1 9 3 ? ] MEDICAL COMMITTEE 3 1

ments, the following findings of this meeting are adopted as our recommendations.

1 . A committee is needed for making a survey of our church council area.

2. This committee should be composed equally of mission­aries and Indians.

3. The committee should assemble certain necessary informa­tion, and afterwards, securing the aid of Bishop Pickett should spend at least three weeks in a survey, including a day or so in each station.

4. The survey should be done on behalf of the Church Council and with the co-operation of the Mission. In the survey the accurate figures as to how many houses there are altogether: how many Christian: and how many non-Christian etc. should be obtained and tabulated.

5. The special suggestions to be kept in mind should be:a. On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Church

Council and with the help of the covering letter or Dr. McGavran, request for financial help should be made to the N.C.C. and to the Mission. In this connection the following things should be kept in mind: 1. Provision for a committee to make the survey,2. Provision for a budget, 3. Provision for co-operation from various stations.

b. Without tarrying until the information from this sur­vey is obtained the Church Council’s Executive Committee through its sub-committee should prepare and print two “ open letters”— one for Mahar people and one for the Mangs— to give witness concerning the Christian religion and encouragement to follow it.

c. The Church Council’s Executive Committee should appoint a committee to arrange for all the matters that will arise in connection with the mass movement. This Committee should provide for such things as instructing elders of churches as to teaching methods; the manners and customs of Christian marriage; the above mentioned letters and their composition and printing; what the Christian festivals are and the manner of observing them; methods of worship; manner of the burial of the dead; and so forth.

6. It is our request that the Church Council’s Executive Committee should as soon as possible give thought to these mat­ters, and start to work.

T H E M EDICAL COMMITTEEThe report of the Medical Committee was amended and

adopted as follows:—37166. The resignation of Dr. Ian Orr was received and

a letter written to the London Missionary Society as follows:—

“ We, the members o£ the Western India Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., desire to express our very great appreciation of the services of Dr. Ian Orr in Miraj Hospital and Medical School during this year.

It is pleasant to reflect that in the past a very large number of students from Neyoor and district have been trained in Miraj, and it has seemed natural and agreeable, therefore, to have one of your missionaries to help in this training at last. We very much wish that Dr. Orr could continue to work with us in Miraj, and it is therefore with deep regret that we find that circumstances do not permit his continuance after January, for reasons that are evidently urgent.

May the London Missionary Society be assured of our deep satisfaction over this present association with us and may we ex­press the hope that this is to be but the harbinger of a continued co-operation and union in the event of the development of the Medical school.”

37167. That the Board be requested to appoint Dr. and Mrs. John Scudder to Miraj as soon as possible in place of Dr. Orr, their names to be inserted in the order of preference for new missionaries.

37168. The report of the Chairman of the Governing Board of Miraj Hospital was received and approved. We com­mend to the Nursing department the provisions of the constitu­tion that the department hold monthly meetings and make a full report of the nursing department to the Governing Board for review at its Annual Meeting.

37169. That certain changes in the constitution of the Miraj Hospital and Medical School be made (See Appendix I, Changes are incorporated in the constitution).

37170 . That a committee composed of Dr. Goheen, Miss Meuttmann and Dr. Frank be appointed to arrange for the divi­sion of work in the nursing department of Miraj Hospital for the coming year— their recommendations for Superintendent of the Nursing School and Superintendent of the Graduate nursing staff to be considered the recommendations of the Medical Committee for these posts.

3 7 17 1 . Reports of the Administrative Committees of the Mary Wanless and St. Luke’s hospitals were received and approved.

37 172 . With reference to I.C. 36 123 we would reply that the Mission has two appointed medical examiners and we believe that they are keeping proper records of all examinations and treat­ments, and of the health of missionaries. Our chief trouble in this Mission has been that missionaries neglect the annual physical examination; or in some cases these examinations and treatments are carried out independently of these examiners at other times.

3 2 WESTERN INDIA MISSION 1 1 9 3 7

Reports of all such examinations and treatments should be in the hands of the accredited medical examiners of the Mission, on the Deccan, Dr. T . M. Frank, and for the Konkan, Dr. R. H. H. Goheen. These examiners are instructed to send a summary of these matters to the India Council before Dec. i, each year. With reference to I.C. 36124, we believe our Mission rules are adequate.

C EN T R A L COM M ITTEE37173 . With regard to Mission actions 36457 and 36415

with respect to last year’s requests for appropriations from the Centenary Fund for the medical work of this Mission, the Medical Committee would point out that this was made out in definite ex­pectation of a large sum allocated for medical work; and with the express idea that various forms of work should be jitt-esented for consideration, and not that we should receive all on .H ie list. For the coming year we would stress the importance of item No. 1 on this list namely the need the need for an endowment for the Medical school.

37174 . We are glad to see the fine arrangements for the disposal of garbage and sewage, and the proper care of fruits and vegetables made this year by the Arrangement Com­mittee with the co-operation of Dr. Fulton.

37 175 . With reference to Mission action 36440, the Medi­cal Committee does not approve of the development of a Mission dispensary or other new Medical work in Islampur with Mission funds.

37176 . In place of f 7 on the preferred list of new mission­aries, we would like to see a nurse for Miraj— Mary L. Goheen.

37 177 . We request that a Doctor for Miraj (Harold Wan- less) be placed on the preferred list of new missionaries.

37178. Estimates Class IX, for the following hospitals were approved: Vengurla, Mary Wanless, and Miraj.

37179 . That the Mission inform the compounders of Navli- hal and Kurli (Messrs. Kadam and' Gaikwad) that the offer formerly made by Miraj Hospital is still open to them, namely that if they return to Miraj they will be retained in the employ of the Mission but that the Mission can accept no responsibility for their Provident Fund in case they elect to stay at their present posts.

37180. That Dr. A. O. Airan’s letter about salary increase be referred to the Registrar.

3 7 18 1. We recommend to the Mission that the annual re­port on the Wanless Tuberculosis Sanatorium be made by the Mission’s representative through the Medical Committee.

37182. The report of the Nominating Committee was amended and adopted (For Chairman, committees and members see list in the front of the book).

1 9 3 7 1 CENTRAL COMMITTEE 3 8

M ISCELLANEO US3718 3 . That a committee of five, of whom two should be

women, be appointed to visit the welfare work at Satara and Kore- gaon with a view to its possible adaptation for use within our Mission area. (See list of committees in the front of the book).

37184. That the Secretary of the Mission be requested to send the greetings of this Mission, through Dr. Weir, to the repre­sentatives of the United Church of Northern India, assembled in Ludhiana to celebrate their centenary.

37185. The point of order having been raised that in ac­cordance with Sec. 89 of the Lakeville Report the departmental committees are not competent to make recommendations to the Mission concerning the expenditure of funds of some part or of all of which a member or members of the committees are bene­ficiaries, the President ruled that Sec. 89 was not applicable to this case as a Departmental Committee is not “ another body” but is the Mission itself. The Central Committee through the Mission requests the Board to give its interpretation of Sec. 89 and to make a ruling on this point of order.

37186. That the estimates of Class VII and Class VIII be referred to the Executive Committee for scrutiny and approval.

37187 . That certain matters pertaining to increases in salaries of workers in Class VII, Nipani be referred to the Agents’ Com­mittee.

37188. The Registrar of the Provident Fund reported that in accordance with m.m. 36242 the Indian contributors to the Provident Fund who were present elected Mr. B. P. Gorde mem­ber of the Auditing Committee for the auditing of the Provident Fund accounts.

reaffirmed action of the Mission 36414, (1).

EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE

37278. That we accept the India Council’s recommendation (I.C. 36194), that a comprehensive study of the work of our India Missions be made by an outside committee, there being a general agreement to accept the decisions of the group making the final study.

37279. (a) That in the judgment of this Mission a periodof forty years’ missionary service, whether this be completed1 at age 70 or at a lesser age, should be held to qualify the missionary for die full pension, if he wishes to retire. And further that the requirement that the missionary continue at his post until the age of 70 be reached— the alternative being a proportionate and reduced pension— is neither a just recognition of his 40 years’ service nor advisable in respect of an efficient missionary personnel. (The negative votes of Mr. Wright and Miss Enright were at their request recorded1).

(b) That we believe the time has come when our Board should face anew the question as to whether, with us, as with various other missionary bodies, the optimum age for retirement should not be 65 rather than 70, and whether such retirement should be attended, as now, with financial disadvantages.

(c) And that we request our India Council to consult with the China and other councils with a view to ascertaining whether or not there is any considerable volume of opinion amongst their missionaries along the above lines.

37280. It w*as agreed by common consent that the Board’s attorney should Teply to the Board and India Council regarding India Council request in I.C. 36242 and Board Letter 104, p. 26, Mar. 16, 1937, regarding the sale of Bazaar Property, Kolhapur.

37281. That we defer action on Dr. J. L. Goheen’s request for more adequate provision for the district work of Sangli Sta­tion until a survey of the work of all station needs can be made and until we hear what centennial funds may become available.

37282. (a) That the Board through the India Councilbe requested to provide passage home to Scotland for Dr. I. M. Orr in Jan. 193#.

(b) That we deeply appreciate the services rendered to the Mission by Dr. I. M. Orr, that we regret that his home cir­cumstances make it impossible for him to remain in Miraj and join the permanent staff, and that we earnestly hope that a change of circumstances may make it possible for him to return at some future date.

37283. That the matter of the survey of property asked for by the American Consul be referred to the Property Committee.

5 2 WESTERN INDIA MISSION [ 1 9 3 7

37284. That the rules be suspended to permit Rs. 100 hot season allowance (1937) for Dr. Orr to be paid out of rent re­ceipts of 1937-38.

37285. In regard to a request from the Methodist Mission that we assume obligation for repaying part of the money spent for Mr. Elia Balekundri’s theological training we reply: It is our understanding that Mr. Elia’s District Superintendent, the Rev. Job P. Karod!, freely and willingly assented to Mr. Elia’s coming over to the work of our Mission and that no conditions, financial or other attended the transfer for which we are very grateful to the M. E. Mission. In the absence of any such agreement be­tween the parties, at the time, and in view of the undesirable precedent which would be established and more particularly in view of our financial straits, we feel that we cannot perceive the validity of this request or recognize that it is binding upon Mr. Elia S. Balekundri or upon this Mission after the lapse of so much time.

37286. In accordance with a request from the B.R.C.C. Educational Committee: that from May 1-21 the bungalow andbuildings at Panhala, with the exception of Faith Cottage, be put at the disposal of the B.R.C.C. for use during a teachers’ training school, provided' an adjustment with our Mission’s educational supervisor is made.

37287. That the Grahams be located at Kolhapur for lan­guage study.

mended that in connection with refresher courses there be provision made for classes in definite guidance in giving religious education, for all who are to teach Religious Education classes.

RESOLUTIONSThe report of the Committee on resolutions was adopted as

follows:— ..37424. That we express our keen sense of appreciation of

Dr. JD. A. McGavran’s services to our Mission in the vision he has given us, the new desires he has created, the old enthusiasms he has revised, and the renewed will and heightened hope with which we face the question of Mass Movements in Western India.

37425. That we again record our deep affection and ad­miration for Dr. Robert E. Speer who has spent many years of his life in service for India. We withhold ourselves from expressions of regret at his retirement because of our thankfulness for all he has meant to us as our adviser, inspiring example and friend, and because of our genuine pleasure in the thought that he may now, with Mrs. Speer enjoy the rest and leisure they have so richly earned. We pray for God’s bountiful blessings upon them both in their beautiful home in Lakeville.

37426. That we extend to John Weir our joy and gratitude for the spirit of friendly co-operation which he has brought into our midst. We pray that the Lord may bless him in his work.

37427. The Mission learns with deep regret that it must now, at length, come to the parting of the ways with a very favorite daughter, Miss Clara Grace Deen.

Coming to India in 1926, Miss Deen speedily demonstrated her determination to make herself mistress of the language *of our area, and proceded to pass with honours, the increasingly difficult examinations. For the last year or two she has been Marathi examiner for the second year candidates.

7 0 WESTERN INDIA MISSION [ * 9 3 7

The most of her service with us has been in connection with the Esther Patton School in Kolhapur, and here she has evidently won the hearts of both staff and students. Her efficiency was enhanced by her study at New York University during her fur­lough in 1932, where she secured her Master’s degree in Psychology and Pedagogy.

Possessed of a keen mind and the ability of an executive, she has long been a member of the Executive Committee and has the past year been an unusually acceptable Secretary to the Mission.

In her work she has been an enthusiast on Indianization as her associates would gladly testify. Her home has also been home to many a student and teacher, and her sympathies have known few barriers or prejudices. The Esther Patton School has pros­pered under her hand.

Only with sadness and reluctance can we bring ourselves to say farewell and God-speed to our beloved co-worker, praying that our Father’s benediction may rest upon her and hers in her future career.

37428. That the Secretary of the Mission be instructed to send special greetings to our former associates who have retired and are now living in America or England.

37429. That the Secretary of the Mission be instructed to send a letter of thanks to His Highness the Maharajah of Kolha­pur State, for his kindness in granting us the use of the State Bungalow at Panhala for the time of our Annual Meeting.

37430. That the Mission extend their gratitude and ap­preciation in a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Simpson for her graciousness in providing for the needs of our Mission family during this Annual Meeting.

STATISTICS

37431. The report of the Mission’s statistician was read and approved. See the Appendix for the detailed summary.

37432. It was decided that Mission figures be used for church statistics rather than those handed in by churches.

37433 - That we request the Church Council Treasurer to supply the information required regarding the finances of organized churches, and to forward it to the Secretary of the India Council before Dec. i , 1937. (See I.C. action 36219).

37434. With reference to I.C. action 36187 that we re­quest the Church Council statistician to supply the information required regarding baptized non-communicants and to forward it to the Secretary of the India Council before Dec. 1,19 37 .

The Dnyanodaya. *37435. The Mission’s representative on the Board of the

Dnyanodaya reported as follows:—1. The Rev. N. Kellock, M.A., served very acceptably as

the English Editor in the absence of the Rev. J. F . Edwards who has now returned to India and is acting as editor of both the English and the Marathi sections of the paper.

2. To the regret of the Governing Board, Mr. D. N. Tilak has severed his connection with the paper. We wish him all suc­cess with ’ ‘ Christian Citizen.” Mr. Tilak’s'

meeting of the Board of the Dnyanodaya this month.3. We recommend that the Mission continue its hearty

support of this influential, 95-year old newspaper in its work of presenting current topics in a helpful manner and that we assure the editor of our appreciation of its finely Christian testimony to the truth.

Kodaikanal School.37436. The Kodaikanal School Committee reported as fol­

lows :—1. The school is in a prosperous condition, Mrs. Powell

having successfully carried on during the absence of Mr. Phelps, the Principal.

2. A chapel in memory of Mrs. Eddy who is regarded as the virtual founder of the school is proposed, in order to provide a suitable place of worship for the school, which the school urgently needs. We recommend that the Mission as well as the mission­aries make a generous contribution for this chapel and request the Board to sanction the use of Rs. 500 from the Kennedy Funds for this purpose.

3. The adjoining property “ Solvik” having been offered for sale the alternative was offered us of buying or of permitting it to go upon the open market. The Executive Council therefore has made an offer and will probably be the purchaser at a price of approximately Rs. 12,000. We recommend that the Board be requested to sanction whatever sum may be our proportionate share out of the Kennedy Funds.

Union Theological College, Poona.37437. The Mission’s representative on the Union Theo­

logical College, Poona, reported as follows:—1. For the year following the completion of the studies

of the class of 1936, the Principal, Rev. J. F. Edwards was ab­

successor presumably be elected at the

sent on leave, returning in June 1937 for the starting of a new class. This has been begun, with some very excellent material, and this Mission has sent two students, Mr. Bhaskar I. Gaikwad and Mr. Dattu K. Dhale. A third student was also sent, pri­vately supported.

2. For the year of the Principal’s absence the usual work of the College was suspended and there were held two special classes or Institutes for different grades of evangelistic workers. These were held for terms of 6 weeks each.

3. It has been found that the physical equipment of the college, both for staff and for students, is far from satisfactory or adequate, and the Governing Board would earnesdy request that the co-operating Missions maintain an open as well as a sympathetic mind with regard to improvements which will be absolutely requisite if the institution is to become as we hope i r will become, the school of the prophets from which most of the pastors of Western India are to come. We are grateful for the sympathy and help of the Mission in the case of the married students’ quarters, and trust that the request made for money from the Centennial Fund may be granted.

Union Training College, Ahmednagar.37438. The Mission’s representative on the Governing

Board of the Union Training College reported as follows:—It was noted that since Rev. H. K . Wright became Principal

in June 1925 the institution has grown from a training school, teaching up through the vernacular final standard into a first class Training College giving first, second and third year training.

The staff has been greatly strengthened, the financial condi­tion of the College is very sound, and the management is carried on efficiently. A substantial reserve fund has been built up through the years.

The enrollment of students is the largest it has ever been.The results in examinations are outstandingly good. Twenty

four of the twenty-five students who took the examination for third year training passed this year, the second year since this class has been started.

The Board of Governors, after careful discussion, took action permitting the Principal to make attendance upon religious wor­ship optional.

It is noteworthy that the Principal of the College is doing a most useful work of publishing, in the Nava Shikshak, of books of abiding value such as ‘ 'The New Light,” and “ How to Teach Religion in Mission Schools.”

An agreement has been drawn up this year between the Board of Governors of the Training College and the American Marathi Mission on the use of the property occupied by the College and
