In her report of the Nurses' Training School Miss Cook writes: "It is a joy to see the growth in their characters as well as in their ability to minister to the sick, and our desire and prayer is that during their training here they may be fitted in every way to serve in this needy land, and by their lives and work as well as by their message, to make known their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ."

. Indian ~edical and nursing staff, were able to keep the hospital open through the year. .

Miss Yang is a Bridgman graduate and an alumna of Gi.n1ing College. Our Missionaries are glad to work under her leadership and the school has prospered: Miss Muriel Wood left in July to be married and Miss Amy R. Holway returned in September. A spiritual awakening visited Bridgman toward the close of the year when Christian teachers and pupils gave themselves to earnest prayer and effort, and many girls confessed their faith in Christ for the first time.

TH~ WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE­Wark Opened 1924.

THE MARGARET WILLIAMSON HOSPITAL-WO'Y'k Opened 1884. A Union institution carried on by four cooperating Woman's

Medical College~Dr. Frances W. King (on furlough).

Hospital-Miss Elizabeth M. Pollock (in India until November).

Address-Margaret Williamson Hospital, Shanghai, China. The student body of the Medical College is Christian, thus

insuring the spirit and unity of purpose essential to the realization

[:J21

of our aims as a mission- institution. The medical students take an active part ~n Christian services and definite Christian work both within and without college walls. The Department of Public Health, established as a distinct department of the work in 1927, has grown in strength and, usefulness to the community. The last report of the School of Nursing gave 52 as the number of regular students with six special students. Of the fifty-two, 41 were Christians when entering, and of the other 11, ten have become Christians during the year. The only remaining non-Christian is interested.

With her Bible Women she spent 1,125 periods in the Margaret Williamson Hospital, teaching in wards, private rooms and clinic waiting room, and made 365 visits in homes. She made nine cOWltry trips of one day each. Mr. Chen conducted 48 Sunday services in Doremus Hall and carried on evangelistic work during each week, preaching to and teaching both groups and individuals. With the cessation of war and the evacuation of soldiers in the Shanghai district, Miss Elizabeth Irvine was able to carryon the Bible School without a day's inter­ruption, for the first time in four years. The enrollment was larger and the spirit of the students and work done by them brought encouragement. The Day School in Doremus Hall was full to its capacity.

Doremus School still carries on in a temporary school-house but teachers, alumnae and friends are pu.tting forth every effort to raise money for additional land and a suitable building that the school may have opportunity for greater development. In spring, government recognition was granted the school. "This has made new friends for the school and in no way interfered with the Christian work." Miss Loomis writes in her report: "Special efforts have been made to carry on evangelistic work and we are glad to report sixteen baptisms. Large groups of girls are meeting after school in inquirers' classes. The Prayer Room is well filled befqre school every Friday morning."

In the Bible Training School the enrollment at the close of the year was 45, the largest number of students in the history of the Bible School. The course has been extended to four years and prior to graduation the members of the senior class go out for a few months of practical work under supervision. During 1928 the first class to go out in this way went to various places for work, and the results were most encouraging. The village work has prospered and new stations have been opened. Miss Pratt re­ports 47 Sunday Schools conducted or taught by our workers. There have been 21 baptisms during the year.

THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH

OF THE

Woman '5 [Inton Missionary Soctety

of America Was Organized in Philadelphia, May 20, 1861

THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH was incorporated by the Court of Common Pleas of the City of Philadelphia, March 10, 1869. It was empowered to take and hold real and personal estate to the yearly value of five thousand dollars.

FORM OF BEQUEST

I give and bequeath to the "''Philadelphia Branch" of the WOMAN'S

UNION MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF A:MERICA, the sum of

to be applied to the Missionary purposes of said Society.

SIXTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

PHILADELPHIA BRANCH OF THE

Woman"s Union Missionary Society

"A bright New Year and a sunny track Along an upward way,

And a song of praise on looking back When the year has passed away,

And golden sheaves, nor small, nor few­This was my New Year's wish for you!"

Shall we, as we look back for just a few moments over the year that has passed, recall some of those "songs of praise" that have been in our hearts these last months?

First of all for China.

The doors are wide open there today. Many workers are returning to their fields, and others are pushing into the interior to open up new places. Chinese Christians are voicing their belief that the help of missionaries will be needed for a long time to come in one part of China or another, for practically every type of work. "There is a call today for a large offering of the finest young men and women to come in as fellow-workers of Chinese Christians in the common service of Christ in that land." Our work in, Shanghai is doing well. Miss Yang has entered on her second year as Principal of the Brid'gman School, and more students have registered this year than eve,.. before. Miss Pollock, who was a great blessing to so many during her stay in Fatehpur, has returned to her work in the Margaret Williamson Hospital.

REPORT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH. 3

Miss Irvine writes hopefully of her field. She says: "While there are many incidents to be deplored, yet there are signs of a new day for the reconstruction. The neighborhood has been most friendly, and the workers have remained loyal, for which we thank God, as that has not been the case in some places." Pray that these opening doors in China may be fully entered.

A song of praise for Fatehpur! With two representatives from that field now in the home­

land to tell us in person of their work, we leaye most of that report in their hands. Miss Durrant writes of her gratitude for the assistance of Miss McCunn during Miss Colson's furlough, and both thank God for their willing and efficient helpers.

From the Lily Lytle Broadwell Hospital our missionaries send word that, ex-cept for a few minor illnesses, they have all been kept in good health. Four new nurses have come to take training, two from our Cawnpore School. The new Matron, Mrs. Lyall, who was formerly a Bible woman, is fitting into many corners of the work, and proving herself a real help in every way. Many more maternity cases are coming to us, and the Dispensary has been very full. From outside villages come pleas to open new dispensaries, and there are wonderful opportunities ahead if we could but seize them. Miss Rogers passed her first language examination, covering a full year's work in four and a half months, and is now able to do more active work. There have been difficulties to surmount, and problems to solve, as always, and situations calling for much prayer and patience, but God is a never-failing help. On account of lack of rain this last season, the crops failed, and the price of grain and rice almost doubled, thus increasing our running expenses, as extra food will have to be supplied and free medicines given to the needy. One man came in from a village asking that his little baby be taken and cared for for a year, as the price of food was so high. And he is only the forerunner of many others.

4 REPORT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRANCH.

A Song of Praise for Allahabad!

A 'generous gift made possible the new school bus. so sorely needed. The old bus was finished-unsafe for use-so our mis­sionaries claimed the promise, "My God shall supply all your need," and threw themselves on His Word. Three weeks later the cable came that the necessary funds had been supplied. What a beautiful answer that was! Miss Roderick writes of her work in the Zenanas. Lately she has tried teaching her pupils a little water color painting in order to give them some recreation in their seclusion, and some idea of making their homes attrac­tive. She asked them never to hang their paintings beside their gods, and soon after in one of the homes all the pictures of the gods had suddenly disappeared.. Later, she saw them hidden behind a tall bureau. In many homes they have really been expelled, either cast out or given away. So love to Christ makes Him supreme in our lives.

A Song of Praise for Jhansi!

Dr. Ernst has resumed work after almost two years' absence, but with renewed health and strength. She writes: "It took some time to feel at home again, particularly as I missed many familiar faces-but it was a joy to get into full work.

"I see encouraging progress in the medical and evangelistic work, more patients having been admitted than in any previous year. All our Christian staff share in giving the Gospel mes­sage to the non-Christians whom they meet, and much use is made of the printed page. Recently a Mohammedan woman came desiring to be a Christian, and is now receiving special teaching before being baptized. Others are great1y interested, but are held back by opposition from their families.

"Now that we have a new Overland-Whippet car, made pos­sible by-our friends in America through direct answer to prayer, we plan during the cooler months to visit many of the out-

lying villages to give them the Gospel message, and to heal many of the sick. Often motherless children and orphans ar.e giYf'n to us and these we care for until they are ready to enter our school at Cawnpore, where they are educated and trained. ~lore extensive building is now being undertaken to improve our hospital by installing electricity, available for the first time, and by the addition of some small rooms. These will be a great help and we are most thankful it has been made possible."

A sentence from an inspiring message in a South African paper applies equally to our own work. "Many needs confront us as we look forward to this new year of opportunity. 'Yhile workers, white and native, are needed, together with more funds, yet the greatest need of all is More Prayer, for this includes all other needs as the greater includes the lesser." It was when the first missionaries prayed that they were filled with the Holy Ghost, witnessed with great power, gave with great liberality; for prayer releases the power of God, with whom all things are possible.

"Remembering the continual supplying of all our needs in answer to prayer through these many years, shall we not take fresh courage and say with David, 'I will hope continually and will yet praise Th~e more and more.' "

We cannot close without adding a "song of praise" for our dear Treasurer, Mrs. Water all, who has for so many years given her love and devotion to our society. Though she feels she must withdraw from the more active service, yet her love and prayers will go with us always, and what she has done for our Philadelphia Branch can never be forgotten. We are glad to say that Mrs. William Wills has consented to serve in her place. M. G. CALDER,

Corresponding Secretary.
