R<*at. H e n r y - M a n s e l l , -D .I ) .

The name o f Henry Mansell is as ointment poured fo r th .' To know him was to love him. While he could Renounce sin most vigorously, no sinner could feel that Henry Mansell was other than his fiientl. For 47 years in India he reflected the glory of God’s countenance, and show ed men what God could do for those who walked with Him. His zeal for God, his love for God’s crea­tures, his genetous culture, his sound common sense and his keen discernment well fitted him for the ministry o f the Word in an unbelieving land, and he made full proof o f his ministry. In Lucknow, Moradatad, Gonda, Bareilly, Garhwal, Cawnpore and Mussoorie and in the multitude o f places that he visited in his itineraries, he witnessed for Christ; and the testimony o f his life and conduct .were not inferior to that o f his words.

In c o n fe r e n c e sessions and in revival services he was ever a conspicuous figure, and no social meeting in which an opportunity was given for testimony, failed to be o f interest or profit, because of his indifference or silence. He was sure to take advantage o f ,the earliest opportunity to let his light shine ; and his remarks always brought joy and inspiration to the meeting. As years increased upon him the refinement o f trials made his character appear all the more lovely, and it was evident that because o f his own experience of suffering he was able to sympathize with those who were afflicted.

Henry Mansell was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, i lth Novem­ber, 1834. A fter graduating from Meadville College and preaching for three years in the Pittsburg Conference he came out to India in 1863 with T. J. Scott, T. S. Johnson, and P. T. Wilson, all o f whom did long and conspicuous service in India. The first thirty years

i o f his missionary service were in connection with the North India Conference, but he became a charter member of the North West India Conference on its organization in 1893 and from 1893 to 1900 inclusive was in charge o f the Philander Smith Institute, Mussoorie. Under his administration the school was freed from

‘¡V; debt, and won for itself a leading place among the schools for ijjj European boys in India. At t! e same time he was also Presiding j j " j i Elder o f the Mussoorie District, which at that time also embracedI-; what are now the Eoorkee and the Pan jab D istricts; and for much !-J' o f the time was also Pastor o f the English Church in Mussoorie. '

When he felt that the time had come to retire he made his resi- V dence in Mussoorie and as he had time and strength assisted in k Ih e work o f both the English and Hindustani congregations, and

his assistance was much appreciated by those in charge o f the work. A few years ago he'suffered a stioke o f paralysis, but recoverd sufficiently to spend his. remaining days in tolerable com ­fo r t and considerable usefulness. Almost to the end his place in the congregation was regularly filled and he ke| t up his bazaar

« preaching' and tract distribution When he could do this no longer he consented a year ago to go back to America and live with his daughter, Mrs. Monroe, in Bristol, Conn. His w ife preceded him to the Better Land a few years, but he had com fortable homes with his daughter, Mrs. Monroe and his son Dr. W. A. Mansell, until Mrs. Monroe was compelled to return to America, and later his son was obliged to go home fo r a health trip. Still Henry Mansell would not leave his beloved India until it was clear that he could no longer be o f service to her. In the home of Mrs. Monroe oh 8th November, 1911 the old w arrior dropped his l attle-scarred ; rmour and went home to live and reign for ever with his great Command­er. His son and two.daughters had the melancholy satisfaction

“ W hereas, we have many and repeated assurances that it is the earnest desire o f many in the Church to meet these conditions and strengthen the work,

“ Resolved, that we form ally and urgently request the General Conference to take such action as may be necessary to in ure proper support of the work on the field, and, to this end, to reorganize the Board o f Foreign Missions and the General Com­mittee, that the work may be committed to a body or bodies, so arranged, constituted and led; as to insure the carrying on o f the M issions o f bur great Church in a manner worthy o f it and the cause.”

Reports of Committees,Bareilly Theological Seminary

Your committee visited the Theological Senrnary at Bareilly, and found twenty-two men from this Conference, thirty-three from North India and five from Bengal and C. P. Tiht class work indicated the close attention of the students. The chapel exercises give opportunity for practise in preach­ing, reading the Bible and hymns in public. These are critisised ly the senior students and faculty.

The arrangements for sanitary and medical supervision are especially commendable. The new dormitory fills a jrrent need.

W e would call special attention to the religious life and activity of the students. I visited some of the muhalla S. S's. conducted by them; and found them fam iliar w ith this work. The spiritual supervision and personal contact by the faculty are all that could be expected of men so heavily bu*( ened. The devotion with which the work is carried on leads us to feel this institu­tion and faculty.should have the heartiest support and prayers of all.

Report of the Muttra Mission Training School for the year 1911.

The Staff.— There have been a number of changes in the teaching staff during the year, but not to the detriment of the school. Although Miss Adelaide Clancy was transferred from here in January, Miss Iiidley Clancy, who was here in her own home, kindly consented to teach in the English department. This she did without remuneration, but at the close of the year, the school was able to give her a little compensation for her services. At its last session the W F. M. S. Finance Committee, o f the Northwest India Conference, estimated for a regular salary for Miss Ridley Clancy for the coming year, which we trust we shall receive, thus enabling us to 'keep her as a teacher in the school.

A new teacher, Nanhi Ram. a graduate of this year, has been employed and is now teaching in the Preparatory department.

The Students.— The total enrolment o f the year has been seventy-eighth Four of these have been in the English department, nine in the class for village women. These represent six missions, as follow s: Methodist 54. Church Missionary Society .15, Baptist 3. London Missionary Society 4. Union 1, Village 1, and from twenty-two mission stations.

O f the nine girls who finished the course, three are working in Muttra (one teaching in the Boarding school, one in the Vernacular Training school, and one in the zenana w ork ). Tw o married students in the Bareilly Theo­l o g i c a l Seminary. Five-have returned to the missions which sent them, and so far as I know there is but one, wlio is not in mission service and she may soon be employed.

The Practical W o r k — In addition to going everv day in turns to the zenanaTiud occasionally to the muhallas, a regular Sunday 'school class has been conducted in the city by one of the students, and fifty-seven villages have been visited by students o f the school, superintended by the Principal and tlie Preacher in charge of the circuit. This gave all the students o f the Senior class experience in evangelistic work. There is no work in the year which s em sso to interest and fascinate them, as this village work, difficult as it is. They gladly start early, and return late, undergo the fatigue of many miles of jolting and walking, and irregularities of food and water— in­variably returning m good spirits.

The principal spent from November 21st to December 9th 3910, travfellinc in the interests o f the school and missionary work, visiting Baroda Bom­bay. Pco.na, Hyderabad, Yikarabad, Khandwa and Jabalpore. The resul+s o f suck a trip eannot-be immediately apparent, but some interest has been awakened and some students have come to the school.

REPORTS OF C O M M IT T E E S.

At the annual meeting o f the Board o f Trustees, held in Lucknow in October, it was felt that the need of workers and the opportunity for serv ice should be kept before t’he young people in the schools of this cou n try Miss Gregg was elected Travelling Secretary for the Institution.

Some high caste converts, from the zenanas, have been sent to us for teaching and training, largely by other missions.

W e feel that the number o f Matriculation Pass Indian girls who take the Bible training should and could be greatly increased.

Miss McKnight was nominated Principal by the Board of Trustees for the coming year.

Miss M E, Gregg was nominated as the representative of the North­west India Conference, for the ensuing two years, making the full representa­tion.

Report of Committee on Self-Support.W e are glad to report that the progress in self-support for the past year

has been the greatest in the history of our conference. In some circuits the contributions are more than one-fourth o f the total mainteinance of the Church. The fact that " it is more blpssed to give than to receive,” is becoming more appreciated than ever before.

W e are especially encouraged by the growth of the Prem Sabha, and the success in the direction of self-support that has been attained by this organ­ization. In Agra an evangelist is fully paid by the Prem Sabha, ajid they hope soon 10 assume thp support o f another one.

One special cause for thankfuln1 ss is the rise o f the Laymen’s Movement in the Indian Church. This is started on right lines, and we hope for much help from this organization

W e would lay special em basis on the tithe system for the entire Church, believing that when the whole tithe is brought into the storehouse the spirit­ual blessing we seek for the Church will be poured out in great measures.

Report of the Committee on Aggressive Evangelism.

We recommend that a month of special evangelistic campaign be made from February 15th to March 15th.

The aim of this campaign is not to multiply baptisms, but to labour for the deepening of spiritual life o f our Christians, the conversion of those who are nominal Christians, as well as non-Christians, to the Lord Jesus Christ. We-would urge that this aim be kept definitely upon the hearts and minds of all our workers.

W e recommend that all missionaries plan to spend the entire month in district work. As many Train ing School students as will be helpful in the work' may be taken to assist in the villages and mohullas. W e further sug­gest that" the effort in the schools be made at some other convenient time. Easter time is suggested as being very suitable. W e also urge that each con­vert be encouraged to do definite personal work ; that those who can read be encouraged to teach others, or at least to read Bible chapters to those who cannot read.

W e recommend that so far as possible the workers, both men and women be colleicted in the Circuit centers, for a day, or if possible, several days, of preparatory prayer. It must be kept constantly before the workers that the battle is not ours, but Jesus Christ’s. Nearness to Him in constant prayer and devotion is the worker’s secret o f power. That definite prayer for special cases must be continued. So far as possible the workers should go in preaching, bands. This however must in no wise preclude personal work.

Follow -up work must be done. It has been found from personal ex- perience'tbat the best way to preserve the results of a revival is to get everybody to work. The workers will need help in directing the village con ­verts to work for Christ, The children must not be forgotten, but given constant care and direction in bringing other children to the Lord. The cliaudris and chaudrians must bp directed in helping their people to live up to the Christian standard, both in life and in giving to the support o f the Church.

, The use o f literature will be found indispensible in this campaign. This should be given freely. W e are glad to be able to say that this may be obtained at half price from the North India Tract Society for use during this month. A large supply is also available at the M. E. Publishing House, Lucknow, free o f charge.

. .Lastly we wish to^again plead for united and, persistent prayer for the blessing of God upon this work, remembering the wprd. o f the M aster who :

6 4 REPO RTS OF C O M M IT T E E S.

State of the Clivircli.The statistics for the year show 12,143 baptisms., and a total

Christian community o f 106,457 sou ls ; 1,500 Christian w orkers; pro­perty valuation, Rs. 11,79,588; raised for ministerial support, Rs. 17,499 and a large increase in colportage. ,

In some districts, the Arya Samaj has been secretly, if not open­ly, hostile ; while the Hindu and Mohammedan communities are more generally opposed than form erly to Christian teaching. Plague conditions have also prevailed. Nevertheless, the mass movement is unusually marked, and much effort has been exerted to strengthen and develop the village Christians. Training schools for pastor-teach- ers multiply, and the hostel is proving helpful in connection with our schools. The Chamars, Doms and .Kols are more than ever responsive to the Gospel message, especially on the Meerut, M uttra, Delhi and Eoorkee Districts.

Though our appropriations for the work were not increased, and the cultivation o f special g ifts is increasingly difficult, the Church has grown in membership and spirituality, and greater progress has been made than ever in our Conference, through the Prem Sabha, tithe and other methods, towards self-support.

ALLAHABAD DISTRICT.F. B. P rice , D istrict S u perin ten dent-

The ancient city, Prayag. meaning sacrifice, at the confluence of the Ganges and the Jumna rivers, was for centuries and still is a noted resort fo r pilgrims. In 1584, A. D., Akbar the Great named it Ilababas, meaning city of idols, which was afterwards changed to Alla­habad, or city of God. Would that this name were characteristic!

But the material and social status of the modern city has steadily improved. Being the capital o f the United Provinces, the junction of several railway systems, and the seat of thé University with which the leading schools and colleges o f North India are affiliated, it is also the center o f our mission district, which extends into the four civil districts, Allahabad, M irzapur, Benares and Banda. While other mis­sions are represented, the field is large and populous, and all the agencies are needed in making Christ known. As it is the most east­ern portion o f our conference, our mission has practically no w ork be­yond. it on the Grand Chord, all the way from Moghal Sarai to As- ansol.

E nglish W ork .

Our Allahabad Eng'lish Church ministers to the European and Ango-Indian community not otherwise connected, including students, soldiers, Government and railw ay employees and their fam ilies, and reinforces all our work. The pastor is also chaplain o f the Wesleyan troops and in charge o f the district. A change o f regiments çarly in the year lessened the income from this source. The records, how ­ever, show continuous life and usefulness of the Church since 1873, when the Rev. Dennis Osborne was first appointed pastor. His widow Mrs. Osborne, has lately located permanently with us. Though the membership, from year to year, has fluctuated, the past year has w it­nessed substantial growth, in attendance, spirituality, income and ac­tivity. The edifice has been repaired at a cost o f Rs. 550 and new matting, library books and other features were introduced chiefly through the kindness o f Mr. E. W. Fritchley, who also assisted in special meetings. Mr. R. T. Hodson has regularly prepared picture illustrations o f the Sunday school lessons and the school is thriving The Epworth League has also assisted in various ways. A total o f Rs 2;462 has been realized toward self-support, o f which sum Rs. 661 only come from military allowances. The coronation o f the King-Em- peror was appropriately observed according to the programme pre­pared by our Bishops. In November, a second series of evangelistic services was held, when we were assisted by Rev. E. Stanley Jones ; m any persons, including children of the Sunday school, yielding to Christ.

Hindustani Work*

The boys’ school, Allahabad, under the head-mastership o f H. B Gray, w hich has been recognized by the education department as a

M iddle Anglo-Vernacular school, has an enrollment o f over""two- hun

7 0 DISTRICT SUPERI2sTEI^DEK,TS, REPORTS.

dred pupils, o f whom twenty or more are boarders, chiefly orphans. These boarders do their own cooking, washing, and assist in making their own clothes and other forms of work. Three o f the older boys are now employed in the Government Press, and others will soon be able to support themselves. Industrial training is needed, but we lack facil­ities. Many experiments are tried in the hope of promoting self-help. While nearly all o f the day scholars are non-Christians, they afford opportunity fo r Christian influence; and their fees aid largely toward meeting the current expenses. The Bible is daily taught in all the standards.

The girls ’ school, in charge o f Miss B. F. Crowell, has had a suc­cessful year, in face o f the threatened discontinuance o f the institu­tion, which, for twelve successive years, has done effective work. The principal has also assisted in other forms of our w ork ; and, now that she is about to take furlough after six years’ service, a successor is urgently needed. The Bible women here, also under direction o f Miss Crowell, have been useful.

Allahabad Hindustani Church and circuit, in charge o f Daniel Buck, besides providing for both of our schools, aims to reach the educated people, as well as the depressed and more populous classes. These latter as usual, respond most readily to the prospect of material benefit. The Christians among them favor the Prem Sab ha, or fellow ­ship meeting, usually opened with devotional exercises and follow ed with social features o f their own choosing. But many o f them lack spiritual life. During tin* united services held with the Presbyterians at the Shahr ki Nak, or nose o f the city, the pastor and helpers, includ­i n g t h e boarding boys, co-operated. And they distributed tracts and scripture portions to the multitudes of pilgrims at the great mela. A number of self-supporting helpers have lately been assigned to definite work.

Banda Circuit, in charge o f Bhola Nath, though handicapped by lack o f workers, has made some advance. An exhorter, having but one arm and one leg, manages to do village work, while his w ife assists as an evangelist teacher. The Church building, which had become dilapidated, has been repaired and the present outlook is more favour^ able. We are pained, however, to report that Bhola Nath’s daughter, Dolly, who was employed as a doctor in the Dufferin Hospital at Nag­pur, and had managed to support her husband until he passed his B.A. a year ago, but had received no help from him since, was murder­ed by hiin on Christmas day in Nagpur, iiev. and Mrs. Musser render­ed timely assistance to the fam ily in their sore bereavement.

Chunar Circuit, in charge o f Joseph Nelson, suffered early in the year from unfaithful workers whom we were obliged to dismiss and replace with others more trustworthy. Plague prevailed in Chunar, and of late, in M oghal Sarai, retarding our work in both places. In Chunar. an exchange of property for a more suitable location is con­templated. The pastor reported fifty-six baptisms up to November 1, and many more inquirers ready for baptism, when we can care fo r them. Some o f our poor Christians on this circuit have been per; secuted 6y their heathen neighbours. For example, three brothers and their families -were brutally assaulted at night, and next day were accused o f stealing. On false evidence, they were lodged in jail, where they were kept three months pending trial, first before the Deputy Col­lector and afterward, the Sessions Judge. In December, they were released on bail o f Es. 750, their pastor standing security for .thegi. The men had already sold their cattle and belongings for sufficient money to obtain justice, and their fam ilies were brought to the verge o f starvation. Finally, on the 30th o f December, the case against these men was dismissed and they were released, to the great joy of their pastor and their people.

ALLAHABAD DISTRICT. 7 1

Ivarwi, Mauikpur, Manjlianpur (now Bharvvari) and Sliankargarh circuits, in charge o f Padris Bhikha Singh, K. H. Joseph, Simon Jacob, and Baldeo Parshad, respectively, have held their own, with some in­crease o f membership and self-support. The mission property has been repaired, and some re-adjustment of the workers had proven advan­tageous. On these circuits, and especially in the region o f Mauikpur and Cliunar, the Kols and Doms are quite accessible; the Chamars are also numerous, and we are endeavoring to reach them.

G eneral.

Early in the year, a three days’ meeting o f all our preachers in charge was held in Allahabad to promote their spiritual life and plans o f work ; for, as Bishop Thoburn was w ont to say “ We must make the best fire we can with the sticks we have.”

The District Training School and conference was held in Allaha­bad, October 10th to 30th inclusive, when all the workers and their fam ilies came together. Class work, discussion o f practical problems, and evangelistic services proved a wholesome stimulus. Bishop Warné, the Eeverend Messrs. B. T. Badley, G. D. Presgrave, Mr. Stanes and others rendered valuable aid. Two candidates were recommended for admission to Bareilly Seminary, where we now have three students from our district. Another, who was graduated from there last month, is at work on Bharwari Circuit.

Though the Swadeshi, or national spirit, is less pronounced than formerly, it is still in evidence among- both Hindus and M ohammedans ; while thè attitude o f the Arya Samaj is secretly, if not openly, hostile.

We are pleased to state that the leases on both properties in Alla­habad have been renewed upon the same terms as before, and for a period o f fifty years ^notwithstanding the fact that the delayed applica­tion threatened forfeiture o f such consideration. All the buildings are in good repair.

E ffort has been made throughout the year to promote self-support^ both o f the English and Vernacular work, on the principle that mis­sion help should be given only in proportion to actual need. Every motive and method for free-will offerings has been faithfully urged; but, apart from the customary chanda o£ the workers, and through the poverty or indifference o f the people, the response has been un­satisfactory. Of the three progressive stages, helpless, helped and helping, they are chiefly in the second stage.

As on other districts, most o f our work depends on special gifts, only $620 or Bs, 1,860 coming for this purpose through the regular appropriation. Many form er patrons had discontinued their rem it­tances,or directed them elsewhere, before we took charge ; but we have endeavored both to re-establish their interest and to enlist others ; yet the income from such sources is at best precarious. How to main­tain and foster the grow ing work o f this district, w ithout reinforce­ments and increased support, is for our Indian Church and the Church at home to answer.

In conclusion, I desire to state that Mrs. Price has constantly help­ed 'both in the English work in Allahabad, and in the Vernacular w ork throughout the district, caring also for the Bible women on the country circuits, and assisting in every effort to promote Christ’s K ing­dom. .tfor her devotion, and the co-operation o f our fellow -w orkers on the field and in America, together with God’s unmerited blessing, I àm devoutly thankful.

72 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS.

CAWNPORE DISTRICT.W . E. T om lin son , D istrict Superin tendent.

This is my sec ond annual report of the Cawnpore district. It is written with gratitude to God for preservation in health, for blessing1 upon the workers and the work, and for the co-operation o f friends at home during the year. It ’s aim is to show that progress has been made and to relate a few incidents which may help my readers at home to see how the work which they are supporting is actually carried on. I shall review it under three heads : Evangelistic, Educational and industrial.

E vangelistic AVork.

The English Church in Cawnpore is in charge o f the Rev. O. D. Wood, who came out a year ago to give his whole time to this important work which includes the chaplaincy to the Wesleyan troops o f the garrison. Brother Wood has found a warm place in the hearts o f his people, as is shown by the steady attendance at the services and the payment o f his salary by the congregation. This Church has a long record o f usefulness ministering to a community in Cawnpore to which Methodism seems providentially called.

The Vernacular W ork— My report of a year ago gave but a meagre account o f the work of the circuits for the reason that I had been held to Cawnpore during the year by duties from which I was not relieved by the coming o f our tw o new missionaries until the end o f 1910. Hence there remains to me the privilege o f now recording some of the experiences gained from my first prolonged itinerary over the district.

During our sojourn of six days 011 the Auriya circuit we drove to as many as possible of the villages which are thickly scattered be­tween the larger towns. A glimpse of one o f these visits w ill give my readers some idea of them all.

The road to Keotra is six miles of the roughest travelling I ever did. The distance may be covered in a heavy bullock cart, or a little faster and with worse jolting, on an ekka, as M-rs. Tomlinson and I went. Two helpers have preceded us on foot, and the whole village witnesses our arrival. We are to be treated as guests o f honour by a wealthy landowner of the village—a Hindu. This means, not that we are to dine in his house, but that we may rest in a small enclosure which faces a red sandstone temple. It is almost noon and we spread our lunch while the Bible woman with us makes the tea. Our meal is not to be in private. A large crow d has gathered on the temple steps • and is looking down upon us with rare curiosity. Here is an opportunity. Our host consents to our conducting a service—indeed one or two young men who happen to-be at home on a holiday from a college in Allahabad, have already asked for a “ lecture,” hoping, like the Athenians o f old, to hear some new things. Never until I became a missionary, did I appreciate the wonderful universality o f the Gospel o f Jesus. The Orient is its true setting, and there is just the right parable for every village crowd. For half an hour I preach - to this motley gathering upon the steps o f a Hindu temple which, though comparatively new, already bears evidence o f the grow ing indifference Of the people to its idol o f stone.

But this, glorious opportunity that it is, is not the main ob ject o f our visit to the village. Where are the Christians o f this place? Alas ! they are not to be found in this company. The people whom God hath chosen here are the outcasts who dare not mingle with these. We must go to them. Our way leads through narrow, dirty lanes, down

C A 'W X P O R E r>IST«ICT. 7 3

the hillside to the outermost mohulla o f the village. Here we find ourselves w ith a little group of Christians representing several families, with some o f the members away in the fields. We seat our­selves on the rope beds which have been brought out and placed on a cleanly swept spot in front o f the house. The jjeop le squat before us and the meeting1 begins." Perhaps I have not done well to select Keotra as a typical village, for the work is new here, and our Christ­ians, I fear, bear no striking contrast to the non-Christians among whom they live. The women keep their faces covered, as do their Hindu sisters, several have crude ornaments in their ears and noses or upon their ankles. Some stand shyly aloof, and all are plainly aware that many from the crowd at the temple have followed us to the brow o f the hill and are viewing from afar this second meeting with no charitable feelings. These high caste people understand full well that Christianity means to uplift these poor outcastes. And then who will do the menial work o f the village? Thus they reason, al­though our teaching is that Christianity does not require our people to leave their form er employment, however humble it may be. We have1 g'ood reason to fear that when we have gone our poor converts w ill be threatened and perhaps oppressed by those upon whom they are dependent fo r means of.livelihood. Will it be very surprising if, in the Government census which is being taken at this very time, some o f them, intimidated by the enumerator, who may happen to be their employer, fear to have themselves enrolled as Christians?

And yet, even in this meeting, it may be seen how rapidly they are gaining courage and are coming into their herit age as Christians. For, after the “ bhajans ” have been sung and the gospel story told in the simplest possible way, the missionary finds that there are several candidates for baptism who now come forward, prepared by previous instruction. A “ collection,” is taken before the meeting closes, for our people, though poor, must learn to give. There is no cash,, but an offering, eggs and possibly a chicken, all o f which are to be sold by the preacher-in-charg-e and the proceeds applied on the work o f the circuit.

We .visit another mohulla, hold a simlar meeting with a larger crowd o f non-Christians as hearers o f the Word, and then return to our host, knowing full well that we are presuming- a good deal upon his Oriental courtesy in entering his house again after m ingling with the “ outcastes.” It is toward evening when, with many salaams, we leave the village with the blessed satisfaction that we have spent the day there much as Jesus would have done—ministering to the lowly, patronized by the unsympathizing rich, and declaring the truth of Gocl to all.

A month later the preacher in charge writes me that plague has broken out in Keotra for the first time.in its history, and the -super­stitious people, misled by those who know better, are saying that this calamity is the result of the visit o f the missionaries who must have distributed pills which caused'the outbreak. And the Christians of the village are blamed as accomplices. -r -

Striking camp we set out from Auriya along the well-built G ov­ernment road to Madhogarb, 16 ‘miles away. One incident oil this circu it will help to show how our work is being received in many places by the higher classes.

The Raja o f Rampura has for a long time been showing himself very fr ien d ^ -to our preacher in charge, and now we make our firsi visit to him.- On our arrival we are.directed to tarry at the hospital, Which the.Raja’s benevolence has erected for his people, until the hour o f interview.. In the meantime a generous breakfast is sent t o u b , and even our servants and horses are fed from the R aja ’s bounty.

.A fter .considerable delay w.e are summoned to the paiaoe. It is a

great fortress, constructed when its high, frowning walls were a foniiidable protection from the attacks" o f unfriendly neighbours. Passing through several inner courts we are ushered into the Diwan 1 Khass, or audience chamber. We ai e somewhat disappointed that it is a plain court room with little of the oriental splendour which we had expected. The secretaries and clerks leave off their work, and the household bf several hundred servants gathers without. Another op­portunity ! Yes, the lia ja w ill be glad to have us bold a service, and he calls for bis Biblé and hymn book which our preacher had sold to him several months before. I turn to the wonderful discourse ou Mar’s hill. The Raja is one o f that grow ing class in India who, through contact with Western ideals, have lost faith in idol worship. But he as yet has no serious thought of embracing Christianity him ­self. Nevertheless his attitude toward oui- work offers a splendid opportunity among his people, and he has built a raised platform in the bazar for out preaching.

Fatehgarh is numerically the second largest circuit o f the d is­trict, and in fruitfulness is excelled by none. It is a great delight to me to report at last the building o f a preacher's house here. For some time the workers had been depositing their tithe in the Bank with a view to building a Church. Several spècial gifts from home had also been received for the same purpose. But the fund grew so slowly that when last summer the rent on the house occupied by the preach­er in charge was raised exhorbitantly.it seemd expedient to proceed with the erection o f a preacher’s house, instead of a Church, on the land already owned. About this time also another g ift was received from friends in Kansas which opened the way to thè solution of our problem. We now have in F&tehgarh a substantial house o f brick, with masonry roof and a central room large enough to hold meetings in.

It is my desire to build at least one preacher’s house à year until we have a substantial building like this one at the head-of every cir­cuit. This w ill save an annual waste o f money on rents and repair­ing poor houses.

I f what I have written above w ill suffice ás a glimpse of the work In thepe three circuits, I need not take my readers over the remaining six, for conditions, opportunities and needs are much the same in them all. There have been an increased number of baptisms Over last year in spite o f the fact that we havè refused to baptise where we could not care for the new converts.* , The large Hindustani Congregation in Cawnpore, welt organized w ith Official"Board,'Epworth and Junior Leagues and a large- Sunday school, and providing the salary o f the pastor, and all current expérí- ses, beside contributing well to the benevolences, is worthy o f its place at the head o f the district.

An incident in the Cawnpore work bf the year, to which I wish to give special mention, is the coming to usQ f a, fine young man ië - claimed from Aiobammedaiiism and now doing excellent work among the Moslems of the city. I expected that he would ask to be. sent' ‘to a n o th e r station t o avoid persecution. But no,, he wanted t o preach Christ in the bazar's o f his own city. So’ l have made him the- center o f à special work for Mohammedans in Cawnpore, and have opened à book depot for him in the city. He is preaching- to large crowds in th e bazar three times a week, and the young men o f the Church, with the older boys o f oiir Hostel, are 'd ivided into three ‘ barid's' :0f open-air workérs to support hinpi in these meetings. He is a fearless and eloquent prèàcher, and has an influence which promises to be fruitfu l among the young men who were his form er pupils in the local Mohammedan divinity school. Bishop W árné has been helping me to support Matthew, but if a patron for him is hot found before long- his

CAAVNPORE DISTRICT. 75

salary w ill be a problem for me. I am hoping to, hear from some one who feels enough interest in this most difficult work o f winning- Mo­hammedans to Christ to make Matthew his o w d representative in i t .

Tithing, - The district has done well in self-support this year. Every preaeher and Bible woman is a voluntary tither, not one having' dropped out o f the plan begun in 1909; and the few new workers taken on have readily fallen in with it. The tithe has yielded Rs. 305 ($303*00), and the collections—largely from the Cawnpore con ­gregation, but not including the English work—have a mounted to Rs. 533 ($1178*00) . This makes a total o f Rs. 1,4381 ($480-00) forself-support. Early in the year the “ Blessing pots” —earthen vessels set apart for gifts o f flour, rice, eggs etc.—were introduced, and the number being used in our Christian families is increasing. In Cawn- pore a Tithers’ League for laymen was recently begun with 20 mem­bers, several o f whom had been tithing before but entered now into this organization with the beginners.

Colportage.—Our workers are taught that everj- Methodist is an agent for the distribution o f Bibles, Scripture portions, good books and tracts. The constant emphasis put upon this important work in the Quarterly and District conferences has resulted in a very good advance over last year’s sales and free distribution.

E du cationa l W ork .

Boys' School .—Our educational work in Cawnpore is extensive and important. The Central School has had the banner year o f its history thus far. The enrollment has reached ¿09, including 65 Christians, 70 Hindus and 74 Mohammedans, of all ages from the little beginners to the lads in the YI1I class. With the lbcal income from tuition fees and Government grant the expense of running this school will be well covered when I can find a patron for the Head Master. I am hoping that some one will be found who appreciates the value o f Christian educational work in the heart of a great Indian city enough to give this institution a lift next year.

Boys' Hostel— Sixty Christian boys are housed here. More could be received, but this is all I can find patrons for at present; and it takes considerable correspondence to fceep sixty friends at home in­terested at $20*00 per year. Some o f them really pa.y less than this while in the Hostel there are extra expenses in the course o f the year which increase the annual cost o f maintaining the work above the total income from scholarships to such an extent that this is the most burdensome department o f the work. But we shall stand ly our Christian boys—the men of the Church of tom orrow. The material is our very own, and we cannot begrudge the money tspended on them. We need more patrons immediately at $20*00 each.

W. F. M. S. Schools.—This Society has two large schools in Cawn­pore. The Girls’ High School, ably conducted by Miss Lawson and Miss Richmond, is a part of our English work. The Hudson Memorial School for Hindustani girls, in the center o f our vernacular work, has been prospering, with Miss Aaronson in charge since Miss K ra ft’s health failure early in the year.

In dustria l W ork .When I wrote my report a year ago Mr. W. G. Murphy had just

arrived from England to take charge of our industrial work. He has now completed his first year well on the road to success. The W ork­shop has had a good year. The difference between the income from cash sales o f furniture made during the year and the current.expenses is more tha,n covered by the stock o f lumber and furniture now on hand which Mr, Murphy has put in.

And miK-li has been accomplished in realizing that which is the real object o f this work. The natural tendency of the Indian mind to despite manual labor as compared with purely intellectual pursuits is being- overcome in our boys. Most o f them now7 take a genuine interest in the work. Our system contributes to th is: All the woylcis under the supervision o f an experienced head carpenter who is assisted by several other skilled workmen on salaries. Our older boys, as fast as they become proficient, are put in charge o f their own benches, w ith several younger lads as helpers. In this way the work has the necessary supervision, and every one o f the sixty boys o f our Hostel thus spends three hours each m orning before going" to his classes in Central School. Every boy is paid what he earns, and from this he keeps a small allowance for pocket money, and pays the rest for his board* There are also now a number o f “ whole-time” v orkers—boys who, being backward in their studies,have asked to be allowed to give their whole time to the shops, paying half their earnings, up to Rupees fou r per month, to the Hostel for their board and clothes.

There are substantial improvements in buildings and equipment wbich should be made next year, Half o f the present building is so dilapidated thut it must be replaced before the next rainy season, while a new roo f must be put over the whole. 1 have in hand an estimate covering this for $600-00, half o f which can probably be obtained from Government when the other $300*00 is found by the Mission.

The Director of Industries o f the United Provinces recently in­spected our workshops and expressed himself as well pleased with what he found. 1

D istrict C on feren ce .The w ork o f the year culminates in the gathering o f all our

workers in D istrict Conference. The aim is to make this a most profitable time fo r the fa ith fu l workers who have so few advantages fo r self-improvement in the course o f the year.

The considerable expense of holding this gathering was agqin covered by the generous g ift o f Mr. Henry Date, o f Chicago, to whom the grateful brethren sent a resolution of appreciation.

TO D IS T R IC T S U P E R IN T E N D E N T S ’ REPO RTS.

DELHI DISTRICT.F. M. W ilson , D istrict Superin tendent.

The Delhi D istrict is this month celebrating its first anniversary. The year just closed has had varied experiences and equally varied w ork for the-District Superintendent and has presented many prob­lems for solution. Many o f these problems are still unsolved, but it is w ith deep gratitude to Him who has promised to instruct and teach that I acknowledge His leadership throughout the year, and His rich blessing upon the work.

T he D istrict.

The Delhi D istrict includes five Government districts with a pop»- ulation o f about three million, and is not occupied by any other missions, except the Society for thé Propagation o f the Gospel and thte English Baptist Mission. These are working in a few centres only, and among but one or tw o castes. A mutual agreement betwéén

D E L H I D IST R IC T .

the three missions has produced the utmost harmony in the present, and there seems to be no reason to expect anything but the same harmony and co-operation for the future.

Buildings.

Our mission owns no property in Delhi. The Church services are héld in the rented house of the preacher in charge, and I lived in a rented house until the extravagant rents because o f the Durbar, com­pelled me to vacate the house I was occupying; and since then I have lived in tents, mud houses, and dak bungalows.

Institu tions.Owing to the fact o f having no property of our own and the

knowledge that the temporary quarters we were renting would soon have to be vacated on account of the Durbar, there has been no attempt to form a Training school this year, but it is an imperative need o f the immediate present, and must be one of the first accom­plishment of the new year.

A Primary Vernacular school lor boys is a need o f the near future, and there must be one in Delhi as soon as possible, as there is no pro­vision within the bounds o f the district, either iu mission or Govern­ment schools for the education o f the children o f most o f the Christ­ians reached through the mass movement.

Christian Com m unity .The report for last year o f the territory now included in the Delhi

District showed a Christian community o f five thousand three hundred and eighty-eight. A careful revision of the Church records during the past year shows a large number o f deaths and removals during previous years which had not been noted in the records, and so the number o f Christians shown in the report of last year was consider­ably larger than the actual number then living in the district.

There have this year been thirteen hundred and thirty-five bap­tisms, and there are at present a large number of inquirers ready for baptism, and a multitude asking for instruction preparatory to becom ­ing Christians. The indications are that with men and money enough to care for those wishing to become Christians, within three or four years pratically all o f the sweeper caste o f the district, and a large per cent, o f the Chamars could be won to. Christ.

E vangelism .

Much time has been spent this year in evangelistic work, and as a result a large number have professed conversion. In March Bishop Warne spent ten days with me visiting some of the villages o f the district on an evangelistic tour, during which many Christians were richly blessed, and several hundred villagers were baptised.

The tenth o f March was a specially interesting day. In the after- nooD, after a long trip on a bullock cart, we reached a village where there were more than a hundred inquirers. We held a meeting in which the people were carefully catechised,and Bishop Warne baptised every man, woman, and child o f the muhalla present, except one. During the service, and until its close men and women who had been in the fields when we came, and who had heard that there was a fchance t6 receive baptism, came running from the fields, and with their tools still in their hands, presented themselves fo r baptism.

The one man who did not receive baptism that day had been bap­tised in a neighbouring village nineteen years before, but the - mission

workers had lost track o f him. It was through his life • and teaching that the people o f this muhalla became Christians. As we were pre­paring to leave this village, this man and another whom he had called a few weeks before to help him instruct the people, besought us to go to some o f the near-by villages where the people were ready for bap­tism. They were so urgent that although night was at hand, and we had a long trip back, we went to another village, and it was well worth while, for several hundred people, having heard from a fo re ­runner that we were coming, had gathered and were awaiting us. . We found these people also prepared, and the head man of the muhalla having broken down the than, in the presence o f the patwari and several zamindars, while the villagers joined us in singing “Jai, jai, jai, jai, Masih ki jai,” all the people of the muhalla were baptised. This being the evening o f the day when the decennial census was taken, the patwari so changed the names o f the people of this muhalla that they appeared as Christians rather than as Hindus. He then hastened to his superior officer to boast that he had done something that no one else in India had ever done “ changed six hundred Hindus to Christ­ians in one evening.”

These people have grown wonderfully in Christian life, and have gone out to the neighbouring villages and taught and pled with their friends to such purpose that more than three hundred have embraced Christianity, o f whom more than one hundred have been admitted to the Church, and the remainder are still awaiting baptism.

One married woman from this muhalla went back to h er girlhood home, and her enthusiastic testimony resulted in a petition for bap­tism from about one hundred people of that village for baptism.

At the beginning o f the year an American tourist asked me “ Had you the men and the money to man your district fully, how many bap­tisms do you think you could have during the year?” My answer was “ I think not less than one thousand.” In spite of having adopted -a conservative policy with reference to baptisms, and having established rather rigid conditions, we have been compelled to baptise more than thirteen hundred people this year, or make them feel that our seeking to win them to Christ was a mere pretense.

There have be>u severe persecutions but these have seemed to ,a id rather than retard the spread o f Christianity, for the increase is great­est in those circuits where the persecution is most bitter.

A Christian who was baptised a little more than a year ago has been severely beaten three times and once almost killed. Once, which is much worse in his estimation, the zamindar beat him with his shoe. Each time when he has reported a new persecution and I have asked him “ Can you endure such persecutions?” the answer has been “ why should I not endure persecution when Christ bore so much for m e?” And on his face shown a heavenly radiance. Finally his enemies hailed him to court on a false charge. In this also be stood firm and met the accusation in court, and we are glad to say was acquitted. This man and his family, direct products o f the mass movement, are a strong influence for Christianity in tbeir community.

A few weeks ago I was called to a circuit, where persecution has been extremely bitter, to baptize a number o f people. I had but two days I could then spend in that circuit, and after baptizing one hun­dred and ninety-six people, I left, with more than three hundred re­quests fo r baptism from people in that territory I could not at that time reach.

In one village, after we had held a brief meeting, the worker sat down on the ground with about thirty applicants for baptism, and men­tioned the different persecutions there had recently been in the near­by villages, and said, “ I f you become Christians you will be perse­cuted too. Do you still want to become Christian? Without hesitation

all declared that th**y were anxious to be Christians, and eagerly re­ceived baptism.

The work o f the year has been badly broken in upon by the pre­paration for the Durbar. Hundreds o f our village Christians and in­quirers have been employed in these preparations, and have been absent from their homes for months, and my being without ¡1 fixed home has added to the difficulty of the work.

Self-Support.In spite o f the total failure of one crop, and the fear for more,

than a month that the latter crop would also be a failure, self-support has slightly increased this y ear; and had there been the full crops there would have been a material increase. The people of several villages have adopted the plan of giving a stated amount o f grain per fam ily from each crop, and have put the plan into operation. This g'rain is collected by the chaudharis, not by the workers.

Sum m er S ch ool and D istrict C on ference.

Owing to the preparations for the Coronation Durbar it was im­possible to rent suitable buildings for this, the first Summer school and D istrict Conference of the Delhi District, so the Summer school was h^ld in Sonepat, a circuit centre thirty miles from Delhi from October 14th to October 27th, and was followed bjr the D istrict Confer­ence on the 28th and 29th. Sevteral missionaries from adjoining dis­tricts assisted in the Summer school, and it was an especially helpful gathering, and was marked by a definite spiritual uplift for many of thbSe present. The thought o f the ingathering in most of the sub- Circuits, and o f the multitudes of inquirers desiring baptism, burdened the hearts o f all with a deep sense of responsibility; and all felt a need o f larger spiritual equipment for the com ing year.

The Woman’s Conference and examinations were conducted by ladies from the Muttra and Meerut Districts.

The Sunday follow ing the D istrict Conference was one to be re­membered fo r the rich blessings received, and the increased realisa­tion that the Lord o f Hosts is to lead another year.

New an d Starting' D evelopm ents.

December 12th was a momentous day for the Delhi district, and for the entire Indian Empire. By Royal Proclamation at the Coro­nation Durbar, Delhi, the capital o f the ancient empire, was made the capital o f the present empire.

Situated as the geographical centre of India, and being in the very heart o f the “ Mass Movement ” o f our Mission, and being now made the political centre of the empire, Delhi is a strategic point o f the first importance to our Mission, and it must be speedily and largely strengthened or there w ill be a future of regret for lost opportunities.

As Delhi, from the political standpoint w ill be the premier city o f India, broad statesmanship demands that the policy o f our Mission be so shaped as to make it the centre of mission influence for our Church.

O ur Needs.

The needs mentioned in the earlier part o f this report are through this, new development, .made even more imperative than before. W e must immediately plan for a Primary Vernacular Boy’s School and a Training School, and must get property fo r these, and

■80 D IST R IC T S U P E R IN T E N D E N T S ’ REPO RTS.

for a Church building' and a Mission House before advanced prices make land unobtainable.

With the increased importance w hich has come to Delhi through the Royal Proclamation, larger burdens and responsibilities have come upon those engaged in the work o f the district, and a larger realisa­tion o f the need o f prayer for the workers and the work.

The O u tlook .

The outlook for the com ing year is good and with the needed increase in our working force, and a sufficient increase in our income to support these and provide the needed property, I believe the pos­sibilities for the coming year are limited only by faith and faith fu l­ness.

KASGAN J DISTRICT.Rev* M ahbub K han, D istrict Su perin ten dent.

Although, like other years, this was one o f great calamities— plague, small pox, malarial fever, etc. which very much troubled the people and also stood in the way o f our work, and to which many of our men fell victims, our work was not wholly interrupted. With patience and forbearance our men stuck to their work in spite o f all troubles and subsequent hinderances.

The district o f Kasganj is situated in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, bounded on the north by "the river Ganges, on the east by the district o f Farrukhabad, on the south by E. I. Railway, and on the west by the civil district o f Aligarh. In length it is about SO, and in breadth, 60 miles. The district is not very great in extent, nor does it contain any large city. Still it has 18 flourishing towns, and some S00 villages, o f the population o f which our village Christ­ians make a part. There are 10 circuits in all—8 in the civil district o f Etah with a Christian population o f 9,000, one Sikandra Rao, in Aligarh, containing 2,078 Christians, and one Kaimganj, in Farrukha- bad, having 457 Christians, thus making a total Christian population o f 11,535.

Census operations were made by the British Government this year. Enumerators were guided very carefully by our men to enter us as members o f the -‘M ethodist Episcopal Church.” The printed certificates that were sent for from tue Methodist Publishing House, Lucknow, were o f much use in conducting the operations. When we compared the number o f our Christians as calculated by the Government, it was found to correspond with that laid down in our Annual Report. In respect o f the census, the. D istrict Magistrate, the Government enu­merators, the supervisors, etc., rendered us valuable help, and it was a special favor o f our British Government to let us take part in the census work to avoid any error.

Our people are converts from the various classes, and they may be. found to fo llow different occupations; still most o f them are tillers o f the soil, while others are given to service. Those who are educated Jiold responsible posts in-Railway, Government and other departments. The people o f the caste, from which a great number o f our Christians has come, are numerous in this district, yet we come in contact with thousands o f them that have’ not been converted, though they seem to ,be earnest inquirers, their relations having already accepted Christ as their. Savior. We, however, regret to note that the number o f our workers is too small to approach them, nay, scarcely able even to-pull

little by the help oC volunteers or impaid w orkers—a Jew of those g’ood men, who have been selected by God for His service, who love Him and feel the necessity ol' salvation o f their kind.

Revival meetings in our district began to be held from February 15th this year and these w<*re held in large places. Christians within a radins of three or four miles were assembled in on? place to offer their prayers, and the preachers rendered mutual help. Through the graeî and favor o f the Lord, most of our Christians got redemption of their sins and new birth. And as the Christians confessed that they had got the new birth, so the non-Christians made out by their man­ners and behaviours that they were really changed. When the non- Christians observed these qualities in our poor village Christians they made a very favorable opinion o f our faith and said, “ It is a true faith.” Besides the Christians, these revival meetings were joined by non-Christians as well in every place. ■ When the Holy Spirit laid open to them their most secret sins thèy repented and 424 o f them got baptized in the name of the Savior. A remarkable thing observed at these meetings was the coming o f sick persons to them and their receiving a great deal o f relief an ! com fort. I t happened once while we were holding revival meetings from village to village and when the sickness was raging furiously that we saw people coming in greater numbers and on our enquiring about the reason the sick persons then present spoke out, “ Sahib, all day long our hearts are grieved by sick­ness, pain and cares, but when we attend the revival meetings and sing hymns and pray to Him all our cares and anxieties are removed, and we get com fort and relief through His promises.”

Among the non-Christians we are doing a nice work. We have three schools for Chamars. These schools impart secular as well as moral education. We have different ways for work among the non-Christians. We engage in personal talks on religion with ¿he n ; the Gospel is preached in the bazars, melas, villages and towns ; religious pamphlets and portions are distributed. In many places the magic lantern was used. Men and women give a deep ear to these things and many families in each caste are found inquirers. For instance, a Hindu Barhai (carpenter) is soon to be baptized. An Ahir fam ily is another example ; in a few places, the Kan jars listen attentively to the Gospel. We have had a close fam iliarity with the Hindus and Mohammedans, and as form erly they looked on us with hatred and bigotry, to the same extent they are now our friends. They are ready at all times to help us in every way within, their reach.

Our Bible readers also have an excellent chance to work among the zenanas. Many are eager to see the Christian women teach their girls.

A number o f melas is held in this district and thousands of people come to join them. The chief Hindu pilgrimages are the banks o f the river Ganges and the towns o f Soron and Kampil, while M'ohammedans hold Kaim ganj and Maiehra as their sacred places and have melas in them. Our men go and preach there.

We have 64 day schools for boys and girls. In these petty village schools 960 scholars come together in various places and receive secular aud moral education. Still there are many places feeling the want o f schools in them, and many boys and girls are eager to learn. But it is the want o f money that debars us from supplying their wants. Many o f the people can now read the Bible, and the credit is due solely to these schools, from w hich most o f our workers have sprung up. Although these village schools cannot make our men very good wrorkers, they do much to make them improve in religious and spiritual things. Those scholars who are desirous to. prosecute their further studies jo in the A. V. School at Kasganj, which teaches Eng­lish up to the middle standard, and has an enrolment of 238 boys. In

this English school hoys o f every caste read side by side with Christ­ians. The Hindu and Mohammedan boys have learned many things o f our religion and are eager to take part in the services at our Sunday school and League meetings. At Kasganj we have a boarding house fo r Christian boys, who, brought up iu it, make a satisfactory progress in the acquirement o f knowledge. This year 12 boys passed their middle class examination. Four o f them are now reading in the m atricula­tion class, one has been recommended for admission to the Theological Seminary, and one is a worker in Bulandshahr. This school has often been visited by Bishop Warne, Rev. R. CJancy and other missionaries, who have always made a favorable opinion o f its efficiency and useful­ness. We have many more promising boys in this district, but fo r the lack of money we cannot admit them as boarders. This school has got a M inisterial Band and every Saturday the students go to villages and mohallas to preach the Word.

The number o f Sunday schools is 120 with 4,409 scholars. These scholars assemble in the various.places to learn the catechism, golden text, Uves.of the Apostles, and about the birth, deeds, death and re­surrection o f Christ. Religious pamphlets and pictures are distribut­ed. We have 36 League meetings containing 1,337 members. Afueh force was given to League work in the Quarterly Conferences this year, and the Secretary o f the D istrict League visited most o f the places and helped the meetings a great deal and for a lew places new League charters were given. Moreover, the Assistant League Secretary joined our D istrict Conference meeting and made many useful suggestions on the work. In addition to secular, moral and spiritual things, our Le i g u e members have made an advancement in the mode and power o f speech.

A fter the Summer school there was held the D istrict Conference. Mo t o f our brethren were sick and one day the D istrict Superinten­dent himself fell in a swoon. At this time Rev. R. Clancy, M iss H ol­man and other missionaries rendered us valuable help w ith prayers and medicines in addition to the aid given by them in the spiritual work. For this we are heartily grateful to them and our D istrict Conference wishes that our beloved missionaries may come am ong us from yoar to year to supply us w ith spiritual provisions and help us not only in the D istrict Conference, but also at our revival meetings.

MEERUT DISTRICT.Rev- T. S. Donoliugli, District Superintendent.

The year now closes presents the follow ing features w orthy o f special m ention :—

Buildings.

The new mission house, completed at the close o f 1910, has been occupied during the year 1911 and has proved thoroughly satisfactory. The need o f houses in Meerut seems now to be supplied adequately, certainly fo r many years to come. The old bungalow has been care­fu lly repaired though at slight expense, and is in excellent condition. W ith some attention to repairs from time to time this bungalow will be preserved from decay and the erection o f another in its place w ill be unnecessary should nothing unforeseen occur.

The new “ Madison Avenue Boys’ school ” was not fully ready for use until July of this year, but the structure was under roo f in time to be dedicated on the occasion o f the memorable visit o f Bishop and

MEERUT DISTRICT. bo

Sirs. McDowell and Bishop Warne in January. The class rooms are now used fo r sehool work but furniture is required for the assembly room, which is to be used temporarily as the Compound Church. This building is remarkably large and substantially built for the amount expended, namely, $5,-500, which sum has been iargely met by contribu­tions o f the members of the Madison Avenue Church of New York City to whom our best thanks are due. This building can be furnish­ed for $500 provided Government grants aid for the school portion. But hitherto Government has steadily refused its aid owing to lack of funds and recently declined to recognize the higher classes owing to the lack o f proper furniture, also refusing the contemplated recurring grant-in-aid for which we have been working for five years, and which seems to be the necessary precedent to the grant towards the build­ings. It thus appears that the need o f furniture is pressing, that brought over from the old school being unworthy o f the name. When the school is equipped there should be no reason why Government should not co-operate with fa ir liberality, and thus assist in the fur­ther growth o f this Arery necessary institution.

The new compound wall, built in March, has made even a greater improvement in the appearance o f the compound than ‘ the new buildings. The wall has been needed greatly for a long time. It completes the series of building operations which has requir­ed so much attention during the past eighteen months, but it is with much rejoicing that we view the new equiqment. From $3,000 to $5,000 is still needed to build a dorm itory system for the older boys, to re­lieve the over-crowded quarters and to allow better supervision of those who, after a large expenditure o f tim e and money, are reaching the most critical age.

The B oy s ’ School.

The school now has an enrolment o f 110, with 95 boarders, the latter being under our care night and day. The responsibility for such a school is very great, including as it does not only the education and much o f the financial provision, but all the care involved in providing a home. Rev. L. B. Jones has special charge of this department, and it is with very great pleasure that we chronicle the addition to our force o f Mrs. Jones, form erly Miss N. O. Randle o f Spokane, Washing­ton, who arrived in Bombay in October where the wedding took place. Among other items o f special interest we would mention the steady improvement in the teaching staff, the increasing number o f day schol­ars attending from the City since the new building has been in use. the excellent results of a thorough medical examination o f all the boys, the high grade work o f the squad o f Volunteers drilled by Mr. Jones, the contemplated organization o f the whole school into a body o f Boy Scouts, the inspection of the school by the collector, J. R. Pear­son, Esq., I. C. S., and Mrs. Pearson, and other members o f the official class, etc.

The support o f the school and its grow th to the present strength has been due very largely to the steady aid year by year o f the Epworth Leagues of the Philadelphia Conference, particularly those o f the Northwest District. Others have joinfed in this work and to them all we extend our most sincere thanks. While the results o f the giving are seen locally the unseen givers in America are a very large factor without whose aid little or nothing could be advanced;

The G irls ’ S ch oo l.

This school now enrols 129, o f whom 120 are boarders. Miss C. C. Kelson is in charge and the entire institution is a deserved model in which the Government officials are highly interested. The chief item

8 4 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS.

o f interest is the opening o f the high school department as the result o f the request o f the joint meeting o f the Boards o f Education o f the North and Northwest India Conferences. The standing of the school is such that immediate recognition was granted though but one class o f the four is begun, and the Chief Inspectress has already paid it a special visit. We predict a large future for this school in the traiu- ing o f young women for Christian service.

T he T ra in in g S ch oo ls .

In this department 14 men and 6 women are now studying. The teaching force has been strengthened materially which, with the super­vision o f Rev. S. K. Swami and Miss Gabrielson, has resulted in marked improvement in the character o f the work being done.j

V illage S ch ools.

Our evangelistic workers are burdened so heavily that it is with difficulty that they can take time for regular teaching. Nevertheless they t r y t o teach those who live near by. About 1,200 boys and girls are thus taught the rudiments and from these we often get the most prom ising students fo r the boarding schools. Some 30 schools are conducted with some regularity, somewhat on the lines o f the form er “ Goucher schools ” which did so much good in the earlier years o f the mission, and in the recent Summer school much enthusiasm was aroused by the proposition to establish a similar system of schools in the Meerut District, touch emphasis has been placed on school work throughout the district during the entire .year. .A strong committee has made a report on the management of village schools and their recommendations are to be followed. Our largest school numbers 50, but the average is about in. With care and attention we hope to secure a much larger number of schools properly conducted and with an average attendance nearer 25.

W o rk e rs ’ S ch ool.

From October 10th to November 1st the large force o f workers with their wives and children were present in Meerut for a period of intellectual and spiritual refreshment. The D istrict Conference and a tw o-oay League Convention were also held. rJ hose present studied a series o f books carefully selected last year and lectures were given on a variety o f subjects o f special importance. Bishop Warne, Rev. John Forman, Rev. G. D. Presgrave and Rev. B. T. Badley, General Secre­tary on the League, were present and conducted services which were greatly used of God, The death of one o f our best workers caused much sorrow , but in general the school period was one o f excellent health and much blessing.

V o lu n te e r W orkers-

In connection with the Summer school and throughout the year much emphasis has been laid u jon the training o f volunteer workers. The number o f these is grow ing rapidly and with some training the amount o f aid which they can render is very great. We believe that these men and women will give much o f their time and even o f their lim ited means when they are given a larger insight into the needs and are fitted to meet them. In almcst «.very village are men and women above the average in intelligence and ability. " A committee oí especial strength is roakiiig a close study o f the question o f develop­ing.-these persons, somewhat on the lines o f class leaders and stewards

and every worker is striving to increase the number o f those who are really helpers indeed.

M ass M ovem ents.The frequent reference to such movements is due to the fact that

the numbers o f Chamars, or leather workers, in the district now ac­cessible, both tanners and shoemakers, are so great that they literally come en masse. The caste is the largest in North India and about one- fifth o f the population of this district is composed o f them. Conse­quently when this great number, about 600,000, leg in to move towards Christianity in a body the calls for tea chert and for baptism come far more rapidly than the force expands. A tour of many villages con­vinces one that our Church can win almost, if not all, o f this number, in some cases com posing nearly one-fourth o f a town. The effect would be tremendous, for other castes are already opening to spiritual influences and the w ork in every direction grow s more rapidly than we can provide men to care for it. The number o f inquirers among Mohammedans is grow ing rapidly and many o f them seem truly in earnest. In certain sections high caste people are accepting baptism, almost always the signal for severe testing which they are enduring nobly. One is impressed that the number o f secret believers is very great, for individuals are found eveiywhere, particularly among those who can read the Bible fo r themselves, that is, the educated and lead­ing classes. The problem is to know what to do with these multitudes. In the early stages they must be taught very thoroughly. When suf­ficient numbers in any one place are fully established in the faith they w ill be able to support their own pastors, but we are st ill in the exten­sive stage and the need o f help is very great. Probably every new worker added on an average salary o f $40 per year will be able to gather around him a community of from 500 to 1,000 in a few years, so rapidly does the number grow where the work has commenced and is properly prosecuted.

The P rob lem .

The problem can be solved only by pressing the training of new workers and the support o f manj more tet chers simultaneously until the extensive movement is com pleted; the enlargement of the schools and the support o f their product must go on together until such-num­bers are gathered and established as to make self-support a possibility. The Christians are still too scatteied and too inconsiderable to have that unity which can be consolidated into a cluirch v\ith its own pas­tor and providing its own support. But we are approaching the time when efforts can be made in this direction. In certain sections a sufficient number will be found and in sufficient solidity to attempt the consolidation. It w ill require self-sacrifice on the part o f the preacher and the people, but we believe that both will respond. The people are giving now, and their contributions support about 25 per cent, o f our workers but they are gathered in small portions and with difficulty, owing to the distances separating one group from the other and the infrequent visits o f pastors burdened with too large a task.

The Special Fund.

H itherto the Special Fund was a possible solution offering' a means o f increased aid by which funds might be sent to the sections offering the greatest present possibilities. But the emphasis placed on the Station Plan and General Fund sadly interfere w ith this one source o f hope. The special opportunity' demands a special provision conso­nant with the need and it is not met by the proportionate increases or

8 6 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS* REPORTS.

decreases under the regular plan. Practically all the progress whicii has been made in this mass movement is the result o f the e ffo r t s o f the missionaries themselves in raising Special Gifts, and the reaping o f the harvest depends upon the continuance and increase o f these g ifts until some other adequate provision is made. At present funds raised upon the appeal o f India are distributed to other fields or used to open new missions without any provision for the tremendous possi­bilities involved in the work already in hand which are being sacri­ficed by. delay and inadequate support. When one sees the immense re­sults from so little and the boundless opportunities, he is both encour­aged and discouraged. We appeal to our patrons to continue their Special Gifts and to help us to secure others. We see no other way.

Som e F ig u res .

During the year, with no emphasis upon extension but rather the reverse, we have had 2,42S baptisms, half o f which are o f children. These baptisms are scattered among the circuits and represent merely the minimum o f normal growth with, the present force. Doubtless5,000 could be baptised in the com ing year i f we could shepherd them. All doors are open save that through which help comes and that seems to be closing even more tightly. There are fu lly 1,000,000 accessible persons in the district, or almost one-third o f the popula­tion . It is probable that in no other part o f India are such opportun­ities offered at . the present moment. The territory is compact, 60 by 120 miles, and the gathering o f such a community would have an effect impossible to overestimate. It would influence the 11,000,000 Ghamars o f North India to a great extent besides all the other castes from which we are now getting converts. Our Christians now num­ber 37,353, though 735 deaths have occurred, among which many were from plague which was at its worst this last cold season. For th is community and all the accessible classes we have a force o f 297 work­ers, male and female, including the six missionaries on the field, o f whom but tw o are men. It should be self-evident that these cannot supervise the finances, records, buildings, schools, services, conferences, Special Gift correspondence, and multitudinous local details and spend the amount o f time on tour in the district which is essential i f the w ork is to be strong. Wre have urgent need o f another missionary who can give his whole time to evangelistic work, aud we cannot have him •unless his salary is specially provided, as the appropriations allow o f no increase whatever in the force. With one more missionary thus engaged, and a second devoting himself to school work, the Superin­tendent would be able to carry the large share falling upon him, and the intensive development which is so necessary could be prosecuted with vigor. The size o f the work will be better understood when it is known that in a recent camping trip some 55 villages were visited, taking in from one to five per day according to distance. Three weeks o f hard work thus permitted one to cover about 5 per cent, o f the district as we have work in over 1,200 villages. Such touring greatly helps the worker, gives the superintendent clearer ideas o f the task, the men and their progress, and is the best incentive to increased self- support. The district should be covered once in the year, and this can be done only with the aid o f a man set apart for it to co-operate w ith Miss Livermore, the evangelistic missionary o f the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society, who has to take tw o years fo r tjje most rapid survey o f the district, though giving all o f her time to it. In the census, the Meerut D istrict stands first in the United Provinces in the number o f Christians, and the Kauldb reports that it js one o f the districts in which the Government and Mission figures most nearl.y coincide..

T he Christian “M elas .”

Christian mcJas are now being- held with great benefit in the Baraut circuit, where the community lias grown from 1,200 to 4,250 in four years and Avhere we hope to see very large increases in the immediate iuture. This year the sixth great mcla was held at Kir- thal. Unexpected rain flooded the roads and prevented hundreds from coming but, as it was, over 600 Christians were present at the big services, and fully as many non-Christians. Had rain not fallen some2,000 would have been present, for they took deep interest and spoke repeatedly o f their gratification in having the mcla held. Bishop Warne and visiting brethren were present, the services were very in­spiring and the results w ill be large. The people came at their own expense and paid the expenses of the mcla, also taking up a liberal collection. This is all full o f promise and seems like the dawn o f a new day in this form o f mission work. W ithout doubt, if the friends at home will stand by and help gather the multitudes we will see many self-supporting Churches in this territory in the future. The move­ment is being watched by many who are deeply interested and the mela plan is bound to be used more and more largely. In the Baraut circuit the people gather readily whenever called and give generously, and we expect to see the movement spread into neighboring circuits in the com ing year.

The absence o f Dr. and Mrs. Buck on furlough (their first full furlough in twenty years) has left a great gap in our ranks. All the development o f the district has been under their supervision in that period. Perhaps in no one place have they been missed so much as in Mussoorie, where they have had charge of the English Church for some years. It was difficult to arrange for the same but the Revs. O. M. Buck, F. M. Perrill, and H. J. Schutzshared the pastorate and fill­ed the gap nobly. The Church has prospered even under the difficul­ties and seems to have an assured future which the return of Dr. and Mrs. Buck will do much to conserve.

The missionaries in Meerut attend and assist in the Wesleyan Church, which edifice was erected by Dr. Buck who opened the work. The pastor, Rev. A. D. Brown, gave much help in Mussoorie and is deeply interested in all the work o f the mission. Our relations are very cordial and tend to show that at heart Methodism is one body in the Lord.

Sunday S ch o o l W ork .The year has shown marked progress in this department, chiefly

due to the help o f the India Sunday School Union. We have been favored by the visits o f Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Annett, specialists in teach­ing methods, Rev. G. D. Presgrave, local Secretary, and Mr. Stanes, Sunday School M issionary, with great benefit and inspiration. Perhaps the largest single result is the new course o f 52 lessons for village schools, designed to cover the most essential parts o f the Gospel in one year and based on the most telling Bible Stories and texts. These have been outlined and printed and much time was given in the Summer school to practice by the workers. Perhaps the best proof o f the value o f the new method was the interest with which village men pre­sent follow ed the recitals, even when the same lesson was repeated several times. The simple normal lessons wefe cordially received by the workers and their work w ill be much more effective as these principles are brought into use among the 20,000 Sunday school scholars in the district and the 3,358 members o f the League."

W ork o f the C ircuits.- The movement among, the Jatiya Chamars, or shoemakers, which

has acquired such dimensions in Ghaziabad, is grow ing satisfactorily and spreading to the neighbouring circuits. Men are much needed that this, perhaps the highest caste yet opened to mass movements, may not be limited by man’s unreadiness to enter doors which God has opened. The Chamar, or tanner work, is proceeding rapidly in Baraut, Muzaffarnagar and the new Shamli circuit, a section o f Muzaffarnagar separated in order to allow o f closer supervision at this critical time. Thus we have tw o distinct movements, each o f great promise, pro­ceeding simultaneously and requiring the utmost care and supervision which can be provided.

C on clusion .We are very grateful to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the

unmeasured blessings which have been vouchsafed to us during the year, for the measure o f health which the missionaries and workers have enjoyed though plague and other diseases were raging, and fo r help and guidance in all the details o f this large and fruitfu l field.

MUTTRA DISTRICT.R ev - R o ck w e ll C lancy, D istrict Superintendent.

Muttra, one of the holiest cities o f the Hindoos, is mentioned by Ptolmey as t e “ Modoura ” o f the gods, and by Arrian Pliney as “ Methora.” It was recorded by the great Chinese traveller Fa Hian about the year 400 A. D. as a centre of the Buddhist faith.

The M uttra Museum contains the famous Parkham image, the Stupa drum o f Dhruv Tila, the inscribed tablet o f homage o f the Holi Gate and many other Buddhist relics.

In 1017 Muttra was attacked and sacked bj' Mahmud o f Ghazni, who destroyed most o f the temples and relics, and in 1500 Sikandar Lodi destroyed all that was left.

Muttra is the heart of the “ Braj-Mandal,” the Hindoos’ Holy Land, where Krishna wras born, lived his life o f pleasure among the common people, herded their cattle, perform ed feats . o f valour, fought their battles, and died the most popular god in the Hindoo pantheon. His popularity is still evidenced by the thousands o f pilgrims who visit his shrines.

Muttra is on the right bank of the Jumna, th irty miles north o f Agra and eighty-n ine south o f Delhi, at the junction o f three great railroads to Bombay, eight hundred miles distant.

B o y s ’ A .-V . S ch ool.In the very heart o f the city stands Flora Hall. The site was

secured from a Mohammedan over the protest o f the Brahm ins; the property cost about Rs. 50,000 ($16,666), the g ift o f W. E. Blackstone, o f Chicago, as a memorial to his daughter Flora, who wished to be a missionary. The great bell which calls to school and worship is in­scribed w ith “ The Spirit and the Bride say Come.” One hundred and twenty Hindoo and Mohammedan and sixty Christian boys study here up to the Anglo-Vernacular Middle Standard. The Bible is a text­book in the school. Rev. A. Lulce, S. Matthews, Indar Mun and J. W . Singh (all In d ians), together w ith seven non-Christians, do the teach­ing. Every Sunday m orning tw o hundred Christian boys and men a n d women inarch through the streets o f M uttra to Flora Hall for w orsh ip ; many non-Christians also attend,

Black stone Missionary Institute.

Midway between the city and Sadar Bazar is the mission com­pound. In this compound are the home o f the district superintendent and his w ife and the Blackstone Missionary Institute, in which Misses Gregg, M cKnight,. Parkhurst and their assistants have a delightful home.

Gracie Hall is the g irls ’ school and Church; back o f it are dorm i­tories for one hundred and fifty Indian girls and young women. One hundred girls study up to the Vernacular M iddle Standard and fifty have a two years’ course in Bible-training for workers. Seven d if­ferent missions have girls in the Training School. Smith Hall is the home of the Ei glish department. Miss Bidley Clancy, a voluntary worker, teaches in this department. Zenana work is done by the mis­sionaries and their assistants and the training students.

Boys’ Bo'arding School and Village Pasters’ Training School.

Across the road from the mission compound are the Boys’ Board­ing school and the Training school for village pastors in charge of Eev. M. S. Budden (Indian ) and Charles Silas (In d ian ). Fifty five boys attend school at Flora Hall. Their dorm itory holds sixty boys. During the past nine years quite a village, with ninety rooms costing about fifteen dollars a room, has sprung up. These are used for the Indian workers and their families during the Summer school, from the middle o f July to the end of August.

Sum m er S ch oo l.

One o f the most important departments o f our work is the Summer School. Every worker is required to be present and they bring with them many of their unpaid village leaders. It is largely a school for Bible studj- and training for village work. Courses of study adapted to all grades o f Indian workers have been arranged. Careful records are kept from year to year of the progress o f each worker and the examinations are rigid. The preachers in charge (Indian) are the teachers, and we secure the very best possible out­

side help. This year we had Bishop Warne, Eev. Ganada }Mal o f the U. P. Mission, Punjab, Eev. G. D. Presgrave (Indian), secretary o f the India Sunday School Union, Eev. J. E. Chitambar of the Eeid Christ­ian College, Lucknow, Eev. Henry Forman of the Am. Presbyterian Mission, Eev. Dr. Huntley of the Scotch presbyterians, Eev. B. T. Badley, secretary o f the Epworth League, Eev. Oscar Buck o f Bareilly Seminary and Eevs. F. C. Aldrich and C. H. Plomer of our district. Mrs. Clancy and Miss Gregg had charge of the classes for women, Miss M cKnight o f the Kindergarten and Mrs. Dr. Ilahi Baksh o f the dis­pensary. The shade trees were~our auditorium, with the temperature from 106 to 108 in the afternoons. Our records show an attendance o f 110 men, 80 women and 129 children, (27 babies). We closed with the district conference.

English Work.

The district superintendent is chaplain for the Non-conform ist British troops. We have had the Eoyal Dragoons, with 160 men. Two Sunday and week night service are attended by soldiers, civilians, missionaries and a students. The capitation grant given by Govern­ment-is used in the work.

The city o f Agra dates from early ag es . The old city Avas on the east side o f the Jumna and the ruins are still traceable, it Avas the capital o f the Lodi or Afghan kings o f Hindustan, and on the overthrow of the last of the line, Ibrahim Sultan, at the battle o f Panipat in 1526 by Babar, the founder o f the .Moghul dynasty, the conqueror moved down on Agra, took it and occupied the palace on the eastern bank of the'Juin.ua, where he died in 1530. His son built the present city.. *• The Moghuls built like titans and finished like jew ellers." ‘ For one hundred years the present city A v a s the seat of the Great Moghul emperors Alt bar, Jeliangir and Shah Jehan and their splendid court. They adorned the city A v it h palaces and tombs o f matchless beauty, but Shah Jehan surpassed them all in that wonder o f the world, that *• dream in marble ” the Taj Mahal, built o f costly Jeypore marble and inlaid with precious stones, the peerless monument o f a tyrant’s love for his beautiful w ife, which, a fter the lapse of tAVo hundred and sixty years, stands unique in its beauty.

In this city we have several hundred Indian Christians. The w o rt is in charge o f Rev. C. H. Plomer and Mrs. Plomer, assisted by Miss Herring and a staif o f Indian workers. The English services are at­tended i y people o f the Telegraph and Railw ay; cottage prayer meetings are held in the homes. Mr. J. W. Desouza, Mrs. Kouwen and others help in this work.

A ligarh C ircuit.

Aligarh is fifty miles distant from Muttra by Bombay and Raroda and East Indian Railways. A direct line has been surveyed between these tw o cities passing through Raya to lgJas. thence to Aligarh.

Aligarh is built on the site of the ancient city o f Koil said to Owe its origin to a Ivashattrya of the Lunar race. It was the stronghold o f a Dor-Rajput chief. The beautiful mosque in the centre o f the city on ah ill, wfis built, on the site o f an old Dor l'ort. Aligarh was one o f the great battle-fields of the Moghuls and Maharatas, o f the .Tats, Afghans and Rohillas. It is strateg ic as it commands the roads to Delhi, Muttra, Agra and Rohilkhund. Lord Lake captured it from the Maharatas in 1803.

Aligarh is now the seat of the Anglo-Mohammedan College founded by Sir Saiyad Ahmed, Khan Bahadur in 1875. T h irty ‘ lacs ($100,000) have been subscribed by rich ^and poor Mohammedans to raise this college to a university. It is the largest Mohammedan college east o f Cairo.

Aligarh is also a very important centre of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Among its 70,000 people live several hundred Christians. We have three large institutions.

We thank God and all who have prayed fo r us and helped ns during the year.

PANJAB DISTRICT.J. C. Butcher, District Superintendent.

The Pan jab is a large province in the North westren part o f India. .The word means “ five rivers,” aud it is so named because five large rivers run from the Himalayas on the north and east, and, gradually

PANJAB DISTRICT, 9 5

converging toward the southwest, empty into the Indus, which takes their waters to the Arabian Sea. Connected with the Pan jab, and until recently a political part o f it, is the Northwest Frontier P ro­vince. These two provinces cover about 142,000 square miles, and con­tain over 27,000,000 inhabitants. These people are the most stalwart people in India, and the British India army is largely recruited from them. We are working in the southern part o f the province among 6,000,000 people, whom no one else is trying to evangelize.

W ork among the English people, on a self-supporting basis under the direction o f the Mussoorie district, was begun something over 20 years ago. Later verns cular work was began in Delhi, Patiala, and Lahore. But it was not until J. B. Thomas was appointed to the Pan­jab District in 1902, that the field began to be seriously worked. The fru it that has been garnered during these ten years past has been enough to constitute a record. During that time there have been set off from the Panjab District, the Rurki District, the Delhi District, and the Mussoorie C ircuit; while over 3,000 baptized converts have been handed over to the care o f other missions. These various por­tions report fo r this year a total Christian community o f over 37,000 while the baptisms reported for 1911 are nearly 6,000.

Let us confine ourselves to our own proper work. We reported for 1910 a total Christian community o f 15,747, distributed among 16 circuits. At the last conference . the Delhi and four other circuits, containing 5,388 Christians, were set off to form the Delhi District, iu charge o f Rev. F. M. Wilson. At the same time, our 351 Christians in Montgomery were handed over to a.new mission in India, that o f the Associate reform ed Church o f U. S. A. This left us with ten circuits and 10,00S Christians, but still with a territory four hundred miles long and tv o hundred miles wide. The ten circuits have been made twelve by dividing the two large circuits, the Eatala and the Raewind form ing two new ones, the Kalwan and the Kana Kacha. During the year 1,742 have been added by baptism to our Christian community, which now numbers 11,438. With an adequate staff o f Indian w ork­ers we could easily add to our community 10,000 a year. But with our present staff can hardly increase any more rapidly than we are doing. We cannot bring into the Christian community people who wish to come, w ithout some attempt to teach them our doctrines and conform them to our religious observances. Three years ago tw o youngr men o f the most meagre attainments left our work and started to organize a Church o f their own. This year one o f them died, and the other tells me that at the Government census last March over15,000 were enrolled as belonging to their community. Probably this leader o f tlieirs is the only man am ong them who can read at all, and he cannot read fluently. Most o f us would hardly feel like expanding in that way, but it shows what might be done.

Our staff o f workers during the year has consisted o f one m is­sionary, 7 Indian members o f conference, 5 ordained and 12 unordain­ed local preachers, 25 exliorters and 24 pastor-teaehers, a total o f 74 male workers. Besides these the m issionary’s w ife and 60 Indian women have been employed ; 5S o f the Indian women have been sup­ported by the W. F. M. S. Of the Indian male workers, every one gets at least a part o f his support from the special g ifts o f our friends in America. We are glad to report that these special gifts have kept up during the year so that we have been able to slightly increase our staff o f workers and considerably increase the number of men and women in our training school.

The correspondence with supporters at home constitutes quite a considerable part o f the d istrict superintendent’s work. It is-pleas- ant and.profitable work, but it is sometimes deferred owing to ¿lie demands o f the work on the field. I must acknowledge that my home

workers have been most kind and considerate, and very few com ­plaints have been made because o f my delay in writing. The system o f our special fund now seems to be pretty well understood. Our workers cost us from $30 to $200 a year, we need for their support an average of $40 a year. This forty dollars does not pay all tj^eir ex­penses, but the Board of Foreign Missions makes a grant foy rents, itinerating, etc. besides this we get quite a good deal from o\ir peo­ple. The contributions o f our people during the past year wp^e en­ough to pay one-fourth o f the salaries o f all the pastors, te a ch e s and evahgplists in the entire district. It thus appears that fo r every con­tribution o f thirty or more dollars a year we can keep in the field a woriier o f some sort, that would not otherwise be in the work. We will follow our usual custom o f describing the work by circuits.

A m bala is our farthest centre to the east, and is 187 miles from Lahore. We h ive now five men in this circuit. There have been 25 baptisms during the year, but the records have been pruned, so tjiat only 462 Christians are reported. So many of our people are servants of British Officers, and consequently transient residents, that it is somewhat difficult to keep the records up to time. But the Gospel is being preached and souls are being saved, and the saved ones ' carrying the seed o f the word to other places, so we feel that Chri?t is being glorified, even though the numoer o f Christians in residence is reported as sixty less tban last year. The large m ilitary canton­ment and the railway junction make Ambala an important station for our work.

B átala was divided at the last conference, the eastern part being1 cut off to form the Kalwan circuit. This took away 611 Christiana, and by an adjustment o f territory Jn another part o f the circuit an­other 100 were handed over tó the care o f the Salvation Army. Dur­ing the year there have been 321 baptisms, and the number o f Christ­ians said to be now in residence is 2,505. Batala is 57 miles northeast o f Lahore, and still continues to be a very fru itfu l field.

B h atin d a is 113 miles south o f Lahore, andtis an important rail-, way junction. We have five workers in this circuit.

There have been 35 baptisms during the year, and the number o f Christians now reported'is 165. One difficulty,about working Bhatinda is that it is rather an expensive place to live in, so our lower grade o f workers object to going there. Then again the country is not so densely populated as most o f our field is. Still we are expecting rich fruits there, and it is certainly the most destitute region, spiritually, o f all the Panjab. Our workers sold over 8,000 Bibles and portions during the year.

F e ro zp u r is beyond the Sutlej, 58 miles from ^.Lahore on the way to Rhatinda. This year we have had seven workers there. The num­ber o f baptisms has been 80, and the Christians now in residence are 562. W ork is carried on in 28 muhalias and villages, and there are quite a number o f enthusiastic volunteer workers. Ferozpur is an important m ilitary station and contains the largest arsenal in India.

K alw an is the n**w circuit cut off from the Batala. It promises to y ield 'as rich-fruit as the portion o f the Batala circuit that has been more thoroughly worked. This entire circuit is supported by the Brotherhood Class o f a Church in Kansas, and doubtless the progress o f the w ork w ill afford them great satisfaction. A t the beginning1 o f the year there were only tw o workers, but this number has been ’ gradually increased until there are now eight o f them. The 611 Christians transferred from the Batala circuit have been increased by 315 baptisms and the fam ilies of the new workers, until 1,023 are now reported. Only tw o circuits, the Batala and the Kaha Kacha reported m ore baptisms. As it was necessary for the preacher in charge to live in a village, we could not rent for him a suitable house, so were

P A N JA B DISTRICT. 97> iobliged to buy a piece o f land and build laim a house; this enterprise is costing- us about $300, and we would be very glad to have som eone take this up as a memorial o f his love to God and interest in the bringing o f this land to the feet o f our Lord.

Kan a Kacha is 15 miles south of Lahore. During the year the old Raewind circuit was divided almost equally, the form er P. C. re­maining at Kana Kacha. Just 400 baptisms are reported and a Christ­ian community of 3,058. The new circuit is about twenty miles long by ten broad, and work is being carried on by seven men in 66 vil­lages. One interesting feature o f the work that has developed in this circuit during the last few years is the recognition o f leaders and help­ers from among the people themselves. This has proved to be a great stimulus to voluntary w ork as well as to the collections fo r self-sup* port. Thirty-three o f these leaders were approved by the last Quarter­ly Conference.

L a h ore is the centre o f the district, as well as the capital o f . the Panjab. This is a fine city o f over tw o hundred thousand inhabitants, the seat o f a university with five colleges in the city and a large num­ber throughout the province affiliated to it, besides large Medical, Law and Veterinary Colleges in Lahore itself. Our Lahore circuit is almost confined to the city, the civil station and the cantonments. Our most important pastoral and evangelistic work is among the ser­vants o f the European residents. During the year there were 93 bap­tisms, and we now report 816 Christians. Most important o f all our work is that o f the Boarding and Training Schools. We have about thirty boys, who are being prepared for a broader life work, than that o f their ancestors. They are all making good progress, and some o f them promise to get well up. Education is the road for social ad­vancement in India, more so than perhaps in any land. We also have 18 young men and women injour training school, and these likewise are making good progress. Not^all o f them will become mission workers. We bring them in for a few months’ training. When they have learn­ed to read their Roman-Urdu Bibles, we send them back to their vil­lages, unless they give promise o f making good workers in which case we urge them to stay on. Those that go back to their villages have cost us about $10 each, and fo r that sum we put a light into a village, the result o f which cannot be estimated. We expect next year to begin work on the Girls’ Boarding school, as we understand that the Woman’s Foreign M issionary Society has appropriated $5,000 for - the commencement o f that enterprise.

L a h ore N orth has had a good year. There have been seven men at w ork in this circuit. The land in this territory is unfortunate. It is situated between two rivei’s, so is liable to be deluged in the rainy season, still it has no irrigation facilities, so the crops are liable to perish from d rou gh t; and the latter happened this year. Fortunately the complete destruction o f crops only occurred in this one neighbour­hood, so the people were able to go temporarily to other districts and earn enough to live on. This has interfered somewhat with our work this year, still they report 3 33 baptisms and a Christian -con^munity o f 443. The openings for w ork in this circuit are very proinising* and as Government is planning an irrigation canal to go thTOjj^ri it, we may expect better physical conditions in the future. Th-i^-circuit is another one, where we have trouble in renting a suitable .house for the P. C. F or $300 we could provide a suitable outfit; in lands and buildings, and no doubt the Lord w ill instruct somebody to send us that much fo r this purpose. H

ians, o f whom 41 were baptized this year. We have a nice property and an interesting w ork in Multan, which is a place o f growing im- portan e ; as well as of historic note.

Patiala is 186 miles to the east of Lahore, 33 southwest o f Am- bala. Patiala is the capital o f the large native state o f the same name. The city contains about 53,000 and the state over 1,600,000 people. It was to save this and the neighbouring Sikh states o f Jind and Nabha from Ranjit Singh the conqueror and tyrant o f the Pan jab that the British India Government first came into conflict with the great 8ikh power, which ultimately led to this grand provice being incorporated with British India. Our native work in Patiala is about our oldest in the Pan jab. It has not been our most fruitful field how­ever, and during the last year we only had 25 baptisms and our pre­sent Christian community contains only 5S7 persons. However Amba- la, Sangrur and Bhatinda were all formerly a part of the Patiala c ir ­cuit. We have only had four men at work in this field during the last year, perhaps with a larger force greater results would have been shown. At auy rate we cannot adandon a field because o f small nu: merical increases. It may be that God will quickly displajr His power in bringing many to Himself even in this hard soil. In the meantime pray for us, that we may be lead to present Jesus Christ in an accept­able manner.

R aew ind is 25 miles southwest of Lahore and is a railway junc­tion whence the lines branch off to Bhatinda and Multan. There is only a small village at Raewind, but the circuit has yielded our richest fruit during the last five years. Six years ago in this large field we had two men at work with,about 400 Christians, and these were a part of the Lahore circu't. This year the Ranvind circuit was divided, and this part reports for the year 162 baptisms and 1,846 Christians, While if the Kana Kaclia part should be added, the report would be 562 baptisms and 3,904 Christians. We have eight men employed in this circuit, while the characters ot' 30 leaders were passed by the Quarterly Conference as voluntary workers. Our people are living in 33 villages, While inquirers are being instructed in eight others. Over 2,000 Bibles ttnd portions were sold by our workers.

Sangrur is 183 miles south-east of Lahore and 70 east o f Bhatin- dik Sangrur is the capital o f the native state of Jind (often spelt “ $ i in d ” ) . Five men have been employed most of the year, two in Jind.iSte.te, two in Patiala State, and one in Hissar, a district o f British India. In the latter part of the year the work opened up wonderfully in the western part of the circuit around Barnala, where we have tried to keep a man for several years, but without much fruit. Brother Yuhanna Singh, our first real Panjabi graduate from

Bareilly Seminary, has taken such a vigorous hold of the work, that we lire giving him some assistants, and it w ill probably not be long before Barnala is made into a separate circuit. It is 29 miles frotil Sarigrur, so far enough away to make another centre. During th eater 112 have been baptized, and the number of Christians in the circuit liad' gone up to 243. We have Christians living in 18 villages, while iiWjulfrers are being instructed in 14 others.

I want &frain to acknowledge the great help we have received from the National Bible Society of Scotland. With their help and that o f the B. & F. S. our men have disposed o f 20,500 Bibles and Bible por­tions. I also Wish to acknowledge again the great help that we have received from our American contingent. They have supplied us with money and they have interceded fo r us at the throne o f heavenly grace. The powers o f the evil one are very great in this land. We liS!&e been able ttt € o so much as; we have done because of the plead­ings o f God’s favored ones in America. The past year is with God. the record is small tenough, the world about us still lieth in ;darkness

and those that bear the light are feu- and feeble. As for tin' future we will do what we can, we will spend whatever money the Lord sends as as may seem t.o the best advantage, we will p r a y t o be kept from evil and from mistakes, and- wi will trust in (Joi for His guidance and His keeping and strengthening' power.

Rajputaiia District.Rev. W illiam \V. Ashe, D istrict Superin tendent.

The year has brought forth nothing unusual or startling in the way o f success, but we are able to report a steady growth and ad­vancement.

The little.band o f Foreign and Native laborers, toiling in the wilderness o f Rajputana. have wrought well, and the “ Lord o f Har­vest ” has rewarded its labors. At the beginning of the year we faced a

Serious Crisis.

More than a score o f our young men who hud finished the Bible- training course in our school at A j me re, were ready to be sent out as preachers and teachers. They could not long stand Idle. The Treas­ury was depleted, and it seemed as if some o f the workers alreaijy Jn the service would have to be dismissed. 11' you have never had to dismiss a good worker without: fault, you cannot know our feelings at that time. There were dozens of places needing \Vorkers but, so far as human discernment could penetrate, there was no way of sup­plying them. After much prayer and many sleepless nights we de­cided to do the inevitable, and ask the preachers in charge whom they could best spare from their ranks. So at the first quarterly conference held after annual conference, we put the matter before the brethren, and asked them how many men they could jrive up. The preacher in charge said he could not spare a single man without doing great injury to the work, and he proposed that each worker should give one month’s salary over and above his usual contribution, the money to be applied on the support o f the workers who would otherwise have to be dismissed. The other members consented to this, and it went upon record. This action was made known to the other circuits, and they all fell into line, thus saying the situation. Not only have all the old workers been retained but twentyifive have been added' to the list o f paid workers. This, too, in the face o f impehding famine. When the time came for the usual monsoon rains, the heavens became “ as brass,” the scorching “ loo ” extracted what little remaining moisture there was in the parched fields, and the earth refused to yeild even a blade of grass for the starving cattle. These conditions prevailed until the 24th of August, when a good rain brought some relief, but it was too late to save the crops. Hundreds o f our people were compelled to leave their homes and go in search o f food and work. Up to this time they have not returned. Many will never return.

The State o f th e C hurch.

The strenuous days through which our people have passed have caused them to lean more closely upon God. In some instances the unserving faith o f some o f our poor village Christians has eclipsed that o f the centurion o f old.

100 D ISTRIC T SI PE1ÍI X T E X 1)EXT>s‘ REPORTS,

. There luis been some much needed pruning done, and this i6 alvyays a painful task. Two o f our local preachers were dismissed ¿^'.Unchristian conduct on recommendation of the district conference. Thfe offences were not serious but the brethren said *• we must have a pure Ministry,” so out they went. A few years ago the action o f the conference would have been otherwise, which is proof that the spirit­ual life o f our workers and people is on a higher plain.

During the Government census enumeration in M arch our people were severely persecuted in many places by Hindus and Mohammedans in order to make them deny Christ, and have their names written in their form er caste. This was a political as well as a religious move­ment, and great pressure was brought to bear upon our people, and a fete, .of them turned Judas. On the other hand, our faith has been greatly strengthened by the .loyalty and devotion o f the great m ajority o f our Native Christians. One dear old brother said to the census officer “ I am a Christian, and you must write my name as such or I -will report you to the . ing-Emperor.” His name was written where it belonged.

W ork am on g th e Bhils.An important development among the Bhils in the Southwestern

part o f the district has taken place. Brother Kan Bahadur and his co-laborers have been sowing the “ Good seed ” among this tribe of aborigines fo r séveral years, and now the harvest is ready. The Bhils hold the same relation to this part o f Eajputana as the Pariahs, among whom such wonderful result in the propagation o f the Gospel have been achieved, hold to South India. At a recent meeting o f the Madras Provincial Conference a Brahman speaker openly confessed th at “ to undertake the elevation o f the depressed classes has become necéssary as a point o f tactics.” “ Sentimental considerations ” said

.. one speaker, “ come in only as secondary to the vital issue in the case.” “ Hinduism must no longer bear the reproach o f trampling down the lower classes, nor, particularly, must it be allowed to lose members through conversion to Christianity.”

These people at any rate, though very degraded in their natural state, have a wonderful capacity for responding to efforts to elevate them. They are backward, but intelligent and ambitious, and offer a splendid field for missionary effort. They are ready to accept Christianity because it offers them more than any other religion. Here is arare opportunity for the M ethodist Episcopal Mission. Ten well-trained workers are badly needed for this part o f the field. W ith this number o f efficient workers on the ground, five thousand o f these interesting people could be brought into the Church within tw o years.

Schools.In order to economise in the teaching staff, the boys’ school at

Phalera was amalgamated with the school at Ajmere. Both schools have done good work.

The Girls’ Boarding school at Ajmere has had a most successful year, passing a hundred per cent, o f all students sent up fo r the Government examination.

The Orphanage and Primary school at Phalera have maintained their good record, and the health o f the girls has been better than

. ever before.ii; M edical W ork .

' iJ ; The Sanitarium for consuptive girls at Talonia is becoming more popular every year. The wards have been fu ll all the time, and a number o f patients have had to be accommodated in thatched huts.

RAJPUTAXA DISTRICT. 101A dispensary has been opened at Makrana in Jodhpore state

where there are extensive Marble works and quarries. I t is in charge o f a competent Native doctor who is a devoted Christian worker. This givfes us a splendid opportunity to give the Gospel to the hun­dreds o f men and women who come here from distant parts to w ork in the quarries.

C hristian B o y s ’ H om e.

Through the generosity o f a friend in America we have been able to build a much-needed hostel for our Christian boys who are learn­ing trades in the various factories in Ajmere. It is in charge of an experienced Native preacher who looks after the spiritual welfare o f the boys.

A jm ere Station and Circuit.Rev. A. L. Grey, Missionary in charge reports as fo llow s: —When I arrived in Ajmere last February and looked oper the field

I was expected to care for, I was greatly impressed with the size o f my task, and this impression has grown as I have become better acquaint­ed with the work o f this circuit. The work o f this circuit consists o f three kinds, namely, the English Church, the Boys’ school, and a large portion o f city and village work, any one o f which is ample, if properly looked after, fo r one man. But this is India and no matter how small one’s faith may be he is obliged to, “ Undertake great things for God.” At the close o f this conference year., while thanking God for the many blessings bestowed.and victories given, I regret my inability to do more fo r the establishment o f His kingdom in this part o f this great Empire.

That part o f the work which has taken the most o f my time and strength is the Boys’ school. Owing to an insufficient number o f masters I have had to teach a part o f the time. Even now w hen, we have a fu ll staff o f teachers I have all o f the theological work o f the Training Class to do so far as the teaching is concerned. For this situation I am glad as I get a double blessing out of it, namely, that which comes from spending more time with God’s Word, and being obliged to teach the boys in Hindustani I get practice in the use of the language. I have ten boys in the Training Class now nine of whom are in the Middle standard. The course in theology is o f necessity brief consisting o f three books, namely, Masihi Ta’ limat k& Khulasa, ’ Ilm i Ilahi i Baibal, and Makhzan i ’Ilm i llahi. I have 115 boys on the roll at this time nearly all o f whom are boarders. I have just secured a good Head master, a man o f good Christian character and o f a clean record and long experience in school work. The qualification o f the teaching staff, w ith tw o exceptions, ranges from the Middle school certificate to B. A. fail. I f faithful to their duties, our present staff should bring the bchool up to the desired standard o f efficiency.

The w ork o f the English Church is about as usual. Our number is small but the work is interesting, and I believe our Church is an evangelizing force in this city. We have a good Sunday school, the average attendance being forty. I f our Church could be located in a more central place I believe we would be able to do much more for the European population o f this station than at present. Many o f us are praying that a better location may be secured in the near future. During the year there have been tw o accessions.

Up to this time I am unable to speak from experience regarding the wprk o f this circuit outside o f Ajmere as I have been unable to go to but one outpast, but the brethren bring in encouraging reports from

1 0 2 D IST R IC T SU P E R IN T E N D E N T S^ REPO RTS.

time to time. In the city there are several Sunday schools, and my training' class boys go out for preaching three times a week. The Hindustani Sunday school and the League are doing their usual w ork among the students o i tlie two schools, there are but few. others in attendance. I wish more o f the membership would attend these means of grace. The regular Church service and thé prayer meeting also are not attended by the members as regularly as they should be. While thanking God for the w ork done during the year we face the future with the prayer, 0 Lord help us that we may do more and better w ork.”

P h alera C ircuit.

Rev. Mott Keislar, Missionary in charge reports as follow s ;—The work on the circuit has, in the main, been carried on w ell.

There has been no demonstration, no. special revival, but the power o f the Gospel is manifested. In my itinerating I have met such crowds as I have never before seen in ordinary village work. The opportunity is wonderful.

God has wonderfully blessed the missionaries and the w orker s with good health, for which we thank Him.

ROORKEE DISTRICT.R ev. *T. L y on , D istrict Su perin ten dent.

Eoorkee D istrict is situated between the two great rivers, the Jumna and the Ganges. The Ganges flows on the East and the Juinna on the West and the great Himalaya mountains are on the North. It comprises tw o civil districts—Dehra Dun ancl Saharanpur, and ,also large parts o f Muzaffarnagar D istrict on the East and West and has a population according to Government census o f 2£ millions 800,000 o f whom belong to what is termed the depressed classes who are most accessible and from this class we have had 2,632 baptisms this year.

P lague.

This year we have been greatly hindered by Bubonic plague and tw o o f our workers have died and numbers o f the Christian converts also and many others have been w idely scattered. Nevertheless in the midst' o f all we have been constanly cheered by tokens o f the Divine presence and blessing. With plague on the one hand and an empty exchequer on the other, which means no money to pay our workers, we fe lt a little dismayed, but we lifted our eyes to the hills whence cometh pur aid and at the same time appealed to “ Our holders up and helpers at home,” our patrons, and with joy we record the fact that they soon rallied to our help. For purposes o f administration we have divided the district into 16 circuits with an ordained minister in charge o f each and w ith an average o f over 1,000 Chi’istians in each.

This consists o f 16 Ordained Ministers, 30 Local Preachers, '35 Exhorters, 43 Bible Readers and Evangelist Teachers and 12 Paatorr Teachers, m aking a total o f 126 workers.

Revival Services.

During the year we have had blessed Revival Services on every circuit, through which thousands have been gathered in from heathen­ism and thousands o f others stirred up to a better life. In November all our workers came into headquarters for twenty days o f Sum­mer school, District Conference work and Revival Services. God pour­ed out his Spirit and g'ave us times o f great refreshing from His pres­ence. We all felt it good to get together fo r prayer and conference and that it paid us well.

Our Boys’ Boarding School.

Is a great blessiag and continues to prosper. We have now 21 on our roll and half a dozen young men learning trades in the Government Engineering College situated near our Mission. The College affords very fine opportunities for young men to learn a trade or study for a good profession and we hope to see our Christian young men from all parts o f India avail themselves of its privileges and opportunities.

Our Bible Training Schoo l.

This we have been obliged to close for a short time. The students in the school went into the great harvest fields to sow and reap and we have not been able to call others in fo r want o f funds to provide for them bread and water. We have just now a dozen knocking at our doors for admission. Three hundred and fifty dollers will educate, feed and clothe these 13 families in our Training school for one year. Who will help.

Roorkee Leper Asylum

Continues to prosper under the Divine blessing and many o f the inmates can now read the Bible for themselves in their own language and in spite o f their loathsome disease they are happy in the Lord Jesus. At present we have 60 in the Asylum and a great and good work is being done in their midst. With few exceptions they are all Christians.

Our English Work.

The interest keeps up and we are cheered now and again by some one stepping out for Jesus. The English speaking community being small, the work is greatly limited, nevertheless it is well worth keep­ing up and this we are doing to the best o f our ability, but would urge the necessity o f a second Missionary for the Boarding school and English Church work.

Results of the Year’s Work.

During the year we have held 839 Revival Services and have added to the fold by public baptism, 3,632 and have now a Christian commun­ity o f 16,394 with 16 circuits and yet this seems to us only to be like a drop in the bucket in comparison w ith what we ought to have done. The millions are still untouched. O fo r the reapers ! Such is the cry from all sides and God is surely sending and will send.

Brethren pray for us.
