“...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.

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.

“...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 rate...”

“...The United Methodist Missions in China The man gave me no very definite in- {formation about the work, but I thought ־this fairly good eulogy of our mission- •aries as men. The time I spent at Ningpo only al- lowed me to see the College, and there- fore, I cannot give an opinion upon any other of the mission’s activities. I hap- pened to be there the day before col- lege opening in September. I was as- tonished to find that Mr. Redfern was responsible for such a big work. I know the mission colleges in some parts of China where there are four foreign masters and not so many boys as Mr. Redfern has. In short, I was convinced, in both Ningpo and Wenchow, that a grand work is being done by the two principals. Probably the best way of building up an educated church is by as- •sisting these colleges ; and I felt proud to see such fine institutions, turning out men of influence in this struggling land. Now, when I come to speak of medical work, I find it difficult to say just what I want to without...”

“...travelling in East Africa, including a fine view of a Kenia waterfall; portraits of Masai and Kikuyu warriors, groups of natives, and their dwellings; and, toward the end of the volume, pictures of Christianized people, which form a great and pleasing contrast to the earlier illustrations. After labouring for some years, chiefly as medical missionaries, among the Kikuyu, Dr. and Mrs. Crawford were asked to take up medical mission work at Embu, within sight of Mount Kenia, and the painting from which the frontis- piece is uroduced was taken from the front of the mission-house there.

“...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....”

“...its fair share in what must be done in the space of time suggested. Our motto may well be, “ What thou doest, do quickly.” We believe somehow that we shall not only raise the requisite sum, but we shall maintain or even increase our normal income. A word of exhortation may be needful. It is not intended that any of the ordinary giving shall be diverted to this special channel. This would mean landing us in another debt. Consider what London has received, and is receiving annually from the Home Mission Fund, thus supplement- ing what the London Church Extension Fund has done for Metropolitan United Methodism. Page 168 of Minutes of Conference shows that we raised last year for Foreign Missions, £791 ; for Home Missions, £517; total, £1,308. Then we turn to p. 218, and find that we re- ceived in grants £1,306. And this has been going on for many happy years. Surely our ideal for the “ most im- portant District ” in the denomination should be £2,000 per annum; so that the raising of this special...”

“...al- ready aglow this was enough to kindle the holy fire. Surely the set time to favour Zion had come. Hearts were touched and purses unloosed. Promises flowed in a steady stream. We gathered the first fruits of revival. The de- nomination is being knit together in a spirit of sacrifice. Hope is rising and joy is spreading as the grace of liber- ality abounds. God, who touched the hearts of the first donors can touch all hearts, and if they as readily respond it will not take a year to pay the Mission- ary debts; they will disappear in a month. When the noble list is read who will not be eager to have a share in this thrice-blessed effort for Christ and the world ? C.

“...to meet us, for we met many people passing along. Our porters were glad to see them, for they got their burdens shared, and some, at least, got a little refreshment, by the way, for which they were right ready. This part of the ride lasted about two hours, when suddenly leaving the forest we saw Meru, as fertile valleys set in a circle of the mountains, the Govern- ment station on its hundred-acre green, and away just at the edge of the picture the little white building of grass which was the Mission House and our home We came to it by devious ways through tracts of waving com, ready for the harvest. It was a lovely day, as different from the cold bleak heights of yesterday as another continent. And everything tended to make our coming auspicious, as I trust it may be, in the great interests we are . here to serve. Soon a fair concourse of people gathered to have a look at the new arrivals, and at the strange things the white man had brought; offering to work for us, so that, for men, we...”

“...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...”

“...(Hodder and Stough- ton.) This book is in two parts: Rescue Work in Home Lands, Missionary Work in Foreign Lands. Both are full of fact and illustration. 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?'

“...valuable features the new number contains a “Missionary Survey of 1913)” by Mr. J. H. Oldham, based on the Re- ports of Missionary Societies and or- ganizations in the mission field, on a regular examination of 250 magazines, newspapers and reviews, both general and missionary, and on personal com- munications from over 150 corres- pondents in all parts of the world. The international resources at the service of the Continuation Committee of the Edinburgh Conference have been fully utilized to make this connected literary record of a year so full of world-wide political, social, and religious signific- ance unique in value to students of mis- sions. Ministers will find in this survey a background for the missionary propa- ganda of their own denomination. The material is grouped under different countries, including all the mission fields and the Home Base in America, Great Britain and the continent of Europe; side-notes facilitate reference to the various topics, and the main published sources...”

“...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...”
