W hereas during a „number o f years past' ou r Conference Sessions in Muttra have-to a marked degree been rendered the more pleasant^a.nd en joyable Hby the presence o f ^nd most con ­genial fellowship with Mr. and Mrs. T. Lewis Ingrain:, and their excellent children, specially in their delightful home and in the

v gatherings rhelil in their beautiful grounds, and whereas we learn that their absence at the present time from India is the result o f a want o f the degree o f physical health and v igor on the part o f our g ood brother Mr. Ingram that would render it a wise course in the judgment o f his physicians for him to return now to this country, therefore.

Resolved .‘—that we hereby express our very high appreciation of the Christian character and life and spiritual service as our fellow workers in the G ospel o f Mr. and Mrs Ingram and their children, that we deeply sympathize with them in their inability to return tp India for the reason noted and that we pray and hope that very very soon there may be a complete restoration to health and v igor and that under all conditions their may abide with them the fulness o f the blessing o f tbe G o sp e l; that we enterbain the hope that at an early date we may have the pleasure of again weplcoming these good friends to the place they have long held among us and that they may be able fo r a long term of years to do much for G od and H is cause in Christian service.

Reports of Committees.

The State of the Church.The state o f the Church in the N orth-W est India Conference may

.be briefly indicated without reference to detailed statistics.It has been a year o f special spiritual good to the1missionaries,

bringing a deeper realization o f the fact that the value o f our w ork 'is determined by our own relation to God, N orth-W est India stands fo r all the doctrines o f methodism. Holiness is an aim and we record to the g lory o f God that His blessing is upon the teaching o f the car­dinal doctrine o f our Church in India.

The Indian workers are proving themselves worthy o f the trust put in them. In doctrine and spirit they are pukka Methodist.

Our people are responding to the ideals we are teaching them They are capable o f receiving the deep t h i D g s of God The funda­mental doctrine o f repentence for sin and salvation by faith are un­derstood and received.

Keports from all the Districts show that the special evangelistic campaign early in the year was a season o f gracious revival with abiding results. Ma)ny o f the boy s and girls in our schools have befcn brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus.

In the grace o f g iv ing we have not yet recovered the ground lost in the famine year, but we are gaining. In some communities the ad ­vance made has been very remarkable, and on one D istrict every preacher and Bible-woman and most of the other workers are regular tithers in accordance with ^ 7o o f the Discipline

In marriage .and burial customs the leaven of 2/5 is prevailing.In short there is no ground for discouragment anywhere and there

is hot a discouraged worker on the field.W . E. T.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

Report of Board of Orphanages.The orphanges at Phalera report a steady decrease in numbers,

no orphans were admitted during the recent famine. The orphanages at A ligarh show a decrease in the number o f orphans, there being no real decrease in the actual numbers in the institutions as the constant admission o f boarders and of the children o f poor parents and from other sources practically fill the places o f the orphans who go out.

The health o f the boys and girls in these institutions during this year has been good, there have been very few deaths. The decrease in numbers has been almost entirely due to marriages and to some o f the orphans going out to take up work in other places.

Industrial work baa been successfully carried on in three o f these institutions, and in the A ligarh B oys’ Orphanage and Phalera G irls ’ Orphanage the sales have steadily increased with the corresponding increase in profits.

Report of Committee on Self>Support.Self-Support means such [gifts and activities by the indigenous

Church and its members as will carry on all forms o f Christian work, necessary to the K ingdom of Christ without any aid from foreign sources.

]. P o v e rty : “ Except to those who have been at close quarters with the problem, it is difficult for one to realize the exceeding poverty of the ordinary village Christian, There are hundreds of them to-day. W ho, if they are unable to obtain a daily hire of from two to four annas will with their families, have to forego the evening meal. F or many it is a steady fight against starvation for nearly twelve months in every year. The problem o f self-support under such circumstances becomes well nigh insoluble.”

Another difficulty is our “ parxoarish ” system. Our people have received there support fo r so long from foreign sources that it is difficult fo r them to g ive it up and trust to the people for their sup­port,

2 , W hat is being done —Very few workers in the N orth-W est India Conference are ac­

tually on self-support. In several of the mission centers the Church supports its own Pastor. In the districts outside the stations about twelve men are supported by the people whom they serve. But in addition to this a large amount of money is given by the Christian people o f this conference. This money, largely cut from the salaries of the workers goes into the District Fund and is disbursed by the District Superintendent. In the Lahore District about one tenth o f the total amount spent is collected on the field.

During July all the workers on the Raewind and Batala Circuits decided^to receive that month’ s salary from the fasli chanda collected, after the sale o f the wheat harvest. The results were the Raewind Circuit collected the full circuit b i ll—mardana and zanana from the people, a sum of Rs. mo. The Batala circuit realized the

. amount Of the mardana bill, viz., Rs. 88. Besides this the R ae­wind Circuit gave Rs. 31-3-0 in cash into the D istrict E’unds, and the Batala Circuit gave in all in cask Rs 24-4-0 toward the expenses o f the District Evangelist while on that circuit in March only Rs. 9-8-3 when the Bishop was there,

Each district reports progress in spite o f famine, and other d iscouraging conditions.

In the Lahore District in two districts a special experiment has been tried.

In the K asganj D istrict the D istrict Superintendent has largely increased self-support by collecting grain etc., from the people. W hile in the Cawnpore District the people have made great advance because they are learning to tithe. These are special instances but each dis­trict is working out the problem in its own way.

In persuance of the order o f the conference each member reports the amount given on his circuit for self-support. From this report»

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 61

we find that about Rs. 3,061 has been given during the year by our Christian people, this is aside from that given by M ission work­ers. W e have 96,253 members in the North-W est India Conference so that their g iv ing gives us an average o f about six pies per mem­ber. Surely there is vast room fo r improvement.

3- What can be doneReports from other missions show that much can be done. W e

lèarn that in the Am erican Jaffna Mission 2,025 Christian contribute Rs. 15,269 o r an average o f Rs. 7-8-0 per member- Rev.. J. M. Baker, Ongole writes; “ we have here the quarterly Bystem of payments. The amount paid each quarter on the average to the preachers is about Rs. 5*0*0, to the dible women Rs. 5-0-0 and to the teachers Rs.4-4-0, ‘ ‘ These workers get the remainder o f tbeir support from the peoplei Rev. G. V . Brock, K anigiri, says 1 have follow ed the plan o f having the people call the worker, and pled gas something toward his support.”

“ In M adira no mission aid is ever given towards school, houses and chapels. The burden o f carrying for the worker and the bu ild ­ings is on thè people and not on the missionary. If the worker is lazy, the people will not keep him long. The worker stays and gets a good living« The lazy man is soon starved out and moves on to a mission which pays monthly salaries.

In our own conference we find that many District Superintendents report that they have certain “ given grou ps” that could support & preacher. It can be done in the North-W est India Conference.

4. Y our Committee believes that a definite system should be worked out fo r this conference. W e would call the attention o f the conference to the scheme worked out by Rev. L inzell o f Bar oda. In addition to this we would recommend that if nothing else can be done that we try the “ grant-in-aid” method, that is, g iv iog the worker part o f his pay from the mission, the ¿rest to be obtained from the people. ut above all else the committee hopes that great effort w ill be made to put more workers on absolute self-support-

Report of the Muttra Training School for the year 1909.

The total enrolment for the year has been the one hundred and five, the largest in the history of the school. O f this number, eight have been in the English Department, seventeen in tbe Department for village women, and eighty in the Vernacular Training School. Four studenbs have received diplomas from the English Department, one o f whom is working in our mission in the North-west India Conference, one in the Bombay Conference, and one in the Central i rovinces Conference, thus showing the extent o f bhe influence o f the school.

From the Vernacular Department seven have completed the enbire course o f study and received diplomas, and three others have com- plebed the entire Bible Readers’ Course o f study, and received certi­ficates fo r the same.

F or the most part a g ood report is heard regarding the work o f these g irls after leaving tbe school.

There has never been any complaint regarding the instruction in the school, as the staff of teachers is first class.

For the com ing year it is the plan to develop the practical work of the students more systematically.

Resolutions of the Jubbulpore Conference on Federation.Whereas there exist in this country several Churches and Societies

under a variety o f names, and organised on different principles, yet agreed in loyalty to Christ and substantially holding a common faith, and earnestly devoted to the work o f extending His K ingdom , and

W hereas they are at present, to the great detriment o f the com ­mon cause, united by no visible bond, and

W hereas in the providence o f God the time seems opportune for them to manifest more fully their essential oneness, have closer com ­munion with each other, and by jo in t action prom ote the interests o f the Kingdom of our Lord, we, the delegated representatives o f the follow ing Churches and Societies, viz.,

The Presbyterian Church in India,The South India United Church.The Methodist E piscopal Church,The Friends’ M ission,The Christian M ission,The Am erican Marathi M ission,The Christian and M issionary Alliance,

being assembled in joint committee, and believing that a closer union and fuller fellowship o f the evangelical branches of Christ’ s Church is capable o f such a measure o f realisation as will promote their efficiency in doing their work in this land, and strengthen their testimony to the life and power o f tte divine Redeemer before the world ;

Resolve prayerfully and earnestly to consider how a comprehen­sive scheme of union may be devised that will permit the evangelical denominations in India to express and represent, and thereby increase, the measure o f spiritual unity that already exists among the loyal disciples o f the Lord Jesus.

Inasmuch as (1) Uhe General Assembly o f the Presbyterian Church in India has expressed itself as “ recognising the advantage that would accrue to the cause o f Christ in India by a realisation o f His prayer that they all be one, and gladly welcoming any advances that may be brought before it and

(2) the Central Conference o f the Methodist Episcopal Church has appointed “ a Committee to confer with committees of other bodies to consider the whole subject, with instructions to seek an early practical federation o f the Christian forces in India, and the greatest possible means o f jo in t and common action in schools, literature, and other matters of common interest” ; and

(3) the General Assembly o f the South India United Church has likewise appointed a committee on union which is “ authorised tp

enter-into conference with, committees appointed by such other bodies as may be found willing to enter into conference with a view to draw­ing up some scheme by which all bodies which may accept it may, without sacrificing their autonomy, band themselves together for mutual helpfulness” ; and

(4) the American Marathi Mission has expressed “ its earnest desire for the closest fellowship and even union between Christian bodies ” and directed “ its standing committee on union to try to send one of its members to such a conference as is proposed and

(5) representatives of (a) the Friends’ M ission, ( 6) the Christian Missionary Society, and (c) the Christian and Missionary A lliance have been duly appointed by their respective Churches and Societies; and

(6) the South India Provincial Synod o f the W esleyan Methodist Church has passed a îesolution in favour o f “ seeking closer co ­operation through federa,tioD,

W e hereby resolve to recommend to the several bodies we represent the formation of a federation and to present the follow ing plan for their consideration

1. The name of the organisation formed by the Churches and Societies joining in federal union shall be “ The federation of Christian Churches in In d ia .”

2. A ll Churches and Societies that believe in G od through Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord and Saviour, and that accept the W ord o f God as contained in the Scriptures o f the Old and New Testament as the supreme rule o f faith and practice and whose teach­ing in regard to God, sin, and salvation is in general agreement with the great body of Christian truth and fundamental doctrine o f the Christian faith, shall be eligible for fellowship in the federation,

3. The federation shall not interfere with the existing creed o f any Church or Society entering into its fellowship, or with its internal order or external relations. But in accepting the principle that the Church of G od is one, and that believers are the body o f Christ and severally members thereof, the federating Churches agree to recognise t,he validity of each other’ s ordinances, ministry, membership and discipline, without thereby committing themselves to approval o f particular methods or practices.

4. The object of this federation shall be to attain a more perfect manifestation of the unity of His disciples fo r which the Redeemer prayed, by fostering and encouraging the sentiment and practice of union, by organising union effort wherever and whenever possible, by making the welfare of all the Churches in the federation an object o f vital interest and concern to all, by strengthening throughout the entire brotherhood the sense of a common life and heritage ; and in general to seek through all such effort to hasten the establishment o f the Kingdom of G od in India.

5- For the realisation of this object there shall be­ta) T h e form ation o f a Provincial Federal Council in each

province or g re a t language area, consisting o f re­presentatives from Indian Churches in their corp o ­rate capacity, or, in cases where there is no ecclesias­tical organisation distipct from the missionary organisation, from missions ; the number of delegates to be chosen in the proportion of one ministerial and one lay representative for every ten organised con- gregtions, or fraction thereof.

This Council shall hold annual meetings, or such stated meetings as it may determine, and it shall also be convened to deal with urgent matters o f general concern at the oall o f three federated Churiches.

(6) fche form ation ò f a N ational Federal Council consisting o f représentatives, chosen by each of the P rovincial Councils in proportion o f one in four o f its member­ship or fraction thereof, to be com posed in equal numbers of ministerial and lay representatives, it being understood that each federating body is entited to at least one representative. Meetings shall be held once in three years or as often as the Council itself shall determine, or when called for by not less than three Federal Councils to deal with urgent mat­ters.

These Councils, whether P rovin cia l or National, shall have only consultative and advisory powers except when additional powers may be delegated to them by the bodies they represent.

By means o f reports from the Provincial Councils the N ational Council shall keep in touch with the life and work o f the Churches, and by means of sub-committees it shall have power in the intervals ò f meetings to prosecute the work o f the federation and further its interests, i f need be the National Council shall voice the opinions o f thè Christian community it represents.

6. It shall be the work o f the federation alike in the Provincial and National Councils to carry on work on the follow ing lines in so fàr às it fa lls within thè scope o f the Indian Church, and is in harmony with what is already being done by existing organisations

(a) to suggest and encourage efforts to com bine the m oral and spiritual forces o f Christianity in the development o f worthy character in Christ’ s follow ers by means o f jo in t observance o f sacred ordinances and interchange o f pulpits, and thereby to intensify the consciousness o f life and strength in the Christian Church ;

ib) to seek for and to make opportunities fo r Christian fe l­lowship in meetings for devotion and conference between different bodies o f Christians in India, that thus) by the cultivation o f mutual acquaintance and respect and a fuller understanding o f each other’s p rob ­lems and difficulties, and by the manifestation o f an ever deepening interest in the welfare o f all sections o f the Christian Ohurch, the way may be prepared fo r a still wider and more effective application o f the prin­ciples o f Christian unity ;

(C) to guide and stimulate the Churches by collecting and diffusing inform ation concerning the progress o f the K ingdom o f the Lord within their bounds as well as throughout the world, and by gathering the results o f experience with a view to affording advice or counsel on matters o f general interest ;

id) to suggest and encourage plans fo r coinbined effort to evangélise the masses and win India fo r Christ, and more especially to consider the m ost efficient and econom ical means o f evangelising the districts withih their areas ;

(e) to seek to prom ote co-operation as far as practicable in literary and educational work, especially in the training o f teachers and preachers, to seek to secure harmonious action in reference to all public matters affecting the m oral and social welfare o f the com ­munity, Christian and non-Christian, and to make representations and suggestions to M issions where deemed advisable

District Superintendents’ Reports.Rajputana District.

Rev. WilUam W. Ashe, District Superintendent.

In order to make this report more comprehensive and help you to understand the situation in Rajputana. I preface it with a brief description o f the field occupied.

This district includes the whole Province o f Rajputana, a group o f twenty Native states and the small British D ivision o f Ajmer, the

-combined areas o f which aggregate i30,oo0 square miles o f territory. The latest census, taken in 1901 shows a population o f 10,125,000. The great mass o f the people are Hindus who number 8,<>00,000. There are 757,000 Mohomedans and 25,OUO Christians The remainder belong to aboriginal or no^-Hindu tribes, such as the Minas, Bhils and M ain . The Rajputs ai*e the ruling tribe, but they nowhere form a m ajority o f the population. W hile there has been considerable political ferment among the educated classes o f British India, the rulers and people o f Rajputana have^been loyal to the British Crown. W ith the exception o f a few high-caste leaders the people are friendly toward the missionaries, and gladly listen to their preaching. The entire province is subject to periodical famines at intervals o f about seven year consequently the great mass o f the people, who are farmers, are very poor. This largely accounts for the slow progress made in building up a self-supporting Church However, in this we are not far behind some o f the more highly favored districts. T o reach the extreme outposts o f the district the Superintendent has to make a round-trip journey of seven hundred miles. During the year be has travelled by bullock cart, bicycle, camel-back, horse-back and railway, distances aggregating ten thousand miles, at a total cost o f less than one hundred dollars, Fortunately much o f the itinerating can be done by railway. W e are greatly indebted to the Agent o f the Rajputana Malwa Railw ay who has kindly given us free transporta­tion on over five hundred miles o f this road.

Ne w W o r k ,

In October the Muttra-Nagda Railway which passes through the entire length o f South-Eastern Rajputana, was opened fo r traffic. This opens up and brings to our door a large section o f fertile, un­evangelized country, hitherto unoccupied by any Christian Mission. The situation demanded immediate action, so two well trained men were sent to pre empt the land f o r the Master. This will form another large circuit with headquarters at Siwaimadhopur, a large town at the junction of the Jaipur State Railw ay and the above named road.

Progress .

Twenty-three years ago brother James L yon with two or thrpe Native brethren began to sow the “ g ood seed ” among the sand dunes o f “ Rajasthan.” Some seed “ fell upon good ground and yielded fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.” Now

there is a community o f ten thousand, two hundred loyal Methodists liv in g within the bounds o f this district. Over two thousand have been transferred to another d strict, and as many were lost during: the dreadful famine o f 1900 and 19GI. From the beginning there has been a steady growth, notwithstanding the many vicissitudes through, which the Church has passed during the last decade.

„■ This y ear has maintained the good record o f the past, and we are able to report progress in all. departments- There have been nine hundred and one bai tisms, being b d increase o f 380 over last year. There is- a small increase in ministerial support and benevolent col* lections, but not: enough to be very encouraging. However, when the extreme poverty o f our membership is considered, it is more than encouraging.

Mis s io n a r ie s ,

T o shepherd the ten thousand souls who ba ve already been brought into the fold, and to offer the “ Bread o f life ” to the millions without, there are eight Foreign M issionaries, two men and six women, sixty-one Native preachers and teachers and fifty Bible- womeo. This makes a total o f 120 Christian workers who devote their whole time to the L o rd ’s service latere are 103 others who are able to give only a part o f their time to Christian work, neverthe­less, tixere services are invaluable to the communities in which they live.

R e v iv a l s .

Revival meetings have been held at a ll the important points on tbe district with good results throughout, especially am ong the workers. At our camp meeting which was held in November, the power o f the Spirit was wonderfully manifest. Many o f the brethren were greatly revived, and there was muoh seeking after the deeper spiritual life.

In s t it u t io n s .

A t Phalera, tLe headquarters of the district, are situated our two largest institutions, the B oy s ’ and G irls ’ Orphanages, In them the children, rescued from the great famine are being trained. Misses. HoJfman and Forsyth are in charge o f tbe G irls ’ Orphanage. They have had a prosperous year, especially in the Industrial! Department where they turn out some o f as fine lace and needle work as can be found in India. Not least o f their good works is the training o f intelligent wives for our y< ung men. The Phalera girls are much sought after in this capacity. During the year it was the writer’s privilege to unite in holy wedlock seven bright intelligent girls to as many young men from the Punjab District at one time 1

The B oys ’ Orphanage has bad a good year. Ten boys have been sent to A jmer to continue their studies in the “ Middle’ ’ School. Five have entered the Bible-training school, and fifteen have; jo ined the. railway service.

Boarding Schools : The B oys ’ and G irls ’ Boarding Schools at Ajmer have both done splendid work this year, o f which brother J. Benson' Baker, M issionary in charge o f A jm er Circuit reports as follow s

- “ There has been nothing unusual in the work o f the Ajmer C ircuit: this year.. There has not been the spirit o f revival that we had hoped for. There has been decided growth in many ways but we have not Ken; tbe outpouring o f the spirit that we feel to be. so necessary i f we:

RAJPUTANA DISTRICT. 60

are to have any great advance. The Boys’ School has had the best year it has had. W e sent up three boys for the Middle Examination and they all passed. A remarkable record for this year as there has been a universal com plaint that the examination was very hard. Two of-the boys who passed will enter the Theological School .at Bareilly and the other will continue his studies in the Presbyterian M ission H igh School. Five boy s from the Bible-training School have been married and sent out into the work. Eleven more boys from the Middle S chool have volunteered fo r Christian service, and as soon as they have finished their ordinary school work will enter the Bible-training School. This is a most encouraging part o f our work and we believe we are laying the foundation for a great future for our work in Raj* putana There have been some very interesting inquirers from the Sadhu class. One from Saradhna has already received baptism, and promises to be o f great service to us.

Since September o f this year the plague has been very bad in Ajmer and surrounding villages. It has greatly interfered with our work, and we were compelled to send all our boys away for awhile. A s th e co o l weather comes on it w ill probably be worse. But on the whole the health o f our boys and g irls has been very good indeed.

Miss Nelson and Miss Bolman have labored hard in the G irls ' School and as a result are turning out some fine girls. They bave fam ished wives fo r all o f our boys who have been married Many o f the teachers in their school are from among their own girls

The English w ork suffers from lack o f attention and yet we now have about fifty enrolled in our Sunday School with an attendance o f about forty. There is a great need for work among the English* speaking people o f Ajmer and it is too bad that we cannot do. more in it.

W e are indeed grateful to G od fo r all His blessings and iconstant watch care. W e are look ing forward to a year o f larger usefulness in His service.”

S a n i t a r i u m .

The Sanitarium for consumptive girls, situated at Talonia, is conducted by the W om an ’ s Foreign M issionary Society for the seg­regation and treatment o f girls afflicted with this dreadful malady. Mrs. W esley , a lady doctor and wife o f the Pastor, look s after this work, which is under the direct supervision o f Mrs. Ashe.

The most modern methods o f treatment and sanitation are fo llow ­ed with very gratifying results. There are now eighteen girle receiving treatment here, and sixteen have been returned to their homes cured during the year.

Me d ic a l W ork .

The Medical work at Phalera has been greatly hindred by lack o f skilled assistants. It has been im possible to secure a lady physician to superintend this department, and until this is done ne cannot hope to accom plish much in this line.

Ev a n g e l is t ic .

c The district is divided up into ten large circuits and' each o f these is divided into five sub-circuits, making a total o f fifty sub- circuits. Each o f these sub-divisions is in charge o i a L oca l Preacher or an Exhorter. The Preacher»in-charge has the supervision o f a ll the sub-d ivisions in his circuit. Each o f the ten circuits has an avearge Christian community ;of one thousand and twenty, and each

70 DISTRICT • SUPERINTENDENTS’’ REPORTS.

sub-circuit has two hundred and four, Of course some circuits have more and Fome less but the average is given fo r convenience in estimating results. Thus the man in-charge of a sub-circuit is re­sponsible for the religious training of two hundred and four «ouls- This year there have been an average of eighteen baptisms for each worker, except the preachers-in-charge. Had we had the teachers to instruct the inquirers who have come to us this number could have been doubled.

Our workers visit and carry on work in three hundred and eighty-, two towns and villages and four large cities. A ll classes are reached, but the depressed ones are the most susceptible, and it is among these that we have our best results. At two places in the state o f Bikanir there are signs o f a considerable “ mass m ovem ent” among the weavers. If we had means to 'place four or five good men in these, localities the number o f converts would be limited only by their ability to teach- One o f the greatest needs in the evangelistic work is a lady evangelist who can give her whole time to visiting the various circuits and directing the Bible-women in their work. We contique to pray for this and for a lady physician fo r Rajputana. _

During the last three months the Bubonic plague invaded many of the villages and towns where our workers live, and caused much dis­tress'am ong our people. Over one hundred have died and)numbers have fled from their homes. Often those who wished to remain in their homes were driven out by the State Officials, as this is the only sure way o f stampping out the epidemic. Thu9 far none o f our workers' have been attacked, so we can realize the true import o f G od ’ s promise in the ninety-first Psalm, Hth Ver. This and the M alarial fever wjpich, has been very bad this season, have been responsible for 259 deaths in our Christian community, and greatly hindred our work,

RAJPUTANA DISTRICT. ' T 71?

St a t e ©f th e Ch u rc h .

Ignorance and superstition are our worst enemies and the greatest hinderance to social and religious progress. Only about one per cent o f our village Christians are able to read the Bible, so all religious instruction must be imparted orally . T o overcom e the traditions o f centuries is no easy task, but little by little our converts are breaking away from them and emerging into the light o f the Gospel.

Urgent Ne e d s !

Besides the lady doctor and evangelist above mentioned we great­ly .need a man for the Phalera Orphanage. A young, unmarried man would do, bat a married man and his wife would be better. It is absolutely im possible for one man to manage this large institution and superintend the district. W e are sure the Lord has both the workers and the money to support them, but He requires some human agency to find and place them.

I n Co n c lu sio n .

W e praise G od for his unlimited mercies and lov in g care over us throughout the year and fo r the great measure o f progress extended to us. There has been less sickness in the Orphanages and B oarding schools than in any previous year ©f their history. 'Our Foreign M issionaries have all been spared and kept in good health, fo r which we lift our hearts in gratitude to Him. , . -

Allahabad District.G. W Guthrie, District Superintendent.

This D istrict includes the Government District of A llahabad, Mirzapur, Benares and Banda, besides tbe Native states o f R evaahd Panha ; the population approximates six m illion people. A large number o f our converts come from the depressed classes, though other classes are accessible as well- So far, we have had but few baptisms' frOm among the Chamiirs, but in tbe vicinity o f Karwi we have a work among this class that has been very encouraging, and we hava every reason to believe that ere long a break will be made that w ill eventually yield us a large number o f baptisms from this caste, the ifietbbers o f which in other Districts have taken such a prominent part in our Christian community.

In all the circuits three Quarterly Meetings have been held, and in most circuits four. Other than this we have been able to spend but little time out in the district, owing to the demands made upon our time by the English Church in A llahabad; we have, however, been in most of $he villages in which we have work, and we hope to spend the greater part o f the month of December itinerating. In every circuit, we have laid special stress on having every man, woman and chfid taught to sing and pray. The condition o f the village and mohullah people in this respect is not altogether satisfactory. In their old religions many o f them h jive never prayed, and it is not an easy matter to teach them to form the habit of daily prayer. Therefore., everywhere, and all tbe time this is made a speciality. W e have also made a special effort to secure something towards the support o f the Pastor from every Christian family. In this we have hot fu lly succeed­ed, in fact ottr efforts have been far from bringing the desired restilts, but we propose to persevere, and have for our motto. “ Every Christ­ian a ¿.raying and a paying Christian.”

Frequently we hear the complaint made that the Christians mingle to o freely with their former friends and relatives, and are thus led into idolatry : this is true to a limited extent. It is a fact to be lamented that idolatrous customs, especially concerning the m arriage OsT children, still prevail in some instances among the converts, T|ie difficulty in breaking up this custom arises from a feeling in the pUft o f the parents that a married daughter is pr tected, while an unmarried daughter is in constant danger, yet in this regard progress" is beingm ade. So far we have discovered none o f our Christians who have returned to ido l worship.

The District Conference held the first week in November was a season o f refreshing from the Lord. Drs. W yncoop and Lucas gave valuable assistance. Fortunately at the same time our special R evival Services were being held in the English Church, and many o f the Hin­dustani brethren were greatly blessed by the<e means.

W e feel h igh ly favored in being permitted to fo llow such a man as Brother Clancy. We found the financial condition o f the District in splendid sh a p e ,a td all other interests had been well conserved. W e are also especially grateful to be associated with such a fine body o f Hindustani workers : it would be hard to find anywhere a more consecrated band o f preachers, and their help and prayers and sym­pathy have been a blessed inspiration during the year. -

B o y s ’ Or p h a n a g e s ,

The Boys' Orphanage at Allahabad is doing its usual good work, Praying1 , ands o f ready workers visit villages near the city under the d irection ,of the Pastor, for Sunday School and Evangelistic work, As yet we have only undertaken industrial work o q a small scale. W e have, however, made arrangements to enlarge this branch o f th$ work by the introduction of loom s for weaving cloth.

Our Anglo Vernacular Middle School is doing much good work for l>pth Christians and non-Christians; the location o f the school Ifi not such as to draw very largely from the latter class, although we are tpld the attendance is larger now than it has been for some time. Qyr ambition is not to build up a large school where the greater part of the pupils are Bindu and Mohammedan, but to give our Christian I^ds an opportunity to receive a well-rounded Christian education, j^nd &U our efforts are with this purpose in view.

E n g l is h Ch u r c h .The Allahabad English Church has had a good year in all depart­

ments. The attendance at the prayer meeting and regular prfeaching services has considerably increased during the year, and the Sunday School has done ¿o o d work. During the year some o f pur members have been transferred to other stations, and thus lost to .ua, but their places have more than been taken by other families who have, in their turn, been transferred to Allahabad. During the early sum m ery flourishing Epworth League was organized that has greatly helped in our efforts to reach the young people. The special services conducted by Rev, Dr, Morrison were greatly blessed in the conversion o f sinners and the deepening o f the spiritual life o f the Church. W e hope in the very near future to secure a preacher for the English work who can devote all o f his time to it. It is manifestly im possible fo r one man to properly handle a large District like this,, and at the same time be the Pastor o f a large English Church.

In B p ite o f the heavy burdens that have devolved upon u b , w ehave felt that this has been tbe very best year o f the four we have spent in In d ia The Lord has blessed us with a large measure o f good health;, and while all has not been accomplished that we had destred, either in the District or the English Church, yet we have been sure all the while that G od was leading, and we have been content to “ let Him have His w ay.”

- I t has been a year o f definite advance in nearly every department o f the work o f the-Cawnpore District. The English Church marked the beginnings o f M fthodism in Cawnpore, and a review o f t h a t important w ork is fitting at the beginning o f every annual report.

I. Th e En g lish Ch u rc h .' The Rev. W - E. Tomlinson, Pastor, makes report as follow s :

The Cawnpore English Church has 114 members and probationers, a flourishing Sunday School o f 122 scholars and teachers, and an Epworth League with 3i members. Fifteen persons have been received, into full membership during the year. In March a series o f special services resulted in abiding blessing, especially among' the teachers and pupils o f the G irls ’ High School from among whom a class o f young ladies was received into fu ll membership. The work done through the Church for the more than 125 European children who are entrusted to the care o f Methodism in this school, is no small part o f the fulfillment o f its mission.

The financial record for the year reflects, as usual, the fluctuating conditions with which we have to deal. The sum total o f money raised establishes a record fo r recent years, Hut it covers a decrease in some departments as well as an encouraging advance in others- Es. 5,022 have been raised by the Church including the Sunday Sch ool and the Epworth League, and Rs 1,050 fo r a new organ secured from Am erica by one o f our members. The monthly subscriptions from the congre­gation have increased ; but the Sunday collections have decreased. (Perhaps the grow ing popularity o f the one anna bit is partly to blame fo r th is .) The M ilitary grant also has continued to decrease, there being fewer W esleyans in the regiment now stationed in Cawnpore. it is because o f this decrease in the income from Government and from Sunday collections, that the Church has paid less on the Pastor’ s salary than in the year before.

The Benevolences have reached what is at least the high-water mark fo r late years—a total o f Rs. 444, and to this may be added Rs. 105 expended in loca l benevolent work. There is also an “ Improvement Fund ” with Rs 310 in hand and subscriptions payable fo r more than this amount. This fund was opened with a view to making extensive improvements in the Church property, and the money for it comes from persons who are not o f pur congregation, but more or less interested in the work o f the Church.

Any one fam iliar with English work knows what peculiar conditions make permanent building difficult. Yet G od ’ s blessing is upon the M ission o f Methodism to the European population in India, and each year records something o f eternal value accomplished, We, are thankful that it is so in Cawnpore.

" II. T h e Ca w n p o r e Sch ools .

1. Girls1 High School — W e have much cause fo r gratitude. Miss P oo l, who is just c losing her sixth year, reports as fo llo w s :

This has been the most successful year in the'history o f the insti­tution. The attendance has increased considerably. During the year the enrolment has been 168 an increase o f 5 while the average daily attendance has increased from 89 to 10 1 . This is due to the excellent health this year in contrast with the fever year o f 1908. Present enrolment is 125 o f whom 71 are boarders.

The class work has been more thorough and examination results more encouraging. This is truly something to be grateful for.

The religious life of the girls has never been better. Many have bright experiences and some very definite Christian work and develop­ment is manifesting itself in the lives o f the girls. Truly we praise His Name fo r His abundant blessings.; The sch ool has been able to maintain itself financially. The receipts have been about Rs. 2 1 ,000. Grant-in-aid Rs, 3,470.: tiuH is be the praise fo r ail successes and triumphs.

la April Miss Lawson arrived from Am erica to share with Miss P ool, the responsibility, with a view to taking over the Principalship next year when Miss Pool goes on furlough. The school has ow&d much this year to the fact that two lady missionaries have been .in residence. It must not drop from this standard.

2. Anglo-Vernacular Boys1 Middle School.—W e are holding very creditably the splendid record o f the last several years. Last May there were four Christian boys in the graduating class. They are all volunteers for M ission service and expect to go on with their Hjgh School course. But, fo r a year, I have sent them as preachers and teachers into the district where they are developing as strong workers, The present year’ s class is equally promising. There nre 160 boys enrolled and the staff has been strengthened, The loyalty of the “ Old Boys ” is noteworthy. The Boarding Hostel fo r our Christian boys is a center o f spiritual life There are 71 boys in the Hostel. W e are over-crowded and need a larger equipment.

3. Anglo-Fernacular Girls' Middle School —Miss Greene reports as follow s r

The girls of the school were physically far below par and though few of them were famine girls, most of them had the weaknesses of famine children. Special effort has been made, giving cod-liver o il, special medicines and exercises, with the result that many of those who had weak lungs are now quite free from that trouble and the little ones particularly are very much stronger. There has been very little sickness in the sch ool throughout the year, no girl has died and there has been no serious illness among them. The school education­ally is in a better condition than ever before. The classes have been carefully examined and graded and special attention has been paid to the primary department. W e have a class of eight girls to send up for the Middle Examination this year and good fifth and fourth class girls as feeders for the next year’ s Middle. The girls who can read Koman have all been given Bibles and hence there has been real pro­gress in knowledge of the Bible truths. It is a delight to see the little girls turn quickly to passages (in our meetings) and to see that they have a desire to know G od ’ s W ord .

Miss Greene has been successful in securing an appropriation fop new dormitories which will add greatly to the health conditions o f the school.

III . T h e C a w n p o r e W o r k s h o p s .

It has been a hard year. In my last report I went at length, infcp the whole subject o f Industrial Training for our boys. If space permit­ted 1 should like to re-write every word o f it. There is no department o í our work that so requires foresight and w iseadaptation o f means as does the laying of foundations of character. Our boys must know thrift and the necessity fo r a manly independence. Our people are poor. It is a helpless poverty fo r which they are not responsible. They must become producers ; they must learn to do things that are worth the doing, to know the value o f time and the dignity o f labor. The worthy self-support of the Indian Church depends on these things, The workshops are a present opportunity for our boys to learn that they are able to enter into new responsibilities. But the shops must be efficiently directed. Inefficient or half hearted management will defeat the very purpose fo r which this institution now stands. Previous to this year I have given much o f my time to planning the work o f the shops and supervising the boys during work hours. The results have proved that my time was well invested. But duriDg the past year the demands o f the district have been so insistent that I have not dared to t\jrn from direct evangelistic work. A s a result the shops have run

behind financially, and the interest has flagged. F or boys, like men, •need more than supervision, they need heartening in tbeir tasks, and inspiration. It is my judgment that the snops should be put into the hands o f a man with business training and mechanical ability, who, if he is a lover o f boys and has the missionary call, will develope this Institution into a large enterprise. Such a man should be specially secured in England or Am erica without delay. I have no hesitation !in saying that a qualified man would soon be able to provide all expenses o f administration, including his own salary, from the shops themselves.

IV . T h e Cir c u it s i

Ahbarpur Circuit.—Brother Jai Ram Caleb and his workers have had good success. The best sign o f it is the spirit o f union and glad “service among the preachers. At the head of the circuit we had a test pase with the Arya Samaj in which we were successful. Two children Tia'd been forcib ly taken to an A rya Institution; we challenged the authority by which this bold act was accomplished, and were sustained by the court. The children are now under Christian instruction and have been baptized. The villages round about are pleased over the out. come o f the case, and the preachers immensely encouraged to “ preach the W ord with boldness.”

Auraiya Circuit.—It has been a year of discouragement. Brother Mohan Lall Samsun, Preacher-in-charge, has had constant sickness in his fam ily At Auraiya during the rains there was an epidemic of cholera. Two hundred died in fifteen days. The poor lay unburied In the streets, fo r the local police were, for the time, disorganized. ¿JlS I write these words one o f the preachers is waiting for me to instruct him whether or not he is to return to his village. The plague is raging and the village is in terror. He will go to his post if I say the word ; I hesitate, and am seeking the mind of the L ord . Pray for Auraiya Circuit,/, Bilhaur Circuit.— In great contrast has been the success on the Bilhaur Circuit. Bilhaur itself is a very healthy place and the workers have,all been well, with the exception of some ordinary fever cases, ih e re was plague in one or two centers. A n e w school was opened in July with one o f our Middle Passed boys from Cawnpore in-charge. In three months’ time it was paying the salary o f the master. The nonj Christians have sent their boys for the sake of the Ecglisb, and we are taking advantage of the opportunity and'teaching them Christ as well. The; parents g lad ly consent The Bit boor annual mela continues a center o f heathen worship and o f increasing Christian work.1 . _ Cawnpore Circuit.—The center of this work is our Hindustani Church

iifcCivil Lines and the City. Here is a completely organized Indian Church, wholly self-supporting and self-directing under the discipline. The Pastor, Brother Gulzari Lall, who is also Preacher-in-charge o f the circuit, is ably supported by Church, Sunday School, and Ep- WOith League Officers. Of the gracious revival that broke out in March I will speak later. The Cantonment Church has been unfor­tunate during the past year on account of the sickness and discourage­ment o>f-the Pastor. Tt has seemed best to discontinue the Cantonment as .a. separate c ircu it; it will ba hereafter unitedjwith the Cawnpore Oirc.uit, ;though the Cantonment Church will be continued as a separate congregation.* Fatehgarh Circuit,—Next to the Cawnpore Circuit it is the m ost

important center o f our work. Brother Bartholomew Gardner has been untiring, and that in the face o f some severe discouragements, Ghuhni L ail,-a choice loca l preacher, died in September. It w ill be difficult'id supply his.place. The District Superintendent conducted special meetings early in the year with gracious results. The new

CAWNPORE DISTRICT, 7-7

Cburch enterprise is slowly shaping into form, though we are not jret ready to break ground. We cannot yet see our way ‘ ‘ clear through. ** Government has finally granted us the right o f burial in the Fateh- garh Cemetery—of which privilege I trust we shall be very backward to avail ourselves i he entire circuit shows the results of conscien­tious and constant work.

Konch Circuit, —It is the southernmost part o f the district and carries us to tbe edge o f the city o f Jbansi. A number o f our "people live in Jhansi itself.. aDd, I am convinced, we should station a worker among them at no distant way, although we have been requested not to enter. We desire to dwell in amity and com ity with othei mis­sions, but our experience is teaching us (rather dearly) that, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, our duty i9 to look after our people. With some who cannot ani some who loill not the whole matter of missioii eomity in the Cawnpore District is a puzzler. Perhaps the Edinburgh Ecumenical Conference will suggest a statistical form for Church membership in heathen lands with a special column headed : “ count­ed twice.” This is a general remark, applicable to the entire d is­trict. -■

Madhogarh Circuit.— It is next to cur youngest circuit, but it show’s marked advance It is virgin soil and is yielding a generous return at first the opposition and even persecution were bitter, but, during the last year, there have been many marks of kindness shown to oui* preachers. Baptisms have included high and low ca&te people alike. The increase is wholly a matter of our ability to supply pastors and teachers to the people who wait for our coming.

Orai Circuit. — There has been good work and some advance. Brother Brij Lall Titus has not spared himself and his preachers have been faithful. In K aipi our Superannuated Brother Chheda Lall,has shown himself as ‘ ‘ fit” as most of our younger men ; h isa g e has in* deed added to the effectiveness of his ministry At Jalaun there baa been discouragement. There are numerous vacant houses which have become infested with deadly serpents as a result of which this year many persons have been bitten and died, including one o f our Christ­ian women. But Jalaun is the center o f a large area o f grpat hopefulness ; there is an opening here among the Chaxnars.

Sarsaul C i r c u i t It is the “ baby ,” and a vigorous baby it is ¡N.T. Childs, Headmaster o f our Cawnpore Anglo-Vernacular School, requested the privilege of starting some special work that his bpys might have experience in village preaching on Sundays while still, in school. The results have been most gratifying. The boys have had frequent “ Gospel tramps ” on holidays and Sundays. Some of the district workers who had not been successful in other circuits have, under Master Childs’ wise direction, proved very effective and suc­cessful, There have been six baptisms during the year ; a number are.under instruction. Sarsaul is twelve miles East of CawDpore on the E._ I...Railway. It will be a future center of much value to our work. It is well bain. . . . .•••’

Tirvoaganj Circuit.—A well-directed and carefully taught circuit. Brother Rahim Khan has shown energy and discretion in his work. The Epworth League has received special attention. Serious illness in the homes of three preachers hindered the work for many months, but the year closed with renewed courage.

V. Me m b e r s h ip a n d B a p t i s m s .

There are in the disrict 1,135 full members o f the Methodist Espis- copal Church, 645 probationers, and 8o4 baptized children, a Christ­ian community of 2,5^4 persons. W e have lost during tbe year by rem oval and death 239, and have baptized 256 mostly from among

There are 31 day schools for men and boys with 637 u readers.” There are 33 day schools for women and girls with 311 “ readers.” Of course these are v illage and m ohulla schools o f the most prim ary grade. But they teach our people to read and write fend are the beginning of light in their darkness.

VI. Sp r e a d in g t h e W o r d .

Our preachers recognize that their business is to spread the W ord Of God. It has been proved by long experience that to give away tbe Scriptures is a less effective method than to sell them. Our workers first arouse interest in tbe W ord of G od by preaching in the Bazars aod melas, or by teaching irom house to bouse ; they then offer the printed book. T o sell a portion o f the Bible to a mao means that a soul has been “ baited ,” and somewhere, somehow, will be gathered into the “ basket ” o f some fisherman of the Kingdom. During the year there have been sold 49 Bibles, 78 New Testaments, 4,812 Gospels, and 652 C h risian books. There have been distributed 41,145 tracts, containing tens of thousands of pages of fundamental Christian teaching. We can afford to-await the harvest from such a sowiDg. for it will be sure His W ord returneth not void.

V II.. T it h in g a n d Se l f - S u p p o r t .

So far as I know, Cawnpore District is the first of our Indian districts in which the workers have voluntarily come forward and signed a tithing covenant. It is my great joy to report that, as one o f the results o f G od ’ s H oly fp ir it o f Truth working in the hearts o f our preachers, this has been done during the past year There was, o f course, full and explicit teaching o f the W ore of God, but the move­ment on the part o f the workers was wholly voluntary. That theirs has been a joyfu l giving was seen at our recent District Conference when, from every circuit, reports and speeches showed that our workers have caught something of the vision o f tbe possibilities o f a self-sup* porting Church. The uawnpore Hindustani Circuit has contributed Jts. l.3t'5 for self-support and benevolences which is Ks. 2-4-u per member for every full member, probationer, and baptized child. The outlyiDg circuits have contributed Rs, 848 fo r self-support and bene­volences, an average o f eight annas for every full member, probationer and baptized child. The Cawnpore English Church has contributed for self-support, property up-keep, and benevolences Rs. 5,022, only a small part o f which is the Military Chaplaincy grant. A total o f Rs. 7.176 raised on the field for pastoral support and Church work, o f which Ks. 2,153 comes from our Hindustani people, though not in itself a great result, is yet worthy o f notice, first, because it marks significant advance during the past year, and, second, because it points the way to permanent results in the difficult problem o f a self-supporting Indian Church.

V III . T h e R e v i v a l

I feei that I must tread softly as 1 write. The ground is holy. There was a month o f preparatory preaching in the mohullas o f Cawn­pore where our Christians live. This continued from February 15th, every night, until March 15th At our regular Church Prayer Meeting on March 17th the unmistakable revival verve was clearly manifest, and on March 22nd special meetings began and continued morning and evening in the Parade and City Churches without interruption until May 3lst. Aft^r the forth week there was no need of further ‘ ‘ announcement,” the meetings announced themselves, The Parade Church was closed

KASGANJ DISTRICT. 79

aiid the campaign for souls was opened in our Central Church in the City Were for six weeks longer our people wrought by prayer, song, exhortation, visiting, and preachiDg. and when, on the last Sunday o f M ay —Pentecost Sunday—I announced that, for the present, the special meetings would be discontinued, our young men could not be restrain­ed from organizing their own “ open -a ir” band for nightly street meetings. Some o f them are expert tennis players, but the Mission courts this year were overgrown with weeds. It was a Prayer Revival— prayer with fasting. First, school boys prayed for their class fellows, than the prayer o f the Church ascended for spiritually back-slidden Church members, then for baptized people who were living in sin, then fo r non-Christian men and women in the mohallas, then for non- Christian families, then for the City. The revival follow ed exactly the pathway cut by tnose edged prayers, and in that very order. I have seen the Power of G od in America, but never have I witnessed such intense and c »ntinued yearnirg o f body and soul for the salvation o f God as I beheld during those three months. Often our people would remain in prayer and fastiDg the whole day and far into the night. There were some significant conversions and baptisms among high caste people, but the largest result of the revival was the baptism of Jove and power that fell upon many o f our preachers and people, a baptism which still abides. The manifestation of the unseen presence was very marked ; I do not mean physical manifestations, but rather an overwhelming sense of majesty and awe that rested upon the people, Often I would walk among the silent crowds as our people prayed and plead fo r them in the City Church. Men would piteously reach their hands to me and cry, “ O Sahib, what shall we do ! ” It was the ques­tion they asked at Pentecost, and, with blinding tears, 1 could only reply as Peter did, and look to God to set them free. I wonder how Peter would have answered if they had asked him that question in caate- bound India.

O for a larger understanding of the depth of sin and o f the infinite efficacy o f the B lood o f Christ 1 lh a t Blood will avail for this caste- cursed land, for it is the outpoured Life o f God.

L ’e n v o i

F or six years we have sought to do the work o f a Christian M is­sionary in the City and District o f Cawnpore, having previously served a pastoral term in the Bombay Conference. As we now avail ourselves of the permission o f the Board, and return to the home-land we disire to thank our brethren for their kindness to us both and for their con­fidence, which is more to be prized than gold . W e here declare our uttermost belief in our Indian brethren and in the sure v ictory of Indian Christianity. And we desire humbly to return thanks to God for His great mercy and love during these years o f toil.

Kasganj District Rev. Mahbub Khan, District Superintendent.

This district in the United Provinces of A gra and Oudh is bound­ed on the North by the river Ganges, on the East by the district o f Farrukhabad, on the South by the Jumna and on the W est by A li­garh.

the Mainpuri District. The population of this territory is formed up, lo r the mo*t part of Hindus, the various classes among whom nearly embrace the same religion. The next great community are the Moham­medans. This district contains 97»,960 people speaking Urdu and Hindi and follow ing every kind of profession, but generally the people are cultivators Here we have three railway lines : ■-

1. The East Indian Railway, running on the borders of Southand W est;

2. The Rajputana-Malwa Railway passiDg through many o f ourcircuits;

3. The Rohilkhand-Kam aon Railway, running from Kasganjtowards the Ganges in the North.

Twenty years back there was not a single member of the Metho­dist Episcopal mission here on this side. But Dr R Hoskins of Budaon on the other side o f the river Ganges baptised some persons on this side and appointed some preachers to visit this place frequently for preaching. Rev. Hasan Raza Khan was afterwards appointed, in the year 1884, as a Preacher in Kasganj. He began the work o f the Lord. Jesus Christ with great zeal and enthusiasm and aided by two other workers his efforts ende^ in great success. During that time Bishop A W, Parker and Rev F, L. Neeld supervised the work in succession. G radually the work of the place increased and it became a district under the supervision o f Rev. Ha?an Raza Khan. Since then the work went on increasing and by the blessing of God it reach­ed to a better footing After the sudden death o f Kev Hasan Raza Khan, the district remained under the charge of Rev J. B. Thomas for two years. From the time he was transferred I have been working as the Superintendent of this district. The Christian community at present is 11,419 and there are many seekers after Christ the average ~of baptisms is Dearly 700 a year. Besides the E piscopal two other Societies have been working in the bounds of this district for a long time

This year o f 1909 came to us with more power, spiritual blessings and heavenly benedictions. Revival Meetings were held in many places of some importance during the year Our Christians o f ad­jacent villages attending these spiritual m eetiDgs got the redemption o f sin and new birth, the proof o f which is evident by finding their con ­dition changed snd their character and conduct changed They are now laying aside their old customs. The non-Christians, finding such a change in them, say, in reality, Christianity has made them nice people From February 20th up to 27th, 1909, B ishop F. W . W arne, for giving help to the Revival work, made a tour over the district and held Revival Meetings in ¡4 places. He visited such places as no m issionary had ever reached. An excellent way o f Bishop W arne was, after singing hymns and prayers, to ask the v il­lage Christians some religious things, viz. Ten Commandments, Apostles Creed, L ord ’s Prayer^.the_Birth^oi our Saviour, an account of his life, and the way o f salvation. Afterwards he asked questions regarding intoxication and idolatry and examined Bible-readers both men and women in the congregation and requested the men working without pay to stand in the midst and read the Bible to the congrega­tion.' He then preached a sermon and invited the people close to the pulpit for showers of blessings. They confessed their sins and got new hearts in 'hese KeWval Meetings. "We have in our district a nice •chance o f making the people hear the W ord o f God. Most of the people give a year to our teaching eagerly. Though we have hundreds o f inquirers we do not baptise them soon unless we find, by careful examination, that these are really going to hate sin taking Jesus Christ for their Redeemer. W e baptise not only a few members o f a fam ily but we baptise them all. There were 7-75 baptisms during the

KASGANJ DISTRICT. 81

year—§40 from among the non-Christians and 250 children from the Christian parents. Two Mohamedans came under the flag of Christ namely, Ramzan Khan working at the Kailway Station and Abdul Gafc-or, who went away to Oawnpore. Our heart9, through the help of God, are full of hopes for tha future. In K asgacj we have strong tie o f fam iliarity and friendship with the Hindus and Mohamedans. They read our books and talk on religious matters. They, instead of showing any kind of hatsed and ill-feelings towards the Christians, have friendly talks over religious matters. They willingly help us by lending many things, carpets, tukhts &c., at the time o f our Dis­trict conference. Our hearts are filled with joy and thacks to God when we find such a change in the non-Christians, bringing back in memory the time when they hated and oppressed the Christians the most in Kasganj Now they pay respects to our missionaries visiting Kasganj. Here we have our work especially in the caste of Chamars ( among the non-Christians) living in some mohallas. W e have ap­pointed one of our Mission Preachers particularly for them.

Etah is 19 miles from Kasganj by pucca Road ; it has no railway line. Our Christian community in the circuit is ,392. Revival Meet­ings were held in some places during the year.

In Sikandra R ao Circuit we have our work in the Christians as. well as non-Christians.

The town of Marehra is held sacred ..by the Mohamedans, who visit this place in numbers We have a good opportunity to work among the Mohamedans. Here our Christian community is 881.

Soron.—This town, in miniature, copes with the beauty and popu­lation o f a big town at the timed of the Hindu melus which are frequent in every month o f the year. The work o f our mission goes on nicely. Out of 883 Christians in this circuit many can read the Bible.

Aliganj, Qaimgauj and Sahawar ate peopled, for the most part, by the Pathans We have Our work in them, They do not show any kind of bigotry but gladly hear what we teach them from tne Bible.

Patiali, being on the right bank o f the Ganges is a place of some -mportance. The Kayesths of this town are in friendly terms with us. They are ready to help us within their reach. The Christian commu­nity o f this circuit is 13-8.

W e are sometimes met with difficulties, but, through His help, they are easily rem o/ed. There are 60 schools for boys and girls besides one A. V. School at Kasganj. It is through them that many can read the Bible. Through these schools our Christians are im ­proving to an advanced stage in spiritual life. The nation our Christ­ians are for the most part carved out was devoid of education touch. It was an extraordinary thing for them. Now most of them can read the Bible and other religious books. Men of education cast an eye o f contempt over them, but now the hatred is lessened.

The Anglo-Vernacular school for higher education at Kasganj commands an enrolment of 'li4 boys. Out of tnese 32 are Christians and others non-Christians of high castes. Among the non-Christian boys who completed their course of studies for the Middle Standard was a C hristian boy who joined the mission work in the Meerut Mis­sion School. Our Mission School brings us in close and friendly con­tact with the rich and poor who are g!ad to send their boys to be b r o u g h t up under Christian influence.

O u r F o r c e .

The working force o f this district consists o f three m issionaries, two m issionaries’ wives, three missionaries of the W om an ’ s Foreign M issionary Society, eleven Indian members of the Annual Conference, one hundred and thirty eight other male workers and in regular mis* sion employment and one hundred and fourteen Indian women workers, making a total o f two hundred and seventy one. Through the prayers and efforts o f these workers we have had 1,934 baptisms during the past year and our Christian community now numbers 23,586. Over 200 converts have been transferred to another district.

T h e Y e a r .

The year on the whole has been a com paratively good one. Famine conditions have been slowly disappearing. W orld-w ide high prices affect us, but the dreadful and dreaded pinch is relaxing. There has been only an occasional case o f plague within our borders. A little cholera has been about, and a few victims to this destroyer have been reported among our people. The after-rains fever has again this year been very prevalent and trying. But as compared with last year the m ortality has been far less. The opportunities on the whole for pushing the work have been fairly g ood .

R e g u l a r W o r k .

Regular work on all lines has gone on without serious hindrance, Our workers as a rule have been cnntinuously at their post Evange­listic work has absorbed the tirae and strength o f most. Our force compared with converts and enquirers is too small to be divided up to and considerable extent. It means much when this work can be pros­ecuted with unhindered regularity,

S p e c ia l E v a n g e l is t ic W o r k ,The month set apart for special evangelistic work the year prevt*

ous by the Commission on Aggressive Evangelism was made such a general blessing that the same plan was adapted for the year now closing. The month began t&e middle of February As to results in the Meerut District they were substantially a repetition o f those o f the year previous. The body o f our workers manifested the fullest sympathy and intensest interest in the movement, They wrought with marked zeal. The villages with Christians and enquirers were care­fully canvassed. I'he workers as able helped each other. G od was manifestly in the movement The people were drawn together in a very unusual manner. Many were blessed. There were seasons o f rich refreshing for the workers. Preachers and teachers were led into a richer love fo r their people. They have been learning as never before how to prosecute this kind o f work. There was much earnest seeking after God. There wa9 a time when few indeed o f our Indian workers knew how to successfully and fruitfully conduct Revival work. It is a matter o f very great encouragement to see the marked growth in such leadership am ong our preachers. G od has so put His seal upon this special plan fo r aggressive evangelism that it seems likely to become a fixture in our Indian Methodism.

Su m m e r B ib l e S c h o o l .This year our Summer Bible School was held during the month o*

July, which on the whole seems to be the best month for such work 1 W ith few exceptions our male workers were present. They continued high prices made it needful for a few to leave their fam ilies at home as the burden of extra expense would have been too heavy. The op ­portunities t3 teach and learn were the best enjoyed for three or four years. The necessity o f a zealous prosecution o f work o f this kind was never more clearly manifest. It was clear that numbers had been hindered in their growth by failure to have in consequence of sickness or famine the fu ll measure of work in these gatherings during thé past recent years. Amid the deadening influence o f an antichristian atmosphere it ia not strange that the rank and file »>f such workers must needs have the inspiration of such gatherings with their evange­listic services and special teaching, This year sol id and substantial work was done B ible exegesis and the fundamentals o f theology were kept to the front. The ex ercses were greatly appreciated. There were evangelistic services as well each day. These received the seal o f God and were made very helpful. Rev. E. Stanley Jones o f Lucknow rendered good service in these meetings fo r sevaral days

W e have long had a good work going on among the tanner por­tion o f the great Chamar easte. There are some six thousand con ­verts in our field from among them But these people are found in com paratively few places. The sboe-maker portion of the same gene­ral caste are found everywhere and their number is legion. There are some 6Ui>,000 of the whole caste in the. territory of the Meerut District. Much prayer has been offered and effort made to secure a great break among these shoe-makers In small numbers they have been com ing to us for many years and numbers o f our most efficient Christian work­ers have come from their ranks. Some three years since a great work opened among the shoe-makers in Ghaziabad. This work has gone on very encouragingly and in that circuit alone m ore than a thousand baptisms have taken place. Several hundred have algo been gathered in other circuits. The movement presents apparently the greatest possibilities that we have faced in our work from the begin-

Ding. In a very limited number o f villages a thousand more of they w iphto,.be evangelized and baptised. The heavy burdens upon us ià'O&ring fbr the work already in hand has rendered it quite im pos­sible to take üp this work with a large and comprehensive plan. W hát bas been accomplished.has resulted from increased burdens on shoul­ders already fully laden.' There is the most pressing need o f training ^çjmë scores o f these p é o pie in. our school in affeerut to enable us , to pat breadth and vigour into this prom ising work. There are ‘many yoúhg men and'women who have acquired ability to read and who constitute very promising material for a force of such workers. OurÍpresent facilities quite precludé provisions for the movement that aces us among these interesting people. It is one o f the greatest o f a

poi^sipnary’ s trials to see such pressing wants left unmet.

I; It is commonly well-known that the masses o f our converts have com e from the lower strata: o f society as regards their socia l stand­ing- -There was a time when; fears were very prevalent among m is­sionary workers that these great in gatherings might prove a serious obstacle in. the way o f evangelization among the higher castes and classes. Such would most likely be led it was thought to look upon Christianity as a religion for the dregs o f society. But experience is rapidly dissipating these fears and apprehensions. In this region there is among representatives o f the higher strata o f society a spirit o f friendliness unprecedented in our experience One high caste man was recently .baptized who was taught by a tanner convert. A land- holdèr . lèarned of a Christian service from his sweeper employees Who were con verts and went some.miles to attend it and was one of the .most interested listeners.

SCOPE OF THE W o r k ,

By reference to past reports o f the Muttra District one can get a good idea o f the extent and scope o f this field. It extends fo r about one hundred miles along both sides o f the river Jumna, and takes in the civ il Districts o f Muttra, A gra, Mainpuri, Etah and A ligarh , with a population o f about four millions. It abounds in large, and important cities, which are surrounded by thousands o f villages. Muttra has a population of 60,000; Brindaban 150,000; A gra '50,0u0 ; A ligarh 100,000 ; Hathras 30,000; Bharatpur 50,000; Deeg 20,000; and. besides these there are a large number o f towns having a population o f from i«,000 to 15,000. Government, recognizing the importance of this section of India, has constructed throughout it a perfect network o f good roads, so that one can reach almost any part of the field with great ease and rapidity. The importance o f Muttra and B rinda­ban as centres of,Hinduism ; of A ligarh as a centre o f Mohammedan­ism ; and o f A gra as a place of historic and architectural, interest is so well known that it is noD necessary that I should take time to speak o f them in these respects

E n g l i s h W o r k .

The District Superintendent is Acting Chaplain for Presbyterians, W esleyans and other Non-conformists, at Muttra Three services are held regularly during the week. There are two Sunday services and one week night meeting, Throughout the Summer the attendance averaged from twenty-five to thirty five men right along. In the 15th H u ssars there were several very earnest Christian men. In Novem­ber this Regiment left for South A frica , and another Cavalry R egi­ment, the R oya l Dragoons, from Lucknow, has been sent to Muttra. In this Regiment, too, there are a number of earnest Christian men, among whom is the C olonelof the Regiment, C olonel deLisle, and sev­eral of the Non-Commissioned Offlceirs. Colne] deLisle is greatly inter­e s te d in all the Christian work among the soldiers, and often leads the religious meetings himself

O ur English Church at A gra has had a good year, in spite o f the fact that there was no Resident Pastor for the greater part o f the year. Miss Holman did wonders in keeping up the interest, and arranging for supplies, until the com ing of Mr K eislar, in October. After Mr. Guthrie left for Allahabad, shortly after the Annual Con­ference, Mr. Dovey, Master Gunner in the Port at A gra , a L ocal Preacher in our Church, supplied the pulpit very acceptably for several Sundays, On his* departure for England, early in the Spring, Miss Holman arranged to have the pUlpit supplied by various m iss­ionaries, from other missions in Agra, and from our own mi sion in n orthern India. One English service, and a Sunday School is held there every Sunday, besides a Prayer-Meeting durng the week. The congregations have been good, and the interest has kept up well throughout the year, A gra isa place where we should always have o n e o f our strongest missionaries, and this English Church should never be neglected

Mr K eislar got back in time to give very valuable assistance, with the other missionaries at A g ra in arranging for the 4th W orld ’ s Convention o f the Christian Endeavour Society. This C on ­vention was a great success. At least fifty o f the m issionaries *of the Methodist Episcopal Church were in attendance, aod hundreds o f our

fiindustani workers, and Christians. The enthusiasm was great, and the meeting's very inspiring. When India has a becretary who can devote all o f his time to Epworth League work, it might be well fo r us, too , to have a W o r ld ’ s Convention at Agra.

I n s t i t u t i o n .

At Aligarh we have three large Institutions, The W om an ’s Industrial Home, with abot ¿10 women and girls, is in . charge of Mrs, Matthews Several kinds of industries, such as lace-making, bakery, dairy, gardening aQd field-work are carried on successfully. This is a very difficult work, butMrs Matthews is doing wonders with these women.

The G irls’ Orphanage is in charge o f Miss Bobenhouse. She re* ports that they have had a good year. She has taken no vacation this year, but has kept right at her post all the year. Doubtless her Institution will be the better for it, but I doubt very much the wisdom of this course. Several of her large girls have been married during the year, some o f them to mission workers.

The B oys’ Industrial Orphanage which is affiliated with the Roorkee College, has also had a good year. Rev. C. H. Plomer and Mrs.Plomer have managed the Institution themselves this year, and the result has been very gratifying. We have had for the year, an average o f a littile more than 80 boys. Shoe-making weaving, carpentry and farming have been carried on with a good measure o f success. The income from the Shoe-Department, for the year, has been Rs. 1,207; fi’rom the W eaving Department, Rs 480; From tbe Carpentry-Department, Rs. 1085; From the Gardening and Farming Departments, Rs. 52; a total income of Rs. 2,824. One o f the boys wa9 sufficiently advanced to enter our Anglo-Vernacular Sch ool at Muttra, and another boy will probably be admitted next year. Still another boy will probably be admitted next year to our Muttra Training School for V illage workers. Some o f the larger boys of the institution help regularly in Sunday School work in the villages and mohallas

At Brindaban Miss Scott carried on her Medical work, with her usual success, until May o f this year, when, on account o f con ­tinued illness, she was compelled to g o to the hills and finally, when she did not get back her strength, it was thought best for her to go home on furlough. She sailed for Am erica the latter end o f Sep­tember. Her illness and absence have placed a very heavy load o f work on Miss. Teriell, ouj* Trained Nurse, who began her work a year ago, but she has shown herself quite equal to the tasks im­posed upon her, Mrs. K eislar M.D. has greatly helped out the situa­tion, by making numerous visits to Brindaban since her return to India. The new H ospital has been completed at a cost o f between Rs. 8,00 >, and Rs. 9,00u. Brindaban is a very important field, and we are expecting great help in the work from this H ospital. During the past year ten or twelve thousand people have received medical assistance from our Dispensary and Hospital.

At Muttra we have three distinct and separate institutions. The Blackstone M issionary Institute, in charge o f Misses Gregg« Mc- Knight and Parkhurst, has had a very successful year. In the English Training Department there have been eight young women during the year. Some of these have finished their course o f study, and have gone out into the work. In the Hindustani Training Department there have been eighty girls, and in the G irls ’ Boarding School one hundred and sixteen. This is a considerable increase upon the numbers o f last year,

MUTTRA DISTRICT 87

Our B oys’ B oarding School has had an average during thé year o f about fifty. Two of the boys passed the Anglo-Vernacular Middle ' Exam ination, and have entered our High School at Morada- bad. The boys o f our Boarding School attend our Anglo-Ver?- nacular School, in F lora Hall, in the centre of the City o f Muttra. A bout 110 Hindu and Mohammedans boys attend this School with them. The S ch ool exerts a tremendous influence for good upon the City.

The Training School for v illage workers has had a good year. From it, during the year, we have sent out into the work a half dozen men with their wives.

Summer School

' This yfear the Summer School, blosing with the District Conference, was held from July 9th to Aug. 16th. W e had a total attendance o f 372, from outside. There were 121 men, 103 women, 79 boys, and 69 ,g irls. One solid month was spent in study, interspersed, by lectures from some o f our leading missionaries, and the balance Of the inae was given up to examinations, District Conference, and Revival Meetings. W e were fortunate in haviDg Bishop W arne,, Rev.. John Forman and Dr. W . A . Mansell to help .us in. ou r R evival Meetings. Our people were greatly blessed, and many of. them came into an altogether nçw experience of spiritual things. ‘ I am persuaded that the Summer S ch oo l pays- It is held at a time of the y e a r ,when it is difficult fo r our workers to get abbut among the villages, on account o f the rains, so the time is practically saved. The workers, both men and women, g o back to their fields o f labor with a new outlook,

In all ofiour circuits special evangelistic effort was made..during February ; &hd , M arch, and; much g o o d was done. Miss. McLieavy, L azar Shaw, and his wife, and some others form our Evangelistic Band. During the year they have done work in twelve out o f the nineteen circuits o f the District, and have done much in gettings our Christians to abandon many o f their o ld heathenish practises, and superstitions,, and have encouraged them to contribute for the sup­port o f the work. I believe that our people are im proving along all lines W e have 19,668 Christian?, living in 1,339 villages This year we have had 1,464 baptisms, The number o f deaths has been very large, viz.. 952. It is estimated that one in every twenty, in these Provinces, has died from the fever that has been so prevalent, dur­ing the past year. Muttra District was said to be the worst G overn­ment sent in a special commission to enquire into the cause, and, to try to remedy it, Much has been accomplished through their efforts, and, as a result, the mortality has been greatly decreased. A il the boys and, g ir ls : of our schools were carefully examined, and proper.doses of.quinine were prescribed to be. taken daily for about two months before the worst fever season came on. Government supplied all of the quinine. This was not only beneficial as a health measure, but had a broadening .influence.on the Hindu and M oham­medan hoys ©f our School.

Three o f our workers have died during the year. Two o f them were from among our oldest workers in India Chunni Lai was a Member of Conference, and one of our Preachers in-charge. During our laat Summer Sch ool, he .received great blessings, and greatly helped our other workers in getting nearer to God. He has left behind him a good testimony. , His end was peace.

We were especially-favored in having Ex. Vice-President and.Mrs. Fairbanks visit our work at Muttra, onyNov, 29th, o f this year. Our Hiudustani people decorated the place in a way fitting the occasion, and lined t .e driveways o f the compound, “ S.alaming” to them as they passed by. They visited our New Hospital at Briudaban in the after­noon, and in the evening Mr. Fairbanks gaye an address in o.ur City 6hurch, 10 a large and representative audience, o f European officials, Hindus, and Mohammedans. The Collector o f Muttra took the chair, and the Colonel of the Regiirent moved a vote of thanks to the speaker, at the,close of the address.,Mr, Jordon, Head Master o f our B oys ’ School at M oradabad, very kindly came over to Muttra, and acted as interpreter for Mr Fairbanks, and greatly delighted the entire Audience with his very accurate, and detailed interpretation: of. all that the speaker 3aid: Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks both seemed much ftieased. with our work. Their visit Wds greatly appreciated by tbe leading Bindu and Mohammedan gentlemen o f both Muttra and Brindabaa, who had the privilege o f meeting them, and also by; the European Government officials, who did everything in their power .to make their visit ¡enjoyable, I believe their visit will be a.real benefit to our work. •

It is not an easy thing to officiate fo r another-. No two popple do their work ia jusjt the same way. I have tried to ;do every thing in the way that I think the District Superintendent would have done ifc had he been here, but I realize;that. I have failed in many ;th in gs However, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have tried, and X believe that there has been some real progress in the work I am under great obligations to our entire stajT of .Missionaries; Assist­ants, and Preachers, for the very: valuable , assistance- th^t; they have given me in this very heavy work. The. year has been a strenuous one, but my health has been good , and HU grace, has at alii times been sufficient for me* ;T o Him bp all the praise!

9 0 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS.

Punjab District.J. C. Butcher, District Superintendent-

With a combined sense of responsibility and inability the superin­tendent returns to hi? district. The furlough to America was a time of refreshing, though it did not secure to the district any great amount o f financial help. Yet it was pleasant to tell the story of India to interested auditors, and encouraging to find so many anxious fo r the salvation of the world, The missionary after such contact is more than ever assured o f the sjm pathy and prayers o f multitudes in the home land. The sight o f the field again makes him feel the insufficiency o f all earthly help, The writer cannot lift his eyes and contemplate the whole o f his field without thinking that be and his supporters and the whole Methodist Church are inadequate for the task. “ Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it .”

W e are undertaking in the Punjab District to carry the Gospel to six million people, whom no one else is endeavoring to evangelize, Over a million o f these belong to the classes-which are responding to the invitation. More than half-a.-million are chuhras (sweepers, who seem to be all anxious to enrol themselves among us ; the other half-m illion are chamars (leather-workers) by caste, who seem to be hesitating as to whether they shall come to us in a body, or not. Thé great bulk o f all these chuhras and chamars are farm -laborers, and many of them, with a little help, will make fine Christian men and women. The annual report shows 15,063 Christians on our books, o f whom 2,177 were baptized this year.

T o care for these converts, teach their children, and evangelize the other six! millions, we have o n 'o u r pay-roll three missionaries andninty-one Indian workers. A ll o f the Indian workers are sup* ported by special gift9 from Am erica and money collected from the converts. The salaries o f the missionaries and all the incidental expenses are paid by the Board-of Foreign Missions. The Disricfe Superintendent has been absent on his trip to Am erica most o f the time during the last two years, in his absence the district has been cared for by the Kev J.'T , Robertson. -Bro. Robertson returned from furlough two years ago, and picfched itito the work with great v igor, holding revivalimeetings and inciting the brethren to work fo r deeper spiritual results- About the middle o f the first year his little girl became ill with Typhoid Fever, and he himself in the Fall became desperately ill with blood-poisoning, so much so that Bishop W arne was obliged to send the Rev. F M. W ilson to held him ou,fc. Bro, W ilson has beep with us ever since, and has been a flaming evangelist am ong our people, over 1,1 »0 o f whom have professed to receive a change of heart in his meetings Bishop W arne also helped in the

aümmer school in 1908, and during this year bas made some, good long evangelietin tours in the district with a large measure of blessing to the people. It will thus be seen that while the sicknees of Bro. Robertson has interfered with the administration of the district, yet an extra amount of evangelistic work has been done. In spite of his sickness Bro. Robertson has stuck to bis work, much of which lie did while in his bed. The Indian workers have as a rule been faithful and efficient, and God has certainly manifested a disposition to bless their labors.

The district is altogether too large, and, as soon as means allow, it must be divided into several smaller districts. From Muzaft'argarh on the west to Rewari oia Dehli oo the east is 579 miles by the shortest’ line o f railway, tn other directions it is, from Lahore, to Ambala 187, to > atiala 186, to Sangrur 165, and to Batala 57 miles Some of this country is desert, much of which is being made fruitful by irriga ­tion ; some o f it is fruitful when the rains are satisfactory, bub suffers from frequent scarcity ; but on the whole the province is one of the richest and most prosperous in India. M oreover, it is full o í v igorous and enterprising people, many o f whom are dissatisfied with their ancestral religions- Last year we handed over to the Church M issionary Society our work in the Amritsar and Butari Circuits.; The work o f the district this year has been in 16 circuits, each o f which has been in charge o f an ordained Indian Minister. They are as fo llow s : —

Ambala is 187 miles to the east o f Lahore In this circuit there are five paid workers and 505 Christians, liv ing in 28 villag.-s There are also some 209 inquirers being prepared fo r baptism, during this year 53 were baptized.

Bahadargarh is on the short line to Debli. It is 278 miles from Lahore and 19 from Delhi. The circuit covers a very large and fruitful, but slightly worked, field in the Hindustani country. We have only four paid workers, while there are 959 Christians, and ther were 187 baptisms this year 500 inquirers are being prepared for baptism, many whom are chamars. Some chamars were baptized this year.

Batala is 57 miles to the north-east o f Lahore. This circuit ought to be largely reinforced and -divived. It is about 50 miles long and about 2U miles wide. There are only nine workers caring for 3,232 Christians and 700 inquirers, they work in 70 villages But there are many villages in which the Gospel is not being preached. One E x­hortar has been stationed 19 miles distant from any other worker, he has Jiad charge o f 635 Christians, and claims that he has 1,000 people who want to become Christians. That one Exhorter’ s charge ought to be made in to a circuit.

B&afinda, H3 miles south of Lahore, is on the edge of the desert. It is in the Patiala Native State, and is a tight little town of impor* tanee from of old. A fort overlooks the to^n, and the people claim that the fort is 9,000 years old. It promises to be~a much more impor­tant place in the future, as they are making it a great railway centre; already the lines go out of it in 6even directions Our work so far h as not l?een very extensive, we have scaroely got outside of Bhatinda, .though there is an absolutely no mission work being done by any body within 100 miles to the south, east or west. Our force of workers consists o f a preacher, a pastor-teacher, a colportour ( supported by the B '& F. Bible Society), and an apprentice. We have 97 Christians, o f whom 30 were baptized this year, and 200 are counted as inquirers.

Delhi, the ancient capital o f Hindustan, is still the chief com ­mercial city o f Upper India. It has a population o f over 200,001», and steadily grosvs in importance. W e have had work there lox

PUNJAB DISTRICT 91

about twenty years, but have never acquired any property or made any great display o f force. This year we have had iq u r workers in the city and two in outside villages. Tne most striking event in the year’ s work has been the interest among the chamars, o f whom 43 were baptized, while hundreds seem to be considering the matter. The report gives 900 Christians, living in 28 muhallas and Tillages, and about 500 inquirers

Ferozpur is an important city and garrison town with the largest arsenal in India. It is 58 miles south o i Lahore, and just a little south of the Sutlej river. W e have five worksrs in this circuit, and they minister to 466 Christians, who live in 15 muhallas and villages, and 10 about 400 inquirers. There were 55 baptisms this year.

Gurgaon is the southernmost Circuit o f the Punjab. The city, la south-west o f Delhi, 19 miles by railway and four miles more by cart. This circuit really ought to be divided into three, as the cities o f Rewari and Farrakhnagar are distant, and com m ercially are much more important than the capital city, Gurgaon. We have only five workers on tbe circuit, and they care for 915 Christians, who live in 36 villages and towns, and 500 inquirers. There were 158 baptisms this year. R ev . J. T„ Judd, the Pastor, died du rin g the year, but his son, S. E. Judd, left his School, and took his father’ s p lace. The District Conference has recommended him for ordination.

Lahore is the capital of the Punjab, and is a well built city with a population of 210,000. W e have a large and important work among the domestic servants of the civ il and m ilitary stations, and also among the sweepers o f the city. It is also headquarters for tbe missionaries, and is the on ly place in the Punjab, beside Multan, where we have any property. W e have here a neat little Church, a very fair m issionary’ s house, a line o f houses fo r the Indian workers, and tbe Johnson Memoria 1 Training School; all these with the land cost us about $ 13,000. W e have in hand $ 1,000, recently donated by one o f G od ’ s children in Am erica, fo r our first boys’ dorm itory. W hen that is completed, we shall be able to accommodate all the boys and young men for whom we are likely to get scholarships in -the near future. A t present we only have about thirty students, but we hope that number may be doubled during the com ing year. We have nine Indian workers in this circuit, and beside the schools they have to care for a community o f over 1,000 Christians, liv in g in 15 different places and instruct 2200 inquirers.

Lahore North C ircuit branches out from the town o f Shahdara, which is four miles from the city. The work in that direction is new. There are only four workers, who have charge o f 310 Christians, liv ing in 8 villages, and 400 inquirers. They claim to be working in 40 villages. 145 persons were baptized this year.

Montgomery is just now our most perplexing problem. It is a large district, covering 4,1511 square miles, and containing -463,586 people at the census o f lvo i Two years ago we were the on ly mission doing anything there, and we on ly had one man. W e now have three men in that circuit, and they report 446 Christians, liv ing in $ villages, and 600 inquirers. There are >,314 towns and villages, so there is certainly room fo r work. But two years ago, when' the N ational M issionary Society, an indigenous interdenominationa,l society, decided to begin work, they concluded, very properly,, that Montgomery was unoccupied territory. An abandoned mission house in the eastern part o f the district was offered them, and they com­menced operations, But we have a number of Christians liv ing in a few villages in that part o f the district, and no worker living near'to take care o f them ; so if this new society shall establish itself, it m ay

seiem expedient for as to get them to take care o f our converts. This year op.e o f the missionaries o f the " Church o f G od” Faith mission decided to gp. and commence operations it* Montgomery city, As he has taken with him a large staff of worker, it, raises the question as to whether we should withdraw our workers from that small city; ,and;get the other mission to look after our converts in that part of tj^e district.,, It is a little dUcouraging to our workers and supporters Jriteirested in a particular field, for us to withdraw, and seemingly iose the fru t o f their labors and sacrifices. But o f course none o f these withdrawals are made without an assurance that the converts will .probably get better care than we could give tbem. It Is so utterly unthinkable that welcan properly develop all the. field we have, that when some one c#ti be found, who will probably do better by it than we could, we are only top glad to load the burden upon them. In this way we have already relieved ourselves o f tbe care o f abouttw o thousand o f our converts, in various parts o f the district.

Multan is a large city 2'»8 miles south-west o f Lahore. Our work there began over twenty years ago with a small self-supi orting English w ork .. Tbat. was discontinued some years ago, but the native work that had grown up around it has continued to flourish, Though we have never had any great staff o f workers, yet we have always had an interesting -work, especially among the servants of the Eng­lish officers, and am ong the s.weepers o f the place. At present we have in Multan itself two workers and a colporteur, the latter being supported by the B. & F. B. S. In Muzaffargarh, 23 miles further west, we have the fourth worker. They report 800 Christians, living in 15 different communities,, and 182 inquirers. There were 6 baptisms this year A very special event this year has been the purchase of mission property in Multan ; tbis was made possible by the gift of $ 2,500 for the purpose by a good friend in America. W e have spent Rs. 5,000. in purchasing and putting in order the property aud have Rs. 2,500 left as a -sort'o f endowment to help support the pastor. We -have about the best location in the station for our purpose, a g o o d sized com pound, neat little chapel, iihd a good pastor’ s house. W e were paying Rs. 20 a month fo r that purpose previously,, so this donation is a very substantial help to our work.

Panipat is oh the railway between Am bala and Dehli, 255 miles fro'm Lahore, and 55 from Delhi. It is one o f tbe famous places o f ;Tndia, as the fate of the empire has three times bean decided there in battle. W c have six workers here who are caring jfor 830 Christians, Itving.in .31 villages, and 30riinquirers. During this year there have been i!5 baptisms, , '

: \ Patiala is ihe capital city of the leading Native State in the Pun­jab . It.is, 186 mileOo^^to o f Lahore. It was one of the firstplaces occupied by us for native work in, the Punjab, and the origi­nal circuit has been divided into four circuits. We now have 7 workers in the circuit, who are caring io r ^658 converts, living in 48 villages, and about 100 inquirers. 6 were baptized this year.

.itm wlnd 'C ircuit is in the southern part o f tbe Lahore aiJ®. It leads nin ths number o f baptisms this year, reporting 437. There are *J workers who,minister to 2, IGd Christians, living in 52 villages, and to 500 inquirers.

PUNJAB DISTRICT. 93

Sowpat, on the line from Am bala bo Delhi. *283 miles from Lahore and ‘¿7 from Delhi, is the last, but not the least, to be mentioned. W e have here five workers, ministering to 1,508 Christians, living in 45 villages. There have been 226 baptisms this year, quite a good many o f wbom were chamars.

If this report does not speak for itself, the superintendent is helpless. Unfortunately we have no one on tbe district able to so represent it as to get money to do the work that lies to h in d to be done W hile in America the writer displayed to good advantage his inability as a special pleader. Others usually seemed to have got in ahead of him. Y et he must say this, that in all his experience G od has in some way or other found him the money for the work that seemingly bad to be done, so be stiil trusts in that same unfailing source!” In his absence the district has run into debt $ 1,000 on cur­rent work ; and the first work to be done is to cut down expenses $ 8 J a month, to kelep the debt from getting bigger. But “ he who has led will lead ,” and we are persuaded that there will be no lack to those trusting in Him. W e need 3* more scholarships for our students, and support for 100 more preachers. W e are expecting the W om an ’s Foreign Missionary Society to take hold o f their end o f the work, and send to Lahore one o f their missionaries, together with the money to build a G ir s ’ school. The Finance Committe o f The W . F M S. reqiiisted Miss Greene during her com ing furough in Am erica to c o l­lect money fo r this purpose. W e trust all interested in the salvation o f the P anjab will lend her their aid.

04 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORTS.

Roorkee District.Rev. Jamies Lyon, District Superintendent.

Ro o r k e e District is situated between the two great rivers, the Ganges and «the Jumna, and is bounded on the north by Himalaya mountains and on the south by Meerut District. W e have a Christ­ian community now numbering 13,043, and have divided the work into ten circuits, g iv ing to each minister a Christian community o f 1,000 and upwards. Our working force consists of ten ordained ministers, three of whom are members of the Annual Conference, 20 loca l preach­ers, 40 exhorters and 60 other workers. The district approximately is In0 miles long and 40 broad W ithin this territory we have a population of H m illions, 600,00) o f whom belong to the depressed classes, the m ajority are chamars, and the great m ajority also o f our Christian community belong to this class. Curing the year just c los ­ed 2,389 have been baptized and brought into the outward v isib le fo ld of Christ. Our work, however, is not wholly confined to the depressed classes ; in addition to the converts from these we are also receiving a good ly number from the higher castes.

R e v i v a l S e r v i c e s .

During the year we have been very busy with revival services, in particular, during the first few months o f the year. In the various centres of the ten circuits 412 meetings were held and 1,133 converts received by Christian baptism. In addition to the above-mentioned services we a lso held mid-summer revival services during tbe month o f July at our head station Roorkee. Our workers all came in, and we together waited upon G od day by day fo r a week, during which time we all experienced rich times o f refreshing from the presence o f God. Our workers in many o f the distant villages are isolated and completely environed by heathenism which has a most deadening

effect upon them. The revival services, therefore, form a mighty po wer through the H oly Spirit to lift up and deliver the workers from its awful effects. W e had also times o f great blessing at our District Conference through the lov ing and able ministrations o f the Rev Cundu Mull during the last week in October Previous to his coming, meetings were held fo r prayer and G od gave us the assurance of abundance o f rain, and we were not disappointed W e had a very lu ll attendance, and many were refilled with tbe H oly Spirit and many were born again. Many bore simple direct testimony to being bap­tized with the Spirit, and many to the fact o f tbe experience o ft tbe new birth, Alany, before they entered into resb and were filled, » a $ e fu ll confessions o f sin in their hearts and in their lives, and G od brought them low and through the power o f the Spirit raised them up. The effect o f the revival services on tbe work in general cannot be estimated.

O u r Bib l e T r a in i n g S c h o o l .W e have in our Bible Training School ten men, seven womenj

with six children all from the villages, new converts. Some o f them from the chamars, some from the sweepers o f scavengers, and one from the higher castes. They are learning to read and write their own language, and will be ready to take their places as pastor-teach- era in the course o f one or two months, and through these people we expect G od to do great things. They are well acquainted with their own people, with all the false ideas and false gods and goddesses, and are successful in bringing hundreds o f them to Jesus. These are rough workers, but they are true, and Christ choses the weak things to confound thè mighty, and.with the touch o f divine fire in their hearts they are pulling down many a stronghold o f sin and Satan, and reaching their people where more highly educated workers have completely failed.

O u r B o y s * B o a r d in g S c h o o l .

Last year we reported that we had been greatly encouraged by the generous promise o f 1,000 dollars towards the new school buildings. That promise has been kept, the 1,000 dollars has been received through the Secretary o f our Board, and now we have to report still more encouragement. Another o f G od ’ s stewards has most generous­ly promised tbe balance needed for the building, namely, the 2,0i0 dollars. W e will, therefore, according to our b u il.in g plans sub­mitted and approved by tbe donors and our building committee, com ­mence to build immediately. W e feel greatly encouraged by the generosity o f the L o rd ’ s people towards this great enterprise

Ou r E n g l is h W o r k

W e are holding on to our English W ork in Roorkee, and pushing it as far as we are abJe, and have the jo y o f seeing conversions in this department o f our work also. The demands o f the district work upon our time and strength are great, and we cannot d o justice to this work. W e are simply holding on till re-inforcements come. W e must have a man fo r the English work and for the B oys9 Boarding Sch ool, who will at the same time study the Hindustani language.

N e w Bu i l d i n g s .

In addition to our other work we have erected during the year the first section o f our Bible Training School at a cost o f 70J dollars, consisting o f seven room s for the accommodation o f seven families. This building has been a great blessing to the students and is greatly

ROORKEE DISTRICT, 95

appreciated- W e.have also built a large addition to the R oorkee Leper Asylum for the accom m odation of twenty more ’ lepers, and' we have now in our Leper Asylum at present 60 inmates. Form erly they were going around begging, sleeping on the- wayside, spreading the awful -disease o f leprosy . Now they are eloihed, properly housed1, M d wetl provided for, and, above all, they are being led to Jesus. Every inmate o f the asylum is now a Christian. This is a work o f much trial and perhaps o f considerable danger also ; kneelrng by the bed side o f dying lepers and ministering to them, as it is dur p riv i­lege to do, is often attended with con siderab le . dariger. But in this service for Jesus there is a peculiar joy and pleasure, and we really delight to do it.

- t: - R e s u l t OF t b e y e a r ’ s w o r k .

God has been with us duricg tbe year. It has been a year o f great trial, but a year o f great blessing, and we have during the year added to our Christian compaunity 2,389 converts, ai d have now a total Christian community o f 13,043 We earnestly request the pray­er« o f all G od ’ s people-. To G od be a l l , praise for what He hath wrought 4n our midst. .The outlook is- great and inspiring, and in G od ’ s naoie we are going forward and planning great things. ^Breth­ren, pray for us.
