“...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....”

This has been done only where it was thought that they would help furnish a correct understanding of the.years wTork, or where they are not readily accessible elsewhere. Fewer 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 ...”

“...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 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...”

“...2 GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR Beta Kappa society (implying high rank in scholarship). The missionary has often, perhaps commonly, enjoyed a selective preparation. Under some 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...”

“...be. Shanghai is much less than forty-eight hours distant from Peking. On the Upper Yangtze steam is now at last reducing by some weeks the long voyage to Chungking. This is the precursor of the coming rail line to Chengtu, the far away capital of Szechwan, a line still, however, on the dim horizon. The effacement of the houseboat has been in part accom- plished, yet one may still ride in it with comfort, tugged along by the puffy, wheezing, and 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...”

“...permanent. In China it was the efficient cause of the sectional conferences held early in 1913 in six important centres, and folipwing them the National Conference in Shanghai. The comprehensive and intelligent survey of existing missionary conditions looked at from every point of view, helped to dig deep the channels along which so many spiritual streams were soon to flow. It was at the request of the Continuation Com- mittee of the Edinburgh Conference that Dr. John ft. Mott visited many of the mission fields of the world, which led to the surprising development in this Empire. Out of the conferences just mentioned grew the China Continuation Committee, perhaps the most important application of missionary experience to missionary needs that has ever been seen in China. Out of the China Continuation Committee gelXic Move- ^eeu ev0^ve(^ ^ie Forward Evangelistic ment Movement in many provinces, and a co-ordinat- ed activity in other directions as well. The meetings led by Dr. Mott, Mr. Sherwood...”

“...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 may probably be better able to canvass the gains and losses. The object of this paper is not so ambitious. We have consulted many correspondents, and all we can hope to do is to state some effects on mission work and workers up to the present writing. Even if we could know all, it might only lead to pessimism. Bishop Roots writes.: As to the effects of the war on mission work I do not see that there has been any very obvious effect on the work with which I am connected. We have not had to make any reductions in our estimates for our work thus far, although we have not made such large increases in expenditures as we have in most recent years. There have been no changes of policy due to the war, nor has any forward movement or new work been checked in any very de- finite way. I...”

“...friends in China and America responded nobly to the appeal of the China Continuation Committee in their behalf, and the sum of Mex $25,414.21 has during the past year, in addition to Mex. $28,933.52 the year preceding, been carefully disbursed to the most' necessitous cases. This action has done something to ameliorate the bad effects of the war on these missions. Conditions in Before giving details it is well to recall the X9X5 state of the missions and 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...”
