“...PREFACE THE Missionary body in China and students of missions abroad are under a debt of gratitude to the Christian Literature Society for the annual publication since 1910, of editions of the China Mission Year Book. That Society freely offered its services for this purpose at a time when there was no other organ in existence to bring out such a book. Since one of the main functions of the China Continuation Committee is to study the development of the Christian Move- ment in China, the Christian Literature Society, in January of this year, requested it to assume full editorial responsibility for the series in the future, and the Committee agreed to do so. The Christian Literature Society continues to act as the publisher and in the event of the China Continuation Committee ceasing at any future date to edit the book, all right in the serieswill revert to the publisher. The responsibility for the general character of the book rests with the Editor and with the Editorial Committee....”

“...reports of the Special Committees of the China Continuation Committee are given than last year, as all these reports are printed in full in the Proceedings of the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Committee and have been widely circulated amongst missionaries in China, and the Secretaries of the Mission- ary Societies in Europe and America.* The policy of previous issues has been followed in not attempt- ing to report on the w7ork of the missions of the Roman Catholic and Greek Churches, beyond merely giving the statistics of the work of the Roman Catholic Missions, which are available in printed form. Those who desire fuller information regarding the present work of the Roman Catholic Church in China are referred to a book which has recently been published in French by the Imprimerie des Lazaristes in Peking. The title of the book is Le Christi anisine de Chine et du Japon and is the first of a series of Roman Catholic Church Year Books to be published in China. Several changes have been made in...”

“...figures, the vitality of the work and healthfulness of its growth. No Church or Society is likely to understand how its own work is developing, nor to adopt and follow, during a period of years, a wise and consistent policy, with- out a careful study of the numerical growth of its several depart- ments. The figures given at the back of the book have been kindly furnished by the missions in China. If studied along with the histories of these societies the statistics and charts will raise many questions, the correct answers to which are of the utmost importance to the progress of the Kingdom of God in China. The Editor desires to express his thanks to all those who have assisted in making this book possible. The response to requests to supply articles was so cordial and general as to make it evident that the value of such a yearly review of the work is being re- cognized by an increasingly large number of people. His special thanks are due to the writers of the articles which appear in Part...”

“...PART I GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR CHAPTER I TWO DECADES OF CHANGES IN CHINA A* H. Smith It is a gracious provision of Nature that we are able to adapt ourselves so readily to changing circumstances that after a greater or less interval we frequently find-it hard to visualize the former status. The editor of the Year Book wishes a brief presentation of the altered conditions (other than political) of the past two decades or more, in China, especially from the point of view of a missionary. It is in response to this request that the following article has been prepared. £ nzr. First, then, we are struck by the great sionaryBody increase in the size or the missionary body. At the Missionary Conference of 1890 the statistics of the preceding year showed that in all there were 1,296 missionaries. In 1913 the number had grown to 5,565, or 4.3 times as many as before. During the past three years the increase appears to have been steady. It is said that a visitor to Shanghai once inquired...”

“...boards, at least, not more than one out of twenty-five applicants reaches the field. Of these many have been active in the Young Mens Christian Associations or Young Womens Christian Associations of their institutions. Many have come from Student Volunteer Bands, and have studiedperhaps have taughtsome of the many mission study textbooks now so widely used. Some have specialized in sociological or other lines. Among them the degree of Ph.D. is too common to attract special notice. Upon reaching China these capable, earnest, and eager young people are more and more gathered in language schools, which are increasing in size and importance and meeting an evident demand. The range of study and the rapidity of acquirement by the students greatly out-distance anything possible under the old system, unless with exceptional teachers. The opportunity for acquaintance with a wide circle of workers from other missions and other fields will come to be valued more and more as years elapse. Smatf Another...”

“...sometimes unstable steam- launch. The remoter mission stations in China are still remote, and for long will be so; yet one after another they will be overtaken by the development of railways, till China has a network of them north, south, east, and west, together with many diagonals. Their economic effects upon the nation are, and in the future are yet more to be, immeasurable. This is the true Money-Shaking Tree of Chinese legend. From the ports jinrikshas have spread to the interior cities, and one may now bump more or less joyfully over the stones of such capitals as Tsinan, Paotingfu, Taiyiianfu, Kaifengfu, Wuchang, Changsha, Hangchow, and even Foochow, and also in many market-towns as well. In the larger places the rubber-tired vehicles (euphemistically termed glue-skin chiao p'i) are a great improvement on their rattling predecessors. Electric trams have been introduced into Shanghai since 1907, and also into Tientsin. In the former city the confident prophecies of riots were not...”

“...to climb upon lofty pedestals to be seen of mena new enterprise in China. The species of locust tree introduced by the Germans at Tsingtau, has made that port a forestry exhibit. The energetic activities in similar lines of the University of Nan- king, has attracted the attention and won the favour of the Central Government, as well as that of the provinces. That the ancient Spring Festival should be now also celebrated as an Arbor Day by official command, shows (in case Ihe order is obeyed) what great possibilities lie just before China. A reduction in telegraphic rates throughout China, is a welcome sign of progress. So is the general and growing use of the telephone, which even to the Chinese has become indispensable. The Chinese postal system which in 1914 handled more than 692 million articles (as compared wTith 113 million in 1906) is of increasing importance in the political, commercial, and social life of China, and its future seems certain to be even greater in proportion....”

“...TWO DECADES OF CHANGES IN CHINA 5 Currency Of currency reform we see no signs, for the Chinese Government still sits shivering on the brink, and fears to launch away, although it is now fourteen years since in the British treaty of 1902 this advance step was definitely promised. We are therefore obliged to content ourselves with the finely engraved notes of the variousGovernment Banks, displaying busts of wise old Chinese, vistas of water, city, pagoda, railway, steamer, city- wall, and ornamental portal, but each bill bearing a vicious little word in English and in Chinese which is the name of the town, city, or province where this token of value is ex- pected to circulate. This makes each bill an article of commerce, and is useful to perpetuate exchange, by which means immense sums are extracted from everybody recipro- cally, the bankers enriching themselves by the process of taking dollars out of one bag and putting them into another!
