“...the contents of the China Mission Year Book for ]914. The number of topics to be handled is not likely to diminish, and the tendency of the book to become over-grown and unwieldy has all along been steadily resisted. In any event it was never intended to treat of every topic every year. Of course some subjects of outstanding importance and perennial interest must always find a place, but other subjects are to be found scattered over the previous Year Books where they can be looked up by those who wish. The following among other topics were described in the Year Book of 1913 and are omitted in this volume: Christian Endeavour. The Door of Hope. School for the deaf at Chefco The Tsinanfu Institute of the B.M.S. The International Institute. Work among Foreigners in China. Work of the Y.W.C.A. Leading Colleges of China. We have been compelled to reluctantly omit the follow- ing articles, and also some of the usual appendices from lack of space. They may be used next year. Our apologies are due...”

“...it more complete, and also to classify the returns according to the Report of the Committee on Missionary Statistics to the Edinburgh Continuation Committee at its meeting at The Hague, November, 1913. (See Notes on Statistics, following the Directory). Many thanks are due to the Secretary of the China Continuation Committee for very valuable suggestions in regard to the arrangement and classification of these Statistics and also for the instructive diagrams based on these figures. It is hoped that this may serve as the beginning of more uniformity and accuracy in Mission Statistical Returns. Some articles of the present Year Book have been with our permission reprinted elsewhere. The Year Book is glad to extend the circulation of such material by giving authors this privilege. D.

“...CHAPTER IV POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE REPUBLIC By Professor Bevan, Peking University The companion chapter of the China Mission Year Book for 1913 closed with the sentence, "This question which raises the extremely difficult and delicate matters of National and State rights, and the equally important question of the relation between the executive and the legislature are the two great constitutional problems that will be before the new parliament." The first of these matters is slowly working itself out. A strong central government with power to control the different parts of the nation seems to be imperative, if China is to be strong enough to present a real front to foreign nations. Though little progress has been made, indications are not .wanting that the Peking author- ities are moving steadily in this direction; even the opinion of the late parliament was distinctly against the introduc- tion of any federal principle, though it was not able to declare itself authoritatively as to...”

“...that anyone desirous of inquiring about Christianity may write directly to the Rev. Nyi Liang-p'ing, who has been placed in charge of the institute. Vigorous work is carried on in the Hangchow River district by the Chinese C. M. S., who are pushing to the extreme western boundary of the province. About 70 members of the China Inland Mission in the neighbourhood have, with the consent of that mission, joined the Chinese C. M. S. What Impressed a Buddhist:Mr. Fu is a fairly wealthy and a well educated gentleman, who had inquired into most religions, and inclined chiefly to Buddhism. One day I preached on the Incarnation and the absolute necessity for it. The Chinese in their Book of Odes have the idea of God descending 011 man. Mr. Fu was much impressed with the difference in the Christian thought that not only did God take of man's nature, but that He also wishes us to be partakers of the divine nature and to dwell in us. Mr. Fu traces his conversion to that date....”

The replies to this questionnaire were made the basis of a report on the Sunday School Movement in the Far East, by the Secretary, Mr. Frank L. Brown. Based also on this report, a Committee was appointed at Zurich to place before the Secretaries of the several Mission Boards certain of the suggestions made by the various Commissions. * Summary in Year Book of 1913....”

Hermann of the Rhenish Mission, the author o? he Chinesische Geschichte " (Stuttgart 1912, Verlag von. j-undert), with its scientific arrangement of historical resea-^iss, especially of China's modern history, its clear sharp diction and the remarkable gift of the writer to awaken the reader's keenest interest in the study of past events has with great accuracy given a survey of the work of German Missions in China from its beginnings. A most interesting though not new light is thrown on these beginnings of German Missions in book, may here be mentioned again: We may say that Giitzlaff...”

“...382 GEE MAN MISSIONS IN CHINA. 4. The Kielet China Mission The K.C.M. founded in 1896 in Kiel by Pastor J. Witt, sent its first workers to China in connection with the China Inland Mission in 1898. They found their held in Kiangsi. In 1899 a separation took place between the branch of the C.I.M., which had been directed from Hamburg and which now represents the Liebenzeller Mission and the Kieler China Mission which settled in Pakhoi (IfrM)- In 1900 the work began in Pakhoi, and during the first year a chapel was opened and several Chinese were baptized. Since then the K.C.M., has done regular itinerating and preaching work in Pakhoi and the surrounding villages and hamlets. Through many storms and perils which threatened to destroy the work, by the Lord's grace and patience a permanent increase and success has been won. The Mission work began with 4 missionaries and one lady worker. At present there are only one missionary with his wife and 2 single ladies on the field. The K.C.M. has...”

“...the most part, probably, in the "China for the Chinese spirit that at that time filled the air. Be that as it may, there are many thoughtful men in the Province who see in the movement promise of Christian usefulness if wisely directed. It has had the support of the Military Governor, H.E. Yen, who contributes the sum of $44 monthly toward the expenses of the enterprise. He has also been instrumental in providing a home for the Church in one of the best temples of the city. For several months this independent Church has had the benefit of the labors- and counsel of a self-supporting Swedish missionary, Mr. E. Pilquist. In so far as it represents a genuine desire to be financially independent and to do a work that might not otherwise be done, the movement seems to be a worthy one. It is, at any rate, the most serious attempt toward independence that has yet been made in Shansi. (In this connection an erroneous statement on page 103 of the 1910 Year Book " should be corrected. No converts...”

“...CHAPTER XXVI SCANDINAVIAN MISSIONS IN CHINA By Professor Christian Stokstad, Fancheng, Hupeh Following the precedent set in the Year Book of 1911, we include several American missions in the chapter. These are American by virtue of the fact that the mission boards and the home constituencies are in the United States, whence the funds also come. They are Scandinavian only in the sense that they are maintained by men and women having Viking ancestry, and in that the older of them were established as a result of mission interest communicated from the Scandinavian countries. The missions will here be grouped separately, viz; tlie Scandinavian group and the Scandinavian American group. An attempt has been made to include all the missions working in China and its dependencies. It is, however, possible that some have been omitted. The sixteen missions here to be mentioned are located in nine of China's provinces, ten of them in the three central Provinces, Hunan, ITupeh and Honan, and three in...”

“...gone by seem to have done their work, and with effect, but are no longer to be retained on the catalogue. Efforts are being made to meet the new conditions in China by the preparation of books on living questions which press irresistibly 011 the minds of Christians and non- Christians. Reference to our list of new publications will show what has been recently done in this line. The China Mission Year Book has had an extensive sale this year again, over 1,000 copies having been sold. The work on the Bible Dictionary is making steady progress, and it is hoped to issue the same in the autumn of 1915. It is a stupendous task, but the assistance of capable men and women among the missionaries is a cheering fact to the editors. The staff remains the same as last year, but the Rev. E. Morgan has been absent on furlough throughout the year, which has added considerably to the burdens of the remain- ing members. More Anglo-Chinese translators have been engaged, but we are still waiting for the Chinese...”

II. Composition of the Committee By its constitution, as originally adopted, the Com- mittee was composed of not less than forty nor more than sixty members, of whom not less than one-third must be Chinese. Fifty-one members were appointed by the con- ference, and it was left to the Continuation Committee itself to fill the vacancies, after a careful study of its personnel, in order to see that the different nationalities, ecclesiastical families and departments of Mission work were adequately represented. During the year the number of members...”

“...Terms reported that it had been decided to issue during the fall of this year the first of a series of Year Books in Chinese, to meet the same need for the Chinese Christians that the China Mission Year Book now fills in Missionary circles. An attempt will be made to include in this book, in place of the list of missionaries, the names of all ordained Chinese pastors, and as far as possible also of Christian teachers in higher educational institutions. The Continuation Committee appointed, as a result of recommendations made by the Special Committee on Train- ing and Efficiency of Missionaries, a Special Commission consisting of Messrs. Pettus, Bailer and Rawlinson to visit during the coming fall or winter the language schools thus far opened in China, "to study the aims and methods of every institution and to draw up a report of their investiga- tions, to be submitted with recommendations to this Special Committee." The Committee also called attention to the fact that there is danger at the...”

“...NOTES ON STATISTICS In order to secure as complete statistics as possible of the work of Protestant Missions in China for the China Mission Year Book of 1914, blank forms were sent to each Missionary Society on the field, or, in the case of the larger Societies, to a member in each District or Mission of those Societies. After the majority-of these had been filled in and returned, and when the final classification for publication was about to be made, a copy of the Report of the Committee on Missionary Statistics submitted to the Edinburgh Con- tinuation Committee at its meeting at the Hague, November, 1913, was received. As the China Continuation Committee has recommended the adoption of this Report as the basis of all future classification of statistical returns for Mission work in China, an endeavour has been made to embody the results received according to the classification on the forms sent out, in a Table whose nomenclature and classification shall correspond as nearly as possible...”
