VI. REPORTS

(a) District Superintendents

Binghu District

LING GING-ANG, Superintehdeni

The general condjtion of this county is better than last year, at least in the matter of law and order. But the ,economic distress is even worse. In spite of these handica'ps we have gone right on with the Lord's work. There has been 'a ndtable come· back at Lang Leng and Sa K~, two places where for years the church was simply dead. -lJ.'wo good pastors, Bau lng Seng and Ding Cung Sing are behind tbis manifestation of life. The pas­tors at Binghu, Dio A, and Dong Huang have excelled in ~he work of training the membership to a higher level of Christian activity.' At j,Dong Ka and Chiong Tau the situation has been less encouraging though faithful work has been done. Tah Huai, with a strong young leader, has .leapt forward. With a longer period of peace and prosperity the whole district wollld revive.

Special evangelistiC and training conferences have been held in five places, where the plan followed bas been almost iden­tical with the Bishop's program for next year. Sixteen days were given to popg Huang, eightdays ~9 Chiong Tau, and six days to Dio A.,At Sa Ka we spent eight days and at Lang Leng six. fhe re~uIts have been of avery- hjgl1 "order. > Increased in­terest in the study of the Bible, practice in prayer, the stirring up of the zeal of Christians for the salvation of others, have be{n some of the outstanding fruits of the work.

The young men:fs work has swung forward. It is now organized in eight places, with 152 members, of whom two-thirds are Christians. They are enthusiastic about the clean life and social service, testifying and working in other villages. studying in night schools and teachillg others, and co-operating together in planting trees. These young men are the pioneers of the evan­gel and the hope of the future church.

There are now night schools for illiterate peasants ill seven places, and one vacation Bible school was carried on in the sum­mer. The numbers taught in these schools was 114. All were belped to learn to read, fspecially the Bible. I pray that this

R}tPOR'tS 263.

work may sprea.d ~llltH every Christian in this county can read his 0,wn Hi.hIe by his own heart\!.

The special teaching of the catechism has been one af the successful ta5ks of the year. It has done much to lead people to th~ BIble for fnller light and to make our membership spirituaIJy intelligent. 112 studied the Life of Christ catechism, and 138 the catechi::;m ill Practical Christianity_

Sixty-one families are practicing family worship in some form and working toward model Christian homes.

The Six-Year Prim.ary School atB:inghl1 center is one of the strongest agencies on the district for promoting vital religion. There are a total of 70 students, of whom thir~y-two are ~nhsted in two classes· or b~l1ds for witnessing. exh<,:>rting, and spreading the Christian truth. On Sunday afternoons many villages are visited. Pray for these boys that Ollt of their number God may raise up the leaders of the f llture.

May God bless what we have tried to do in His name.

Bingtang District Go S,ttUK';'HENG, Superintendent

The past year on H aitang has been marked by drought and banditry. Many of those in petter circumstances have been forced to leav~ or have suffered grea~ loss.

I. The E'I>angelization of t~e Family: The progre~s of the ChUl ch is tied up with that of the famIly_There are 1245 Christian families on the island. The present untoward condi­tions threaten the very existence of the family. Thanks to the untiring work o~ Miss Glassburner and later of Miss Bartlett much has been done during -the year to strengthen the Christian ~har~~t~r of .hese fam,ilies.

2. Vacation Schools: Owing to the great poverty of -the f;Iajt~ng people (he establishing·of these free schools for a few 1l1onths during the ~ummer has Leen n}uch appreciated.

Haitang and conferred with the pastors concerning the problems confronting both them and the Church. Later on, in company with Rev. Hayes and eight others from the mainland, he met with the pastors, Bible V\T oman and official members in one of the group meetings. For a week uuder the power of the Holy Spirit those present bared their sins one against the other. Old jealousies and misunderst<;tndings melted away like ice in the burning sun, so that with tears grudges were buried; hands were clasped and hearts were once more joined in a loving joyful fel­lowship.

4. Our request for the district: Haitang has long wished for a medical work as the farmer longs for rain in a time of drought. At the close of la~t conference year news came as a lightning stroke that Dr. and Mrs. Skinner were to come to the island and open a dispensary. \\1hen this word reached the ears of the Haitang people al1 Christiaris and non-Christians alike rejoiced greatly. The dispensary was opened early in the year. The number of patients to this hospital has steadily increased. We request the bishop to again appoint Dr. Skinner to head up this medical work. We also ask that :Mr. Caldwell make his home on Haitang Island. We request also that every effort be made to complete the hospital building so that when the sick come in from a distance they will not have to leave in sorrow because there is no accommodation for them.

The Lang Hua junior middle school is the only one of its grade on the island. The dean of the boy'S department for the past two years has been Mr. Ceng.H uang Ku. He is both an earnest Christian and a good administrator.

Poochow District Hu lNG-HUANG, Superintendent

I. General Conditions. The general political, economic arid social conditions on the Foochow district 'have been bad dur­ing the past year. But this very fact has given good opportuni­ties for service. The very situation has brought us more fre­quent]y to our knees in prayer and thus we have gained greater strength for the workers.

2. The withdrawal of funds by the Board of. Foreign Missions has also· been a betterment to the district. For it has thrown us more on our own resources and has helped to develop

. the indiginous resources. More than that it has helped to fur­ther the better spiritual life of the church. .; , .

Rt-PORTS 265

3. Financial Condition. Three of the churches are fully self supporting at the present time. The giving on the part of the membership has greatly increased this year in spite of the difficulties.

4. Evangelism. There have been three series of special evangelistic serVIces on the district during the past year. In the spring of the year special meetings were held at Siong-do and Sieu-liang churches. And recentiy this autumn a series of spe­cial evangelistic meetings and training conference for the mem­bership, under the plan suggested by the Bishop, has been held at Ngie-seu. At the two meetmgs in the spring there were a large number of inquirers registered, and at the fourth quarterly con­ferences a number of them were baptized and received into the church. At the Ngie-seu meeting, more than forty recorded their names as inquirers.

5. Religious Education. We have during the year con­ducted a Religious Education Training Conference for the work­ers on the district.

6. Popular Education. There have been organized and conducted twenty-two Pupular Education schools during the past year. We find that this is indeed a fruitful soLirce of new mem­bers in the church.

7. Women's Work. The \Vomen's Bible Seminary has ""..­placed about ten of its graduates in the district to carryon work among the women. These workers are building up a new life among the women on the district. They have conducted Moth-ers' lVleetings, for girl groups, Bible ciasses among the women, Family prayers in the homes, special childrens group gatherings,' family hygiene instruction, and better baby contests. All of these have brought the church much closer to the lives ~f these women.

8. Young People's \Vork. Most of our churches have now organized .Young People's Fellowship Groups, to take' the place of· the old Epworth Leagues. Last summer they had at Kuliang a Young Peoples' Fellowship Training Conference, to which representatives from all the churches on the district went. This was very helpful indeed.

9. Rural Service. At the village of Lau··tak in the Ong­ong-die area on the Siong-do circuit there has been organized a chapeJ, and a kindergarten. The -Women's Bible Seminary has sent workers to help in this work, and the Theological school has cooperated.throughthe help of pne of it~ faculty members, and

266 IfOOCHOW ANNUAL CONF~R~NCE

some of its students. This is a phase of rural service we are hop­ing will bear much fruit and be an inspiration to other churches.

10. Education. vVe have more than ten primary schools in the villages on the district, as well as three right here in Foo­~how. Also we have two kindergartens. The governmental re­strictions regarding the teaching of religion have not interfered with OUf work here and the spirilUal atmosphere is now better in these schools than is 'has been ior some time.

11. Church Life. In the spring we had a membership training Conference and retre"1t for the members in the,several ehurches. This fall we had a more extensive one at Ngie-seu.

12. Spiritual Life of Pastors. Every month the preach­ers of the district have met together for their meetings for spir­ltila} and intellectual development, and to discuss the affairs of the district. In the spring t~e pastors of the distr;ct met for a week at 'Sa-sieng-se for a retreat, and were much blessed there. This fall we had a one day retreat for the deepening of the spir­itual life at the time of one of our monthly meetings. This has an helped the spirit of cooperation among the men and has raised the. spiritual tone in-the lives of the pastors. It has shown its e~(ct in th~ work in the cJturches.

Futsing District

G0NG GI-SI~NG. Superintendent

. Four years have passed since I was appointed to this work; l}!t me now report briefly on the accomplishments of this pHs.ent year.

/. The D;slricl-al .. !arge. Shortage of funds from America; and the very chaotic conditions of the cuunty, military campaigns, banditry, drought,a'nd pestilence, ,have seriousiy hampered the work of the Church. Viole still carry the Cross, however, with courage, hoping to majntain the Chureh at its nigh level. This has been possible through the favor of God, and the ready co~ 9peration of missionaries and fellow workers.

2. Lay Leadenhip Training. These members are the very pillars of the Church, so that we have paid special attention 10 their training. Last January,) Mr. Wil1:iarns frolo Fooebow came wit.h a FeHowshipgroup to Futsing and we were all richly bles~ed by their help" Iu February, representatives of the three distri~ts met, under the leaden;hip of Mr. NOlton of the Anglican

RgPORTS 267

Church of Foochow. Stlch was the impetus .gained Hom these nTeetings that we organized our own group, which meets every Thursday in a public meeting, preceeded by a workers' meeting on \Vednesday. The whole atmosphere of OUT work has been changed since these meetings began.

Yukie and Lungtien have foHowed our steps, with their own groups, I have personally helped in their meetings. Last month another stlch meeting was held for the whole district, followed by the annual district conference. Many men confessed their sins and had their lives changed; such is the power of these meetings, to change the life of the Church.

3. Condition of the Circuits. Conditions at Hai-kau, Chie­haeng, and Deng,cheng are good, with faithful pastors, and warm­hearted officials. Sa-ling and Buang-tau fortunateiy have cour­ageous pastors, for this summer, a "red" group tried to occupy the church, but through the daring of these men, they were held off, although they did considerable damage to neighboring villages.

The pastors at Ing-mi and Baek-buo mui are faithfu-l and active, but here for various reasons, the Church has not been able to grow, in fact, is losing ground. Chiang-tau and Seu-tau also are served by untiring pastors. The work in Futsing City shows results for the work of the pastors, and the membership have a deep faith in our Lord.

4. Religious Education. On the district, we have five primary schools and one kindergarten. Teachers number more than 10, with about 200 students, in addition to the students of the two middle schools. Futsing City, Hai-kau and Deng-cheng have the best work along Sunday school lines.

5. Training for the Future. The program for 1935 out­lined by BIshop Gowdy has receiv.ed very careful consideration in distrIct conference. We have divided the district into three centers for intensive training thus; Deng-cheng and Buo-mui to meet in Futsing; Seu-tau, Cbiang-tau,"and Chie-haeng at Hai-kau ; Buang-tau and Ing-mi at Sa-ling. It is our prayer that much good may come from these training conferences, to the honor and glory of the Kingdom.

Kutien District U SING-HUA, Superinte1tdent

For several years the emphasis upon evangelism has been the keynote of the Christian \vork on this district. This year, while retaining :tbe old::emphasis, we have added the work of

268 POOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE

training for Christian service to our program. The chief points of interest have been rural training centers, such as Oi long where for five weeks the combined program of training and evan­gelism was carried on with great and increasing success. This long period was the resu1t of the war, which came !>uddenly upon us in December and January of last year and prevented the band from returning to the city. A ten day meeting vvas held at Duai Giang in the sixth month, with very happy resl1lts. In Novem~ ber the old Kude field was the center of evangelism <'nd training, with a rich harvest of awakened lives to reward the workers for their efforts. The Roly Spirit was clearly in leadership in these efforts to awaken the unsaved and to quicken the membership of the church. Some two hundred men and women signified their intention to serve the Lord and Ii \Te the Christian life.

The work among the young men continues to be the m;: st fruitful of the several activities of the church. The fifteen churches of the district have nearly all night schDols and eightof them have regulariy organized clubs for young men. This cur­rent of YOUllg life .is penetrating all branches of tlle church and is no doubt the real hope of the future. Some of the rural cen­ters have specialized in a small way in lines of rural reconstruc­tion. At Liang Tau a co-operative venture in cattle has been started; Duai Giang is experimenting in the r.aising of ginger. At Duai Gio the Christians are planting trees as an investmtnt for the church :,upport; Kude and Lok Kang are emphasizing the need of sanitary reform. All these efforts are the result of work among the youth of these places.

The preachers' and laymens' retreat and training confer­ence for the two districts was held in June at Kutien. Miss Lefforge of Foochow and Secretary Samson Ding representing the Conference Board of Religious Education gave valuable aid at this meeting. Shorter conferences of the same type were held during the summer at Lang Tang, Go lng, Mui Bang, and Liang Tau, three days being given to each place for training members in the principles of re)jgiou~ education.

307 probationers have passed examinations in the Life of Christ catechism, and 329 members have studied the Social Ser­vice Catechism in the course of Applied Christianity.

It has been a hard year for many of the pastors, who have not 011 the average received more than forty per cent of their salaries, but they have shown the spirit of the early church fac­ing hardships and sufferings for Christ's sake. "Every man for Christ" i~ still the slogan of the chur<:h in Kutien~

Lungtien District

Snt CU-UNG, Superintendent

I feel this year has been more difficult than the previ­ous two.

I Circuit Conditions: Rev. Ling Gi Hok 011 the Go­sang Circuit has increased the number of learners and hearers. There seems to be an awakening of np.w interest. The church building has been repaired wholly with funds raised locally: Rev. Hung Daik Ching of the Rai-ieu Circuit, and Rev. Ding Sing Bing of the Deng-aing charge have both taken their work very seriously, altho there is banditry rampant on the two charges. In the Hai-ching-tau village there are more than twenty families of Christians. This is a Christian community belong­ing to the Hai-ieu Circuit. The Cbe!lg-gieng village on Deng­aing has been largely Christian for 80 years. The work on the Siek-geng charge has suffered greatly thIs year on account of the proselyting of the "True J eSl1S Church" Rev. Ling Ceng Chung has h2d a very trying experience with this disturbing element~ At Sang-sang, Lu-ha and Ma-hl1 the pastors have b~en faithfully supported by loyal members and the work on the three charges has been successful notwithstanding the difficult condItions abroad. Rev. U Nai Cio on the Ha-u Circuit has had a very successful year. Both the pastor and the Bible woman llave been dlligent in the matter of training the members. Rev. Guoh Siu Gi on the Sik-ko Charge reports twenty new families added to the Church during the year. Contributions for pastoral support have increased under the If'adership of this experienced pastor. The average attendance at Sunday services is about 300. Both A­puo-iong and Deng-sieu of the Geng-giang Charge have had splendid years; also Go chio of the same charge repurts advances along all lines. The Geng-giang Circuit is always on the move. The pastor Rev. Sie Cung lng has had his troubles keeping things going on the out-station Go liang. He has launched a vIgorous program of religious education in this church. The total service attending constituency on the Geng-giang Charge has doubled this year. This charge maintains its financial stability retaining complete self-support.

2. Various Meetings: There have been four special meet­ings on the district this year. Last winter the pastors met to discuss the problems for the new year, and to fix a budget neces­sary for carrying out the program. In April Miss Abel and Rev.

270 FooeBOW ANNUAL CONF1RENCE

Hayes brought a group to Lungtien to lead the FeJlowship move­ment, and to share their religious experiences. This was a most helpful getting together. In August we met again in the An­glican Church at Go-sang for another Fellowship group meeting. A group from Foocbow were present for this joint service, among whom were Mr. Willains and Bishop Ding of the Anglican Church. There was much heart searching in this meeting and great good was accomplished. In October the workers of the entire district met again in Lungtien. Many witnessed to a new and deeper sense of the Truth. The membership of the Church has been greatly stirred through these meetings. In addition to the sp~cial meetings mentioned, there have been services in con­nection with the Christian Family movement, and special service for the wives of pastors These women have been moved to go Ollt every Sunday and preach among the women.

During this period of drought, famine, banditry and strife and other adverse circumstances the giving for pastoral support and other benevolences has been greatly affected. Most of the pastors are receiving not to exceed 40 to 50% of their allotted salaries.

It'lintsing District LAU HENG·'l'ONG, Superintendent

Throughout the whole of the year I have attempted to carry the responsibilities for all parts of the work on the District. From the middle of the second month to the end of the year I have visited all of the charges regularly, holding the qua'rterly conferences and promoting the work on each charge. In addl­tjon to this, we have held a special Passion W eekservice· in the Eleventh township, and in the third and fourth months, Home Training and Evangelistic meetings in the Fourteenth and Fif­teenth townships. In the seve·nth month special services were l1eld in :the Sixth Township at Gi-dok-dong and also at Duai..;tau in the second township. We are thankful to God that even though there has been banditry and unsettled conditions on the District, I have been able to c,frry on and have been happy in my work.

Special Meetings: In order.to make progress in the church, the first thing necessary is a deepening of the spiritual life, Therefore in view of the fine response that the Oxford Groups were receiving in Foochow, we invited them to come to Mintsing. rhough they came at the very-end of the old year (Chinese) and

271

people were very busy, we had an un,usua11y good attendance at the meetings and aU were benefited far beyond what we had thought possible.

In the last of the eighth month, all of the leaders of the District met at Sieu-huong-tau for a Religious Education Con­ference. The Conference proved very helpful and all were greatly benefited by the days of council, prayer, and study to­gether. The strength for this year's work has come from the influence of these two meetings.

Education: In the Eleventh, Fourteenth and Fifteenth townships, the schools of this character have been much more successful this year. At Siong-iong the mass education school is, proving a foundation for new church life and interest in what the church may offer. Noting the close relation between the church and these mass education schools, we are ·now planning for a Union Mass Education Organization which will conserve the good that the schools have created.

In religious education, the finest Sunday Schools are to be found in the Third-Sixth township and the First-Second town­ships. In a number qf places the opportunity has been found to establish neighborhood Sunday schools in addition to those held at the church. The Religious Education meeting in the summer was exceedingly helpful in aiding the pastors to see their oppor­tunity in this respect.

Travelling Library: The need of a library in the city is recognized by all, but few realize the need in the country. Last year we hoped to establish some kind of a library service for our country churches, but there was no money or plan that seemed satisfactory. During the summer, the District Missionary was able to secure special funds for this purpose, and beginning with the tenth month, a travelling library was established. This library, consisting of a man making the rounds of all of the churches with books to loan pastors and people, has proved un­usually helpful. All who receive its services recognize that this, combind with the mass educational work of the district, is a real service to the communities rendered by the church.

Yukie District DING UNG-CIUJ Superintendent

The year has been a difficult one because of almost un­bearable. financial conditions, banditry and famine. In spite of it all, we are thankful that God, through his grace, has led us

2i2 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONf'ERENCt

out victorious. In addition, we must express our gratitude to the many leaders and he1pers who have proved so loyal.

I. General Conditions on the Districl. The district is a hard one to travel, stretching out so as to tOllch three counties; right through the middle of the district, however, run~the main thoroughfare north and south.

'vVe have on the district 23 church buildings which are served by I I pastors, 3 Bible women, and 6 day school teachers. In spite of conditions, the members have been faithful in support­ing the church and making repairs where needed.

It is a marvel that under such trying conditions, there have been some increases in nlembers' giving. 'vVe have been distress­ed, however, over the wrecking of the Choi-die circuit by bandits, and of the partial wrecking of H uang-dio.

2. Fellowship Meetings. III April we called together the preachers of the district for three days of soul-searching on the basis of the .four standards of perfection as found in Jesus Christ. It made us all face realities and re-dedicate our lives to Christ.

Our district conference later I was preceeded by three days of fellowship meeting; here in addition to the preachers, there ~ere present the Bible women and official members from each charge. The spirit was splendId and much good came from these meetings.

One result is that every week in Yukie there is held a fel­lowship meeting for the sharing of ones victories-and difficulties. ~ng-JDg Island also has organized such a group, which will mean much ill the inner life of our members.

3. Membership Training. Every Sunday afternoon in Yukie, we hold a training period for the youth of the church. This is building for the future, one of our most important pieces of work.

. . The Bishop's program for evangelism has been enthusias­tically received, and was given careful consideration at our dis­trict conference.

4. Sunday Schools. The primary importance of the training of the youth of the church is very clear before our eyes. It is foundation work in the church. There are r6 schools, with a total of 32 teachers, ·660 students. Most of these are'led by class leaders or officials of the churches, and aim to follow·the latest methods.

Board of Religious 'EducaHon

The Board of Religious Education of the Foochow Con­ference has found itselt confronted :wiih- a very large task. - The .work of religious .education i~ not merely oneseclor {)f th'e work I of the chun:h. It is in truth the task in which the entire church is engaged. The .problem before ,the Board of Religious Educa­tion has been to discover, those phases of the work of the -church as a whole.to which, by virtue of .its organization and personnel, it can make the most he~pful contributions. Because the Board is m,ade up of repre$cntatives of !loth -tpe ::\\'omen's Conference 'and 'the Arinual Conference, it is in 'a position to see the work of the church as a whole.

The work of'the Bo~rci is 'ca.red .f6r through Jive sub­committees. These are: Committee on Children and Home; CommitteeDn Youth Work (a) in schools and '{b),in 'rural com­munities ; ,Committee on Adult Vvork; Committee on Curriculum; ,Committee, on Leadership Training. T'he one Jast named:was authprized by the.East Asi'aCentral Conference during its-ncent session. It is through these sub-committees that the Board:comes ~nt9 actual contact wlth the specificprobJems of forwarding the work of the church. ' . .

Notable wo'rk has be~n 'do~e by some of these sub-com­mittees during the year, un~(!r the _le~dershipo'f their chairman and of the executive secretaries, ,~r~ 'Ding Sieng·smg and .Dr. Roxy Lefforge.' The Committee on -Children and Home bas promoled· conferences for preachers' wIves. One, on Haitang, bas already been held with marked success. Others wiHbecar. ried out. The V ~catiOJ) _ Church Schools belong within ,the pro . . vmc~ of th~s committee also, and maay circuits in the conference had school~ orgo:o,ized on them' this. past summ,er.through the _agency of this committee. A handbook for leaders of such S,chools prepared ~y Mr.,Ding Sieng.sing, proved" of Invaluable help in making the ,work of these schools effective. In two places on Haitang Is]~nd two primary schools have grown out of -the interest these va~ation schools dev,eloped. Wor~.of Christianiz­ing the home, of better Sunday-schools, and the.like, also has been undertaken by this committee. , The'sub-cbinmitfe~ on youth work setup thr'ee goals for

its work 'of the 'year; (a) To make religious work, for youth church-centered, (b) To promote personal contacts between teach­ers and~tudents 'and small-group fe116wsl1ips Within 'schools as one of ,the best means:ofJead~pgto religious Hfe and (c) To urge

281

that the staff of each school hold '.aretreat at the beginningo.f each term's work for th.e enric~ment of their own religious life. Progre'ss'hasbeell 'made on at l~ast ihe first oi these aims in the work of Tieng Ang Dong in Foochow. In a conference on Youth and the Church held on Kuliang during the summer ddcgates from various circuits within th~ Conference received much help on ways of making the church a real center of religious life for youth.

On leadership training, the Executive Committee of the iBoard : met during the summer to answer a request from the Binghu-Kutien Districts ,for suggestions for:a school f9r the training of lay leaders. A fairly detailed program was workea 'out all'd presented to the leaders of those ,districts for their con­sideration; these have been la,rgely incorporated in plans for a :schoo] for'lay leaders to be held during the coming year.

'VVith the adoption of the Bew four-year progr~m worked out by the all-China Executi ve Committee on Reiigious Ed ucation and adopted by the East Asia Central Conference, and with the assignment of Mr. Ding 'Sierig-sing aild Dr. Roxy Lefforge as joint Executive Secretaries for religious' education of the Metho .. dist Church"in China, the way is opened for signal advance in the year ahead. Large praise is due to the ceaseless efforts of these two leaders for the carrying fOI:ward of the work of religious education. They have ,participated in such enterprises as a train­ing school in Kutien. in the youth conference on Kuliang, pre .. paratiol1 of a song book for. children, and have otherwise glven ,unstintedly of time and effort to committees and individuals en­gaged ill one phase or ano~her of this work.

Fu~ien Area rttetbodist Theologic~1 Se.min~rY' HARRY W- WORl,£y;;President

;. :·.'i.After the break:up of ,educational activities in 1927i the Foochow Conference reorganized its 11inisterial Training in the fall of 1929. We have now completed more (han fiive full years of wprk. Two and a 'half years w.ith the cooperation of the Hinghwa Conference. \Ve areill fact serving the whole, Ar~~ .. ,

. I ,desire at thi~ time 10 expres~ my. ,appreciatio~ for the intelHgent and helpful cooperation of the members of the Board of l\1anagers. ' ' , ,. . !

Of the loyal cooperation and faithful work of the mem­bers of the faculty, I can not speaktqo highly. Each member brings 'a special contribution and a different rmphasis, and the students are richer ~gr it. , ..

The spiritual life of tl:te students has remained at a high level. I have heard'ofsome criticisms on this score being spread abroad: But OTh tracing the criticisl11s, to their sources, 1 find that'they have originated with students who ha,ve been disciplin-·edfor :breaking' rules, and have tried by pointing out faults in others to turn away attention from their own shortcomings. There are 'se:veral voluntary prayer" groups :among. the students, and the prayer;group which meets at half past si~ every Sun9ay Jllornipg is of great value. In a~dition,to' all the required re­i:ligious work of the students, four ·voluntary Gospel Teams go out ~ach. wee~. The Gospel Team made u,p of Hing11\Va stu.dents is doing very good work. The boys in this team:haveJfound cer­tain groups of Hingh:'Yfl,speaki.ng people who have ve~y litt.~e contact \:Vith the Fcioc'how speaking church~s, and they have been a source of great blessing to these groups. T

, One of the most valid criticisms of th~ fprmer TheologicqJ Seminary in Fooch9w was that its gr:'lduates' did not go into the work of JQe, ministry. Wc;.l1ave 'graduateq two'cl~s~es since Dijr ~~eoI.:ganiz~tion, with seven'students in each' class. 'Although this is probably' the' most d ifficu it .period the. Ch urch has fated in rJUany years, and funds for paying,preacbers are exceedingly low, yet these fourteen young men ar~ now all of them preaching in the Methodisf'Church. Of the fourteen. one is in the Yenpillg Conference, two are in the~'Hingh wa Conference, and eleven in the FoochbW -Conference.

Five 'Year Movement on the Four Coast Districts DING CEN.G-J::K

The-Church 'has faced hard times,· so ;.that our desirecl goals have. riot been numerically·reached,'but.quaJity has beenjIl1:­proved. I shall brjeBy narrate these fa'Ct.s for your observation~

1. The Quantitative·Phase. Since the mOVement begin in 1929, there has been some increase, both inJmembership and givingj up. to da.te. In membership, this is about 69"0 ~ecrease; in giving it is 4%. Details ·;can be found in the reports, of the ¥anous,sl!lperintendents.

The eight principles of the movement lard stress ot{innet det"pe.ning~anq oJlt~?rd,e,nlar,geJtlent, ail~li~g .at ~ou,bi~ng of mem­berslnp arid support~1 heecollomuj sItUatlon IS chIefly respon­slble for failure to attain,this goal. From my own observation, it is clear that many' membets have been 'forced by conditions peyond. th<;ir ,cQDtrol in,to abys~al living ~a11d . .despair. All their time ar,.d 'energy have gone into saving their very lIfe. with the result t~at Jpe Church has:stiff~red~ , ~

We well realiz~, and thus 1,1ave built our program) on the .conv~ction .that if the Chllrch is to become sdi-supportll1gand indigenous, it must begin with a spiritual enrichmept. '. Our. cbi~t ~lIlphasis, rherefore,hasbeen on religious. ed!lcation, family wor-'s~lip, and youth training. ". , .

2. The Qualitative Pha.se.~. The motto of the Movement ·has,been "Lord, Revive Thy Church t but let it first begin in me." St. Paul said, "I can do all things through Him who strengtheneth me.?' :J:f :that- b~, true, what ,can we not..do,through .Him 1. , : '~rhe 'COmil'lg~f t'he F ell~wship G~~up from Foo~how-J ·led by Mr. \ViHiams, with its emphasis 011 a Christ-centered.life and ,the;sharingof spiritualexpeneilces has opened up new.spiritual 1-irfe.to many of ,our. leaders •.

cooperation ,takes the place of grudge and' res~ntmen[ Two meeting~ill Lungtien brought many, ]aymen and; pastors face to face with :their failures, one ,old man willingly'.giving up his ~fpuppet" gods, by which he, deceived the: ignorant fulks, :{or. a renewed faith in God. Other laymen in tears besought God's {orgiveness .for i1.heir sins, and pledged a ne.V\' allegiance to Him.

The 'two meetings 'at· Yukie were just as productive in unraveling knotted problems of years' standing; new decisions toward;i life bf, truth were ,regi~t~red., The", one'meetipg at Bingtang proved a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit. A con­flict within the church over an insignificant property matter, out­standing for almust two years, melted away during the meetings, as we iall:united in fervent prayer ~ A new inspiration has corne to the hearts of' us all, and the splendor of the, Kingd6rnof.

vV. S.BISSONNETTE

The year: 1934 has been a crucial one for the Kutien Boys 'HighSchool. .,Begmning ,the year with ).07 students} the highest ,enrollment but ,one alllongthe boys high schools of :the Fooebow conference, it has been found necessary to reduce the number to about sixty students. This reduction was caused by the need of eliminating a number) 0(., i.Dcorrigible ,students and decreasing the proportion of n,on-Christian boys. -

Miatsinghsien. Tieng-yu Junior Middle School CHEN KUNG-SHAN, Principal

, ~ '" ~ .~ ~ , .

Through 'its 'forty years, TiengYu J uniorMiddle School ill Miotsing has served the Christian work. In this significant year, 40th anniversary of its founding, I have been appointed to .be the principal of this school. I shaH take the liberty of giving you some account of the present school situation.

General Condition'; :.' 'The enrollment for the faJ] semester was sixty-five exclusive of the twelve that had been graduated this July. Even under tbe rural economic depression and drou'ght, the number of students is not smaller than neighboring govern .. ment schools.'. Among: this number , there are twenty-fiye boys irom Christianbomes, and the others ilre non-Christians. Some improvement was made in organizing the schooL administration and in changing the student life, resulting ill better school spirit. Our staff cooperates well.in doing their work, solving the difficult .problem in the best ;possible way and·showing the Christian ,atr titude among the students .. vVe are specially thankful for Mrs. Esther .B. Stockwell who teaches music and English thls term in our school. She not only promotes the student interest in rrusic but also encourages them through the different phases of work to :trcatea be~ter school spirit. .

Religious Work: The religious work has a committee to create. a religious program for .the ~choo1. .' This committee con­sists of aU ,our staff, Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell, leaders of student Y •. M. C. A. and the local pastor:- They carefu11y plan the pro", grams whi~h are 1ltilized .in~ a sati~factory~way,. ;-Morning chapel

is ,heldnve times weekly, with both faculty a,i1dsttidents taking the leadership of these services, which are designed to be of a distincty religious character. The majority attend Sunday School and in the afternoon, there is vesper song service which the stu­dents ha ve enj0yed greatly. Besides the usual activities thedis-, cussion groups have been 0rganized: and meet on Saturday morn~ ing. The 'teacher's Bible Study.Cldb regularly'meets on Satur­day evenings under 'the leadership'of Rev. F.O. Stockweil for the special pu~pose of understanding the end of Hving and realiz­ing the meaning of ] eStls. • Furthermore, a' room with special decoration, \vas set aside as a small' chapel for worship with the bppe that ~uch a place would provide more ~mphasis on worship ~nd the spiritual refreshment. ' . ' ,

Student Activities: ,An' -important feature of student life consists of the Stu,dent Self-government Association and Y. M. C. A" Glee Club and Recreational Club 'that exist for the purpose of promoting student activities and building up the Christian spirit. The officers are active in doing their ~ork. One of the most significant 'movements during this semester, has been started by our faculty and students is the propaganda movement in a c2rtain week for doing a way with supersition. The cause of this movement is a iocal supersitious celebration, the "Prayers fur the Dead", which great.1y infiuenceqaU the part of the country. Our teachers and students were very cooperative and sympathetic in this work and published a special journal for the. purpose of ex­plaining the misunderstanding of the supersition. As the result of this 'work, our school kept in good order during. this perioq and many people realized their wrong faith. As to the celebra~ #on of our 40th Anniversary, the stude~,ts an,d teachers a.re earn­estly planing for a large meeting on December 27,on w.hich day the.Board of Managers and alumni and faculty and students will 1:>e present. The Student Assq~i~tion is. sponsori~g a gqod play in ho~nor oftne ha~dships which we have past through and for the furthpr aim of strengthening the educational emphasis of the school.

Present. and F,uture:. Our school is. now facing the 1110st difficult situation it has had to meet in its whole history . In fact, the problem of its ,continued. existence as a Christian school is now ill the balance. Two major points of dangerco~fr~:>D.t us:,

The first danger ;isthis the diminishing of approprotion from the Bcard:of Foreign Missions. The total amount recei~d this year from this source is Mex. $:::Ioo. "Tuition fees are about $1400 which together withheJp from the goverJ!me!l~ a!!4 fr!egd~

298 FOOCHOW ANNUAL, ,CONFt~ENCJt

under a total of $2500 for the support ofa school: with six teac1f-ersand . si Xty.;. five students. .

The second 'danger,is, that the i1;1c're~Ee of., non~ Cl1ristiaris ~tl1dents due to financial needs. of ,the school, which "is depending tuore and more' on tuition, for support. . This kit'ld' of aSituCition is resulting in the difficulty of itscontinu'ing to Junction a's the only Christian boys junior middle school in ,Mintsing ... We feel morever-Jbat any sort of work done in China, 'under the present ~f:1qi¥OIJS1 calls .f~r, acourageol1~ spirit. ; In,orcler 'to' keep the ~x~stence ,of thIS . school, we must, find 'new sources of support ~n;d ~he ~ooperative spirit: to' r~laintain the school through 'these difficult times. Rev. and Mrs. F. O. Stockwell are loyal.helpers in our school both spiritually and financially, but u~£ortunately they ,leave us very soo,rifortlieir furlough. Therefore we must look to the' new mtssio'naty to help us in· the SdlOOl work and to cooperat~·~.rth us to overcome our difficulties.

We are ever corisciou~ of the aim ofF. C. U. far the char­acter training of Chinese youth through the spirit of, Christian love, 'sacrifice, and- service. During the past year the following three steps' were emphasized in attaining this aim: .

, . .

'. "1. ,,' The Religiolls Life of the Students and Faculty. The Sttld~nt Christian Association has been very acti:veand has had a vital part in the religious life of the college. 80% of the stu­dents ,are members. of this association. They have conducted discussion groups headed by facuity members, devotional me.et­ings, and held retreats, besides the work they have done with the workmen on the campus ~nd .the surr6i.tndingvillage pe~ple.

In addition to part:cipating in the various S.C. A. activi'-' ties as ment;oned above, the facuJty has a hi-weekly prayer meet­ing, and a Bible Study Cla~s of its own .• Also their part in out­side activities, such as the Glee Club and the Dramatic Club .helps to create a genunine Christian spirit. !

2. :Scientific Training. China needs science for her na­tional reconstruction; higher educationcanQot neglect the actual needs oLthe present day. Last year we received a grant of M$I2,000 from The Chma Foundation for the strengthening of our science departments. With tbis help we were able to add some much needed 'equipment. This year the Nanking Ministry of Education has granted M$I2,000 for the further strengthening of our~ci,en~e departments! '. 3." Rural, .S.'ervice. Program. Rural reconstruction caU~

tion with'the institution I have 'not 'known 'it to'steadily keep so high a 'patient; census as it has during the past month. IVlany times during September we have been forced to consider very carefully whether or not we could admit a patient. One day the office reported that,everything,was ft)1L For a number of days the daily patient census has been ninety or above, with only the special rooms available for patients,.other than one or two beds in the maternity ward. We have at times urged patients to go to other hospitals, but :it: is difficult for them; to see -the reason­ableness of such requests on our part. One patient said he could lie on the floor. and~there was plenty of room in the hallway. But we daTeJ not begin to overcrowd our rooms and wards lest- the -reputation. fer carefuL work which our doctors are acquiring shall be lost.
