethren we will co-operate and stand by each other,
and use our influence and best endeavors to promote harmony and
peace among all classes ; and that we will sustain the preaching of
the gospel and other means of grace peculiar to the doctrines and
usages o f Methodism.
The above were unanimously adopted, and the last by a rising
vote. I then, according to the wish of the brethren, thus ex
pressed, convened the official members, and at once organized them
into a Quarterly Conference, appointed all the class-leaders and
stewards as they were, and through the leaders gave love-feast
tickets to the members. This was all I deemed necessary to
organize and constitute them Methodist Episcopal Churches.
New Bethel, the only white Methodist congregation, has taken
no action in regard to a change in church relation, but chose to
await future developments. Meanwhile they welcome me to
preach and administer the ordinances among them. By referring
to the last published minutes of the South Carolina Conference, I
find over five thousand colored, and only eight hundred white
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in this city.
Most of the colored remained, but most of the whites left when the
city was evacuated, thus leaving the difference in numbers between
white and colored greater than ever.
It will be seen by the above that the “ plan of separation” was
similar in principle to the famous one of 1844, the colored people
returning to their mother Church, by the consent, and with the ad
vice of the white official brethren, with this difference however,
the whites did not consult their colored brethren whether they
should break from the Methodist Episcopal Church.
I preached to and had the pastoral oversight of the white con
gregation till the 1st of August, when, at the request of the pre
siding elder, I turned it over to the returning rebel pastor, Rev.
Mr. Meynardie. The three colored Churches I still serve by the
aid of transient help and our local preachers.
Trinity Church, which we repaired from the effects of the shells,
contained the largest and most intelligent colored congregation in the
city. The majority of them are mulattoes, or brown people. By an
order from President Johnson this church was turned over to the
officers o f the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, and they gave
me notice to leave instanter, with my congregation of from twelve
hundred to fifteen hundred, and a Sabbath-school of eight hundred.
I applied to General Saxton, o f the Freedmen’s Bureau, and he

very promptly and kindly granted us the use of the large “ Nor
mal School ” building on the Sabbaths.
This answers finely for our Sabbath-school, but does not accom
modate one half of our congregation. W e have worshiped there
only one Sabbath. W e occupy “ Old Bethel ” and “ Spring street ”
as formerly, the war order referring to them not having yet been
revoked, but may be any day.
At our last quarterly conference a “ Church fast ” was unan
imously recommended to be held in “ Old Bethel ” Church, with
services from sunrise till sunset, to entreat God’s favor and his
guiding hand in our present trying circumstances. Hundreds
entered the church last Friday at the dawn and did not leave till
the close of day. Three sermons were preached, Bishop Baker’s
letter read, and continuous prayer offered. I never witnessed such a
“fast ” before. There is a God who is able to deliver its and I cannot
doubt he will! I wish the Missionary Society to f e d that they have
nearly three thousand members good and true in this city, and one
thousand Sabbath-school children; and that I have, as I was in
structed, pledged to them the faith and sympathy of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. I have organized Churches on the islands of
St. James and St. Johns, and have visited Edisto, Mount Pleasant,
Summerville, Branchville, Orangeburg, and Providence, likewise
the Goose Creek Parish, to ascertain the condition and wants of
the people, and I assure you I found it missionary ground.
The work in the Southern Department is arranged and sup
plied as follows:

of the third class. There has been a missionary in Richmond
during a portion of the year, but no report of his labors and
success has been made to the Mission Rooms.
As early as the winter of 1862-3, Rev. J. E. Round, then a
captain in the army, at the request of the colored Methodist
Church in Newbern, South Carolina, received its members
into our Church and assumed the pastoral oversight of them.
Subsequently he took the same course with reference to the
Churches in Washington and Beaufort. At the expiration of
his term of service in the army, Brother Round was authorized
by these Churches to present to our Church authorities a request
that a suitable person should be appointed a missionary to this
field. This request resulted in his appointment to North Car
olina by Bishop Baker, in December, 1863. Brother Round,
with what aid he could obtain from chaplains and other min
isters, supplied these Churches with preaching and pastoral
care till some time in the year 1864, when they were persuaded
to dissolve their connection with our Church, and seek other
ecclesiastisal relations. Thenceforth the labors of the mission
ary were in white Churches, and included only the few colored
persons who preferred to worship therein. The mission was
nevertheless blessed with some prosperity, having seekers of
religion constantly at the altar and many conversions. Most
of these, however, were soldiers and temporary residents. The
Sabbath-school was large and flourishing, numbering in its
regular attendance over one hundred children. All this was
cut short; however, by an order from General Palmer convert
ing the church into a hospital. As every other building suit
able for church purposes had been previously taken for mil
itary use, the services and Sabbath-school were broken up, and it
was difficult even to secure a place for social meetings. Thus
when the Church was no longer needed for a hospital, the work
was so entirely broken up that the missionary and his people
were in no condition to claim the church, and it was voluntarily
given up.
Brother Round writes to the Mission Rooms from Newbern,
North Carolina, under date of December 26, 1865, as follows:
At the time of making my report of June 30th, my congregation
and Sabbath-school had been broken up by the use of our church

months of March and April; and the work of destruction had been
completed, so far as our mission was concerned, by the surrender
of the church building to the presiding elder of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in May. After doing so, finding the sea
son of year an unfavorable one for commencing a new movement,
I directed my labor's to those regiments of soldiers destitute of
chaplains, working in co-operation with the delegates of the Chris
tian Commission. This I continued to do till July 15th. On that
date I started for the North for the following reasons: First, The
residents of Newbern anticipating a return of yellow fever, were
generally calculating to spend the summer and fall away from town,
so that I judged that my opportunity to collect a congregation
would be slight. Second, I knew of no place outside of Newbern
which afforded any prospect of success. Third, I desired to fulfill
a part that had been assigned me during the commencement exer
cises of Wesleyan University. Fourth, I desired to make some
further arrangements for the welfare of my family at the north.
Bishop Baker, then having supervision of the work here, agreed
with me that it was not best for me to return till the sickly season
was over, so that I remained at the North, preaching wherever it
seemed most necessary, until the first week in October, when I re
turned to Newbern.
On my return I made diligent inquiry for some public hall or
private room suitable for services, but did not succeed in finding
any. I commenced holding prayer-meetings in private houses, and
preaching in the open air whenever the weather permitted, or about
half the time, as it has proved so far. Neither my voice nor style
of preaching is adapted to open air congregations, but I had no
other alternative, or at least none that was not liable to still great
er objections.
In the latter part of October I informed Bishop. Baker of the
state of things, and urgently requested him to release me from my
work here, or take measures to secure assistance in building a chapel,
stating that to continue the work long without providing the means
for building would be only a waste of means on the part of the
Missionary Society, and a waste of time on my own part. I infer
that my letter did not reach Concord until the bishop had started
on his journey to South Carolina. I received no reply till after the
meetings in New York in November, and was then informed that
I was to lay the matter -before Bishop Scott, which I did imme
diately. I have received one letter from Bishop Scott asking fur
ther light, which I have furnished to the best of my ability.

MISSIONARY REPORT.
[1866.
On the 11th instant, I left here for Wilmington, to learn the state
o f things there. One reason for doing so was, that there is now
one meeting in Newbern that is acceptable to northern men, and
I thought that in case I should find any considerable northern pop.
illation in Wilmington unsupplied, and other circumstances favor
able, that would be a better field for me to labor in than here. I
found the northern population of Wilmington mostly Jews, scarcely
any others there except those in government employ. The at
tendance at church there is not general, having fallen off very
much during the war. The sentiment among the people, however,
is more decidedly anti-union than in any other place I have visited
at the South. I think an active man could build up a Church
there, but the work would be very slow. There are churches
there that I think could be bought, but they are poor and the
prices exorbitant. A Baptist church well located, but very old, is
for sale; price, seven thousand dollars, ($7,000.) It needs consid
erable repair, and is too old to answer any but a temporary pur
pose. It is well finished on the inside, however, and is large and
commodious. The Zion Methodists are trying to b\iy it, but it is
very doubtful whether they will be able to raise the means. The
importance o f that place I need not refer to, as it is well known to
be the largest place in North Carolina. It is nearly one hundred
and fifty miles from Newbern by the usually traveled route, and
considerably more than one hundred miles from Fayetteville, the
nearest place o f any commercial importance.
There are two circuits on the banks, namely, Hatteras and
Portsmouth. I had a kind of informal supervision of them during
the war, but judged that they would return to the care of the
Church South as soon as the opportunity was offered. I see, how
ever, that they are dropped from the list o f appointments of the
North Carolina Conference. I do not know why, but infer that it
is on account o f their loyalty, or poverty, or both. The lack of
mail facilities, and the impossibility of my visiting them while ray
present correspondence with the bishop is pending, have made it
impossible for me to obtain further information respecting them.
Hatteras circuit comprises five appointments, and a population of
about fifteen hundred, all preferring Methodist meetings, and sup
plied with places o f worship. Portsmouth embraces two appoint
ments on opposite sides o f Ocracoke Inlet, and a population of
from five hundred to a thousand, similar to those on Hatteras cir
cuit, except that they are more intelligent, and have more means,
but are less unanimous in their loyalty. (I speak o f loyalty here
as referring principally to the past. In the sense of having taken
1866;]
161
the amnesty oath, and meaning to keep it, of course everybody
professes to be loyal. In the former sense, the communities em
braced in these two circuits, and a few others similarly situated,
are the on\y loyal white communities I know of in the South.)
All of the foregoing relates to my work among the white pop
ulation. The only classes of whites accessible to us are Northern
people here and the poorest class of natives. The latter class are
accessible only within the territory occupied by our troops early
in the war. Outside of that territory, all of that class were placed
in the rebel army by the operation of the Conscription Act, and
their experience as soldiers and prisoners has embittered them.
There is great need that we should do something for the col
ored people in the eastern part of this state. The only objection
to doing so arises from the danger of thereby creating divisions
and strife among the colored people. They are beginning to real
ize the mistake they made in leaving us, and many are desirous
of retracing their steps.
I am waiting now for an answer from Bishop Scott, meanwhile
continuing to hold prayer-meetings in private houses, and to
preach in the open air every Sabbath when the weather will
allow.
5. INTERIOR DEPARTM ENT.
Our missions in this department are in Montana and Idaho
territories. The mission in Idaho has just been projected.
The Rev. William Roberts, of Oregon Conference, was ap
pointed to this field by Bishop Kingsley in August, 1865, and
the time since has been too short to allow him to reach the
field, make satisfactory exploration, and report the result to
this office.
I n 1864 Bishop Clark appointed Rev. A. M. Hough and
Rev. E. T. M’Laughlin missionaries to Montana territory. In
consequence of the Indian troubles along the line of travel
they were unable to reach the field of their future labors till
late in the autumn. Having given himself time for observa
tion and exploration, the superintendent of the mission, Rev.
A. M. Hough, wrote from Yirginia City to the Mission
Rooms as follows:
Our religious prospects are far better than I dared hope before
I left the East for this field of labor, i We dedicated the first and
only church in Montana Territory on November 6. In a few weeks

we found it too email to furnish even standing room for all who
sought entrance, so we have taken out one end of the building, and
are putting on twenty-five feet addition. This would have been
completed and ready for reopening last Sabbath but* for the ex
treme cold weather, which put a temporary stop to the work; but
it 'will be completed this week. On my arrival here I found eight
or ten brethren banded together and maintaining class and prayer
meetings. In the name of the Lord we set up our banner, and
x>on quite a number of brethren, some Methodists and some
members of other denominations, who had not before identified
themselves as Christians, rallied round it, and we were able to
count about forty members. Then we held a protracted meeting,
which continued five weeks, and resulted in the addition of over
forty more to the Church. We now number about ninety members.
The membership here is very faithful and earnest. This is char
acteristic of the people here, and produced at least in part by the
surroundings of the country. This country soon develops a man’s
character; it divides the house, and defines each man’s position.
I like it for that. We are happily delivered from that first of all
church pests, “ a goodly formal saint.” There is nothing for himto
subsist upon here. The strong flood tide of popular sentiment sets
in in favor of sin and the devil, and it is pretty sure to sweep the
moral flood-wood down the stream; and I am sorry to say it takes
some of the valuable material along with it. If any one doubts
the possibility of falling from grace, I only ask them to come here
and become acquainted with this community. I am safe in saying
one half of the people are backsliders. In our protracted meeting
it was surprising to hear two thirds of the unconverted portion of
the congregation join in singing some of the old-fashioned revival
hymns. They learned to sing them in better, happier days. The
wnew song ” was put in their mouths when their feet were taken
from the horrible pit and placed upon the rock ; but now they are
on the barren mountains of sin, and, many of them, of unbelief. I
have met sin and vice elsewhei*e, but never with such a brazen face
as here. It seems as if all restraint were gone, and men giveJoose
rein to passion, and go down quickly to destruction. It is lament
able, and makes the heart exceeding sad, to see the moral wrecks
with which this country is literally strewed. But, thank God! the
religion of Christ is able to contend successfully with all these
giant sins, and in every conflict it shall conquer.
Under date of April 15, 1865, the superintendent writes
again as follows:
1866. j
168
We have been literally Bhut in among the mountains, much of
the past winter, by the snow on the range between here and Salt
Lake. For six weeks at a time there has been no communication,
and the people of this territory have been as perfectly isolated
from all the outer world as if shut up in the “ Polar Sea.”
I sent my report, giving a general view of th§ condition of
things, about the first of January, which I trust has been received.
At that time I hoped before this to be able to report progress at
other points besides this, especially at Prickly Pear, where Brother
M’Laughlin had gone expecting to spend the winter, bat imy ex
pectations have not been fully realized in that, respect. The winter
had fully set in before he reached there, and no preparations having
been made for his accommodation, he considered it impracticable
to do anything until spring opened, so he returned b ere, and stop
ped until the middle of March, assisting me in protracted meet
ings, etc. He is now at Helena, the principal town of Edgerton
county, where he has established his headquarters, and has already
opened a Sunday-school, and is laboring to erect a church. Helena
is in the midst of the newly-discovered gold mines, and will soon
contain a larger number of inhabitants than this town.
Our labors during the winter have been confined to this town
and the immediate surroundings, and they have not been in vain.
The church, which was completed and dedicated previous to my
former report, was found too small for the congregation, and has
been enlarged by the addition of twenty-five iieet, which gives us
none too much room. We held a protracted meeting, which con
tinued a number of weeks, and resulted in the addition of over
fifty to the church, which now numbers one hundred members.
The society has paid for our church and parsonage, whieh cost
about three thousand dollars, besides furnishing my support.
Both of the Sunday-schools in this charge are in a flourishing
condition, and especially so when it is remembered that we are
destitute of all the modern facilities for giving interest to a Sun
day-school. No books, no papers, no tickets or cards, nothing
hut a determination to succeed. Still, in the face of all these ob
stacles, and many others not encountered in more civilized commu
nities, persevering labor has overcome and been crowned with
success. The two schools now number one hundred scholars, and
the first conversion in our church was from the Sunday-school. I
said we had no papers or books. I ought to make an exception.
Dr. Wise very “ wisely” sent us two dozen of the “ Sweet
Singer,” and the same number of the Sunday-School Advocates.
Two dozen Sunday-School Advocates never made the childrení:íJf %

a school happier, than were ours .when I distributed the papers
Among them.
. I expect to start soon tb visit a number of settlements in the
territory, where a number of Methodists, and probably some mem
bers of other Churches, reside, and try to establish class and
prayer meetings among them, and thus keep them together until
they can be supplied with preaching.
The expense of living in this territory is very great. Flour can
not be bought here ;to-day for less than eighty cents to one dollar
per ponnd, potatoes sixty cents,per pound, and other necessaries at
about the same rates. These enormous prices are partly owing to
scarcity, and partly to speculation. Everything consumed by this
population is freighted here by wagon trains, either from Salt Lake,
or the States, via Salt Lake. Last fall freighting closed two or three
weeks earlier than usual on account of early snows on the range;
and the snow was so heavy that the roads will not be opened
as early this spring by a number of weeks as heretofore, henoe the
famine prices of everything.
It is impossible, in the present condition of things in this terri
tory, to fix the precise amount beforehand which is necessary to
support a man in any particular charge. The price of living may
vary one half; or, when there is a reasonable hope at the commence
ment of the year of getting a support from the society, in six
months there may be no society, so changeable are these mining
communities. Take this place as an illustration. At the com
mencement of the present year three fourths, or at least two thirds
of the people of this territory resided in and about this town.
To-day not one third of them are here. The report of new and
rich discoveries came, and a stampede commenced and has not stop
ped yet. Two years ago Bannack contained from five thousand to
eight thousand inhabitants; now it does not number two hundred
persons. But it is the boast of Methodism that its ministers fol
low wherever the people go, and are the first to plant the “ stand
ard of the cross” upon the remotest frontier. That has proved
true in this territory. ¿Rich and extensive gold diggings have been
discovered recently, which must give a rapidity of growth and
permanancy to Montana which the most sanguine would scarcely
have believed four months ago. Let us be prepared for this.
And under date of Jftiiuary 15, 1866, he further, writes:
This territory is proving to be rich beyond all precedent in the
precious metals, and from all reports an immense immigration will
f reach here next summer.
1866.]
SEAMEN.
The charge at Helena, ngw the principal town in the territory,
is in a very flourishing condition. The missionary is well liked,
his house is crowded, and they are giving him a support.
This charge (Virginia City) is as prosperous as can be expected
under the circumstances. The membership which one year ago
numbered one hundred is now about twenty-Jive, SLnd. the popula
tion of the city has decreased in a still larger proportion. At that
time this was the principal mining camp in the territory, and most
of the people were here. Since that a dozen others have been dis
covered and some of them as good as this, and the people are scat
tered. Though our congregations are still fair, I am receiving
from them but a very small portion of my support.
SEAMEN.
The great good doing by our Missionary Society for seamen
and immigrants in the port of New York, may be inferred from
the fact that not less than two hundred and fifty seamen, in
cluding officers, have been converted in the BetÉel Ship during
the past year; and mòre books have been sold and given away
in the same time, probably, than in any two years .before.
Independent, or over and above the Scandinavian seamen
who entered our port during the year, there have been 3,315
immigrants from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Of the German vessels a still greater number have entered our port, and
of the immigrants 83,451 have been Germans. The labors of the
missionaries among these people, both Scandinavians and Ger
mans, have, to the certain knowledge of our own managers and
officers, been “ nrore abundant,” even, indeed, to actual ex
haustion again and again.
The bread these men have cast upon the waters is to be
found upon every inland sea, upon every ocean, and on the
borders of all landB. There has been an unusual degree of
attention paid to seamen in the port of New York during the
past year by all the evangelical Churches.

THE DEPARTED.
R e v . J. B. H a g a n y , D.D., after a service of twelve years
as a manager of the Society, has passed away to the company
of those he “ loved most and best,” among whom were at least
twelve of the officers and managers who were his associates in
the Board at the beginning of his term, namely:
Bishop Waugh, the President of the Society.
Rev. Stephen Martin dale, the seventh Yice-President.
Rev. Le Roy Swormstedt, Assistant Treasurer.
Mr. John B. Edwards, Recording Secretary.
Rev. Drs. Bangs, Bond, Floy, Kennaday and Perry, Messrs.
Henry Moore and Peter E. Coon.

THE MISSING.
177
THE M IS S IN G .
Ihose who are wont to look at the list of managers will
miss the name of R e v . W il li a m ; H. N o r r i s , formerly and
for many years a missionary of the Society in Sonth America,
always a liberal patron, and for ten years last past a most
active member of our Board. He has removed to Green Bay,
Wisconsin.
H o n . G e o r g e T. C o b b , who for twenty-one years has been
enrolled among our managers, at last insists as he cannot
do fall service, (residing as he now aoes out of the city and
called to much service for his native state and the nation) that
his place shall be taken by another. Our regrets are somewhat
relieved by the knowledge that he is training up some two or
three hundred juvenile supporters of the cause.

REPORT
or THE
BOARD
OF
MANAGERS,
JANUARY, 1866.
T h e march o f the Sunday-school forces o f the Meth
odist Episcopal Church was onward during the year
past. Growth marked nearly all its departments.
Everywhere we see the Church watching the interests
of her children with increasing vigilance. Nowhere
do we perceive any signs o f decay. On the contrary,
life and activity characterize our Sunday-school work
from E ast to W est, from our Northern to our Southern
border. It would be more gratifying could we report
a much larger number of conversions; for every year
demonstrates with more m arked significance, that if
the Sunday-school is to save our children, they must
be brought to Jesu s and into the Church at a very
early period o f their lives. Still, with so much to
rejoice over, we will not complain, but with gratitude
to Alm ighty God for his p ast great mercies, confidently
commit the future o f our work to his loving guidance
and protection,

Publishing-house which has done better. The times
have been and still are very unfavorable to publishers.
The high cost o f materials and labor, with the heavy

Still the Church demands more book?, and the Agents
are meeting the demand with a class o f works of which
no Methodist need be ashamed.

OUR PERIODICALS.
The Sunday-School Journal fo r Teachers a/nd Young
People was resumed in October last. I t has a circula
tion o f 14,000. I t is very desirable for the interests
o f our Sunday-school work that it should be taken in
all our schools. W e ask for it a circulation of 100,000
before the next General Conference.
The Sunday-School Advocate reached a total maxi
mum circulation o f 304,500 copies, nam ely: *At New
Y ork, 140,500 ; at Cincinnati, 84,000 ; at Chicago, 80,000.
Increase, 16,300.
Its winter circulation is 245,000, nam ely: at New
Y ork, 127,000 ; at Cincinnati, 60,000 ; at Chicago, 58,000.
Increase, 15,000.
Its average circulation for the year was 274,750.
A verage increase, 15,650. The number o f copies printed
during the year was 6,594,000. N um ber of pages,
27,376,000.
W e believe there is no other Sunday-school paper in
the world which has so large a circulation as the Sun
day-School A dvocate.

FUNDS.
Our receipts for 1865 were $17,738 37, or $101 30
less than in 1864. Our expenditures were $18,698 85,
or $2,084 33 more than the preceding year. The
Board has the satisfaction o f knowing that every appli
cation properly made to it or its several committees
was liberally responded to.
In view o f the increasing wants o f our work in the
conferences transacting business at St. Louis, we have
appointed a committee on applications for aid at that
point. This committee is authorized to make grants to
the amount o f the collections it may receive, and to
draw on our Treasurer for $5,000 additional during the
year, if the necessities of our Sunday-school work within
their sphere o f action shall require it.

CONCLUSION.
O ar Sunday-school system is expanding. Increasing
multitudes o f children are gathered to it year by year.
Still, in view o f the vast numbers o f morally negleeted
- children who abound everywhere, and o f the unlimited
amount o f undeveloped forces within the Church, we
cannot but ask, Is our expansion as great as our means
and opportunities might make it? This question should
be weighed b y every preacher having charge of souls.
It should be earnestly discussed in every Board meeting
and b y every quarterly conference. Teachers’ meetings
should consider it, and earnest men everywhere should
ponder and pray over it. W ere the question so
viewed generally b y our ministers and laymen, who
doubts that, instead o f adding fifty thousand children
to our numbers in a year, we should soon add a hundred
thousand per annum to the almost a million now under
our care ?
Another question demanding serious thought is, Are
we working our system intellectually or spiritually up
to the just measure o f its capabilities? A re we doing
what we might for the improvement o f the system? for
the training o f our teachers ? for raising the standard
o f teaching generally? W e fear not. Much is being
done, doubtless, but more is left undone. Most assuredly
the interests o f the children demand more o f us in this
direction.
W e feel this demand deeply, and have made some
provision toward meeting it, by taking measures for
the employment o f the R e v . J. H . V in c e n t as General
A gent o f the Society. The editorial and secretarial
duties o f the Corresponding Secretary confine him so
i
17
closely to his office that he cannot go abroad and do
what is absolutely necessary to the farther development
of our system in the Churches and Conferences. The
General Agent, a man eminently endowed for this work,
will, we doubt not, by his presence and influence at
district and state conventions, at annual conferences,
and by the organization o f Teachers’ Institutes in our
large towns and cities, accomplish a great work in this
direction. Nevertheless, the work cannot all be done
by one or two men. There must be general co-operation for a common end. Every superintendent, every
officer, every teacher, yea, and every member o f the
Church, must contribute what he can to the grand
result.
The spiritual improvement o f the system must come
from within the Church itself. The Church must not
wait for the Sunday-schools. She must give the impulse
from her own heart. She must believe in the con
version of children. She must travail in birth for their
salvation. She must seek to bring them to her fellow
ship. She must not follow after, but go befoi'e the
teacher# in seeking these ends. Never, until she does
so, will the Sunday-school be in fact what it is in name,
the nursery o f the Church. W e entreat our leading
laymen and chief ministers to consider these things.

SYNOPSIS OP THE PLAITS OP ACTION ADOPTED BY THE TRACT
SOCIETY OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL OHDIOE
The policy o f the Tract Society is to encourage the circulation of tracts
and books by voluntary laborers, and not by hired colporteurs. Its agents
are our presiding elders, pastors, and tract committees. Could it secure
tiueir general and hearty co-operation it would speedily become the most
effective organization o f its class in the country. To obtain their aid it
offers:
1. To give annually five doUars1worth o f tracts, or the equivalent in
Good News, to the tract committee or pastor o f every mission that ■will
apply for them.
2. To every appointment pledging a collection, ten copies o f the Good
News.
8. To eveiy Tract Committee, such a supply of tracts at the beginning
o f a conference year as their necessities require, it being understood that the
committee will secure the society in return a c o l l e c t io n sufficient to
cover the amount of the grant, and to leave a balance proportionate to the
ability o f the Church for general purposes.
4. To every Tract Committee that will expend fifteen dollars in the pur
chase o f books (taken from the list printed in the appendix to this report)
for circulation, by loan, in its church and congregation, the society will
give as a premium a set o f the E a r n e s t C h r i s t i a n ’ s L i b r a r y , worth $5.
For every additional $15 thus expended, five dollars1worth o f books, (at
retail prices,) selected from the above named list.
5. The Society also proposes to co-operate with our Foreign Missions by
supplying them with the means o f translating and publishing tracts and
books. It can profitably expend large sums in these important fields.
The press is indispensable to our missionaries, and the Tract Society must
sustain it
6. The Society will co-operate with Freedmen’s Associations in supply
ing them with such books and papers as will promote the education of
those large bodies o f our emancipated fellow-citizens which are their pe
culiar care.
7. The Society will also seek to send tracts and papers to the army and
navy so far as it has means and opportunity.
8. The Society will send tracts and papers to almshouses, prisons, and
reformatory institutions, particularly those in which our ministers officiate
as ehaplains, superintendents, teachers, etc. To accomplish these ends the
Society depends upon the pastors to solicit the Churches to give an an
nual collection to its treasury. For the current year 1806 it asks the
Churches for not less than $20,000.
Blanks for making applications for grants will be found in the appen
dix to this Report

THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT.
It will gratify the Mends of tract circulation to learn, as they
will from this Report, that the Society haB enjoyed another
year of prosperity. Although the principal field of its activity—
the army and navy—has been happily closed by the termina
tion of the war, it has, nevertheless, found other soils upon
which to scatter the precious seed of truth.
Otir receipts for 1865 were $13,566 61, or $955 70 more than
in 1864. Our disbursements were $13,606 25, or $1,588 84
more than in the preceeding year. As will be seen by the list,
most of our grants were made to Churches, our army grants
having almost ceased in May last.
The income of the Society continues to increase, as may be
seen by the following table of receipts for the last ten years :

TH E G O O D NEWS.
The circulation of the Good JSTews during the summer
reached 99,000.
It is now 49,000. The average monthly issue for the year
was 74,600. Its average issue in 1864 was 90,500. Decrease,
15,900. Total number of copies printed, 894,000. Total num
ber in 1864,1,086,000. Decrease, 192,000. The cause o f this
decrease was the termination of the war and the discharge of
the army, to which we were sending som e 50,000 copies
monthly in the beginning of last year. This paper ought to
11
have a monthly circulation o f at least 100,000 among the
Churches.
The number of pages of the Good News printed in 1865
was 3,576,000, and as each number contains the equivalent of
thirty tract pages, the reading matter circulated in the Good
News was equal to 26,820,000 pages of tracts.
TR AC TS.
Sixteen new tracts were added to our list during the year:
566 The Wedding Present. Eight pages.
567 Justice of Eternal Punishment.
Four pages.
568 Coals of Fire. Eight pages.
569 Celibacy of Priests and Nuns.
Four pages.
570 Hope for the Backslider. Four pages.
571 Often Reproved. Four pages.
572 Susan H arvey; or, A m I Dying,
Mother? Eight pages.
573 Jesus Saves. Eight pages.
574 The Prison Death Bed.
Four
pages.
575 Lessons from a Sparrow. Four
pages.
576 It’s not my Fault. Four pages.
577 Nothing to Pay. Four pages.

Sixteen pages.
Church Extension Society, No. 1.
Four pages.
Church Extension Society, No. 2.
Four pages.
The tract list is now undergoing a revision, and will be
“ when revised” newly classified and catalogued. This is a
measure of importance, and will, we trust, add largely to the in.
trinsic value and to the availability of the entire list.

NEW T R A C T PUBLICATIONS.
Plain W ords on Christian Living.
The Cross of Jesus.
Sure Words of Promise.
The Soul Gatherer.
These books are put up in a box and called “ The Earnest
Christian’s Library,” price, $5. They are elegantly bound, and
beautifully printed on heavy tinted paper. Their matter is
most excellent, fitted to please the taste, interest the mind, and
6tir the heart. If the Church does not purchase them freely
the Society and the Book Agents will feel that they have poor
encouragement to prepare and issue many “ books that are
books.”

GR AN TS OF TR A C TS AND C O O D NEWS.
A reference to our list o f grants will show that we have domated Tracts to six hundred and sixty-five appointments in
fifty-four Annual Conferences; and Good News to three hund
red and fourteen Churches in twenty-eight Conferences.
Besides these grants, we have half a million pages o f Tracts
on the way to California, and a quarter o f a million pages just
shipped to Oregon for distribution by the Committees on Ap
plications for A id lately appointed at San Francisco and
Portland.
It will also be seen that we have expended over six hundred
dollars in the Southern w ork ; over two thousand six hundred
and seventeen dollars on the army and navy; three hundred
and fifty dollars on prisons, almshouses, and various other
)laces; besides the grants o f money and books made to our
oreign missions.
J
T R A C T ON TH E TEM PERANCE CAUSE.
Desirous o f aiding in the revival o f public interest in the
cause o f Temperance, we have lately Bent a copy o f Tract No.
417 by mail to every minister in our Church. Should it have
failed to reach any o f them the fault was in the mail, and we
will gladly supply a copy to any minister who has not received
it and who will make application to the Corresponding Sec
retary.
PRIZE TR A C TS .

the prizes are awarded.
The Committees to adjudge the prizes will be announced in
our Church papers.
EFFORTS T O CIR CU LATE OUR CHURCH LITER ATUR E.
Feeling an earnest desire to promote the circulation o f our
many admirable books among our people, the Board makes the
liberal offer o f "five dollars worth o f books (at retail prices) for
every fifteen dollars’ which any tract committee will expend in
the purchase o f books for the purposes named in the following
circular, whieh has been sent, per mail, to every tract committee
in the Church.
C IR C U L A R .
B r e t h r e n , — In providing for the appointment of tract committees, the General
Conference designed to call into existence a body of laymen to whom the Church
might safely intrust the important work of circulating her literature, especially her
tracts, among the people who worship around her altars, and also among those
who, though not attendants on her services, are otherwise within reach of her in
fluence.
Many of the committees appointed since the last General Conference have entered
cordially and zealously upon their great work, and, as a consequence, the general
circulation of tracts and of the Good New s has been greatly extended. But we are
of the opinion that these committees might readily increase the importance and
•usefulness of their work by circulating our Book s as well as our tracts among the
people.
It is a disagreeable fact that the mass of our people neither purchase nor read
many of the excellent books published by our Book Concerns at N ew Y ork and
Cincinnati. Perhaps the fault is not so much in the people as in the seeming diffi
culty of procuring the books. They are not generally on sale at the bookstores.
The preacherB do not care to keep them on hand and offer them for sale, as was
formerly the habit of our ministry. From these or other causes the people go un-
supplied.
That this is an evil what loyal Methodist can doubt ? That tract committees, if
they choose to enter upon the work, can do much toward its removal, is very clear
to us. W e suggest one or two plans, which might be readily and profitably adopt
ed by every such committee without interfering at all with their measures for cir
culating tracts.
1.
They might procure funds, by such means as the quarterly conference or the
board meeting could Buggest, and purchase a number of our most spiritual and use
ful books. These books they could properly label and then loan to such members
of the Church and congregation as would be found willing to read them. B y such
14:
means a single copy of any good book could be made to circulate through a whole
congregation. W ith from twenty to fifty different works they could keep a whole
society supplied for months with reading that would promote the growth of intelligent piety, and provoke many to love and good works.
2.
In every congregation there are always many persons passing through Borne
o f the various stages of religious thought and feeling common to hearers of the
Gospel. A watchful tract committee, supplied with our books, would seize the
fitting opportunity and place the suitable book in the hands of such persons.
Suppose, for example, a hearer gives evidence that he is partially awakened; the
committee, by loaning him “ Baxter’s Call,” “ Alleine’s Alarm ,” or “ Pleasant Path
w a y s," might stimulate his convictions and lead him to sue for mercy. To seekers
o f religion they could loan “ Inquirer after Salvation Addressed,” Peck’s “ What
Must I Do to be Saved,” e tc .; to young converts the “ Path of L ife," “ Convert's
Guide,’’ “ Counsels to Converts,” or “ Inquirer and N ew Convert,” e tc .: to Beekers
after holiness, “ The Memoirs of Carvosso,” or ‘ - Bramwell,” “ The Christian Maid
e n ," Peck’s “ Christian Perfection." “ The Gift of Power,” e tc.; and so to minds
in all states they could minister by loaning a book adapted to lead them through
their difficulties into the paths o f piety and truth.
T o encourage you to undertake this desirable work we offer you the following
inducement:
To every tract committee or pastor that will expend fifteen dollars in the pur
chase o f books named in the appended list, the Tract Society will give the “ Earn
est Christian’s Library,” containing four elegantly printed volumes, entitled,
1. “ Plain W ords on Christian li v i n g ;” 2 . “ The Cross o f J esu s; 3. “ Sure Words of
Prom ise;” 4. “ The Soul Gatherer.”
The premium is to be added to the books
purchased and used with them as a loan library.
This premium library is worth at retail five dollars.
The oflfer of the Board is
therefore very liberal. M ay we not hope that it will encourage thousands of tract
committees to enter upon the plan proposed, and to become the instruments of cir
culating hundreds of thousands of our Church publications ?
To obtain this premium a tract committee or pastor must send fifteen dollars to
the Book Agents, to pay for books selected from the accompanying list,* and must
sign the following application to the Corresponding Secretary or to the secretary of
any Committee on Applications for A i d :
The undersigned, sending $ 1 5 to the Book A gents for the purchase of books to
be used as a loan and gift library in the Methodist Episcopal Church at
,
requests that “ The Earnest Christian’s Library” be added to the purchase, accord
ing to the oflfer of the Tract Society.f
(Signed,)........................................................ , Pastor, o r ..........................
>
Chairman o f Tract Committee.
It is hoped that every tract committee receiving this circular will promptly re
solve upon a plan for circulating our books, and for raising the necessary money.
In behalf of the Board,
D. W ise,
Cor. Sec’y Tract Society M. E. Church.
We respectfully entreat every minister to carefully consider
the above circular. It appeals to an agency yet in its infancy,
(the tract committee,) which, if our pastors and presiding elders
choose, can be made the most effective and economical instru
mentality for the circulation of our literature hitherto known
among us. We have, for example, ten thousand Churches,
each of which should have its tract committee. There is not
* See Appendix.
t Should the ram be thirty dollars, the society will doable the premium in books of its own
•election tX retail price«.
15
one o f these Churches which could not be prevailed on by an
earnest tract committee or pastor to raise at least fifteen dollars
for a Church lending-library. W ere this done, two hundred
thousand dollars’ worth of our books (including the premiums)
would be put in circulation among our people immediately.
This sum would purchase, even at present prices, over a quar
ter of a million o f volumes. Is not the conception grand ?
Is not the plan practical ? W ould not the results, mental and
spiritual, be glorious ?
To utilize our tract committees still further, the Board en
courages them to engage in the local circulation o f tracts by
the following inducements :
1. I f they belong to an appointment denominated a mission
they are authorized to apply annually for five dollars’ worth o f
tracts or Good News, without pledging any collection in return.
The Board has faith that missions so aided, when they become
self-sustaining, will give the Society liberal collections.
2. Tract Committees and pastors on self-sustaining appoint
ments are invited to organize their work at the opening o f a
conference year, and having determined on the number of Good
News and the quantity o f Tracts they need, to apply for a
grant sufficient to cover their necessities. It must, however, be
understood that such ‘ Churches stand pledged to give us a col
lection during the year sufficient to cover the grant, and to
leave a margin, as liberal as they can make it, for general
purposes.
3. To every appointment pledging a collection the Society
will, on application, send ten copies o f the Good News for one
year.
4. To ministers laboring among the “ freedmen ” the Society
will make liberal appropriations.
Such are the plans o f the Tract Society for the home work.
In foreign fields our missionaries are its agents, and they
ought to be supplied with means for translating and publish
ing books and tracts, with a liberality far exceeding anything
in our past history. Germany, Bulgaria, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, India, China, and Africa are accessible to our action
by their means. In. all these lands the press is a power. It
is indeed indispensable to the enlarged success o f our missions,
especially in China and India.

W e have stereotyped 180 pages Tracts.
Y ou w ill see by this statem ent:
1. That we have printed considerable less last year than the year before. The
reason is because our means did not permit it.
2. That there remain about half the numbers o f copies on hand than we had the
year before, and that we will be obliged to print considerable more than last year.
% That for all the Tracts we distributed we received not a cent, but had them to
distribute gratuitously, for all the Societies in Germany do the same. Pamphlets
we sell for cost price.
Here you see that our Tract Society is supported by contributions, but our
'17
friends in Germany are n ot able to support us entirely. The Religious Tract So
ciety in London has granted us £ 8 5 in the past year and only by this help it will
be possible to close up our account of the past year, without debt
But there is still a debt of 500 thalers gold hanging over our head. 0 save
us from this our adversary! M y dear Brother, the year of Jubilee has come, shall
we not go out fr e e /. A sk the Church, ask the Committee, and I know they, will
save us. W e need $ 1 ,0 0 0 in the year 1866, and we pray that it may be granted
to us.
n . BOOK CONCERN.
In this year we have published books which will give us a name among the
publishers in Germany.
1. A Concordance, nearly 1000 pages octavo, like Cruden’ s, without explanation
Such a work has not been published before in the German language, and has been
received wit£/ applause. Our profit is very small, but we will stereotype the next
edition.
2. Systematic Theology from Dr. Warren. Part I. The Introduction. W hen this
work is finished it will, by consent of the Church, become without doubt a stand
ard jn our German Theology, and make the Methodist Theology known in Germany.
W e have also printed “ Palissy, the Huguenot Potter,” and W esley's Christian
Perfection, and reprinted Kempis’s Imitation. W e sold in the year 1865 13,835
¡books, 13,481 pamphlets, 5,912 children’s books, 623 packages picture cards, and
54,060 biblical cards.
; W e have sold since the existence of the Book Concern 185,815 books, 230,520
pamphlets, 95,033 children’s Books, and 19,961 picture cards.
in . PERIODICALS.
The E vangelist, our Church paper, gains subscribers as our Societies gain mem
bers. W e have now 2,000 subscribers; and though it is very cheap, the subscrib
ers pay the expenses of printing. However, we shall soon be obliged to publish it
weekly, and then we need an editor. Till now the Superintendent is agent and
editor.
The K ind erfreund has not been introduced in such a number in our SundayBchools as it should have been. Our people are too poor to pay all these expenses.
W e have only 2,400 subscribers.
The M issionary M essenger, our “ Missionary Advocate,” has nearly 4000 sub
scribers.
Many friends in reading this report will, in comparing it with our Book Concerns
in New Y ork and Cincinnati, think “ that it is a small concern.” Indeed it is small I
But if the Lord continues to help us here in Germany, as he has done in the past
years, our descendants will in the days o f Jubilee look back to it with gratitude, as
we look back in America to the days of John Dickin in Philadelphia.
And now we beseech you to grant us $1,0 0 0 this year, and we will promise you
to keep out of debt in future if we possibly can. M ay the Lord remember our
Zion in mercy in these days of Jubilee. W e pray for a revival of religion in the
Methodist Church. Y ours in Christ,

ANNIVERSARY.
Our Anniversary was held at Buffalo, December, 10, 1865.
Rev. Bishop Kingsley, Rev. Dr. Wiley, andt the Corresponding
Secretary were the speakers and preachers. It was a profitable
occasion.
C O N C LU SIO N .
The work of the Tract Society is enlarging. The Churches
are beginning to appreciate more thoroughly the value of tract
and book circulation as an auxiliary evangelizing force. Tract
committees are at work in many places with vigor and success.
Could we have the quaint old statement of a cause of our
Church progress—“ all at it and always at it”—applied to this
department of our Christian activity, we should soon put the
one hundred millions o f pages o f tracts and the one hundred
thousand copies o f the Good News, which is our standard of
success, into circulation annually. May God so stimulate the
people that, as in the days of Nehemiah, they may “ have a
mind to work!”
