(a) Report of District Superintendents

UMTALI DISTRICT

REPORT OF H. I. JAMES

Bishop Johnson and Fellow Workers.—

Another Conference year has ended and brings with it review andreport. To actually measure the results of the year is difficult, for

success in the work of the Kingdom may not be counted or weighed as

are things. Spiritual values of the year's work depend on the degree to

which the Divine will has been accomplished.

St. Andrews Church.

Perhaps but little change can be reported regarding the Europeanwork. The work is both necessary and difficult. There are manypeople who call St. Andrews their Church but do little else, whichafter all is perhaps but little different from conditions of any churchanywhere. On the other hand I believe that St. Andrew.? is doing a

great deal in maintaining Christain principles and ideals among thepeople who might otherwise become almost altogether pagan.

Previous to April of last year, when we were appointed to Umtali,the Sunday morning service had been discontinued for over a year andit has been very difficult to revive. The attendance at the eveningservices is much brtte:- than it was six months ago. A number of

members have been received by transfer and a class of about nine are

id preparation for membership, so that the real membership will beiaereastjiB by about sixteen over that of a year ago.

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS" REPORTS 27

Native Work.

The native work of the town remains a large and importantopportunity. Conditions of town life are not good for the Native andits influence would be sad indeed if no moral and spiritual effort

were made by the Chuich. The town work is very difficult owing to

the ever changing population, but the town Church is a Church a-

way from home and is the means of tiding many over a dangerousperiod. Many of the Church members working in Umtali are from thevarious stations of the Conference; these are sought out and cared for.

I would especially urge all who are in charge of stations or circuits toinform David Mandisodza or whoever may be in charge of the workin Umtali of any of their people who come to town to work as ?oon aspossible after their removal. This would enable follow up work to bedone which would save quite a number from drifting into bad ways.

This year the Native Church building has been renovated bothinside and out and is once again in good condition. The Sundayafternoon congregations contini'.e at about four hundred and fill thebuilding. There are other meetings on most days of the week for

spiritual help besides two sessions of school daily. Preaching is also

carried on at both the location, which is on the outskirts of the town,and at another point just outside town where are living a number of

families on farm lands. The municipal location is growing and it is

quite probable that, as the families there increase, it will be necessaryor us to undertake some work among the people who dwell there.

W. F. M. S. Work.

About the beginning of this year Miss Hess moved into Umtali to under-take new work under the Womans Foreign Missionary Society. Miss Hessis living in the smail parsonage near St. Andrews until her own houseis completed. At last the long talked of Native Girls' Hostel has beenbegun and the buildings are rapidly nearing completion. The delayshave been legion. Obstruction movements by the inhabitants of thevarious sections where it was proposed to build have driven us fromplace to place until, after a period of close on two years, we have atlast been granted a site far better than any that were denied us. It

may be that, often, when we see closed doors we should take it as aProvidential leading and guidance rather than as obstacles in our way.The present site is ideal from many points of view. The buildings,costing about £3,200., will be ready for occupation next moth. Theinitial cost of the buildings is being borne jointly by the WomansForeign Missionary Society and the Government who are very anxiousto see what this, the first venture of the kind in the colony, will proveto be in meeting the needs of housing working girls in urban areas.

As nothing of this kind of work has ever been attempted here be-

fore, it must not be thought that everything will at once leap into

shape. Those doing the work will very likely have to feel their wayalong very cautiously, at least for the beginning, until the purpose andscope of the hostel is understood both by European employers andNative servants, and its usefulness demonstrated to all.

We certainly welcome Miss Hess into Umtali as it will doubtlessmean, apart from the Girls' Hostel work proper, work being doneamong the women of the town and location.


MREVVA DISTRICT

REPORT OF ERNEST L. SELLS

Bishop and Fellow- Workers :—

The conference year of 1929-30 that is now history has been an epochmaking one. The difficulties, problems and discouragements have beenmore than off-set by the spiritual blessings that have come to ourpeople. They are not unaware of the crises through which we arepassing but are becoming more and more convinced of their ownresponsibilities and are assuming them in a far greater way than could beexpected in many instances.

During the year there have been several changes in the district staff

and about the usual number have dropped out of the work. The postconference appointment of Zachariah Mukombiwa to Headlands Circuithas greatly strengthened that unit.

The small-pox epidemic last. November and December caused almosta complete stand-still in the work for those two months. When we wereable to resume the work on February 1st it took a month before we wereagain back to normal.

Evangelism

During the year the district program has been directed to the workof evangelism. Not the type that makes merely church members butbrings a real experience of Christ. This is the primary purpose of all ourmissionary work and I believe that it will have to be the final solution ofour chmch, educational and financial problems. The old saying, "Theheart of all troubles is heart trouble" holds true in connection with ourwork.

Last February during a week of prayer and special services at Mrewathere were a great many converted and many experienced the deeperwork of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. The boys went out in the surround-ing kraals taking the gospel message to those who did not attend themeetings. The regular Sunday services are often scenes of hungry souls

seeking Christ. During the Pentecost season meetings were in progressall over the district making it possible for the Center and every cut-station to be reached. The most outstanding of these meetings were held

at Mrewa, Arnoldene and Chikono. Some very good reports have beenreceived in connection with this effort and the June quarterly meetingshave confirmed them. I will give the testimonies of two stewards whichwere characteristic of a large number. One said, "I do not understandwhat happened on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came but 1

know that a cleansing fire came upon their heads and went into their hearts.

Today I can feel that such a fire has come into my heart and it is burning.You cannot see it and I cannot tell you about it. I am very happy." Theother on Headlands Circuit testified that Christ had come very near to

him and as he prayed he saw a white man, who was Christ, carrying aheavy cross. He was so tired that he could carry it no longer. Then thesteward said that he thought about himself and of how he had been failing

to help Christ carry that cross by not assuming his share of the responsi-

bilities in connection with the work of the church.It is true that the problems and difficulties that are, confronting us

in our work are due in almost every case to the lack of a spiritual urge

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 2<J

among our people. We can hardly call our church in Southern Rhodesiaas self-propagating. It seems to me that it is time that we are investigat-ing the foundation upon which we are building least in later years it

crumble beneath us. If the church is ever to assume its rightful place in

connection with our work every phase must converge towards the oneend of evangelism. " Hit and miss " methods will never accomplish thework. I hope that this Conference will make a definite provision for thetraining of our pastor-teachers in evangelism. I have no desire in anyway to substitute mechanics for Divine leadership but only in makinghuman agencies more effective in reaping the abundant harvest that is athand.

Out-Stations

In December after the Finance meeting and the fifty per cent cutbecame known, the condition and and the possible self-support wasfrankly put before the pastor-teachers and stewards (who could cometogether during the quarantine) of each of the three circuits. Inevery case they unanimously requested that every school should beallowed to continue and that the additional support for making it

possible be apportioned to each station. This required that there bean increase at each station of three times the amount contributed last

year if their request was to be carried out. Upon this basis we proceed-ed to finance the work of the district. At the end of the first finan-cial quarter there was a small deficit that was practically cleared in

June. The money is now on hand to pay every worker in full for thehalf year. Twenty-eight schools are in operation and the people in generalare happy over their achievement. The additional self-support representsa considerable sacrifice on the part of many while on the part of othersit is only a normal standard of Christian giving.

These results have come in part from an intensive effort in train-ing our members in Christian giving and tithing that was carried onthrough-out the district last October and November by the use of sermonsdemonstrations and questions. The entire aim was to bring our member-ship to the realization that giving is an indispensible part of worship.

Good results besides increased support have come from this effort.

The church and school attendance has increased, a stronger local or-

ganization has been formed, inactive members have been resurrected anda real Christian loyalty is expressing itself. These conditions are a tine

preparation for the gathering in of a spiritual harvest that is now ripe

and we should not hesitate in reaping it.

There has been a substantial increase in membership. One hundredforty-five full members and one hundred eighty- seven probationarymembers have been recieved during the year. One thousand, two hun-dred thirty-three pupils are enrolled in the kraal schools, of the District.

Mrewa Center

The Center has continued to fill its place in both school and evangel-istic work. Its strategic location makes its efforts doubly important.I have mentioned the revival fires that have been burning and need onlyto add that with our limited equipment and finances we must more andmore center our efforts in soul winning. The necessary equipment demand-ed for complying with educational standards is financially impossible andoven if money could be secured out-side of regular funds it wou!:i he

unwise to make such a development in the face of our continued decrease

in income.


With the decrease in the Center allowance this year the work hashad to be adjusted so that we could keep within our income. The numberof boys in the boarding department has been reduced to twenty-eight. Thepresent enrollment in the girls' school is seventy one which is an increaseover that of last year. Miss Mullikin has carried a very heavy load in

taking care of these girls.

The medical and women's work deserves a place of good mention.Much has been accomplished and plans for a more efficient and far reach-ing work have been made.

Since the first of the year the Mission has been able to materiallyreduce the local indebtedness. Before the end of the financial year two-thixds of the remaining amount should be cared for.

I have greatly appreciated the help of my fellow-missionaries andnative brethren in dealing with these difficult and trying problems. TheDistrict staff has in no way spared itself in helping to bring about asolution. The great loyalty and consecration of all to the common causeand work entrusted to us by Christ and the Church inspires us to give ofour best to the Master for the salvation of the peoples among whom wework.

NYADIR3 AND MTOKO DISTRICTS

REPORT OF T. A. O'FARRELL

Superintendent of Nyadiri District

Bishop Johnson and Fellow Workers:

Conference this year finds us in the midst of so many tasks thatthere seems scarcely time to pause. It has been a difficult year, duepartly to financial causes, but also to an excessive amount of work andnumerous problems.

In November 1929 an epidemic of small-pox broke out ifl NyadiriDistrict and qickly spread until each station in the two Districts wasquarantined. This condition lasted until eariy in February. There is

little to show for that period except losses. I tried to hope that thepeople would come out with renewed energy; and with a hunger for

school and for spiritual things. But such was not the case. After their

long confinement everything seemed to be disorganized.

In the meantime our financial shortage had become known, and al-

most my first greetings to the people had to contain references to money.I was obliged to ask them for the December and March Quarterly gifts

at once, and in addition show them that we would not be able to carrythe work at all without greatly increased collections for 1930. Thereis grave danger in talking about money too much. The people did notrespond as quickly as they might have done had I been meeting with themduring the period of quarantine. But they did respond, and NyadiriDistrict is giving just about twice as much as in 192», and that withseveral stations closed.

At Mtoko a decline in giving set in nearly two years ago, startingwitb a "hungry time", and it continued until the first quarter of 1930But the last three months has seen an improvement, and the tide seemsto be definitely turned.

At this point I wish to record my deep gratitude to the NativePreacher Company for their loyal support of the Mtoko work even whenit has been impossible to keep up much correspondence with the Donors.We could not carry on the Mtoko work without their help.

We are exploiting every source of income and the prospect dees netseem too gloomy.

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS ' SI

Salisbury

The Salisbury work has been prospering under the leadership of Rev.Isaiah Munjoma. He has been able to give pastoral help to many groupsof our people outside of Salisbury. In the town we now have a sub-

stanial membership. Their gifts for the last year have been double thatof any previous year.

Native Minister at Nyadiri.

Rev. Moses Muparutsa has been at Nyadiri for one year and his

work over the District has been most helpful and fruitful. He has wonthe confidence of the people everywhere.

Mtoko,

We were disappointed in expecting Mr. Bourgaize back from fur-

lough early this year, and are happy to learn that he is soon to return.Rev. Clifford Faku has had a heavy task all through the year,

but has carried it well in spite of much illness. Rev. Gazana Sadonibahas also rendered much assistance in evangelistic work on the circuits.

But the problems that confront one at Mtoko are such that the presenceof a missionary is required constantly. On the whole the Mtoko work is

in better condition than a year ago. Quite a good many changes havebeen made in Pastor-teachers and the District now has the best staff ofNative men in its history. It is a hard field, but I believe it is ripefor a great evangelistic movement.

Nyadiri Mission.

There have been a number of changes in the work of the W. F. M. S.

Miss Frances Quinton went on a well earned furlough early this yearand Miss Sarah King arrived from furlough to take her place. MissKing's contribution at Nyadiri during these few months has been large.

She has not only carried her work well, but she has helped us spiritually.Miss Jessie Pfaff arrived on Christmas day, and her time has been

spent chiefly in language study. Her fine Christian character has madean impression on us all. We know she is a true missionary. We regretthat she has oeen ill so much and are praying that that impedimentmay speedily be removed.

Miss Reitz in addition to supervising the work of the whole schoolhas edited and published eight excellent numbers of the Umbowo bweUkirisitu, printing them on the mimeograph.

The usual industrial work has been carried on in the Girls' BoardingDepartment. The number of Boarding Girls has increased to about ahundred.

Nora Mufudza was married in April and Elina Muiimwa was se-cured to take her place as teacher.

Miss Parmenter's return from holiday in April was welcomed byall, though Job Tsiga and Susanna Marange with Mrs. O'Farrell's helphad carried on well in her absence. Throughout the year the demandsfor medical help have been greater than usual. There have been a goodmany serious cases. Two deaths from black water fever, the daughtersof Clifford Faku and James Chikuse caused deep sorrow at the Mission,

32 • RHODESIA MISSION CONFERENCE

The Boys' Boarding School and the Married Students' Location havedeveloped steadily. The industrial work is better organized and hasrecieved favorable comment from the inspectors. The work on <he house,all of which was done by the natives, has been especially commended' y all who have seen it. Mrs. O'Farrell's work with the married womencontinues to mean much to the homes at the Location. The enrollment of

the entire school has increased about 25% over last year. We have hadthe best crops in the history of the Mission, and there seems to be enoughfor use for the year. The herds are improving in quality and are in-

creasing.We are making the well deeper and have engaged a small engine

for pumping, so we hope soon to hive a good water to supply for

domestic use. It will also be piped to the dispensary.

Native Christian Convention

It was a pleasure to attend the Native Christian convention againthis year as one of the advisory missionaries. The work of our NativeBrethren in the gathering from year to year, in trying to understandand solve problems that are vital to the indiginous church, is deservingof high praise. One is particulary impressed with the sanity with whichtheir proceedings are carried on, when compared with certain otherNative gatherings in the Colony.

The year was broken by a mid-term holiday. In many ways it was.1 helpful and pleasant experience. Day after day we drove through thecountries of different tribes, visiting different missions, meeting new peopleand making new friends. We were refreshed physically, mentally andspiritually. After seeing something of the living conditions of native

in all the colonies of the Union, and of Portuguese East Africa, as

well as something of the mission work, we returned better pleased thanever with the Government and the Missions of Southern Rhodesia.

Evangelism.

Mary forces have been converging in a manner that has madea revival possible. The prayer life of our missionaries has for month*been different from anything we have experienced before. Individualsreceived the new impetus at various places and times and under different

circumstances. But we are all convinced that the proper place for arc\ival to begin is in the hearts of the missionaries.

During Passion Week we held daily services. Perhaps the finest

result of those days was a deepening sense of the spiritual possibilities

in the Holy Communon.Beginning June first we dropped school and work and began all-

day meetings. Prayer groups had been meeting daily at different places

for months. The attendance was almost 100% perfect although it wasright in harvest time. The preaching was kept within the groups thathad been praying. We called in all Pastor-teachers from the stations.

Wc did not give altar calls. But the people came to the altar. Godwas there in such power that even little boys spoke of it as " God'swork" With the utmost assurance. Many of the meetings lasted for

three hours and then had to be closed for lack of time. There weremany meetings of different characters that I shall never forget. Onesuch was on an afternoon when Moses Muparutsa and I recieved menand boys, one by one, from 2 P. M. until dark for c'onfossVon, prayer,

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT' REPOTS 33

and counsel. Hearts were freely laid bare. Some were converted there.

Many more came back the next day with glad hearts, praising Godthat all was well. A few have recieved the Holy Spirit. Somethingsimilar to that was going on in several other places that same after-

noon. Such testimonies, prayers, and such singing 1 have never heardbefore. The praying would sometimes go on indefinitely. Stolen articles

were brought back. Wrong to individuals were made right and wereforgiven.

I cannot speak for others; but for myself it surpassed any experienceI have known. Some pretty bad conditions were brought to light, butI feel we should not discouraged over that. There are still some atNyadiri who have not yielded. So the work is not complected. Wehope to see the experiense carried to the outstations after Conferenceby means of Camp Meetings.

0LD UMTALI DISTRICT

REPORT OF R. C. GATES

Bishop Johnson and Fellow Workers :-

I. Three Outstanding Events of the year :

The three outstanding events of the year in the Old Umtali Districthave been the revival at Old Umtaii during Easter week, the erection ofthe new school building, and the inauguration of the new plan of self-sup-

port on the part of kraal churches and schools. We all took a " spiritual

leap forward" in the revival services. Our whole community was deeplyand profoundly stirred as the Holy Spirit moved among us ; Christiansre-consecrated themselves and many who had had no previous experienceof Jesus as their Saviour testified to having received this blessing for thefirst time. These services were under the direction and leadership of ourPastor, Mr. Murphree. In response to the urge felt by many to go out totell the Good News abroad, school was closed for two days to permit thepupils to carry the evangelistic message to many kraals, both near andfar.

At the last Conference Bishop Johnson laid the foundation stone ofthe new school buildiug. Today this building is nearing completion. Thework still to be done includes window-panes, painting, cementing verandahfloors, plastering foundation walls, erecting black-boards, drains, and grad-ing the grounds. We all anticipate with pleasure the time when we canenter and use this new building. We are grateful for the faithful work-manship of Mr. Pretorious, who, under the supervision of Mr. Mauger andMr. Taylor, has rendered excellent service in the actual work of construc-tion.

The threatened closing of over half of our stations has been avertedby the new self-support plan which was adopted in January. I believethat this is one of the greatest blessings that has ever come into themissionary policy of the Rhodesia Mission. We are commissioned by ourGeneral Conference " to gather disciples into Christian Churches whichshall be, under God, self-propagating, self-supporting, and self-governing."Strength, self-respect, and self-confidence have been added to these nativechurches, and there has been a self-expression which in former years wasnot heard. Of the 13 stations on the Old Umtali District that had Pastor-Teachers in 1S29, 9 have Pastor-Teachers today, and of the 4 which have


none in only two instances could a portion of the cause for this lack belaid to the inability or unwillingness of the native people to financially

support their native leaders. The sudden added strain has fallen heavilyupon the people, but they wonderfully responded. In the past six monthscollections have increased 73%. For the warding off of the threatenedcatastrophe, and for the substitution of a hopeful, encouraging out-look,!' Let the righteous be glad ; let them rejoice before God : yea, let themexceedingly rejoice."

II. Hartzell Training School.

There are 331 native people under instruction at Old Umtali, of whom105 belong to the W". F. M. S. and 226 to the Board of Foreign Missions.There are 6 in the Theological, and 50 in the Teacher Training Dep't. Mrs.Taylor has specialized on Teacher Training and has brought that work upto a very high standard. The coming of Elliott Sukhuma has added to theeffectiveness of the Industrial Dep't. Since Mr. Mauger left on Feb. first

the supervision and direction of this Dep't. has been carried on by Mr.Taylor, in addition to the work of the Agriculture Dep't. Mrs. Gates andMiss Hansson have conducted community work in the Location since thedeparture of Mrs. Mauger. Forty-eight native women are receivinginstruction in various types of work. Mrs. Murphree has charge of theWomen's Sunday School, and in addition to her duties as editor of theSunday School Lessons, she has taught music in the Teacher TrainingClasses and supervised music instruction throughout the school.

Miss Bjorkland and Miss Hansson report that a total of 15,416 treat-ments have been given during the Conference year ; and that 19 boys and15 girls have been born in the Maternity Hospital. During the year wavesof disease have swept over our people. Twelve persons have died. Thechildren, with constitutions already weakened by malaria and syphilis

have suffered from pneumonia following upon whooping cough, and 9 of

the 12 deaths have been from this cause. Very good results havo followed

the giving of a therapeutic vaccine to lessen the severity of whoopingcough. Just before Christinas all the school pupils were vaccinated againstsmallpox. Miss Penny and Miss Hansson have classes in nurse's training,

in which two widows and eight girls are receiving instruction. One of theits who died in January was Mayi Jamela, one of the first who was

willing to help Miss Bjorkland in the medical work at Old Umtali. Al-though very ill, she died triumphant in the faith "that soon she was to

meet her King." Miss Bjorkland returned on the 9th of May, beingwarmly welcomed by the native people and her fellow missionaries.

Besides other work she has taken up day duties against in the maternityhospital. She writes, "lam very glad to be back in the work again, andmy hope is that if God spares me, I shall still be used for years to comefor the salvation of the motherhood of Africa."

During the year Baba Greeley has gotten out a revised copy for theRitual which is now at the Mission Press, and a "Short Life of Paul."He has continued his horticulture. Trees and shrubs of his planting andcare are on every side. He tells me that there are on the campus nowover 50 different kinds of trees, 10 varieties of eucalyptus, 75 kinds of

ornamental shrubs and vines, 50 varieties of roses, 25 varieties of ferns,

25 kinds of tropical plants and 25 kinds of bulbs.

IN. Fairfield Girls' School.

Miss Fuller writes as follows concerning the work of the Fairfield

Girls' School:

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS 35

"This year we have seventy-three girls in our standard classes andonly thirty-one in the sub-standard. This increasing number in thestandard work is one of our desires. However a higher standard for

entrance is not the only qualification needed by girls wisbing to comehere. We aim to prepare girls to serve Africa. Those who come withjust the selfish, thought of getting something for only themselves are outof place here.

" In January when our Girls returned from their Christmas vacationthey were happily surprised to find the last part of the new dormitoriesopened for their use. The bath and shower room with eight cementwash bowls, and seven showers ; the ironing room with two large tables onwhich they put their own blankents for ironing their things : and the

prayer-room, where there is a table, three benches and a beautiful

picture of " Christ in Gethsemanc." Here our teacher girls and manyothers go when they want to be alone and pray. All three rooms are usedand greatly appreciated.

"Our orphanage holds the same place of interest and usefulness. Anunusually capable and dependable native girl is in charge under the super-vision of our nurse. It is difficult to find a girl suitable for this respons-ibility so we are most thankful for this one. There are seventeen mother-less children here at present.

"Our sewing, agriculture, laundry and house-work classes haveprogressed as usual. The girls enjoy the change from the literary workand we often hear them singing while in these classes.

"The most wonderful week of the whole year was at Easter time.We shall never forget the marvelous experience of "seeing the salvationwhich He wr >ught among us." And of knowing it was God and not manthat did wonders. Such confessions and restitutions as were made ! Suchconcecrations and rejoicing: And it was no passing fancy. Lives weretruly changed, and our girls have gone home with the burning desire to

carry the gospel to their people and to see them saved.

IV. Altasa and Old Umtali Circuits:

Isaiah Dankwa and John Nduna have done faithful and competentwork on their respective Circuits. Under the proposed Land Apportion-ment Bill, many of the European-owned farms at Nyakatsapa will beincluded in a Native Purchase Area. Our farms are not included in this

Native Purchase Area. This Area will join on to the Manyika Reserve,the Umtasa Reserve North, and the Umtasa Reserve South. Our missionfarms will adjoin this large native area and will be centrally and mostadvantageously situated for missionary work over this extensive area.

V. General

Our experience with the new Dept. of Native Development thus farhas been far from beneficial to our work. While some good legislationand increased grants have resulted since the inauguration of this Dept.its deplorable attitude towards missions and missionaries has caused widedissatisfaction throughout our work, and not ours only, for one hears ex-pressions of dissatisfaction from many missions. One missionary ofanother church expressed a general feeling when he said, " More trouble,more disconteit has arisen in missionary work since this new Dept. cameinto existence than ever before." As a Christian Church we desire tocooperate with every agency which aims to promote the welfare of thenative people. From the earliest days our native churches and schoolshave gone hand-in-hand. We admit that grants ought to be conditionedupon recipient's meeting reasonable conditions and regulations. But


grants can be gained at too high a price, and if independence, joy, andhappiness in missionary work have to be sacrified in order to get them, it

would be better to discontinue to accept them. We are missionaries sentout to preach the Gospel, commissioned by our Church " to make theLord Jesus Christ known to all men as their Divine Saviour."

A card index file of all former pupils of Hartzell Training School ofwhom there is a record is being prepared. With the insertion from now onof new names as pupils leave school, this file should be of value in furnish-ing ready access to the record of any former pupil.

Our hearts were gladdened by the response of the native people to anappeal to help the famine sufferers in China. When this cause was re-

centry presented to them the sum of sixteen pounds was raised and sentto China.

A much needed new mill-house of two commodious rooms has beenbuilt during the year and the old mill-house has been taken down.

When we get into the new school building we plan to have one roomused for a school library. If anyone has books that he is willing to con-tribute for this purpose they will be gladly received.

In conclusion I wish to speak in appreciation of the spirit of loyaltyand good-will, of cooperation and Christian fellowship among our mission-aries during the Conference year. Another year of opportunity to serveGod in Africa is at the threshold. "Forgetting those things which arebehind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before," let us" press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in ChristJesus."

MUTAMBARA DISTRICT

REPORT OF R. F. WAGNER.

Bishop Johnson and Fellow Workers:

It is a cause for profound thankfulness with us that, in and thru thevaried and strenuous activities of the year, we can see and feel thenearness and the deep moving of the Holy Spirit in our own lives, in the

lives of our associates and amongst the people generally thruout theMutambara District. There have been helpful revivals on each of the three

circuits. The fruits of the Easter campaign in particular are reflected

in the increased number of converts seeking admission to the churchin the last two quarterly conferences of the year.

On the Marange Circuit where Rev. Ngonyama is directing a mag-nificent piece of work for his Lord, the line-up of parents with babies to ba

baptized at the April meeting at Mutsago was one to create a lasting

impression on the crowd of over 700 while my own eyes filled with tears

of joy to see so many young lives being consecrated to the Master.Twentyone couples stood up together and made their vows on behalf of

their children.

At Mutambara the April probationers class numbered 32, which is thelargest class I have ever received. In Juno there were 28. The Uintali

circuit where Brother Tho nas Marange is doing most conscientious service

for the Lord, swelled the numbers by adding 87 probationers and 33 full

members during the year besides 57 children who were baptized.

Thus we have for the district the follawing totals for the year;

Children baptized 105Probationers received 233

Adults baptized 139

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORT 37

Our loyal head-shepherd of the Umtali circuit, Rev. Thos. Marange,deserves great commendation for the special meetings of boys, women, andyoung girls which he conducted with rare gift in meeting the special needsof these different groups. I trust his report of them may be carefullynoted though it is ^certain hts modesty will prevent all but the barestfraction of splendid results from coming to light. Nevertheless, thoselasting results have been gained and the whole Church thanks him for

them.It is always a pleasure to attend the quarterly conferences in the

Marange Circuit where the work is moving on as smoothly as a well oiled

machine under the skilful hand of Rev. Reginald Ngonyama. In spite of

the fact that there are only 7 regular pastor-teachers for twelve stationsthe spirit of loyalty that has been maintained, the continuing interest ofthe stewards and people at the neglected places are models which shouthis praises more than any words could do.

At Mutambara too, where some changes were forced upon us we haveenjoyed full co-operation. The Ladies of the W. F. M. S. especiallycommend their native helpers for their loyal and faithful service in a timeof change and stress. With but few exeptions the native staff thruoutthe District has been loyal and steadfast - keeping watch.

Miss McMann returned from furlough in October and took over a goodshare of the school duties thus giving a breathing spell to the otherworkers until things again bunched up at Miss Woodruff's going onfurlough in April. We count ourselves most fo tunate in securing the ableservices of Sister Uys for the Dispensary. Her congenial personality hasbeen a blessing and we regret to have to lose her so soon.

In the ministration to sick of body and limb the nurses have donesplendid work though there have been no serious outbreaks of sickness.

Treatments given:Outpatients 5231Inpatients 1783Obstetrical classes 14

The school has maintained its numbers, there being now 348 enrolled

of which 121 are boarding girls and 70 boarding boys. The village childrenwho make up the remainder of school enrollment have been put under aheavier burden in that all must now either pay a small cash sum or workcertain days for their tuition before each term opens. We have found themwilling to thus help their school and the whole result seems to have beensalutory. Attendance has improved in regularity. Now that the children

know they have paid for their schooling they do not want to lose any of it

The working of the entire gang at one time has also reduced the super-vision needed for their labour.

The group of volunteers ( "Wabvuwi" - fishers ) under Miss Tubbsdirection has maintained a steadying influence within the school as well as

providing a constant stream of exhortersf or Sunday services at twelve pointsout from Mutambara, for Wednesday evening prayer-meeting and Sundayevening meeetings for boarding pupils at Mut.imbara. This group in-

cludes a number of men from the reserves as well as people at the mission.

It has been a joy to preach the word to an increasing congregationat Sunday morning services. With a good choir directed by Silas Kasa-mbira to help, and stewards, teachers, and missionaries earnestly prayingand working we are happy to record tha return to the fold of some of theflock that had been scattered by the wolves.

With the completion of the new kitchens, baths and sanitary equip-ment, the W. F. M. S. now has a splendid plant for caring for the needs of

the boarding girls. The girls gardening work continues to draw high

praise from visitors some of whom come especially to see that work and


the basket making. The housing of the boys still draw demerits but abeginning has been made with one new unit to house 12 boys which hasdrawn interested comment from the Native Development Dept. as well asfrom visitors.

Thruout the District the contributions Of the people have practically

doubled the past halt year over what they were the previous six months.This increased self-support has enabled us to maintain all of the stationsthat had been supplied a year ago and to add a teacher at a new place,

Chakowa, on the Mutambara circuit. Two stations were closed for otherthan financial reasons and another was reopened. Three pastor-teeacherswere sent in December to Old Umtali for further training.

Both farms have produced well this year. The mission farm hasproduced enough mealies for the boys and the girls grew 160 bags. Othercrops include seventy bags of beans and smaller amounts of rice, sunhemp etc. Crop rotation with green manuring and fallowing have beenpracticed to the betterment of the soil. More Lucerne has beeu startedand early plowing done for next years planting.

It has been a strenuous year with class-work, school visitation

at 28 villages, quarterly conferences at three and four places on theDistrict each quarter, special finance meetings, weddings, and the farmmanagement all mixing in together into lively mass. However, it hasbeen a joyful time as well. It has brought me my life partner to bless andbeautify my home and make my life richer as only the touch of the oneright woman can do.

We close the pages of the old year with thoughtfulness and prayer.There have been mistakes but we have tried to build upon rather thanregret them. We dip our pen to write the first pages of the new yearwith confidence, knowing that He in whom we have put our trust will

not desert us.

Conference comes to us at Mutambara as a fitting climax to end theyear. We welcome you. We give Mutambara into your hands for thesefew days and rest,—knowing it is you, not we, who will make conferencewhat it ought to be in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH

We rejoice in the reports of the special meetings throughout theConference in connection with the 1900th anniverasary of Pentecost. Wealso urge that the good results from the special meetings be conservedand that throughtout the conference year emphasis be placed upon spirit-

ual life and experience.We are glad that a vacation course in Evangelism for Local Preachers

is to be offered this year and hope that every possible encouragementwill be given to it.
