“...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...”

“...inquired of a resident whether there were any missionaries there. The reply was given with deep feeling: The suburbs are simply infested with them. In the 1915 Year Book it was shown that there are six cities in China with more than one hundred mission- aries apiece, Shanghai leading with 358, and ten others having more than fifty each. These surprising figures show wliat an incentive and what an opportunity there is for a redistribution of our forces. If the number of workers has increased, so also have their qualifications risen. A large proportion of the present recruits are college or university men and women, of these a goodly number are decorated with the golden key of the Phi A 1...”

“...CHAPTER II EFFECT OF THE WAR ON MISSIONS IN CHINA D. MacGilflvray The Year Book of 1915 contained no papeY on this sub- ject, as it was thought to be too early to make it advisable, but the editor in the preface briefly recorded some facts and im- pressions. This paper will form an amplification and corroboration of the forecast. The European war has now been running its disastrous course for almost two years. Its material effects are increasingly evident. li Only the long years will show the far-reaching ramifications of its baleful influence and the full measure of its legacy of woe. Waste of money and material, serious as it is, is infinitely out- weighed by the destruction of the best young life of the churches. Inevitable gaps for a generation will mark all kinds of services requiring recruits. The spiritual and psychological effects of the war cannot fail to be enormous, both in Western countries and in countries where Western people are at work. Historians of the next generation...”

“...Chinese churches as revealed in the China Mission Year Book of 1915. The volume of work in all departments seemed to have suffered no diminution. The Bible Societies reported a great increase in circulation. The Eddy Campaign in twelve great cities was successfully carried out after the war broke out, and also the Fukien Province-Wide Campaign. The Honan campaign on a smaller scale was carried through in October, 1915. The China Continuation Committee has held two annual meetings since the war began and its work has gone on as usual. In fact a Statistical and a National Evangelistic Secretary have been added to the staff. The great campaign in the United States for property and equipment of the schools and colleges of China, foreshadowed by Bishop Bashford in the Year Book of 1914, p. 39, has of course been postponed. But more time is thus given to the study of co-ordination and efficiency. The Rockefeller Medical Foundation also has entered China at the very time when medical work was...”

“...declared policy. The recent decision to open the doors more widely for admission of non- Christian pupils and to formulate a definite policy with regard to country day schools indicate the present attitude toward these questions. The Chinese Church has twenty-eight congregations organized with elders and deacons. Three congregations have their own pastors and are entirely self-supporting, being subject to the control of a Chinese presbytery. The policy outlined (Ci-iina Mission Year Book, 1914, p. 365) has met with a cordial reception and sixteen evangelists have been called. Thus the first steps have been taken toward a larger measure of financial responsibility and self-support in the Chinese church. New Departures 1. Efforts to reach Educated Classes. Following on many months of preparation, an evangelistic campaign was undertaken during the autumn. Officials and gentry...”

Foreign secretaries 24, Chinese secretaries 9, total membership 4,195. Reinforcements Nothing brings greater encouragement to an organization than a large reinforcement of workers; especially is this true in such an organization as the Young Womens Christian Association, where we are having, almost daily, to definitely refuse to undertake different pieces of work because of being under-staffed. Entering only those centres where mission work is already well developed, we have not had to wait for openings, as do other agencies wdiich have entered...”

“...CHAPTER XIII EVANGELISM IN COUNTRY DISTRICTS The purpose of the Year Book is to record experience, not to advocate theories. The purpose of the articles that follow in this chapter is to exhibit some of the plans that are being used in different parts of China to bring the gospel to a district for which a mission has accepted respon- sibility. These articles are not full and adequate descrip- tions of the evangelistic work that is being done in these various districts, but they give glimpses of how some of the work is actually undertaken. The articles do not include all the plans that are successfully employed in evangelistic work in China to-day, but they are written by men in widely separated provinces, and they describe a sufficient variety of plans to be suggestive to workers in all parts of the country.

“...trade to learn in a school would be one which contributes largely to all three. The more educational it is in its processes, the more value will it have as a part of the curriculum. In the degree to which it has social value, will it benefit the com- munity; and it will be profitable financially in accordance with its economic merits. Candy-making may be profitable on the economic side, but its educational value is very slight *Eor list of orphanages with kinds of work done in each see China Mission Year Book 1910, pp. 385,387....”

“...special points of view on many subjects relating to the Chinese Church. The China Mission Year Book A good deal of work was done by the China Continuation Committee in preparing the China Mission Year Book for 1915. The statistics and maps, together with the Missionary Directory, were prepared in the offices of the Continuation Committee. More than one-fourtli of the other material of the Book was furnished by the Committee. During the year, a communication was received from the Acting General Secretary of the Christian Literature Society, Rev. W. Hopkyn Rees, D.D., recognizing the great help the China Continuation Committee had already been to the Christian Literature Society, in the preparation of the Year Book for 1915, and seeking some more definite scheme of co- operation in the future. On January 12 th a plan of co-operation, proposed by the Christian Literature Society, was approved by the Executive of the China Continuation Committee in a circular letter. The principal terms were as...”

This is frequently ignored by foreigners in the translation of hymns, though never by intelligent Chinese in the original composition of them. Generally speaking, a hymn falls short of standard excellence, if this essential be overlooked. Again, Chinese poetry, no less than Western, has its regularly recurring caesural pauses, inattention to which mars the symmetry of otherwise admirable hymn translation. *See China Mission Year Book 1915. pp. 333-6....”

“...the past year in China, making a careful study of certain aspects of mission education. Some of the results of this study are to be found in Chapter XXII of this Year Book. While here Dr. Sailer was invited to join the committee appointed by the East China Educational Association, to make a survey of the mission middle schools in this section of China, and he presented the report* of this committee at the Annual Meeting of the Association. The importance of the matter is recognized in the first of the resolutions quotedf as passed by the Continuation Committee at the instance of the chairman of the China Christian Educational Association. Such a knowledge of the situation as a survey of the present condition of Chris- tian educational work in China will provide, is necessary before any comprehensive co-ordination of forces can be seriously undertaken. It is hoped that while Dr. Gamewell is in the United States he willbe able to make arrangements for the commission to come to China. The ...”

“...statisticians are all at sea. It is the hope of the China Continuation Committee through its statistical department to bring together such facts regarding mis- sionary work in China as are capable of statistical enumera- tion; to assist the local and denominational statisticians in attaining a reasonable degree of uniformity in their records; to present such of these returns as may be of the most value in determining mission policy, or in giving encouragement and suggestion, and in preparing for those who may have occasion to use them such studies of material in hand as will enable them to employ most wisely the resources at command. In collaboration with the China Christian Educational and China Medical Missionary Associations these studies will range over the whole field of missionary endeavour. During the past year it has been necessary to gain local experience, study the schedules for securing information, correspond with statistical and mission A 67...”
