“...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...”

“...the treatment which gives the patient immediate relief, such as dressing ulcers, which brings the greatest credit to the physician. It is expected that medicine will produce immediate and miraculous effect and when this expectation is dis- appointed the native often discontinues his application for treatment. Mr. Worthington regards the medical work as of the first importance and pleads for a hospital and a doctor as the most ef- fective means of winning the people and thus establishing the mission. Rev.

“...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 has...”

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.

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. Down in Wenchow and Ningpo, of course, you meet a different...”

“...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.

“...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. Stedeford, 202 Gravelly Hill, Birmingham ; John Moore, 30 Coppice Road, Nottingham.” Then follows a glorious list of pro- mises amounting to £8,753, £1,845 which had been paid in.

“...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...”

“... 6s. (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...”

“...evident that the Spirit of God moved powerfully upon the assembly and that all alike were conscious of being directed by Him who abides in the Church as her per- petual Guide and Teacher.

“...Facts from Yunnan Tent Mission In connection with the in Chn Chia, local fair, Rev. G. P. Littlewood held a remark- able five days’ tent mission at Chu Chia. The local authorities reared a mat shed capable of accommodating 800 people and invited the missionary to preach. So for five days there was almost con- tinuous preaching, and at night the lan- tern was displayed. Mr. Littlewood calculates that thus he had 10,000 hearers.
