“...Missionary Leaflet for 1914. ®he ?United Alethodist ffihtirch HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS. “ GIVE YE THEM TO EAT.” Dear Friends, Thousands of hungering souls surround our Mission stations and look to us for the Bread of Life. Some stretch out their hands in eager entreaty, but an inadequate income prevents our supplying their need. Will you help to feed this multitude? In China we maintain 574 Chapels and Preaching Places with 40,000 in regular attendance, five Hospitals where last year 43,000 sufferers received medical aid and at the same time heard the Gospel News, two Colleges with 270 students, and H0 Elementary Schools where Christian education is given to 3,089 boys and girls. In East Africa we support 14 Churches and 14 Sunday and Weekday Schools with 577 scholars. In West Africa we have 21 Churches and 15 Elementary Day Schools with 878 boys and girls. 32 Missionaries, 19 Ordained Pastors, 106 Native Ministers, 98 Catechists, and 14 Bible Women are wholly engaged in this work.

“...Foreign Secretary’s Notes of our Missionary debts. At the same time we must realize that the result can- not be gained without each church rais- ing its proper portion. We must act upon the Cornish motto “ One and all.” The outlook in our foreign work was never brighter than it is to-day. If peace and progress are maintained in China, as we have good reason to ex- pect they will be under the more settled government, and the present spirit of enquiry spreads, we may look for great ingatherings. The First Six Months in Mern. I gather from a re- cent letter from Mr. Worthington some in- teresting facts and inci- dents relating to the work of the first six months in Meru. He says:— “ From the beginning of May we have held a service every Sunday morning. At the beginning it was well attended, •our congregation averaging about 50 in number. But latterly the attendance has dwindled, though there are one or two that we count as our regulars. This is the experience of others beside -ourselves when...”

“...the growing hope before us. And another word of ap- peal! Our position is indicated by a parable of the country. East Africa is a wonderful land of immense untouched resources, but short of fuel. Send us the fuel, and I feel sure that from our far-off land we shall be able to send back the glad message to put life and spirit into the tired workers at home. The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light.” Personalia. brothers J. Hinds and F. B. 1 urner report their safe arrival in North China' after a fairly comfortable journey. Both׳ express their peculiar pleasure in finding them- selves once more amid missionary scenes and service. Mr. Turner asks me to Mpdical Work Mr' Worthington has . Mo*n proved the brief course of a eiu' medical instruction he re- ceived at Livingstone College most valuable. Indeed his medical skill is the chief attraction which brings the people to him. From the beginning there has been no lack of applicants for medicine, and it is well within the num- ber...”

How to cut these cords we did not know: how to set free these people whom Christ died to save was the great problem. God has many ways of working and all of them admirable. Here in one part of our field He chose a downtrod- den, ignorant race of people to bite away the nets of pre- judice, the cords of fear. These Chinese about h e re have watched the Miao closely and at last some have resolved to follow their example.

“...thieves or worse, and prob- ably some of them are still what they ought not to be. The chief man was a terror. Over them all we rejoice with trembling. To make these men into fine Christians means hard work and muoh patience for Jesus. We believe He will not shirk it. There are no men too bad for Him to save. There are several more chapels being built—some of them very fine. The cost to the Society will be almost nil. I think I am correct in saying that seventy chapels have been built in our West China Mission, and the cost to the home funds has not aver- aged five pounds a chapel. Every- body will agree that we deserve the fullest sympathy of the friends at home. After Mr. Dymond had given his opening address a tall strong Chinaman whose record has been a black one got up and said, “ I am a sinner and there- fore have no right to speak, but I re- member we are all sinners and as a sinner I speak to you sinners.” The Son of Man came not to call righteous, but sinners to repentance. He at any...”

I’ve never seen congrega- tions in China such as you get in that Chaotong Church—the work is worthy of a' much better building.* * And I know Tongchuan also, five days south. Surely no more beautiful mission station in all China than Tongchuan!—where, as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Evans; after they had nursed me back to life on mountains three days away, I lived for *They are to have it.

But of West China enough—with this remark only: that of all the mission work I have seen in many parts of China, I have seen none more truly prosperous than that carried on by that small band of missionaries whom I remember with gratitude...”

“...quainted with hospitals in Shanghai, Hanking, Hankow, Wuchang, Ichang, Hanyang, Chunking, Suifu and other places in China. Some of these are perhaps better supplied with general equipment and are in a better state of repair—I mean, that the paint may be newer and all that sort of thing; some are bigger, too. But I have never been into a hospital in China which gave one so much of the feeling that he was in a hospital. It’s a grand work. No praise of mine would be too great. Dr. Plummer has made a work here that will go on and continue to be a blessing to a vast number of people who will turn round and call him blessed. And perhaps it was a little bit more of a romance because at the time my wife was responsible for the mission medical work in the absence of Dr. Plummer. I did not see any of the evangelical work, for which I was sorry. But what I did see of the whole south-east China field impelled me to write you these hur- ried lines to encourage workers at home to go on jointly in well-doing...”

“...wonderful how soon the ingathering has come in that, till recently, degraded and heathen land. All who read this book should have their interest deepened in our own Meru Mis- sion, and should be led to pray daily and earnestly for our brethren there. “Everlasting. Pearl, one of China's Women." By Anna M. Johann- sen, for sixteen years a missionary in China. (C.I.M. and Morgan and Scott; is. 6d. net.) A story of missionary work in one of rhe Central Provinces of China. The conversion of “ Everlasting Pearl ” is taken as a typical case. In a graceful way the story touches such questions as foot-binding, marriage, persecution— and shows how the women of China suffer. It follows Mrs. Lu through her life’s journey for nearly fifty years, and we rejoice that her earthly ministry is not closed, but that she “ is still seek- ing jewels for her Master.” A readable, suggestive, and instructive book....”

“...T1?e Cry of tbc Cbactcpg Cljildreij. By the Rev. F• J. DYMOND. GVEN in China the tables turn and riches do not continue long in the same family. The grandson of a Governor of this Great Province is the subject of this sketch. Without cloth- ing, a tiny beggar of seven summers! who׳ would connect him with a Gover- nor? Yet such is the case. A char- woman in our employ spoke to Mrs. Dymond of his sad condition, he used to be lying in the street as she came to her work in the morning. Brought to our house my wife learned that his mother was dead, his father had left the neighbourhood entrusting the child to an uncle who sent him to the streets to steal and beg as best he could. Young “ Ready ” (as my wife calls him) used on occasion to take what he gathered to some fortune-teller who would give him a few cash with which he could buy sweets. For doing so he was thrashed by his guardian; who. finding such punishment ineffective, determined to resort to sterner measures, and this led to his coming...”

“...The Cry of the Chaotong Children Giles’s book on China one is as- founded at certain statements there- in. Can it be that there are two Chinese? Infanticide is fearfully com- mon all around us; girls are thrown away to our certain and frequent know- ledge. Have you ever heard of sewing the limbs of a person together with coarse string ? Such was the cruel punishment inflicted upon a slave girl by four women in this heathen city. For some misde- meanour or other the lower parts were sewn up: she was sent on the streets to buy oil, when the oilman noticed blood- marks and asked the poor thing what was the matter. Learning the slave- girl’s story he immediately reported the matter to the police with the result that the four women were arrested and a severe punishment meted out. The people of Chaot’ong wonder that any notice was taken as she was only a slave-girl. But what of those things of which we never hear ? Poverty, sinfulness, cruelty, are very prevalent all around us. No people are...”

“...The former is indeed a marvellous story. In a fore- word Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman says, “ In almost every city of Australia we find the fruit of Mr. Morton’s labours.” Every possible detail of Home Mission work is dealt with most thoroughly, and will be helpful to British readers. We naturally turn to “the Missionary work,” the story of which occupies about 53 PP• of the 317. Men and women are deliberately trained for foreign work, the plans are interdenomina- tional, and they mission Africa and China. So as the writer deftly quotes, in his preface, “Thoughts are expressed, not deftly spun From loom of loyal heart or busy brain : But gathered in the haunts of thoughtful men That I may test their worth and pass them on : Thoughts neither theirs nor mine, but gifts of God; Let all the glory be to Him alone.” "Missionary Principles?'

“...Kingdom into the hearts and lives of our Sisters in China and Africa. The enormous Missionary Debt has seemed to cripple and crush our efforts at every turn, and however hard we have worked we have ,net apparently made much progress, in our own par- ticular work. We have been “cast down ” in soul, and yet God’s wonderful work has been going on all the time, in His own way. Over thirteen years ago, in China, thousands of her people were cruelly prit to death for their faith- fulness to the “Jesus” religion: to-day she asks for the prayers of the “ Jesus ” followers all over the world. This an- cient and resourceful country realizes that if she is to be the great and powerful nation that she may be, her daughters, as well as her sons must be educated. So she has established her board of education: schools and col- leges are being built and (a most sig- nificant fact this) Christian teachers are to have the preference; for, above all else, China realizes that it is Chris- tianity that makes a...”

“...The Work of Our Women’s Auxiliary and His will is being done, in China, in Africa, even as it is in Heaven. “ Lord, teach us each to take some share In answering our daily prayer Thy Kingdom come.” May this be our prayer for this year, the year which is to see us free from debt. Mrs. KNIGHT. A happy New Year to you dear readers. I am so glad that there are 2,500 more of you now than a year ago, and hope you will help us to the very limit of your powers. Jesus said, “ Go ye into all the world and preach” It is an imperative command to go yourself or send an equal. There are many ways of helping Jesus to save the world. The story of the beginning of what is termed the Miao movement illustrates what may be done in other places, if we have the right spirit. A missionary, while on a journey in that land of mists and moun- tains rested by the wayside, in order that he might partake of his lunch. (I do not know if it was “bread and sun- shine ”). He observed a Miao tribes- man near by who was...”

“...Wenchow Marriage been united in holy matrimony. This has not always been a matter of choice, but of necessity, though involving 11,000 miles of sea-journey. This mar- riage had another distinctive mark so far as our South-Eastern China Mission is concerned. It was the first union of two active and fully recognized mis- sionaries of our churches. The W.M.A. have every reason to feel proud of their choice of Miss Holt as an Educational Missionary. In lan- guage-study she has excelled. As a teacher and organizer she has had great success, five of her pupils having passed the Government examination with credit, and obtained pupil teachers’ certificates during the present year. The Rev. Tom M. Gauge has also rung true in the tests which challenge the missionary in his early years. The difficulties of the Wenchow dialect have had no terrors for him. He has sue- ceeded beyond the average in obtain- ing a working knowledge of both Chinese character and colloquial. When left in charge of our Wenc'how...”

Mr. Bassett says: “ It must have been a sight that gave pleasure to the Great Head of the Church to see Anglican and Baptist, Presbyterian and Seventh Day Adventist, Methodist, ■Quaker and Lutheran, all of one heart and mind.
