“...PREFACE IN Spite of civil war, flood, plague, famine and a world war, the Christian missionary work in China has continued and increased. This is the reason for another issue of the China Mission Year Book. The Book aims to give some description of the background of the missionary effort, and therefore the articles on the political and economical development of the country have a place. Moreover, the facts described in these articles are also a help or hindrance to the progress of the missionary work. So also it was necessary that the Book should this year contain chapters on the great floods in North China and 011 the plague epidemic. Each year it is planned that the Book shall contain one section which will be the distinctive feature of that issue. This year Part II is noteworthy as describing recent developments in ecclesiastical organization. Special mention might also be made of Part IV, which is a summary of the present situation as regards Christian Literature in China, and an indication...”

“...iv The China Continuation Committee is responsible for the China Mission Year Book only in that it appoints the Editorial Committee and the Editor. When articles in the boolc arc the expression of the policies or the views of the China Continuation Committee, this fact is made clear; in all other cases, the ivriter of the paper is alone respon- sible for the opinion expressed. To all the forty-two writers of these chapters, the editors would express their genuine appreciation of all their work. Many of these chapters contain the results of much research, and some of them of years of careful observation. It is the hearty cooperation of many busy workers that makes possible the publication of the Year Book. It would be invidious to mention a few where all have given of their best. Special acknowledgment, however, is due to the Rev. C. L. Boynton, who, as in previous years, has read all the proofs and is responsible for the typographical appearance of the book, as well as for-the statistical...”

“...northern general, Wu, some two hundred Ilunanese rascals looted the best shops in the city. The city ot Pingkiang suffered terribly. The entry into the city of the northern soldiers was signalized by the immediate outbreak of utmost violence on the defenceless unoffending citizens. For the traditional 44 three days, the whole place was. handed over to the soldiers to do what they listed. Every house in the city except three foreign houses and the foreign-built hospital of the Wesley an Methodist Mission was utterly looted from door to door. The homes of Catholic priests, the rented house of one Methodist minister, the chapels and other buildings of the two churches, were treated just as were the homes of rich and poor alike. The ^lightest resistance met with instant shooting. The soldiers...”

“...northern victors, re-entered Chuchow, a little town of no importance, they wiped it out. Not a house was left unburnt, not a man, woman or child who had failed to flee was left alive. And so it happened to Liling as the follow- ing account will show. After the northerners re-entered, it was treated the same way as Chuchow had been treated. The railway station and two of the foreign houses of the United Evangelical Mission were burnt. One of the missionaries was shot at his own door by a soldier standing in the compound. Every one was taken away from the city compound of the mission to the hospital compound which is on a suburban hill. After considerable trouble and delay, ' A 5...”

“...and suburbs: the railway staff, foreign and Chinese, the missionaries, the hospital staff and patients; the school staff and scholars; the church membersat least such of them as had been able to take refuge in the compound. When the train drew out of Liling with its freight of close on to six hundred there were no living beings left in the city except northern soldiers together with an old woman of seventy and her natural" son who were discovered two days later hiding amidst the ruins of the mission compound. The same terrible experience befell44 Chang Lo Kai " a small town on the Milo river, where the victorious northern soldiers again wreaked their wrath on innocent and defence- less persons. The northerners crossed the river and entered the completely shut up street. The first house happened to be a Methodist chapel. Knocking at the door, they were admitted by the preacher. He at once explained that this was a chapel and showed the soldier a proclamation issued by the brigadier-general...”

“...dealing with this district, and it has been their main care ever since January, 1918. A complete survey was the first thing to be carried through, so that the relief work might be wisely done. The work itself fell into two partsone, opening and carrying on a large number of refuges and distributing vast quantities of grain; the other (of which mor$ will be said below), dyke building. The work has only been made, possible by the generous help given to the Committee by several missionaries and mission institutions. The Committee is now planning to carry on refuges and coal and grain distribution through the winter of 1918-1919. Mr. Hsiung has given a thousand tons of coal and four thousand tan of grain to help in this. More than 3500 men have been at work from this hsien on road and dyke repair, and it may be well at this point to speak of the dyke work generally. The situation as regards conservancy is DrReanaT/adM1 of interest though the necessity for collecting data has made it impossible...”

“...SYNOD OF CHUNG HWA SHENG KUNG HUI 71 the good-will of populace and authorities the purchase price was remarkably low. At a later meeting, the Synod endorsed a Missionary regulation adopted by the Executive Committee Spirit the Board of Missions, that the support of this mission work should be left entirely to the Chinese, contributions from foreigners being neither asked for nor encouraged, and no foreign workers being sent to take part. This was carried by the earnest argument and the overwhelming vote of the Chinese themselves, and the Diocese of Victoria immediately promised to raise $1,000 for the building fund. Later the Synod authorized a system of apportionment, at the general rate of thirty cents per annum for each communicant, to be divided among the dioceses according to circumstances and ability. Another interesting event in the joint Students in session was the visit of delegates from the japan congregation of Chinese students in Tokyo, Japan, who reported through their pastor...”

“...SYNOD OF THE CHUNG HWA SHENG KUNG IIUI 73 Kung Hui. The school is to be conducted under a board of directors representing all the dioceses and including all the bishops. It will, in fact, take up the work now being done at Iiankow by the Theological School of the three dioceses of the American Church Mission, and carry it on in a more extended way, the various English and Canadian dioceses furnishing, so far as they can, both members for the faculty and funds for development and maintenance. So it is hoped a really great institution will be established, which the Church in China will itself maintain from generation to generation, long after the missionary help of the foreign Church has ceased to be necessary; and that through this institution there shall be constantly sent forth a supply of clergy, thoroughly trained and fitted for the wrork of the ministry '' in their own nation. Besides this the Synod heard most inter- Re orts esting and valuable reports for the Committees s on Christian...”

As they multiplied and entered new regions, it beeame increasingly difficult, while it was also increasingly important, to keep in touch. New ex- periences and new conditions arose, but each mission had to make its experiments anew for itself, and the costly fruits were not available for others. Recent Needless to say, the China Continuation Progress Committee, has during recent years, done an immense service in bringing the various missions into touch with each other, in exploring the needs of this vast mission field, and in informing the home...”

“...PRESBYTERIAN UNION 77 It was in Amoy that this was worked out Union in Amoy as a practical principle of mission work. There were there missionaries of the American Reformed Church and of the English Presbyterian Church, working in close cooperation in the same district. As the local Church began to grow, some of its congregations were under the care of the American and some under that of the British missionaries. These were wise and Christian men, and happily it did not occur to them that the Chinese Church coming into being under their care must be divided into two churches. It is true that when in April, 1862, the governing body of the Amoy churches was formed* the American missionaries called it a "classis," while their British brethren called it a presbytery." But as both groups of missionaries and the Chinese members, when all met together, speaking Chinese as their common language, alike called it "Tai Tiong-la-hoe," no harm was done, and " nobody seemed one penny the worse."

“...thought and feeling were turning with Unity fa 1890 desire toward more realized unity, as became apparent when the next General Conference met in 1890. It was a true instinct which led it to give so much of its time and strength to unifying and improving our translations of the Bible into various forms of the Chinese language. During this Conference a meeting of Presbyterian Presbyterians was held, who gathered to the Conferences number of one hundred and twenty in the chapel of the Presbyterian Mission Press in Shanghai. The desire for union was expressed, but it was not felt that the time for action had come. Curiously enough, the "Boxer troubles" gave the next marked impulse to the movement toward Presbyterian union. These troubles led to the postponement o£ the General Conference which had been arranged to meet in April, 1901, and the opportunity was taken to call a Presbyterian Conference to meet in Shanghai on October 2 of that year.

“...PRESBYTERIAN UNION 79 2. The Conference therefore recommends the appointment of a committee to prepare a pLm of union, organic or federal as may be found practicable, and submit the same to the Church courts (native or foreign) concerned. We accordingly request the Presbyterian missions concerned to appoint delegates to act as members of this committee, as follows; viz.: (Here follows number of members allotted to each mission) . and one each from such other bodies as may be willing to take part in this union. AVe further recommend that all Presbyterian churches to be. formed in future be organized as Chinese churches, independent of the home church courts and as some of the churches already organized are in organic connection with the home churches, we recommend that their representatives bring the method of union that may be proposed by the committee before the supreme courts concerned for their sanction.
