“...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.

“...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.

“...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...”

“...are moving, and the lost ones are being gathered' in.” The Late JAMES CHALMERS. “We have given the Orient warships and telephones, steam-cars and sewing- machines, silk hats and cigarettes, but except the old man be changed within, all these adventitious trappings will make Orientals more potent forces for evil.” Prize Offer.

“...(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...”

“...he could not forget it, for he had never been treated so by a stranger. He talked about it to his feUow tribesmen and together they came to the con- elusion that the missionary must be pos- sessed of some wonderful knowledge and power, something of which they knew not. They determined to find out the truth, so one day 50 of these men walked many miles to visit a C.I.M. Mission station and asked to be taught the Truth. The missionary in charge was already overburdened with work, and advised them to go to the Chao Tong Mission. Acting on his advice a number of their chief men paid a sur- prise visit to our Chao Tong Mission, and were heartily welcomed by Mr. Pol- lard and party. And so began a mighty work which is still growing. Have we no blessing which we may share with Africa and China’s sons and daughters ?

“...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.

“...opinion, throughout the civilized world, as to the need, the utility, and the value of missions. The only criticism there has been, or is, relates to the methods of mission work. Lafcadio Hearn, who lived in Japan for several years, and was a tutor at the University, said that the methods of missionaries in China and Japan to destroy ancestor worship would weaken the worshipping instinct of the soul, and do much harm. In this he was entirely wrong; and certainly no such statement could be made to-day. Missionaries are turning all that is true and beautiful in Budd- hism and Confucianism to good spiritual account, and are leading the people through the defects of these systems to the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin in the world. The modern question, as to whether the Pauline methods of propaganda are better suited to mission work than present methods, is interest- ing, and worth considering, but it does not arise from any sense of failure. These are the most glorious days in the history...”

Bazaars and exhibitions on May 21st, 22nd, 23rd, the churches divided into three groups responsible for the three openings and the three stalls. Three missionary courts, repre- senting the work in China, in Africa, and Medical Missions. The President had a favourite theme and gave a thoughtful and stirring ad- dress. He reviewed our missionary heritage and spoke of consequent responsibilities. Methodism, he de- dared, was a prime cause of the mis- sionary revival. The message of Methodism was and is, “ God loves every man and lives in every man.” A church with such a message must be a mission- ary church. Eloquently, tenderly, con- vincingly, Mr. Redfern pleaded for a vision of Christ’s pity for man. We shall get our ;£150—and more!...”

“...the brothers have been placed in our Walham Grove Church. 4. The Rev. W. R. Fuller went out from London 4th, now known as Ber- mondsey. He went to Ningpo, China, in 1864. He laboured there seven years, and eventually retired from the ministry. 5. The Rev. Frederick Galpin also went from London 4th. He was born in Bermondsey in 1843, and went to China in 1868. He laboured there faith- fully for thirty years, being instrumental in helping to lay the foundation of our successful mission work in China. He was to China what Mr. Wakefield was to East Africa, and the Rev. W. Griffith to Jamaica. It was at this time that Mr. Galpin lost his devoted wife. He re- turned to England in 1877, where he was warmly welcomed, but again arrived in China in 1879, accompanied by a lady whom he had married, and who pos- sessed every qualification for a mission- ary’s wife. Soon after his arrival a mis-' sion was opened at Wenchow. Mr. Galpin returned to England for good in 1897, was president of the U.M.F.C. in...”

To-day we have come in from the Kopu, and they tell us that the people are coming, not in hundreds but in thousands, yet you at home are so debt- ridden that you cannot help us.” The words in italics are ours. We cannot imagine any one who is not moved by such words as these from West China. Mr. Griffiths reports himself safely at Mazeras. He arrived about Christmas. He had a fine passage, but started his voyage with a bad cold, and did not get rid" of it easily. Mr. Bassett and many of the people met him. He was looking for the appearance of Miss Mackee, the future wife of Mr. Worthington.

“...bedroom by a board partition, are Zammy, a pig, and Mr. Wang’s mule. During the night, to judge by the bang- ing, snorting, grunting, and thumping which went on, something special was going on there. After lying awake for a few hours, listening to the hubbub, we came to the conclusion that the mule was giving Zammy and the pig a course of lessons in jiu-jitsu. On Sunday four receive baptism, and afterwards at the Lord’s supper, there were fourteen present, seven being mem- bers of the China Inland Mission and seven members of the United Methodist Church. Monday morning sees us on the move again. Wonder of wonders, the sun breaks through and immediately every- thing begins to look more cheerful. At our resting place for Monday evening there is as yet no church, but there is one home where we are always wel- come. In the evening a party of about twenty gathers together for a service. As usual, a fire is lit in the centre of the room which turns the room into one big chimney. For fuel there...”
