XI. REPORTS

REPORT OF EVANGELISTIC WORK

(By action of the Annual Conference the reports as. read were not printed in full but were edited by the secretary and a special committee. The following abstrac t is froITt the reports of the missionaries, Frank T. Cartwright, J. B. Eyestone, E. P. Hayes, and Everett M. Stowe, and of the district superintendents, Ding Hung Kuang, Ding Hung Gi, CeI1~ Ung Gi, Hu Caik Ciu, Ling Siu Dng, U Cu De, Dong King Sui, Dong Seu Dong, and Hu Baik King. No· report from Ding Ceng Ek was read.)

Kutien Field

"Overtopping all else are the bandit conditions in this field. From the middle of the summer to the present has been a reign of terror for the most part of the population; it has been a long nightmare of robberies, killings, and constant fear. The formerly prosperous village of Doh-iong has been burned, robbed, and pillaged until well-nigh ruined. Most of the men have had to flee or face capture, to be beaten to death unless the ransom was paid. A questionaire answered by the Kutien District preachers reveals the fact that during the past two months over $28,000. has been taken from the circuits of the district and of this more than $11,000. came from the membership of the church. - - -Binghu District has also had its share of these depredations. Faced by such conditions faith is sorely tried and despair easily finds place. Nothing can be gained by discounting the seriousness of the reign of anarchy in this region."

Binghu District

"A Council of Religious Education has been formed for the advancement of Sunday School work. Three of the besttrained leaders in religious education were chosen to visit each church and help in organizing their methods for better work. Because of this there has been a noticeable advance this year in the work of the Sunday Schools. - - - Attention has been paid by each of the pastors to the spread of popular education among the youth of their parishes with no op-


portunity for study. Save for the places where bandit conditions have made it impossible schools for these boys have been held."

Kutien District

"Thruout the circuits ,in both the eastern and western 'parts of the district this year has seen an unusual amount of disturbance and trouble, from soldiers and bandits on the one hand and from the work of outside religious sect~ on the other. Fortunately the older members have beea so firmly established in the faith that these things have not moved them and their earnest spirit has -persisted in spite of these extraordinary troubles. - - - This year practically all of the churches have held a meeting for the spiritual refreshment of pastors and members. The most effective was heJd by the combined efforts of the Second and Fifth Ward churches in Kutien City. - - - During the summer five central points were chosen as centers for our summer evangelistic efforts, namely, Iong-gaek, Ciuchio, Long-daik-iong, Ku-de, and Seng-iong. Tho there were constant heavy rains in each place the meetings brot together from one to three hundred. - - - As to church buildings, the churches at Uang-kau and Dai-giang are "nearly completed. At Ku-de the pastors and people are trying to plan the erection of a house of worship for their use and I think that, aided by the Spirit, they will be able to build this coming year.

FOOCHOW FIELD

Foochow North District

"This year has seen an all-year evangelistic effort with people willing to hear and pay attention, many being moved by what they heard. There were decisions for Christ. The pastors organized a district evangelistic band to work in all sections. Officers were selected and good work' was done at Siong-gu and at Guang-nguong-die' where meetings of five days' duration were held. - - - There were sevenplaees which had Summer Vacation Bible Schools With twenty teachers and 560 students. These schools -were established by . the pastors helped by a few interested laymen, and they furnished free ~uition and school supplies/the expenses being raised -locally. They not only helped poorpupllFl but

FOOCHOW FIELD 47

also drew attention to the regular schools and added to the number of those receiving Christian education. - - - We have this year pressed the subject of family worship among our adult members. and we are glad to report that either morning or evening prayers are observed in seventy families."

Foochow South District

"The goal set by the W orId Service Committee was of greater attention to the spiritual life of the church members. To accomplish this our district used two methods, cultivation of the inner life of the preachers and cultivation of that of the members. In the Spring we he1d a retreat for the preachers at the Y. M. C. A. conference site up the river, seeking a place where we could lay aside worldly worries and concentrate on spiritual matters, and from this conference there came great strengthening of our spirits. Returning from this retreat efforts were put forth to give strength to the members by caBin gthem in smaller groups aside for prayer and Bible study, sometimes in connection with the quarterly conference. - - - In the record-breaking typhoon of late August this district lay exactly in the center of the storm's' path. Two parsonages were completely demolished, seven churches suffered heavy damage to roofs and walls. At Ieu-cheu there was not left one tile upon the roof. Two churches have been completely repaired, a few others have been partially fixed up, but others still remain exposed to the elements. The members of all churches have been energetically raising funds for partial repairs but there are places where the damage was too great and the people have not means sufficient to cover the damage - - - In recent years Foochow has experienced the agitation of the Anti-Christian Federation. From the time of the Shanghai trouble in May there were constant strikes and efforts to break up schools, and there were students and teachers who suffered physical violence from the agitators but their. spirits could neither be bent nor broken. - - -Of course the village schools did not suffer this type' of persecution but nevertheless they did suffer another way. Last year they reoeived from American friends $1800., but this year only $630. Last year we were able to have 29 schools; this year but nine." .


COAST DISTRICTS

Futsing District

"This has been a difficult year for the churches on this district but in a fine spirit of Christian cooperation the official members, together with the pastors, have carried th.e burden. The churches in the western part of the distrICt have been constantly harassed by the bandits; those on the east have been harried by the pirates. - - - Summer evangelistic work was concentrated at two points, Co-Ieng and Buang-tau. The district superintendent and the preachers of the district gave quite a few days at these places. The daytime was spent in giving the message of Christ wherever ground could be gathered out-of-doors while in the evenings we met in the church. Certainly much good fruit will come from these gatherings. - - -Miss Bartlett has had fine success with evangelistic meetings among the women. Each Sunday an evengelistic team from the women's school goes out to the country places giving the message of hope thru Christ. - - - The Lucy F. Harrison hospital is situated in Futsing in property formerly belonging to the Anglican Church. Buildings and equipment are old. It has been almost impossible to take any in-patients. This year three fine new buildings have been completed and it is hoped that within a few months the new plant can be occupied."

Last year as soon as I had moved to my new appointment, I began to investigate conditions on the circuit. I found many things had to be changed. After planning with the district missionary and the pastors, we discovered new and better methods, emphasizing two main points. First, we found it was necessary to strengthen the official members, carrying out more completely the organization of our early Methodist Church. We frequently found that the official members were old men with no vision, who could see things in no other light than that of former years. Our plan was to change the vision of these men, or if that could not be done, to get in new and younger men. Secondly we carried out a systematic program, advocating advance in giving. The cost of living we found to be daily increasingly, while members giving remained stationary. The

LUNGTIEN DISTRICT 49

members of the whole district entered heartily into this whole program, with the result the· increase of giving throughout the district is 70% above that of last year.

At Chinese new year time each pastor has given a full week to out-door meetings, for this is found to be the one season of the year when the common people have leisure; these meetings are always attended with real success.

Lungtien District

The church at Chiang-tau was completed in time for the session of the district conference. Nothing but favorable comment has been heard concerning this church building. The members have shown an admirable spirit, and ought to be congratulated. The foundations for the church at Su-o are completed, and work is going ahead rapidly. Money is on hand and land has been bought for the churches at Hochio, Lu-a and Geng-giang. It is hoped that the Construction Bureau may be able to go ahead with these churches this year. Land has also been secured for the erection of the dispensary at Tang-tau, Haitang Island. The typhoon of the past summer did serious damage to churches of this area; the walls at Sek-ek-dong have fallen down four times. In most of the places the members have carried a rather large share of the expenses; in some cases they have been unable to do much, with the result that the buildings in many places are not safe for use.

In many places the presence of bandits has crippled our work very severely. One town, Ek-du, has been reduced from forty or fifty families down to three or four; the church building was the only building not burned, and. it was almost destroyed in the summer by the typhoon. The whole island of Haitang is in desperate straits; the typhoon of the summer almost destroyed the potato crop, while the peanut crop this year is the worst in the memory of many folks. In addition, for some unknown reason, the fishing season has been a very poor one. Famine is the natural result of the failure of these three primary sources of subsistance. Many poor people }Ulve had to resort to selling their baby girls, one of the ferrymen reporting that he personally knew of over three hundred who have been sold since summer.

It has been the hope of many foreigners that the big cut in appropriations would develop the spirit of independence among the Chinese-that they would jump in at


this time of emergency and make the church a Chinese church. We all hoped that in doing this there would come a revival of spiritual life among the members. However, the one great impresion that I get is that just the reverse has been the case. The common people have been so impressed by the military governors and bandits and pirates that they do not feel that they can give much. The pastors' time has been almost entirely given over to this problem of finances, and the spiritual tone of the church has dropped. It may be that such a period of transition is inevitable and necessary for a few years until the church members find themselves and find their full responsibility. The one other impression that I would like to record is that of the devotIon and faith of a large number of the preachers and laymen. It is to these earnest Christian workers that we look for the future of the church.

Bingtang District

"This is an island on which most of the soil is far from rich consequently the people as a class are rather poor. More than half of the inhabitants are fishermen. There are on the island over four hundred villages and within the total area of 1200 square Ii there is a population of 120,000. Of this number we have as church members 1794 and probationers 3052, which is about one Christian in every twenty inhabitants. - - - The first of the year we were informed of the heavy cut in appropriations. I did my best in trying to get each circuit to assume part of the responsibility in carrying this. During the first and second quarters the members did their share nobly, but now in the face of the obstacle (drought, pirates' raids, excessive taxes, poor crop from the sea, etc.) the strength of their bodies does not equal the strength of their purpose. Everywhere reports are that the members have fallen behind, the preachers do not have enough to live on. In the midst of all this sorrow we give thanks to God for the encouragement and inspiration that came from the preachers' retreat, which was in charge of the district missionary. The faith received in these meetings sent out all the preachers with a renewed determination to overcome whatever obstacles might be in the way, and it is because of that faith and determination that we can report an advance, both in membership and in finances."

MINTSING FIELD 51

Mintsing Field

Of course the ever present job of keeping in touch with the folks at home who are giving their generous gifts to the support of the work, requires all the extra hours that may be at hand and more too. In fact the correspondence required for the school and for the donors supporting our Day Schools and also those who are sending gifts toward the support of the various preachers, make demands upon time which no one person should be supposed to meet who has any other responsible work to do. I fear that this part of the work has had to be neglected this year in part at least.

In addition to this has been a very heavy building program in the drawing of plans and specifications for new churches, and their oversight while in building. This year has seen two churches with parsonages completed, and three others nearing completion. One other is just starting and two others are in process of being planned. We believe in the principle of real church buildings which shall stand for the next hundred years more or less, not needing therefore to move the church here and there at times to some new rented hall. .

In a certain way the unsettled conditions have been favorable to the church building program, for the members realizing that the church really is a steadying influence in the community in these times of soldiers and bandits, are ready to give sums toward the erection of the buildings quite beyond what they would be willing to give in times of peace and quiet, and not only the members but many nonmembers also desire to help with their gifts for the same reason.

Mintsing North District

"The work among the churches has this year been most difficult, first because of the reduction of missionary funds and following that have come floods and typhoons, then drought, and because of the latter many fields have yielded scantily and some have not even been cut. The members-have also had the additional troubles arising from the presence and demands of the soldiers and the constant menace of bandits. - - - We have not fully realized all


our aims and plans. Many members have not responded, but then again many of them have and we have held revival meetings to enlarge spiritual vision and deepen faith. We have sold over 100 hymnals, 50 Bibles, 300 tracts, 4000 church calendars, and 250 picture calendars. - - - Regarding churches, this year with the aid of the friends in the U. S. A. and of the district missionary and also of Miss Mace we have been able to complete the church at Mintsing City and Cie-a, while two others, Ne-du and A-iong, are nearing completion. Five other places (Ang-ing-ka, Bahhung-do, Do-kau, Sieu-nioh, and Siong-iong) are very anxious to build and earnestly plead for funds to help them.

Mintsing South District

This year there have been many disappointments, but also much of the help of God. In the first half of the year, as I started out on my rounds I felt that we really could do great things, we would add to the membership, we would increase the gifts, and generally enlarge the church, and this fall would have a fine report to make to the Conference. Little did we know that much of the year the people everywhere would he so troubled by the presence of soldiers and the constant menace of bandits kidnapping the people and demanding large sums of money for ransom. Taxes on land have also been required for three years in advance. The people have not been able to stand such unfortunate circumstances, with the result that very many have gone to New Foochow, or have moved to some other place in the hope of finding a bit of safety, much as they did in the time of the Cing Dynasty. Of course it is impossible but that the gifts for the year should be adversely affected by these conditions.

At the 1920 Conference, this district was set off from the North district, with 1005 members. This year we have 1905, a gain of 900, 1920 probationers numbered 1331, this year 2213. In 1920 the gifts were $1020, this year $2502, this refers to preachers salaries only. Thus we see that in these five years the probationers and members and gifts have been almost doubled, and we believe that if we use our best endeavor in the years to corne we shall satisfy our hopes with still large results.

REPORT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK 53

Ten years ago we had only three churches, but now due to the help of the District Missionary we have thirtee~ churches built and one in building. While the three other places, Sang-tau-iong and upper and lower Ten Twp are very earnestly planning to secure for themselves als~ the much needed new churches.

Regarding the preaching, I have seen many places within the district where the people are very many but no one has ever carried the Gospel to them.

REPORT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK

The following is the edited abstract of the report frOln the various educational institutions of the conference, being compiled from the reports of the heads of the institutions.

Fukien Christian University

"My report this year is necessarily very brief as I have but recently returned from America. Soon after I became President of the University it became evident that money was necessary to carry on. We needed money for buildings and for endowment and for running expenses. The Trustees in N ew York decided that after I had spent a year at the University so as to acquaint myself thoroughly with the situation I should return to America for a year and attempt to raise the necessary funds.

My whole time was given to the object for which I had gone to America. There I found a very peculiar situation that made my work especially difficult and not as fruitful as it might have been. America is more prosperous than I have ever known it. There is more money there than ever before. But because of this very abundance, people are becoming self-indulgent and are spending large sums on themselves. Sacrificial giving does not grow and flourish in that kind of an atmosphere. Yet, of course, I found many faithful stewards who were glad to give of what they had. Most of you will remember Mr. Jones who was my predecessor as President of the University, and whose death a year and a half ago we all mourned. My first gift came from his brother who had been a close friend of mine since we were young men in college together. He gave $75,000 gold that a science hall might be erected to perpetuate the name of the first President of Fukien Christian University.


This autumn our isolated position has kept us free from the trouble from which the schools in Foochow have suffered. We have one more student than last term-133 in all. A very excellent spirit prevails among the students. Two weeks ago we had some special evangelistic services conducted by Mr. Ding Nguong-Iung and as a result a Probationer's class of eleven has been formed which meets at my house once a week for training that they may be prepared to be baptized and join the Church."

Union Theological School

"During the last twepty years we have reported as many as sixty Methodist fltudents. The average has run between thirty-five and forty. 'rhis year we have fourteen students. There are two causes that largely account for this condition. The first is the cut in appropriation for 1'J25. The second is the discontinuance of the old courses, and the inauguration of two new courses.

The first is called the Theological Course. This is 3

three year course, requiring for entrance, graduation fron1 a Senior Middle School. It carries the student one year higher than the old Regular Course. The second .new ( ourse instituted is called the Bible Course. It is a three year course, requiring graduation from a Junior Middle School for entrance. It parallels the Senior Middle School, and may be called a Specialized Senior Middle Sehool Course. It leaves the student two years behind the oid Regular Course. For this course we had many applications. It would not be difficult to get from fifteen to twenty students per year for this course, making an enrollment in this course alone of forty or fifty ,studentFt. When the change to the new courses was announced, six of our Regular Course students went over to the Union Middle School, and will this term complete the work required for a Senior Middle School diploma. In 1926 four of them plan to return to us. They will receive advance standing: in the Theological Course. Apart from these, our own former students, there are no candidates in sight for 1926.

The effects of the cut with its serious demoralization of the morale of the preachers in charge of churches, the defection from the ranks of the ministry ,of. men unable to

UNION NORMAL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL

stand the heavy financial strain, and the generally gloomy outlook for the last year, has had a very marked effect on the spirit of the students."

Union Normal and Middle School

"Our enrollment went up to 106 last spring making the highest mark in our history. A graduating class went out in June and with the natural dropping off during the summer and not receiving a new class this fall, left us 87 on the roll for this term. Because of the cut in fund., this year and slight hopes of an increase for next year, it ~eems that we may be obliged to discontinue the last year of Junior Middle School which we have maintained thus far. This is just contrary to our plan for bridging over the gap between our Practice School and the Senior Middle, thus completing the system covering the fir~t twelve school years. We trust that this interruption is 0nly temporary. Our Practice School has been a great su~cess this year. We were obliged to turn away pupils for lack of room. Ob, that we had more adequate buildings!

Since our last report we have had 11 more graduates. Two of these entered the Theological Seminary and all the others offered themselves as teachers in our Church schools. This is quite clear evidence that we are having some success in carrying out our avowed policy of training church workers. All of our students are still taking the fuB Normal course during the last two years of the Senior Middle School."

Schell-Cooper lVliddle School

"The Middle School, in common with a great many others, was closed early by reason of the agitation arising from the Shanghai incident of May 30. 'Examinations had not yet been completed, so they were taken this fall the week preceding the opening of school. The enrollnlent for the present term shows the effect of the bandit conditions existing in this region. There is a drop of fourteen fronl the attendance of last spring.

Last May the students held an athletic TIleet which aroused considerable interest on thepal't of town and students of other school~, and which our students thoroughly enjoyed-and profited by


~he new course of study is in full operation, and is runnIng smoothly, though there rises the persistent feeling that such a. school cannot p:~perly serve the community w~en . there IS no~ some proVISIOn for a more practical application of learnIng than obtains at present."

Mintsing Junior Middle School "This present year the school has endeavored to main·

tain the same steady move forward an attitude which has characterized it from the beginning. The first term WE' made fine progress until shortly after the Shanghai Incident of May 30th. We were just entering into our examinations when certain ultra patriotic students enroute howeward from other schools which they had helped to close, passed this way and very soon thereafter our students were also passing homeward from a closed school.

The fall term, notwithstanding our fears to the contrary, opened up on schedule time with a good enrollment, tho less than last year. We were hoping to continue quietly, but no such good luck. Even before the make up examinations were over a young rebellion broke out in the first year of the Junior Middle school, resulting in eleven boys finding freer air to breathe elsewhere. Some of them however very soon realized the error of their way and came back for readmission, but others of them still remained outside, and since then they have been using all their skill to proluce trouble, openly threatening the Pres:dent and faculty and student body, spreading dissension against the teaching of Bible, Church attendance and obedience to the rules of the school. For a time it seemed that we would have still more trouble, but at present writing the larger part of the students are hard at study and seemingly happy therein.

We have also found our work greatly hindered by the cut in our appropriation of 33% which reduced us from a working basis of $2660,00 in 1924, to $1780.00 in 1925. This has made it impossible for us to pay adequate salaries, or to give the aid we would like to worthy students in need. Fortunately for the students we had a small fund left on hand for the removal of a large mound of earth on the playground in front of the buildings. Tlie students have undertaken to move this, getting the same pay as would be given to an outside contractor. This enables them to supplement their own meager funds to quite an extent.

FOOCHOW BOY'S JUNIOR MIDDLE SCHOOL 57

The price of food is almost prohibitive keeping many students away. Surely the sins of warring officials and banditry are being visited upon the people. However the fact that 9 of the 10 boys in the graduating class applied for Exhorters License at our recent District Conference maKes up for a lot of things which we miss in physical apparatus and salaries."

Foochow Boys' Junior Middle School

"The attendance in the spring term of this year was very good. 145 were enrolled in the dx classes. The receipts from tuition also aggregated the largest in the history of the school. This was largely due to the fact that the tuition had been raised to six dollars a term.

The strike at the Anglo-Chinese College about Christmas time 1924, and the general unsettled condition among students, seemed to have no effect on our student body. But in Maya spirit of insubordination on the part of the students began to grow. The principals of all the Christian Schools in Foochow had agreed to celebrate May 9th by a big mass meeting in Tieng Ang Dong, and to have nothing to do with the parade being organized by the Student Union. The students of this school refused to attend this mass, meeting but stayed behind and broke up furniture in the school building. The next day with the exception of the senior class and two other students, everybody refused to attend classes. Consequently the faculty was compelled to close school.

On the morning set for the opening of school in the fall 36 boys had paid their fees hefore chapel. and ovp'l" sixty attended chapel. About half an hour after chapel closed and were in class, a group of Students working under the direction of the Student Union came into our class rooms, and ordered the teachers to stop teachinK and the students to go home, under threat of severe con sequences to themselves if they refused. This caused ~ regular exodus. All the boys who had not paid their fees ran right home.

The rest stayed by, and in spite of threats and much propaganda the enrollment has increased till we have 58 students actually in school. Twice groups of students under direction of the Student Union went to the homes of our students and threatened the parents so seriously that th6


parents. felt that they must withdraw the boys. The ten· sion was very severe. But about the fifteenth of October the Provincial Governor raided the headquarters of the Student Union, and arrested a group of the ring leaders. Since them we have peace. The students we have with us this term are almost all Christians. Christian parents want their boys to go to a Christian school. It was the nonChristians who were scared away"

Carolyn Johnson Memorial Institute (Junior Middle)

"The school consists of a Junior Middle department and Higher Primary Department, altogether six cIasse:;;, with a total of 106 pupils, no less and no more than last year. The teachers are always planning for the advancement of the school. To this end they meet semi-monthly~ and once in addition at the end of each month for report. At these meetings are discussed pedagogy, methods of teaching, disciplinary methods, standard tests, methods of treating deficiencies, and other things affecting their work.

The pupils, in addition to the Y. M. C. A., have a self government association, newspaper board, Mandarin Club, a small library and reading room, Bible classes, Sunday evangelistic teams, et cetera. These are all the results of the pupils' own efforts. Although I cannot say that all of the above efforts have attained their goal, the effect in helping the self-reliance and ability of the pupils is not below that of the regular curricular studies."

Bingtang Junior Middle School

"This year, both the principal and all the members of the faculty of the Uk Hieng Girls' School have shown their kindness to us in helping us to make new plans for the school. . After consultipg the course of study, we finally drew up a formal.agreement toward the establishment of a co-educational system between these two schools, and in February, 1924, co-education of the two Junior Middle Schools made its first appearance on this island. Due to this new system there has been a warm competition among the students·.· Last semester, when the term examination was over' most of the students' work had, been much more satisf~l(!t~ry than in the previous years. This dearly shO\\''-i the benefitB of our having this new system.

MING NGIE SCHOOL 59

This term, the number of the Junior Middle School third year, or graduating class, is seven; the number of Higher Primary, twelve; the Lower Primary, thirteen. The total number of graduating classes is thirty-two. This is the largest number of graduates since the opening of the school.

Since the change to the new educational system, we have put our emphasis on the use of Mandarin. The majority of our classes are now taught in Mandarin. I hope in a year or so that the medium of instruction in all classes may be entirely changed from the Foochow dialect to Mandrin.

About seventy percent of the students in this school are sons of preachers and church members. Most of the students have been baptized and have joined church. On Sundays most of the students in the upper classes go out to the neighboring villages to do evangelistic work, while several others teach Sunday School classes in the church."

Ming N gie School

"In the third year of the Chinese Republic, Mr. Harry R. Caldwell, at that time District Missionary of the Futsing Field, seeing that there were many poor boys in this field without the opportunity of going to school, started the ball rolling in two directions to secure help in starting a poor boy's school. On the one hand he asked for help from Bishop Lewis, on the other from the gentry of Futsing and Futsing people resident in Singapore and Java. He also asked the governor and the local magistrate to give a piece of ground for the school, which added to a piece that was bought for the purpose made a very suitable plot for such a school. It soon came to be felt by all parties concerned that the name, "Poor Boys' School," was entirely too restrictive in its character, so the name was changed to "Ming Ngie School."

The number of students who receive aid from the school is limited to thirty five. Futsing City, the five dengs of Futsing County, and Bingtang County are allowed five each of these thirty-five. If anyone of the seven divisions is short of its quota of five, the quota may be filled from other divisions. The students, according to their attainments as shown by examinations, have been assigned to Higher Primary, First and Second year or to the Preparatory Class, i.e., Lower Primary, Fourth year. A total of

60 FOOCHOw' ANNUAL CONFERENCE

forty three pupils have been -received this year. In addition to those who were already affiliated with the. church when they came, thirteen have been receIved intomem-bership in the chl,lrch during the year. . .

It is exceedingly important that the Junior Middle School, first year, be started next year, so that this year's Higher Primary graduates will have an opportunity to go on with their studies without going elsewhere to do so~ If we have a Middle School here it' will prevent the many troubles that result from pupils having to go elsewhere to school. It will also giYe an opportunity for Government School pupils to come here and take examinations to enter our school. We have plenty of ground and there is 'already stone on the ground to build more buildings."

The Mintsing Primary- Schools

The number of schools had to be reduced and. the amou:c.ts given to each teacher had to be cut down. One of the teachers who stayed on was in to see me yesterday, and he said that his students paid him $36.00 (if he can collect it) 'and he gets -a similar amount from the Mission funds. Taking out his tenth and other necessary exuenses he has only sixty dollars left for himself, a bare five dollars per month .. He finds he cRI.!not live on it and so 1:':2S asked me to write him a recommendation for work in New Fooehow. He is a graduate of our'school in the class of 1924. and would make a good leader if we could hold him, but we cannot hold him nor any other teacher at that price.

What we have tried to do therefore is to increase the gifts from the stude:q.ts, and we have made spme progress in this.direction, but not what we would desire. Nevertheless we made Qur plans with the result that we have had in the North District, Schools 15, Teachers 15 eI}rollment 323. Gifts pledged from students (fees) $913, GIfts from the Mission $663.00.

In the South District, schools ~5, students 550, fees from students $1698, From Appropriation $788.

Ku-Bing Primary Schools

"The policy of concentrating in centers of importance was adopted. Teachers of modern training have been put in .cllarge of these schools, in accordance with the recom-

· REPORT' OF MEDICAL WORK 61

mendations and the course of study of the Board of Education. Though the' number of schools is smaller than in previous years, their efficiency is not less than before.

On Binghu District, instead of 16 schools of last year,. there are eight; on Kutien District, instead of twenty, there are twelve. Last year, Binghu district had 344 students in the day schools, this year, 183; Kritien district had 406, this year, there are 272.

IVIr. Ngu Dung-ong has done loyal, faithful work as, inspector of the schools, visiting each of the schools in the two districts at least three times per year, and examining them."

Report of Medical Work

Below is given an abstract of the medical reports made by Dr. J. E. Gossard, Dr. R. E. Merrill, Miss Loland, and Dr. Suo

As for the number of in-patients and the total number of days that they stay in the hospital, the limit of increase has in all probability nearly been reached for ordinary times and circumstances. Arbitrarily, we have set the . figure of 500 as the greatest number of new in-patients that this hospital can expect to receive in a year, and 20 as the maximum daily average of cases in the wards. This past year these goals have almost been reached.

However, the greatest amount of increase has not been in the matter of statistics, but rather it has been in the character and quality of the work that has been done. The chief reason for this lies in the fact that this is the first year that we have had a foreign nurse. It is safe to say that the efficiency of the hospital work has doubled since Miss Loland came. The wards have been . kept clean and tidy and the patients have been looked after in a way that would do credit to any hospital. Also, the technique, which has become routine in the operating room, has now reached such a high. standard that we no longer approach serious operations as we used to with hesitancy and "fear and trembling" as to the possible outcome. For these improvements too much credit and praise can notb,~given' Miss Loland. . .

One of the outstanding new features of the year's work, is the remarkable showing that the new dispensary at the 5th Ward Church compound has made. After several


postponements this dispensary was formally opened on December 1, 1924 with all the ceremony fitting such an occasion, and Dr. Uong Huong-ding was placed in charge. From the very first this experiment fulfilled all of our best expectations and confirmed our previous contentions that the hospital, because of its distance from the city streets, was not reaching the number of ambulatory cases that it ought to. Without decreasing the number of outpatients in the main hospital, Dr. Uong has given in the ten months since the opening of the dispensary, 622 patients a total of 2960 treatments and has taken in $465 in fees and sale of medicines. It is interesting to note that of these cases 80% were people from the city proper, while only 40% of the main hospital's out-patients and 10% of the in-patients were from the city of Kutien itself, the others coming from the outside surrounding towns. The success of this dispensary has led us to venture to build another dispensary at the 18th Township out of some extra funds that were available.

The new class of nurses who entered at China New Year did not have such an easy start as those who had entered under the old regime, but began work as a probationer would at home. Nevertheless, they have their duties as a matter of fact and can do splendid work when supervised, but they do need supervision both in their studies and in practical work. There are five boys in this new class of nurses and three in the second year, all of whom are following the course of study prescribed by the Nurses' Association of China. Three hours a day are spent in classroom work, while the remaining time is devoted to rotary service in the wards, both day and night, and in the laboratory, operating and outpatient rooms. It has been a great joy, time and time again, to find the nurses sitting beside the patients' beds telling them about Jesus and reading to them the wonderful Book, the Bible.

Since last April, apprQximately a third of file inpatients have memorized the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer, and upon leaving the hospital all of these have signified their desire to become Christian~, Sunday is the outstanding day for personal evangelistic work. As soon as our routine work is done, we give each new patient a sheet of paper on which is printed the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, and the Lord's

MISSION MEDICAL WORK FOOCHOW

Prayer. The patient_s have been very easy to work with and I have not yet seen one who has not been willing to listen to the wonderful story of Jesus.

Mission Medical Work Foochow

The new office, laboratory and -drug room, located ill connection with the Mission office building and Book store is now ready for occupancy. We are glad and praise God for the gift from friends in American which made such quarters possible. The number of patients treated in our office remains about the same as last year. Fees from laboratory work pay for 5% to 10% of the cost of its upkeep, while the sale of medicines covers about 60% of the cost of maintaining of the drug room. Most of what we are able to do and pay our associate helpers is paid for by the various schools we serve.

The return of Dr. Coole to Foochow brings joy to the hearts of us all and especially to the Medical work. During recent years the long felt need for more efficient and departmental medical work including the various specialties has been growing. We believe the solution lies in the formation of a Union General Hospital. Three Mission Board secretaries concerned have passed favorably upon the union project. Dr. Coole is now ready to throw his energies unreservedly into the actual building and equipping of our share in the Union Medical work.

Mintsing Dispensary Report

We are very grateful for the erection of this dispensary for because of it we have been able to relieve· many more people from suffering and dying, who, according to the 'Yill of God ought to continue to live.

However we have a great many needs which we feel we must report in the hope that we may have our needs supplied. First we need furnishings and equipment. The Dispensary is beautiful to look at on the outside, but alas the inside has not yet been furnished and equipped. We need iron beds that we might accommodate in-patients, we also need bedding. The medical instruments which we have are not sufficient for our need. Again we need more nurses and coolies. All these defects are due to the shortage of funds, which if we had, would insure wonderful success in the future.

CIU MEMORIAL

Kutien . Social· Center

Tiang ,Cu Hi, Secre.tary

Since it is given to me by the grace and love of God to be His witness, I daily seek for ways in which to express His truth and realize His will. I am 'grateful for the efforts of members and all who have so earnestly sought new members for the Social Center., and who have subscribed money so that the work of the Center could be carried out during the year. My thanks are due to assistance of Ling Deu-ung, Ling Wei-ding, Ma Beng-tiang and Ding Do-cah for their help. Because of their assistance, the work has gone forward in all phases. I present herewith my report of the year's work.

1. General Work Department. A total of $1,043.85 has been raised or received during the year, of which all but $390.00 furnished by the mission and $120.00 by the students has he en the result of the interest and work of friends and members. This has been expended as follows:

Salaries $520.00 Coolie, etc.. ... 72.00 Administration and Miscellaneous 95.00 Social purposes 88.00 Newspapers, books etc. 92.00 Educational work 54.00 Religious work 10.00

2. Membership Board. This year there was formed a Committee to seek new. members and by their success may be judged the prosperity of the Ciu Memorial for this year. At the first of this year there were about 1.40 members, all earnest workers for the memorial. The present membership is as follows:

Ordinary members . Sustaining members Special sustaining members Pastors . Life members Student members Woman members

33.00 27 .. 00 32.00

6.00 5.00

17.00 20.00

pm MEMORAL 65

3. Religious Department. Street preaching has been specially carried on, reaching those who would not otherwise come to hear. These meetings average over fifty hearers. On Sunday afternon a Bible class is held which attracts those of all classes so that the room is crowded, totalling over sixty in number. Three mornings a week a morning prayer meeting is held either by myself or fellow-workers with especial reference to the problems of the Social Center. Added to this, there is the efforts of individuals to evangelize by personal talks, at least three times per week.

4. Educational Department. This year we have carried on a Chinese-English School, having two classes and 41 pupils, according to the new educational rules. There have been two Popular Education Schools, with an enrollment of over fifty, classes held five evenings per week. Emphasis has been laid on the national phoneticscripts, with the hope of aiding the coming of one universal tongue for China's citizens. On Friday evening, a meeting has been held, with subjects such as educational, health, and the like; pictures, newspapers and magazines of interest to all classes are kept, and after being used, sent to the country circuits. Books totalling' over 100 are also stocked, with especial reference to their benefit to society and to youth. During the summer, returned students helped to run Popular Education Schools in the city, there were ovp,r 100 students in attendance .at these schools.

5. Social' relationships Department. It is the purpose of this department to provide healthful recreation for members and others, that their health and morals might be benefitted. A game room with various games is provided. This year, we have added a bathroom, for the use of those who wish it.

6. W .. men's Work. Fortunately the Center has the volunteer services of Miss Tiang Suoi-nguok and Li Ciegieu in aiding with this work. There is a Bible class f-or the women 011 Sunday afternoon, with an attendance of about 15 women. Two special meetings for women are held during the year, with appropriate programs. The last sueh meeting had 80 in attendance. It is hoped to start an industri~l class during the coming year, teaching Bibl~, popular education series, and common knowledge. The ideal· thing would be to engage some qualified woman who could give her full time to this important work. With these important points of th~ so.eial work in Kutien city,


we hope to build a permanent house for extension work in order to provide rooms for the above different departme'nts as otherwise it would be defficult to carryon all this work.

Social Work

The Committee recommends:-

(1) That each circuit should carryon some social work and provide at least one kind of daily newspaper.

(2) That national memorial day be celebrated by each church and social meetings be conducted from time to time according to the need of the community.

(3) That a district traveling library be established for each district.

(4) That each district should plan for each circuit to carry on social work and the district superintendents should be asked to make a special report on social work.

(5) That each circuit should pay more attention to the movements for sanitation and popular education.

Religious Education 1. Resolved that in the districts where committees

on religious education have not been organized we recommend that such committee be organized.

3. Resolved that the 1st Sunday of the 5th Moon the Children's Day be set as the day for the general promotion of the work of religious education in the different churches in the Conference.

4. Resolved that each district be asked to plan an annual institute for the religious educational workers in that district.

5. Resolved that the work of Bible study and family worship should be greatly emphazied next year and that the pastors in the different churches and the class leaders should by personal example, pulpit preaching, and house

MISSION COMMITTEES 67

to house visitation promote the same with the hope that all members in our churches will study the Bible and will have family worship in their homes.

6. Resolved that each district be asked to plan for certain suitable materials for the training of all learners, probationers, and members of the churches in the district.

That of the mission _ standing committees, the conference elect the three Chinese members of the Evangelistic, Medical, Building and Property, Language Study, Legal and Literature committees, and that of these three at least one be a conference member and at least one a layman.

Self-Support

We recommend:-1. That the disabled preachers and the unprogressive

circuits should be discontinued. 2. That the expenditure of the church may be limited

and the field workers be restricted. 3. That the area of the church should be reduced

and the social work should be considered. 4. That the formal fund for the circuit should not be

11.,- That the subscription and -membership make· a 10% increase toward the goal of self-support ..

State of the Church

We r.ecommend that:-1. That we ask all the churches to use "Amen" instead

of ~'Sik Sing Su Nguong." 2. That we use the same words in the Lord's Prayer

as the American Board 'and Anglican Churches do. 3. That the preachers of all the churches should open

a Bible Study class for the non-Christians who are earnest in seeking the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Afterward, they may be accepted as probationers. No probationers can be received as baptized, nor baptized as full members, unless they have attended the Bible study class for six months.

4. That the system of bringing up daughters-in-law, and buying maid-servants, should be abolished in the Christian family. If any Christians already have them, they should be sent to a girls'school to study. After their graduation froma.christian schoo-I, they should be bet:vothed to Christians, if they ~re willing to get married.

5. That the Christians have no right to ·obtain a concubine, nor can their girls to be married as concubines to others. If any Christians would break this law, they should be expelled from the church; and those who perform the wedding ceremony of this kind, and act as go between should receive -the same penalty.

6. That _ the work of friendship with the members of Church should be carried out more effectively by the preachers.

Resolutions l.We tender our earnest thanks to Bishop Brown as

our gracious presiding officer, and to Dr. Gowdy for his services in that capacity during the :first day -of the ·conference.

MARRIAGE AND BURLAL CUSTOMS 69

. 2. Our thanks are due to the pastor and members of Tieng Ang church as our efficient hosts. .

3. We wish to expJ;ess our appreciation to the speakers who have brought us the morning messages, though we have missed hearing the voice of our bishop at these services.

4. We are indebted to the secretaries for their work and hereby express our thanks.

5. We feel that the opportunity for discussion made possible on' this year's program has been beneficial, but feel that between the necessity of getting through conference business and finding time for these discussions, so much hurry and confusion have resulted that no spiritual.uplif+ has been experienced. We deplore this in view of the present special need for such.~ spiritual impact and urge the program committee to bear this in mind in preparing for the next Conferepce session.

6. We urge the Bishop to see that the numerous resolutions passed by this conference be put into effect during the coming year.

Marriage and Burial Customs

The Committee recomends:-A. Regarding marriage customs, 1. That the certificate of marriage must be used. 2. That the marriage ceremony should be performed

to unite in marriage two Christians; and not o:p.e Christian and a non-christian.

3. That Christians in marriage may observe the custom of bowing the head three times to their elders.

4. That our Christians be economical in using money for weddings.

5. That Christians must not take secondary wives and Christian girls must not be engaged to more than one man.

6. That Christians must not -be married to nonchristians.

B. Regarding. burial customs: 1. That Christians abolish the custom of kneeling to

the -dead but may observe the custom of bowing to the dead and to their elders at fUnerals.


2. . T~at Christians ought to av:oid taking any part in non-chrIstIan funerals such as bOWIng to the idol of the dead; in ord~r that no misunderstanding concerning our Christian customs arise.

3. That our Christians may not give any feasts in connection with funerals.

4. That in holding anniversaries for the dead, our Christians abolish the customs of worshipping and offering but in place of these should hold memorial services extolling those virtues of the dead which the living should imitate.

Report Of Secretaries Of The World Service Commission

(Cung-o-buo)

U Seuk Sing. Frank T. Cartwright

Last year there was organized this department with the double name. This was necessary because in Chinese there is no meaning for World Service Commission, while there is nothing in English corresponding to the Chinese name. It was organized because of the double need felt for (a) a group capable of carrying on the work of the Annual Conference and (b) some central agency to reach the scattered districts with information of a general nature. The bishop was asked to appoint two men to do this work in connection with many other duties, so naturally we have not been able to do as much as you or we would like~ At the same time there have been some accomplishments.

During this present year, by your action last year, we were directed to pay special attention to spiritual development of our church, this thru evangelistic campaigns and retreats for the deepening of the inner lives. We secretaries aided by Rev. H! W Worley at one place helped in these meetings. Following the district retreats several of the churches held. such meetings for their members, but at Sieu Liang Dong there was the most elaborate plan because there the church held two, one for men and one for women.

The Commission not only worked for men but also paid some aattention to women's work. There was a representative upon our executive committee, and whatever literature was put out by us was distributed to the women teachers and the Bible women as well as to our men. More than eleven hundred letters were sent out in addition to the other

WORLD SERVICE COMMISSION 71

literature. In cooperation with the other churches in Foochow we made a survey of illiteracy in our membership, but only about two thirds of the pastors responded to our letters so our estimate is quite inconclusive.

We served as the collecting agency for the contributions to the National Christian Council expenses. (The Ek-uang Su-ngiek) and report the following totals received to date:

72 FOOCHOWANNUAL CONFERENCE

Report on Rural Work

(A) The principles.

1. Preaching the Gospel is, of course, our first duty. But when people are hungry and we give them food; thirsty, drink; naked, clothing, we are giving them material aid, while doing our spiritual duty. We remember the parable of sheep and goats . and having seen the poverty and distress of the people, we cannot help also giving them material aid which they so badly need.

2. China is an agricultural country. Her people living in the rural districts occupy eighty-five percent of her total population. Therefore, the problems concerning the improvement of agriculture and forestry have a very intimate relation with the prosperity or decline of the nation and the church. Wishing to save the people from their distress and land them in a safe place, 'we must pay great attention to these problems and wishing to make our church independent and Chinanized, we also must pay our great attention to these problems.

3. Our. country has many mountains. At least twothirds of her entire area are forest-land which is good only for forest~not for agricultural products. As it is badly deforested, it is almost entirely barren. This is one direct cause for poverty, frequent floods and droughts, exceedly cold or hot weather, impure air, poor industry and, weak national defence. Moreover, without forests· the rivernagivation routes will be stuffed up and fertile farms destroyed by sands and stones, resulting in worse transportation and less agricultural product. Forestry has· such tremendous ,effect on every phase of human life and nation. So in our country the :work to promote forestry is more important than to improve agriculture.

4. A Western proverb says, "One ounce of prevention is better than one pound of cure." It is so much better to have preventive methods against disaster than raise money for charity purpose after disaster has come. Improvement of agriculture and forestry and reformation of villages are to prevent disaster from coming. To these lines of·work our church, hitherto, really has not paid any special attention. But these contain various kinds of work

REPORT ON RURAL WORK 73

and certainly cannot all ,be done at- once. This year w-e, therefore, ask to put into practice only these few -most important and easiest works as shown under the following heading.

(B) The management. 1. Besides the work of preaching the Gospel the De

partment for Rural Mission Work may be divided into two parts as follow: '

(a) Improvement of agriculture and forestry. (b) Reformation of villages. The Conference should at once organize a general

department in Foochow for the rural mission work and ask the different superintendents to organize its branches in their respective districts in the Preachers' Meetings which are to be held immediately after the conference.

2. This year this department will put into practice two kinds of work as follow:

(a) Rural survey.

(b) Forestry.

3. In the preachers' Meeting the preachers to be asked at their ealiest convenience to call meetings of members to discuss the question of forestry and decide what methods they should follow, making ready for the members to start work in the first Moon of the coming new year when they have leisure.

4. When the district department is established the district superintendent will report its organization and methods for nlanagement to the general department and when a circuit has organized its members for the forestry work the preacher will report the contents of the organization and the methods to carryon such work to the district department which in turn will report to the general department.

5. The general department has that responsibility to direct, urge and unite the district departments in regard to its work and the district department has the same responsibility toward its circuits.

6. Each superintendent be asked to choose four or five villages which may replCesent the conditions of his whole


district and ask the preachers to make survey of these villages according to the survey-sheets which will be mailed later on by the general department. These sheets should be returned to the general department in two or three months from now.

7. The Finance Committee of the Conference be asked to provide $120.00 for the general department for different expenses as postal stamps, papers and other things.

8. The Union Theology School be asked to provide a general agricultural and forestry course for students sent by the different missions to .study~ in order that they may have a general knowledge of agriculture and forestry.
