Historical Sketch.

H IS T O R IC A L SKETCH.
The United Presbyterian Church of North America came into exis­
tence in 1858, through the union of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
and the Associate Presbyterian Churches. The first General Assembly of
the United Presbyterian Church met in Xenia, Ohio, in May, 1859. At
that meeting a Board of Foreign Missions was chosen, consisting of nine
members, and to this Board was committed the care of the several mis­
sions which had been inaugurated by the two branches of the Church prior
to the union. Circumstances, which seemed wholly providential, led to
the abandonment o f three of the missions and the concentration of the
Church’s strength upon the other two fields; the Trinidad Mission was
given over in 1867 to the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces
(now the Presbyterian Church of Canada) ; the China Mission was trans­
ferred to the Rhenish Missionary Society in 1878 ; the Syrian Mission was
transferred in 1878 to the care of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland.
The Mission in Egypt, established in 1854, recognizes at least 9 ,000,000
of the 11 ,000,000 of the population as constituting its legitimate mission
field, and its operations extend from the Mediterranean to the first
Cataract.
‘
'''
The Mission in India, established in 1855, includes within its field,
wholly or in large part, some seven government districts of the Punjab,
with a population of more than 5,000,000; adjoining, though as yet un­
occupied, territory in Kashmir may also be recognized as its legitimate
field.
In 1900, the Mission in Egypt extended its operations beyond the
frontiers of Egypt proper into what is called the Egyptian Sudan. This
mission has now a separate and definite organization of its own, and is
the third and youngest mission of the United Presbyterian Church of
North America.
S T A T IS T IC A L SUM M ARY, 1843-1918.
The whole number of missionaries who have accepted appointment
as missionaries since they first sailed, July 14, 1843, until December 31,
1918, is 454. This includes the missionaries o f both branches of the
Church prior to the Union.
Two hundred and ten missionaries have received appointment to our
Mission in Egypt. O f these, 54 were ordained men, 2 laymen, 5 college
professors, 13 physicians (9 men, 4 women), 6 nurses, 69 other unmarried
women and the remainder were wives o f missionaries. Since the establish­
ment of the Mission 97 have retired or died.
One hundred and ninety missionaries have received appointment to
our Mission in India. Of these 48 were ordained men, 5 college professors,
2 laymen, 8 physicians (1 man, 7 women), I nurse, 74 other unmarried
women and the remainder were wives of missionaries. Since the estab­
lishment o f the Mission 75 have retired or died.
Thirty-six missionaries have received appointment to our Mission in
the Sudan. O f these, 8 were ordained men, 2 laymen, 5 physicians, 1 nurse,
8 other unmarried women and the remainder were wives o f missionaries.
Since the establishment o f the Mission 14 have retired or died.

Or, if the bequest be o f real estate, as follow s:

Those who wish their money to go finally to the missionary cause and
who cannot afford as yet to be deprived o f the income, are asked to con­
sider the Annuity Plan of the Board of Foreign Missions. Wills are often
broken and bequests to missionary societies are lost. By giving your money
to the Board while you live, you become your own executor and avoid the
risk o f a subsequent diversion o f the funds. The Annuity Plan allows you
a reasonable income during life.
Correspondence concerning the above should be addressed to Robert

W h e r e a s , The General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church o f
North America has a Board of Foreign Missions composed of ministers and
laymen, members of the said church, the design of which is the establishing
and conducting Christian Missions among the unevangelized or pagan
nations, and the general diffusion of Christianity.
A n d W h e r e a s , The aforesaid Board of Foreign Missions labors under
serious disadvantages as to receiving donations and bequests, and as to the
management of funds entrusted to them for the purpose designated in their
Constitution, and in accordance with the benevolent intentions of those from
whom such bequests and donations are received ; therefore :
S e c t io n I . Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and is
hereby enacted by the authority of the same :
That James Prestley, John B. Dales, Francis Church, Thomas H.
Hanna, Samuel C. Huey, William Getty, Thomas Stinson, and William W.
Barr, citizens of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl­
vania and their successors, are hereby constituted and declared to be a
body politic and corporate, which shall henceforth be known by the name

C h u r c h o f N o r t h A m e r i c a , and as such shall have perpetual succession,
and be able to sue and be sued in all the courts of record and elsewhere,
and to purchase and receive, take and hold to them and their successors
forever, lands, tenements, hereditaments, money, goods and chattels and
all kind of estate which may be devised, bequeathed or given to them, and
the same to sell, alien, demise and convey, also to make and use a common
Seal, and the same to alter and renew at their pleasure, and also to make
such rules, by-laws and ordinances, as may be needful for the government
of the said Corporation, and not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws
of the United States and this State. Provided always, that the clear and
annual income of the real and personal estate held by this Corporation shall
not at any time exceed the sum of twenty thousand dollars. The Corpora­
tion or persons above named shall hold their offices for three years from
the date of this act, and until their successors are duly qualified to take
their places who shall be chosen at such times and in such way and manner
as shall be prescribed by the said General Assembly of the United Presby­
terian Church of North America. The said Board hereby incorporated and
their successors shall be subject to the direction of said General Assembly
of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, have full power to
manage the funds and property committed to their care in such a manner
as shall be most advantageous, not being contrary to law.

HE report which follows is the First Triennial Report of
the Board of Foreign Missions following the Annual
Report of 1916. Since the writing of the last Annual
Report the United States has had an active part in the
great world war. Its army and its navy have participated in the
bringing of a righteous conclusion to the great struggle. Its
statesmen have spoken vigorously in the councils of the nations
where have been laid foundations for a new international social
structure. America is now, as never before, one of the greatest
determining factors in all world events.
Through the years of the world anguish of the war God
has wonderfully kept our Mission Fields from loss of property
and of life. The ocean voyages have been through ways of peril
and missionaries have more than once been in extreme danger,
yet not a life has been lost. In the fields there have been crises
that were extreme, yet there has been no property damaged. Not­
withstanding the turmoil and unrest, the work of the Missions
has gone forward almost without interruption.
12
Triennial Report.
Out of all the peril and loss of the war there have come
some things that are clearly an asset to be prized in the work of
world evangelization. Every effort must be made to conserve
these things for which such a price has been paid.
There is a new jneasure of devotion and sacrifice. What
the world has been pleased to call America’s idealism has not
stopped short of the measure of sacrifice that calls for a man to
lay down his life for others. It is easier to appreciate other
Christian ideals in such an atmosphere of Christian thinking.
There is a new place of leadership accorded to America by
the whole world and particularly by the weaker nations and those
that are called more backward. Taken at its present flow the tide
of America’s influence may tell mightily for the betterment of the
whole world.
There is a new appreciation of spiritual values. Millions of
people have in their thinking been driven back to God. The apex
of mere physical and material resources and possibilities seems
frequently to have been reached and man looked out beyond these
for deliverance from present and pressing evil.
There is a new appreciation of Christianity. The combined
forces of evil seemed rushing to a mighty triumph on the battle­
fields of Europe and Asia. There was deep concern lest the war
should be laid at the door of the religion of Jesus Christ. Instead
of this, those nations have with discrimination judged between
the essence of Christianity and the excrescences of Christian
civilization and are turning to Christianity as the deliverance from
a repetition of the tragedy.
There is a new spirit of nationalism among the nations of
the world. This is the inevitable result of the spread of the doc­
trines of justice and liberty given to the world by Jesus Christ.
The greatest political problem in the world today is the readjust­
ment of the world to this new thinking in these old nations and
such a readjustment as will preserve to them these newly sought
rights without precipitating a new disaster upon the world through
the putting of new wine into old bottles.
There are new and perplexing missionary problems at home
and abroad. Adjustments must be made that are radical. Some
traditions that are precious must be abandoned. Fresh lines of
activity must be followed. An adequate standard of progress
must be adopted. In the midst of all this change the Church can­
not forget an unchanging devotion to its unchanging Lord W ho
is the same yesterday, today and forever.

IN AMERICA.
H RO U G H O U T these three years a prayerful, ceaseless
effort has been carried on to make the cause of foreign
missions better known, better loved, and better served
in the Church at home. As to the means employed, the
methods used and the results accomplished, considerable informa­
tion will be found in the following paragraphs, but let it be re­
membered that results cannot be fully estimated or recorded here.

T H E F O R EIG N M ISSION S H A N D B O O K .
The Handbook has becomc the Board’s most popular printed
presentation of its work. Each year we have labored to make
it interesting, helpful and attractive, and during the years covered
by this Report at least 65,000 copies have been placed in the homes
of our people, the distribution having been made on the basis of
a copy for every seven members of the Church. W e are con­
tinually coming upon the fniits of this little book.
H E L PS F O R PASTORS.
It has been the constant desire and aim of the Board to pro­
vide pastors with up-to-date facts from our own and other mission
fields and with suggestive outlines and illustrations for mission­
ary addresses. T o this end we have prepared every three months
and mailed free of charge to all our pastors a four-page “ Pastor’s
Cablegram” bearing directly upon our own foreign work and con­
taining material for their exclusive use. W e have also purchased
and mailed to our clergymen without cost each issue of “ Mis­
sionary Ammunition for Pastors,” a similar publication,, but cov­
ering the whole field and containing a large amount of rich mis­
sionary material prepared by the Foreign Missions Conference
of North America.
TH E M IS S IO N A R Y C O N V O C A T IO N O F JAN U ARY, 1917.
This was held in the First U. P. Church, North Side, Pitts­
burgh, and was perhaps the greatest foreign missionary meeting
our denomination has ever held. From forty-seven presbyteries
there were enrolled as delegates 1657 persons. The attendance
was undoubtedly over 2000, counting those who did not enroll
as delegates.
The demand for the Convocation grew out of the conviction
that the Church was facing a most challenging unmet need and

at the same time a quickly passing opportunity in her foreign mis­
sion fields. In 1903 our missionaries in India, Egypt and the
Sudan, who then numbered ninety-one, appealed to the General
Assembly meeting in Tarkio for four hundred and eighty-five mis­
sionaries in addition. This call was made on the basis of one mis­
sionary for every 25,000 of the 16,000,000 souls in our foreign
fields. The Assembly of 1903 endorsed the appeal and called the
Church to rise and occupy these fields for Christ. Thirteen years
passed by and a net gain of only seventy-eight workers was real­
ized, leaving four hundred and seven still to be found. With new
determination and devotion this Convocation attacked the remain­
der o f the task and launched what has since come to be known
as the “ 407” Movement, which is a movement to find and send
out enough more missionaries to make at least a net gain of four
hundred and seven and to increase our annual gifts of money to
foreign missions by at least $828,652.00.
R E L A T IO N S H IP W IT H T H E C O N V O C A T IO N C O M M IT T E E .
This is the continuation committee of the Convocation and its
business w'as set forth by the Convocation in the following words :
“ To keep before our Church the ideals that have here pre­
vailed w’e recommend the appointment of a Continuation Com­
mittee. This Committee, through our Church papers, magazines
and other literature, shall keep before us the goal of immediate
occupancy o f our field; shall call a convocation similar to this as
their judgment may dictate, and use any and all other legitimate
means to realize this end.”
Four officers of the Foreign Board are members of the Com­
mittee and the Associate Secretary serves as its Secretary. Drs.
J. K. McClurkin, J. Alvin Orr, J. A. Thompson, W . B. Ander­
son, C. R. Watson; Messrs. Fred MacMillan, George C. Shane,
E. M. Hill, W. P. Fraser, J. E. Nelson, Mills J. Taylor; Mrs.
George Moore, Mrs. J. P. White, Mrs. H. C. Campbell, and Miss
Anna A. Milligan are the members of the Committee.
By helpful counsel, by prayer, by messages addressed to our
people, through personal letters to pastors, through articles in
our Church papers, by financing Pastors’ Conferences, and in
many ways this Committee has rendered valuable assistance to
the work o f our Board.
T H E “ 407” M O V E M E N T.
Soon after the great Missionary Convocation in Pittsburgh,
January, 1917, the Board prepared a twenty-five page booklet,
entitled “ 407,” to set forth the ideals o f the “ 407” Movement.
This was distributed throughout the Church liberally and pro­
duced excellent results. The four hundred and seven lives needed
and their financial support were apportioned among the sixty-six

presbyteries of the Church according to the numerical strength
and each presbytery was asked to find and send out and support
year by year its share. The Presbytery of Keokuk was the
first to accept its share ; soon others followed and on December
31st, 1918, nine presbyteries had so done, thus becoming respons­
ible for seventy of the “407,” nine of whom they had found and
sent. A “ 407” Prayer League, composed o f hundreds of Chris­
tians who have covenanted to pray definitely for the “ 407,” has
been formed in the Church and their prayers must prove a strong
factor in finding the missionaries and the funds.
M IS S IO N A R Y V IS IT S AN D IN ST IT U T E S.
This has proven to be one of our best methods of informing
and arousing the Church to her foreign mission task. The unit
of operation is the presbytery. Each congregation is visited by
a team of two or three missionaries. After every congregation
has been visited a miniature Convocation, patterned after the
great 1917 Convocation, is held in some central place where a
delegation of at least ten per cent, of the membership of each
congregation gathers for a program of a night and an entire day.
The institutes have discovered a number of new missionaries,
increased contributions by thousands of dollars, and at the same
time paid for themselves in their offerings.
V IS IT S T O C O LLEGES A N D SEM IN ARIES.
Each year representatives have visited our educational insti­
tutions in the interests of our work and we can safely say that
the past three years have witnessed a marked advance of interest
in foreign missions on the part of students generally. There are
strong bands of volunteers and contributions of money from the
students have never been so large as today.

The Honorary Corresponding Secretary, Dr. Charles R. Wat­
son, has continued to be of much help to this Board, especially in
its councils and interdenominational contacts. The Foreign Mis­
sions Conference of North America has held its annual meet­
ings and at these our Board has been adequately represented. In
the work of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement several mem­
bers of the Board have participated. W e have been well repre­
sented at the meetings and in the work of the Missionary Educa­
tion Movement by our Educational Secretary, who is one of its
directors. In March of 1918, Dr. Watson braved the subma­
rine dangers and sailed for England arid the Continent to assist
in caring for the interests of the Continuation Committee of the
Edinburgh Missionary Conference. Again during the winter of
1918-1919 he visited England and France and with Dr. John R.

Mott was commissioned to represent the foreign missionary in­

Protestant missions in other lands as well as India, Egypt and
the Sudan.

Some changes have taken place in the Board’s secretarial
force and in the division of administrative duties.
In the spring of 1917, Rev. Neal D. McClanahan withdrew as
Associate Secretary and Rev. James K. Quay was elected by the
Board to serve in that capacity. Up to November 17, 1917, the
Corresponding Secretary, Dr. W . B. Anderson, and the Associ­
ate Secretary, Rev. James K. Quay, shared the administrative
work. On that date Mr. Quay, who had been under appointment
to Egypt since 1915, withdrew, expecting to sail at once. Pass­
port difficulties detained him till February, 1919. The Rev. Mills
J. Taylor, pastor of the Second Church, Monmouth, Illinois, was
elected by the Board to the office of Associate Secretary. Mr.
Taylor resigned his pastorate at Monmouth, December 31, 1917,
and took up his work in the Philadelphia office on January 10,
1918. Miss Anna A. Milligan was chosen by the Board to fill
the office of Educational Secretary and began her work January
12, 1918. Her salary is being provided by friends who are in­
terested in the development of the educational work of the
Board. Now the administrative work is shared by three Secre­
taries instead of two, a division of the work which makes possible
better and greater results. Dr. Charles R. Watson has continued
to serve the Board as Honorary Corresponding Secretary, for
which he deserves the thanks of the Board and the Church.
September 29, 1918, marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the election of Mr. Robert L. Latimer to the Treasurership of
the Board of Foreign Missions and on the anniversary of this
event the Board took the following action:
“ The Board observes with great satisfaction that Mr. Robert L.
Latimer has completed a term of twenty-five years as Treasurer of the
Board, having been elected to this position September 29, 1893.
“ W e desire to put on record our appreciation of Mr. Latimer’s
long, faithful, and efficient service in caring for the foreign missionary
funds of the Church.
“ W e express it as our conviction that it is owing largely to Mr.
Latimer’s wise and careful handling of the funds entrusted to him
that the Church’s liberality has been stimulated and increased, and the
credit of the Board has reached its present high standard.”

Foreign Board by arrangement with the Executive Committee oE
the Y. P. C. U. They assigned it to be used by our young people
instead of the Christian Union topics of April and May, 1918.
In addition to this book prepared by our own Board, we have
supplied and urged the study of, particularly, “ The Lure of A f­
rica” and “ Ancient Peoples at New Tasks.”
M ISSIO N ST U D Y CLASSES.
Special effort has been made each year to encourage the or­
ganization o f mission study classes. Hundreds of classes have
been reported, and in addition to these our correspondence and
sales would lead us to believe that there have been many other
classes that were not reported. The Board counts the multipli­
cation of these classes one of its most worthy efforts.
SUM M ER CONFERENCES.
In spite of war conditions and the great difficulty of making
necessary arrangements, the Missionary Conferences have been
held each year at Tarkio and New Wilmington. The attendance
has been good and the spiritual tone very good. The programs
have been unusually fine and the results of the Conferences most
gratifying in the dedication of life to Christ.
The educational feature has been emphasized in all the Con­
ferences. The best mission study textbooks have been used in
the young people’s class, the women’s class, and the men’s class.
Presentations have been worked out to visualize the messages
of the different book studies and these have been very effective.
T H E S A B B A T H SCH OO L.
During the three years, three quarters have been assigned to
the cause of foreign missions by the General Assembly. And the
Board has made special efforts to assist the schools to improve
these opportunities in the best possible way. Two consecutive
quarters from April 1 to October 1, 1916, were first given, and
the months of October, November and December of 1917. The
course prepared by the Board for the first of these quarters was
entitled “ Hoist the Flag in the Sudan.” For the second quar­
ter, “ Hoist the Flag, Series No. 2” was provided with a map
showing Egypt and India and a flag pole on each arranged with
two movable flags to indicate the offerings o f the school. A book­
let of five-minute stories on native life and work in Egypt and
India to be given by the pupils of the schools was prepared and
used.
For the last quarter we prepared what was known as
“ The African Conquest Course,” using a chart printed in green,
black and red, with a portion of Africa cut out and a red shutter
inserted which was to be run on the thermometer principle. With
the map there was issued to every Sabbath School a booklet con­
taining thirteen lessons entitled “ African H e ^ Stories.”

Inasmuch as the United Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis­
sions is one of the Foreign Boards co-operating in this union en­
terprise for a Christian University at Cairo, the Board of Trustees
of the University have submitted to it each year a report. From
these reports it is apparent that God is prospering this worthy
enterprise.
In the fall of 1916, Rev. Charles R. Watson, D.D., whom the
Board had elected President of the University, went to Egypt in
order to make definite arrangements for the beginning of activi­
ties there and in the kind providence of God was there with his
father and mother a few days before his father’s death.
On January 25, 1917, Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Cleland and Mr.
and Mrs. W- Carl McQuiston went from America to Egypt to
spend some time there in preparation for leadership in the de­
partments of the University’s work. They arrived in April and
are still there completing their preparation. For a period dur­
ing the war. Mr. Cleland was released to go with a relief expedi­
tion into Palestine to minister to the sufferers there, and Mr. M c­
Quiston spent a year in relief work at Port Said with the British
Red Cross.
Prof. R. S. McClenahan, President o f Assiut College, has
been released from the Mission in Egypt to take up work with the
University during his furlough in America. He will be able to
bring to the University his many years of rich experience in
Christian education in Egypt.
Dr. Watson returned from Egypt in the summer of 1917 and
was able to report very marked progress in his mission to correlate
the plans of the University with Government plans fpr education
and with other plans for education and Christian work in Egypt.
During the period of the war Dr. Watson was called upon to
devote large portions o f his time and energy to the Y. M. C. A.
war work, visiting the Continent several times and later he was
sent on a mission to the Peace Conference at Paris on behalf of
the Committee of Reference and Counsel of the Foreign Missions
Conference o f North America.
The changes that have taken place in the Moslem world,
working complete revolution in the entire structure of Islam, make
a very vital period in the work o f the Christian Church for the
Mohammedan world and illustrate more and more the immediate
need and strategic importance of this Christian University at
Cairo.
The Board of Trustees is very anxious that the Church
should pray to God that He would quickly complete this instru­
ment and furnish the life and money necessary to equip it effi­
ciently for a mighty service.

During the past three years the transportation of missionaries
and securing permission for them to enter their respective fields
have continued to be matters of much difficulty requiring careful
thought and management. The Atlantic route has been practic­
ally closed. With a few exceptions in the early part of 1917 all
our missionaries have been compelled to travel by the Pacific
route, which has added enormously to the cost of transportation.
We are thankful, however, that no lives were lost.
The only serious mishap at sea was that experienced by El­
eanor Maconachie, of India, whose vessel was sunk an hour after
leaving port. Miss Maconachie escaped, however, and ultimately
reached America, though she lost all her baggage.
Because of the extreme expense of travel several missionaries
who seemed able to remain longer were detained in the fields
many months after furloughs were due.
Three of our missionaries under appointment have been ren­
dering service in the U. S. Arm y; namely, Rev. Paul M. Ander­
son (Captain) ; Dr. J. Gregory Martin (Lieutenant, Medical
Corps) ; and Miss Llewella J. Snyder (Red Cross Nurse).
The following missionaries have been compelled for health
reason» to resign from the service: Rev. and Mrs. H. Ray Shear,
under appointment to Egypt, and Dr. Chester H. Elliott, under
appointment to Jigypt; Rev. and Mrs. C. C. Adams from Egypt,
Dr. and Mrs. W . T. Mowp from Egypt, Miss Marion A. Paden
from Egypt, Rev. and Mrs. r . kt Crawford from India, Miss
Cynthia E. Wilson from India, and Mia~ Margaret M. Wilson
from India.
During the past three years death has removed four of our
missionaries:
Miss Nannie J. Spencer died in Murree, Rawal Pindi District,
India, September 4, 1916. Miss Spencer began her work in India
in 1894, and during her devoted service of almost a quarter of a
century she had become one of the most valued workers in that
field. She was a daughter of Rev. W . E. and Rachel Hays Spen­
cer and a sister of Rev. J. H. Spencer, of Wooster, Ohio; Prof.
H. W . Spencer, of Tarkio, Mo., and Mrs. A. H. Baldinger, Pitts­
burgh, Pa. Probably no missionary in the fields has ever more
completely won the confidence of all missionaries and all Indians
than Miss Spencer did. Humanly speaking, her loss to the Mis­
sion is irreparable.
Dr. Andrew Watson died in Cairo, Egypt, on December 9,
1916. Dr. Watson arrived in Egypt in 1861 and had been fifty-five
years a missionary when he was called to his reward. For years he
has been the dean of missionaries in Africa by virtue of his age
and of the position accorded him by common consent on account of
his experience, sound judgment, devotion and personality. Marked
honors were paid to his memory by Government officials and the

people of Egypt, while the Mission and the Church mourn his
death as that of a father. In every form of Mission and ecclesias­
tical activity he has been a great leader and counsellor. As a
professor in the Theological Seminary he has had a part in the
training of the entire ministry of the Church of Egypt. He was
widely known in interdenominational missionary circles and was
a member o f the Edinburgh Conference in 1910. In 1890 he was
Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church. In the loving plan of God, his son, Dr. C. R. Watson,
arrived in Egypt just a few days before his death. Only eternity
can reveal the meaning of this wonderful life of devotion to the
Church of Christ in Egypt.
Mrs. T. E. Holliday died at Ludhiana, India, December 28,
1917. Mrs. (Lena May Hayes) Holliday went with her husband
to the field of India in 1889. She has been an earnest worker in
the field among the women of India and an ardent advocate of
the missionary cause all through her life of service. Being a
woman of unusually winning. personality and of marked talent
she will be missed by a large circle of friends, both American
and Indian, and will leave vacant a place in the mission force dif­
ficult to fill. Her daughter, Miss Eleanore Holliday, has been
appointed to India and is on the field.
Rev. W . R. Coventry died at Americus, Kansas. April 7, 1918.
Mr. Coventry was a graduate of Grove City College and Xenia
Theological Seminary. Immediately upon graduating in 1900
he sailed for the field in Egypt. Shortly before sailing he was
married to Miss Lydia ridle Junkm, who died after nine years
of sendee in ^ 67 pt.' In 1914 he was married to Miss Mary Kerr,
o f the Egyptian Mission. Mr. and Mrs. Coventry came to Amer­
ica on a regular furlough in 1916. Mr. Coventry was not in good
health, yet planned to return to Egypt. On the eve of his de­
parture for the steamer he was taken seriously ill, and in a few
weeks his earthly service was finished. He was an evangelistic
missionary with peculiar gifts in other lines that had been of
great service to the Mission. He possessed the skill o f an archi­
tect and drew the plans for several important buildings. To his
initiative and unwearied effort, the Mission owes those valuable
evangelistic agencies, the Delta Boat “ Allegheny” and the Delta
Car. He had been particularly interested in the plan for the com­
plete occupation of the field and had done some unique service
in survey work and the preparation of charts. He was looking
forward with keen interest to cooperation in the securing and
placing of the “ 407.” His call came for some higher service.
Miss Emma L. Williams, a teacher of music in Pressly Me­
morial Institute at Assiut, died on December 23, 1918, of pneu­
monia following influenza. She went to Egypt in 1915 and from
that time rendered most efficient service and entered into the
missionary spirit of the institution. She was a short term worker

W A R E M ERG EN CY CAM PAIGN.
When the Board reported to the Assembly of May, 1918, it
was with a deficit in its current budget of $80,957, more than
half of which had accumulated during the previous year on ac­
count of the increased cost of administering its business, particu­
larly transportation in war times and under war prices.
The Corresponding' Secretary addressed the General Assem­
bly about the grave concern with which the Board viewed its finan­
cial situation and sought from the Assembly a method of more
direct appeal to the Church for the funds needed. The result
was the appointment by the Assembly o f a Committee, consist­
ing o f the Secretaries and Associate Secretaries of the Boards
participating in the budget and of the Secretary of the Missionary
and Efficiency Committee, to arrange for a special W ar Emer­
gency Campaign for funds for all the Boards. This Committee,
with which the Secretaries of the Board cordially worked, made
all preparations for and completed the Campaign in the fall and
winter of 1918. A serious epidemic of influenza swept the coun­
try, taking an immense toll of lives and raged at its worst in
■whole sections o f our Church when the Campaign was at its
height. Nevertheless, the people were generous, the Lord was
our strength, and the result was the complete liquidation of the
Board’s deficit o f $80,957, the meeting of the excess cost of ad­
ministering another year of work in war time and the closing

o f our financial report a year later with over $10,000 in the treas­
ury. In addition to accomplishing this amazing result for the
Foreign Board, the Campaign answered completely the financial
calls o f the war emergency budgets of all the other Boards like­
wise.
FINANCES.
The three years covered by this Report have been years that
mark a financial struggle and triumph.
In the year 1916-17, the total receipts of funds applicable on
the budget were $270,111, or $7,966 less than the previous year.
The expenditures were $273,096, adding $2,985 to the deficit,
which thus became $39,681.
The decline in receipts of this year compared with the pre­
vious year was due to two facts: First, a smaller amount by $15,984 was received from bequests and matured annuities; and sec­
ond, the Board did not appeal for a special fund.
During that year gifts from congregational sources increased
bv $2,449, but were still $25,789 below the high-water mark of
1913-14.
In the year 1917-18, the total receipts o f funds applicable on
appropriation were $270,305, or $194 more than the previous
year. There were available also the following funds: Balance of
Milton Stewart Fund, $10,488 ;New Missionary Fund, $2,289;
balances from fields, $6,180; making a total of $289,262 available
for budget expenditure. The expenditures were $330,538, add­
ing $41,276 to the deficit, which became $80,957.
The over-expenditures of this year were due almost wholly to
war conditions, such as longer routes of travel, enormous ad­
vance in cost of transportation, reverse of advantages in exchange,
and the advance in the cost of all commodities.
During the year receipts from congregational sources declined
by $1,211 compared with the previous year. This is accounted
for by the fact that in the previous year the Sabbath Schools
contributed to the Foreign Board through two quarters. Re­
ceipts from these sources were $26,990 below the high-water
mark of 1913-14.
In the year 1918-19, the receipts of funds applicable on ap­
propriation were $293,033, or $22,728 more than the previous
year. There were available also the following funds: from the
Milton Stewart Fund, $12,808; from the W ar Emergency Fund,
$130,442, making a total of $436,283 available for budget ex­
penditure. The expenditures were $344,694, reducing the entire
deficit of $80,957, and leaving a balance on hand of $10,632.
While a part of the increase in expenditure during this year
was due to an increase in the force, the great part was due to in­
creasing demands of war conditions. The large increase of re­
ceipts from congregational sources and the heroic measures of
26
Triennial Report— In America.
the W ar Emergency Fund secured the supply of funds for the
needs o f the year, the cancellation of the entire deficit, and a bal­
ance on hand.
During the year there was an advance in receipts from con­
gregational sources of $21,189 compared with the previous year.
Receipts from these sources were still $5,801 below the high-water
mark o f 1913-14.
These years cover a period that was truly a critical time in the
financial history of the Church’s work abroad. The attention of
the world was centered in the great war, and every effort was be­
ing made to finance it. It did not seem reasonable to suppose
that people should be asked to increase their gifts to mission
work in the midst of such a strain. Yet the conditions brought
about by the war made imperatively necessary the expenditure of
enormous sums in addition to the regular estimates. Two courses
were possible, the curtailing of expenditure by the reduction of
work, or an appeal to the Church to meet the needs notwithstand­
ing all other demands from other quarters. The wisdom of the
Church’s having adopted the second course is now apparent.
Not only have these years brought to the cause a crisis in
financial matters, but they have ushered in a new era in missions
which will require new standards to be adopted and new estimates
of the needs of the fields to be made. In the new day the old meas­
ures of need and response will be wholly inadequate. Already
the Church is thinking in larger terms and is in some measure
prepared for the new demands that must be made upon it.
While the Church has responded generously to the call for
help in the hour of crisis, it must be remembered that the brunt
of the financial burden has fallen upon the missionaries person­
ally. A t the beginning o f the war their salaries were necessitat­
ing their living almost at the limit o f reasonable sacrifice. When
the war came the advance in prices in the fields caused them to
feel the pinch at every turn. This difficult situation has been
met without a murmur, and without any request for relief. In
1918-19 the General Assembly granted a war bonus to each mis­
sionary, $100 to each family, and $50 to each single missionary,
but the action of the Assembly of 1919 calling for a review of the
salaries o f the missionaries with a view to making them adequate
was timely.
During the year 1916-17 the following funds have been es­
tablished :
The Busta Bey Khayat Memorial Fund. Principal, $1,000.00.
Given by his children. The income to be applied for support of

The Board has given expression repeatedly in these years to
its profound gratitude to God for the quickening o f the spirit of
generosity in the Church and for His deliverance from difficult
financial situations.
SPECIAL THANKS.
The Board records its thanks to God for His protecting care
over the work abroad through a term of three years. Notwith­
standing the dangers of travel by sea, the unusual burdens pro­
duced by the war, and the perils of situations created by political
unrest in the fields, the lives and property of the Missions have
been preserved from harm and loss.
The Board also records its thanks to God for the abundant
provision for its financial needs through the W ar Emergency
Campaign and the generous response of the Church to the urgent
call of need in a time o f crisis. It is with true gratitude for
divine help that the Board enters the service of the fields abroad
in this new day free from debt in its current budget.
The Board wishes to express its gratitude to all those who
have answered the call to special service through their gifts and
their prayers. Among them the following should be specially
mentioned:
1.
The Women’s Board has continued to carry its great bur­
den o f the support o f the lady missionaries in the field. With­
out the loyal and devoted leadership in the women’s work and
30
Triennial Report— In America.
the unstinted sacrifice of the many thousands of women through­
out the Church this great department o f our foreign service would
not be possible.
2. The Church periodicals: The United Presbyterian, the
Christian Union Herald and the Women’s Magazine have been
most generous in the space given to the cause of foreign missions.
It is through the columns of these periodicals perhaps more than
by any other means that the Church is kept informed concern­
ing its work abroad.
3. The Columbia Hospital, of Pittsburgh, has been most
generous in its care of missionaries who have returned on fur­
lough in need of medical aid. The Church is much indebted to this
institution for doors always open to the help of those needing
medical assistance, and is also indebted to those who have made
provision for such care of missionaries through endowments in
the hospital..
4. T o a host of individuals, congregations and other organi­
zations throughout the Church the Board also wishes to express
its deep gratitude for the financial aid which they have given
through the year. Some o f them are not even known by name
to the Board. The names o f many others, while known to the
Board, will never appear in any public list. In very many cases
their contributions bear the mark o f sacrifice. They seek no ex­
pression o f thanksgiving, but the Board wishes to record its grati­
tude to them.

The following are the Formal Actions of the General As­
sembly in connection with the Reports of the Board of Foreign
Missions:
Boston, Mass., 1917.
1. That we approve and commend the efforts put forth by the
Board through convocations, the Handbook, and similar methods
to acquaint the Church with the needs of the world which lies in
the “ wicked one” and to arouse an interest and excite enthusiasm
in the Church to such an extent as to bring her to realize her duty
and privilege in this most vital matter until she shall be willing
and ready to come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty.
2. That this Assembly take some immediate and definite steps
toward devising methods and means by which the debt of this
Board and o f every other Board of the Church which rests as a
nightmare upon each succeeding Assembly and upon the Church
at large and which is as a millstone hung about the neck of our
Boards, to cancel each and every debt, if possible, before the meet­
ing o f the next Assembly.
3. That the men and women nominated to the Assembly by
the Board o f Foreign Missions and the Women’s Board to the
foreign fields be sent out and that their sending be left to the
Board.

5. That this Assembly ask for the prayers of the whole
Church in behalf of this Board and all the agencies and actions
of the Church, also the Cairo University; especially so on account
of the world conditions that are confronting and challenging her,
that she may be given the spirit of wisdom and of revelation and
of supplication.
Pittsburgh, Pa., 1918.
1. That we bow before God in humble and grateful recogni­
tion o f His manifold favors to us in our foreign work.
2. That we express our thorough confidence in our Foreign
Board and its administration of the work committed to it.
3. That we commend its Secretary, Dr. W . B. Anderson,
for his untiring, unselfish and wisely considered efforts.
4. That we heartily approve the action of the Board in call­
ing into its work as Associate Secretary the Rev. Mills J. Taylor,
and as Educational Secretary Miss Anna Milligan.
5. That we earnestly urge upon the ministers and laymen
o f our Church the great value o f the missionary conferences
which are held at Tarkio and New Wilmington; also those held
under the auspices of the Home Board at Xenia, Monmouth and
Sterling; and also the one held at New Concord.
6. Believing that the system of Church finance to which we
are now committed is flexible enough to permit war emergency
measures, we therefore recommend the appointment of a Com­
mittee on Ways and Means to provide a method of more direct
appeal to the Church, this Committee to consist of the Secretaries
of the Board and the Secretary of the Missionary and Efficiency
Committee. The Committee shall terminate with next year’s Gen­
eral Assembly unless reappointed.
7. That we commend the Cairo University with the great
work which it contemplates to the sympathy and support of the
Church.
8. That we approve the Board’s plan o f proportionate dis­
tribution, whereby it is seeking to realize its program of 407 new
missionaries, as a sane and practical plan and one which should
receive the hearty co-operation o f the Church.
9. That we endorse the appointment of the following per­
sons who have been approved by the Women’s Board for appoint­
ment as missionaries:
Miss

10.
That we hereby call the entire Church to importunate
prayer, seeking the wisdom which is from above for the Church
of Jesus Christ and God’s people in this unparallelled church
crisis.
Monmouth, 111., 1919.
1. T hat in view of the fact that Robert L. Latimer, Esq.,
having on September 29th last, rounded out twenty-five years in
the service o f the Church as Treasurer of its Board of Foreign
Missions, the Assembly instruct the Moderator and the Clerk to
convey to him a suitable expression of appreciation on behalf of
the Assembly and the Church.
2. That, while regretting the loss of President R. S. McClenahan, o f Assiut College, from our direct missionary force
in Egypt where he has served so capably for twenty years, yet
we recognize the honor and opportunity that have come to him
in being called to be Dean of the College Faculty of the Amer­
ican University of Cairo, and we bid him God-speed.
3. That the Assembly recognize with gratitude the progress
made in the interest of the American University of Cairo as noted
in the report, and that we again commend that great enterprise
to our people for an interest in their prayers and their g ifts; also
that we express our appreciation of the presence of President
Charles R. Watson in this meeting, and invite him to address the
Assembly in connection with the adoption of this report.
4. That the Assembly repeal its action of a year ago requir­
ing the Board to forward its material to Pittsburgh to be printed
for the Assembly volume of reports; it being understood that it
will have the work done in such form and in such time as to en­
able it to forward the report to the Clerk to be bound with the
said volume of reports.
5. That we approve the budget for the year presented by the
Board (this calls for $401,534, but amounts are provided for
outside the budget to such an extent that only $23,688 is required
from the ordinary sources above the amount available last year
36
Triennial Report— In America.
from the budget). Provided, however, that if during the year
it should be apparent that funds are not forthcoming for the sup­
port of this plan, the Board will instruct the fields to reduce their
work so as to obviate incurring a deficit. But on the other hand,
if funds should become available sufficient to warrant such ac­
tion, the Board may expand its work to the limits of the estimates,
proposed by the fields.
6. That the persons nominated by the Board for service in
the foreign fields be appointed by the Assembly, namely:
T o Egypt,
Miss Mabel Blair Dickey (reappointment)
Mrs. Mary Kerr Coventry
Miss May Evelyn McFarland
Miss Fay Elsie Ralph
Miss Elizabeth Alice Speer
Miss Ethel Lois W eed
Miss Florence Lillian White
Miss Esther Willis Wilson
Rev. and Mrs. Charles Clarence Adams (reappointment)
Lieut. Col. W m. John Bell, M.C.
Rev. and Mrs. James Alexander Pollock
T o the Sudan,
Miss Mary Elder Coie
Miss Aulora Rose McIntyre (reappointment)
T o India,
Miss Mary Frances Lincoln
Miss Florence Tomaseck
Miss Florence Catherine Waddell
Mrs. J. Gregory Martin
Rev. and Mrs. Fred J. Mitchell
7. That in view of the advantages and economies to be
gained through co-operation along certain lines with the Foreign
Boards o f the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches in America;
and in view of the fact that already certain tentative arrange­
ments with these agencies have been worked out by our Board,
we recommend—
(a ) That the General Assembly approve the principle of
co-operation involved.
(b ) That it instruct the Board o f Foreign Missions to pro­
ceed with the development of the plan.
( c ) That if the central organization can be effected accord­
ing to agreeable conditions, the Board be authorized to elect from
among its members its proportionate share of the members of the
new Agency.
8. It is the conviction o f your Committee that the time has
come when the salaries of the Secretary and the Associate Secre­
tary should be adjusted to meet the requirements of the condi­
tions under which we live; we recommend that this matter be
referred to the Committee on Finance with the recommendation
that these salaries be adequately increased.
Triennial Report—In America.
37
W e call attention to the fact that the term of office of the
^following members of the Board expires with this meeting: Chas.
S. Cleland, M. G. Kyle, W. M. Anderson, George Innes.
Respecting the Memorial from the Convocation Committee
asking that the Assembly call the Church to prayer for a specific
object:
Your Committee recommends that the petition be granted,
and that Sabbath, October 19, be designated as a Day of Prayer
in behalf of the “ 407” Movement.
Regarding the matter of salaries of missionaries which was
referred to your Committee for consideration we would report—
1. That we believe the salaries should be increased.
2. That no funds are available to warrant our recommend­
ing an increase this year.
3. W e learn from representatives of the Board that last
year a W ar Bonus was paid in the amount of $100 to each mar­
ried missionary, and $50 to each unmarried missionary; and that
they plan to do the same thing this year.
4. W e recommend that the Assembly authorize the Board to
■double this bonus in each case, provided it can be done without
necessitating retrenchment, or creating a debt.
5. W e recommend that the Assembly direct the Board to
make a careful survey of the whole matter of the missionaries’
salaries, in co-operation with other Boards with which relations
of comity are maintained, with a view to raising the salaries to
a comfortable basis.

During these three years, almost to the close, our work was
still carried on under the black cloud of war. Yet we record
with deep gratitude the fact that in all the fields the work went on
without interruption or serious hindrance, and with many marks
of God’s favor. Dozens of our missionaries have traversed dan­
gerous seas during these years, but in only one case has any mis­
hap actually befallen any of them.* Miss Eleanor Maconachie’s
boat was sunk by a mine off the coast of Ceylon on her homeward
journey in the spring of 1917. She suffered the loss of all her
baggage, but escaped herself unharmed. Many have been com­
pelled to make the long journey by the Pacific, involving weari­
some delays and large expense. But all have reached their des­
tination in safety. Incidentally it has given to some of our Egypt
workers the rare opportunity of visiting our field in India.
The following have returned to their fields after furlough:
In 1916, Miss Ida Whiteside to Egypt, and the Misses Laurella
G. Dickson, E. Josephine Martin, Josephine L. White and Hazel
Bennett to India. In 1917, the Misses Ida L. Cabeen, Helen J.
Ferrier, Elsie M. French and E. Roxy Martin, and Mrs. Nannie
M. Finney to Egypt, the Misses Elizabeth McCahon, Laura B.
Hamilton and Henrietta Moore to India and Miss Elsie Grove to
the Sudan. In 1918, Miss Margaret A. Bell and Mrs. Mary K.
Coventry to Egypt, the Misses Mary J. Campbell, Roma B. Beatty
and Lois Buchanan and Doctors Maria White and J. P. Simpson
to India. Mrs. Finney and Mrs. Coventry are really new mis­
sionaries as far as our Board is concerned, as they are returning
under a new appointment; but in view of the service they have
already rendered on the field in company with their husbands,
we have placed them in the above list.
The following have gone out as new missionaries: In 1916,
the Misses Florence A. Hutchison and Jeannette L. McCrory to
Egypt, the Misses Marietta Hamilton and Louise E. Scott to
India, and Miss Emma M. McKeown to the Sudan. In 1917, the
Misses Beulah B. Chalmers and Mary L. Thompson to Egypt
and Miss Sara A. Moore to India. In 1918, the Misses Sara M.

Adair and Dora B. Mason to Egypt, the Misses E. May Caldwell,
Kate E. Spencer, Mary Lois Boyd and Eleanore K. Holliday to
India and the Misses Una Coie and Kathryn MacKenzie to the
Sudan.
Two o f our young women in India have been transferred
to the list of the Foreign Board during this period, Miss Ethel
Wilson having become the wife of Rev. J. H. Colvin, and Miss
Jeannette Hopkins the wife of Prof. C. A. Stewart. W e pray
God’s blessing upon the new homes which they have founded.
Two others have resigned from our work to become the wives
of clergymen of the Church of England, Miss Emma McKeown
of the Sudan, who has married the Rev. Herbert Rivington, of
the Gordon Memorial Church in Khartum, and Miss Sadie
Thompson of Egypt, who is to marry the Rev. E. F. F. Bishop,
Chaplain of Weymouth College, England. W e wish them the
richest blessing in their new fields of labor. Miss Beulah Chal­
mers of Egypt has also resigned because of her engagement to
a member of the Royal Flying Corps. W e shall miss all these
workers, but our warmest wishes go with them.
W e regret to report that one of our young women in Egypt,
Miss Roe Williams, and two in the Sudan, Miss Fannie G. Brad­
ford and Miss Aulora R. McIntyre, have been obliged to retire
from the work for health reasons. Miss Carrie M. Buchanan,
who came home on furlough in 1916, owing to continued ill
health, has been unable to return to her work in Egypt. Her
many friends will feel deep sympathy for her in this trial. Miss
Mary J. Campbell has been loaned to the W orld’s Women’s Chris­
tian Temperance Union for a term of three years as organizer
of their work in India. In view of Miss Campbell’s success in
similar work within our own field, we hope that this will mean
much for all India.
One name has been taken from our roll by death during this
period. For twenty-two years Miss Nannie J. Spencer served
her Lord faithfully in India, when the Master said, “ It is enough,”
and called her home. A sketch of her life and work appears else­
where.
The total number o f missionaries in the foreign field sup­
ported by our Board at the close of the year 1918 is eighty-eight.
The large response that is being made to the appeal for the “ 407”
assures us that we shall soon be able to make large additions to
this number.
And just how much work is now supported by the Women’s
Board ? For answer read the following lists :

pages which follow. W e gratefully acknowledge “ the good hand
o f our God upon us” and His presence with us in all that we have
attempted. It has been a great regret to us that Tanta hospital
in Egypt has been closed for these three years, as war conditions
made it impossible to complete the work on the building and se­
cure the necessary equipment. Now that peace has come, we
hope it may soon be reopened. For similar reasons, the erection
of the new Girls’ Boarding School in Tanta has been delayed, al­
though the full amount of money needed is on hand. In the
meantime, after careful consideration, it has been found advis­
able to make a change of location. A very desirable plot of land,
comprising ajx»ut five acres, just across the boulevard from our

hospital has been purchased. It will be remembered that the orig­
inal lot was in the center o f the city and contained less than half
an acre. It is expected that the latter will easily be sold for the
full amount of the purchase price. This change will doubtless
mean much for the comfort and the development o f the school.
The Sudan Government gave us a plot of ground in Wady
Haifa on which a new school building of three rooms has been
erected through the generosity of a friend and named for him the
William Little Day School for Girls.
Owing to the greatly increased cost of living, a 10 per cent,
increase of salary has been granted to all our missionaries as a
war bonus. But despite this and many other increases of expendi­
ture, particularly in travel account, we have been enabled to close
each year with a balance in the treasury. Although so many other
calls have come to the women of the Church during these years,
our receipts have been larger than ever before.

2. W e ask these societies and their individual members to
join with us all during the coming year in a special league o f

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Miss
R en a
L . H ogg.
Mission work has been carried on in Egypt by the United
Presbyterian Church o f North America continuously ever since
its first missionary, Rev. Thomas McCague, reached Cairo on
November 15th, 1856(4) Organized work for women and girls may
date its beginning from the arrival of Miss Sarah B. Dales two
years later.
During the entire period 194 men and women have been set
apart for the work, of whom 71 were men, 61 missionaries’ wives,
and 62 unmarried women. The missionary career of many has
ended often little beyond the threshold o f their work. At pres­
ent the force, including those on furlough, numbers 102, of whom
33 are men, 31 missionaries’ wives, and 38 unmarried women.
Since 1896 there has been increasingly in vogue a system of
three-year appointments for work that demands no knowledge of
Arabic. At present our temporary appointees from America and
Britain number twenty-three.
In 1854 the population of Egypt was estimated at eight mil­
lions, two years ago at twelve. O f these all but about one mil­
lion are Mohammedan. That the unaccomplished task of the
Church, numerically considered, has increased by almost one-half
during sixty-four years of effort, shows that she has not faced
her venture with the generous and far-seeing calculation and lav­
ish expenditure o f life and property with which not only she, but
the world has faced the task of war.
Much, however, has been done that statistics fail to indicate
and incalculable forces have been brought to the front of which
the succeeding pages will tell. In reading one should contrast
present conditions with those revealed by the landmarks of the
past that were hailed in their day as evidences of stable progress
worthy o f an “ Ebenezer.”
The labors of the first five years led but four converts to
unite in communion with the missionaries in September, 1859.
During the last three years 2430 have been received.
Four years after the first communion o f Egyptian converts
an evangelists’ class was formed, and in 1864 this was developed
into a Theological Seminary and an Evangelists’ School.
In 1870 the first fully organized congregation of the Egyp­
tian Evangelical Church came into being, and the Presbytery of
Egypt which had had only missionaries as members became an
Egyptian institution, while the first Egyptian pastor was ordained

the following year. Since 1899 the Egyptian Church has con­
sisted of four presbyteries, a fifth being added with the growth
o f the work in the Sudan, forming together the Synod of the
Nile, and having under its direction all those activities that we
associate with such a body in the home land.
Along other lines the contrast is equally striking.
Medical work was spasmodic up till 1891. Now with one
hospital closed for lack of doctors and the other undermanned,
we yet hear of 3000 in-patients and 33,000 free out-patients treat­
ed in one year.
In place of four schools founded during the first decade of
the mission’s history we find now one hundred and ninety-six,
small and large, with colleges at their head and a university in
prospect, while the extent to which Christian literature has per­
meated the country it has long been beyond human power to com­
pute.
In many a Coptic community a spirit has been evoked mak­
ing for reiorms and where persecution was once rife many a
Coptic pulpit now invites the missionary. Ever since 1882 a par­
allel movement has been discernible amongst Mohammedans also,
and while the antagonism of multitudes remains unabated, count­
less doors once closed are now open to us which for lack of mis­
sionaries we cannot enter.
Egypt— Introduction.

INTRODUCTION.
N eal D . M cC l a n a h a n .
The events described in the following pages have taken place
within the period of the great war, and while no phase of the
work has been unaffected, yet world events which in one depart­
ment have proven a hindrance in another department have fallen
out rather untothe furtherance of the gospel.
Passing by the effects of the war w'hich manifest themselves
either in increased or decreased incomes and expenditures let us
point out two facts which, because of their bearing upon the pres­
ent and future, stand out as twin peaks.
The first is the entrance of America into the war. The days
of the missionaries previous to this event were marked by fre­
quent explanations if not apologies. The men of England with
whom we are thrown, and with whom we desire to maintain the
most cordial relationship, could not but feel that they were pour­
ing out their blood and treasure to preserve blessings which we
enjoyed equally with them. With the proclamation of the jihad
or holy war, who, either as a Christian dwelling in Egypt or as
one interested in the Christian work being carried on in Egypt,
did not thank God for the mighty line of England’s sons who at
fearful cost were blocking the onrush of fire and sword. But
once the Stars and Stripes took their place alongside of the Union
Jack, all tendency to resentment vanished and a new spirit of
comradeship began to manifest itself. Later when the American
boys at the front and the folks back home showed that America
was ready to make the supreme sacrifice for righteousness, our
position became enviable. Today many an Egyptian peasant who
cannot pronounce our President’s name yet points to him as the
great friend of the oppressed. Recently a writer in Arabic racked
and wrrenched the words Doctor Wilson that they might rhyme
with Arabic endings, while he gave expression to a feeling com­
mon among the people that God had raised up our President and
his people to save the world from the iron heel of the tyrant. In
48
Egypt— Introduction.
other words, as a great asset for the future, the American Mis­
sion has an increased prestige both in the eyes of England and
of Egypt.
On the other side of the ledger the fact which leads all the
r,est is the unavoidable shortage of workers. Many have been
necessarily detained in America past the regular time for their
return and God has called from our numbers some of our ablest
workers. Others on the field being compelled to carry extra work
have paid the price in broken health. Few new recruits have
been secured. The splendid hospital buildings at Tanta, whose
ministry has been so sorely needed, have stood with their doors
closed. Never have the fields seemed whiter and the laborers
fewer. T o the young people who read the following pages there
must come a challenge to examine afresh their life plans to dis­
cover if God has not a place for them on the frontiers o f His
kingdom in Egypt. T o parents who, with such magnificent sac­
rifice gave their sons to face death that righteousness might con­
tinue, there must come the call to give their sons and daughters
that the kingdom of righteousness may be established in Egypt.
The land which poured out her wealth with such abandonment
in defense o f the oppressed, shall she not also give gladly that
sin’s oppression may end and the Prince of Peace be brought to
rule throughout the length of the land of Egypt ?
One final word— In behalf of those who represent you in
this land let me express our deep appreciation of the loyal sup­
port which you have given us in the past and ask for a continu­
ing place in your prayers and interest. Thus united may we all3
be true to Him Whose we are and Whom we serve.

IN MEMORIAM.
Hnbrew Wlatson,
UH.2>.
Born in Perthshire, Scotland, F e b r u a r y 15 , 1834.
Entered the Mission Field November 27, 1861.
Died in Cairo, Egypt, December 9, 1916.
The Mission in Egypt sustained a great loss since the last
Report was written in the death of her oldest missionary—and
probably the oldest in all Africa— Dr. Andrew Watson. For
fifty-five years he had given himself to the work in Egypt. His
service almost spanned the history of the Mission. There were
but twelve members when he arrived, five men with their wives
and two unmarried women. When he was laid to rest, they num­
bered several score. There were but six members in the infant
Egyptian Church when he cam e; when he left the membership ex­
ceeded 13,000. He was the last link, among the men, with the
early days, and when he was called home the mission felt that it
had been orphaned.
In his eighty-third year he was still bearing his part in the
work with undiminished enthusiasm and almost undiminished
strength. His great work was in the Theological Seminary in
Cairo which he helped to found in 1864. Every one of the ninety-five pastors and licentiates serving in the evangelical Church
at the time o f his death passed under his training. He counted
them his sons. His life was built into their lives. They are his
abiding monument.
But he was also a great preacher. He loved to preach the
gospel, especially in the Arabic language. And few could use
that tongue so eloquently and persuasively. He published in 1897
his history of the American Mission in Egypt, a valuable work,
marked by his characteristic painstaking and accuracy. He was
a skilled accountant, being often called in to disentangle the ac­
counts of others. He was long the representative of the Mission
and the Egyptian Church before government officials. He be­
longed to the class o f men called missionary-statesmen. He had
a keen comprehension of political questions, and moved with dig­
nity and ease in the presence o f the highest officials and the great
ones of earth, many of whom counted it an honor to be guests in
his home.
As a man and a Christian his influence in Cairo and all Egypt
cannot be measured. An English government official said that
Dr. Watson never entered his office, but he felt himself the bet­
ter man for the visit. The editor of the leading Arabic daily in
50
Egypt— In Memoriam.
Cairo testified at the memorial service that for thirty years he
had seldom written an editorial without asking himself, “ What
will Dr. Watson think of it?” He was a man o f clear and strong
convictions, unswervingly loyal to God’s truth and message, and
ever zealous in the cause of righteousness.
Many honors came to him, but he remained the simple,
humble, faithful, warm-hearted servant of God. His sympathies
were broad and his friends many. No building in Cairo was
large enough to hold all who mourned his loss and desired to pay
him honor by attending the funeral services. Papers of other
sects printed long and appreciative eulogies.
It was a rare gratification to him and to all who knew him
that his son, the Rev. Charles R. Watson, D.D., so ably filled the
office of Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis­
sions in Philadelphia during the last fourteen years of his father’s
life. The father delighted to speak of the son as his “ chief.” It
was surely a special token of the goodness of God that brought
this son to his father’s side in time for sweet fellowship during
the last days.
While the loss to the Mission and the Church is inestimable,
our hearts praise God for the long, rich life o f service given him,
and for the priceless legacy o f his character ¿nd example.
IRev. TO. 1R. Coventry.
Born at Frankfort Springs, Pa., November 1 1 , 1873.
Arrived on Mission Field 1900.
Died at Americus, Kansas, April 7, 1918.
Rev. W . R. Coventry spent most of his missionary life, cov-ering a period o f sixteen years, in the Monsurah and Tanta dis­
tricts. He was in charge of the evangelistic and educational work,
with all the varied details which that involves. At the same time
he was ever devising plans for the fuller occupation of these
large fields.
One of his first plans was to visit the towns and villages along
the river and canals o f the Monsurah district by means of a boat.
A small native sail boat was secured and fixed up with two beds
in the sides, some boxes for tables and cupboards, oil and alcohol
stoves and a canvas roof, and many villages, never reached by mis­
sionaries before, were thus visited. These trial trips in a sail­
ing boat demonstrated two things: First, that a boat could be used
very advantageously, and secondly, that it should be a vessel pro­
pelled by steam or other motive power. Accordingly Mr. Coven­
try began to plan for a permanent power vessel and worked per­
sistently until his plans were completed and funds were secured
for the construction of the boat.

Mr. Coventry’s next plan was to make use of the net-work
o f lines forming the system of the Egyptian Delta Light Railways
in the Tanta district; and through his efforts a suitable car, con­
taining a kitchen, dining and sleeping room and bath was built.
O f this achievement one of his friends said, “ He lives in the Delta
Car which he planned and whose every part is a tribute to his
foresight. It should be called ‘The Coventry,’ for it is Coventry
alive and at work.”
One day he came into the meeting of the Missionary Asso­
ciation with a “ blue print” which contained what one of the older
missionaries described as “ the best plan for the occupation of the
field that I have ever seen.” He had studied the map of the Tanta
district most carefully and then marked out centers for evange­
lists from which they could visit all the villages in their circles
without traveling long distances. These centers could be reached
by the missionary on the Delta Car and the entire district effec­
tively supervised.
Among his last efforts Mr. Coventry formulated a scheme
to secure permanent property in the various centers of his dis­
trict for evangelistic and educational w ork; planned and super­
intended the enlargement of the Tanta Hospital building; drew
plans for the new Girls’ Boarding School in Tanta and outlined
a plan for the reaching of sections of his district which had been
neglected because of their distance from lines of communication.
One who knew him best says, “ He was a true friend and a pleas­
ant companion of us all, ever ready to lend a helping hand. W e
shall all miss him greatly. Lives like his are not measured in
years, but in deeds. So while he is dead he yet speaks, and as
long as these agencies which he initiated or furthered are carried
on he will be speaking.”

Born in Denison City, Texas, April 24, 1880.
Entered the Mission Field, August, 1915.
Died in Assiut, Egypt, December 23, 1918.
In August. 1915, Miss Emma L. Williams came to Egypt.
Her appointment was as a teacher of music in the Pressly Me­
morial Institute of Assiut. From the first, her influence began
to reach beyond the limits of her appointment. All who became
acquainted with her recognized that she possessed large gifts, that
hers was the soul of a true musician; but gradually another fact
began to attract the notice of all who knew her, namely, the com­
pleteness with which these large gifts were dedicated to the ser­
vice of others. In her ministry for others she attained forgetful­
ness of self.
52
Egypt— In Memoriam.
Miss Williams was bom in Denison City, Texas. Her father
was a physician. Her musical training was received at Provi­
dence, R. I. Later the family moved to Seattle, where, nine years
ago, the father died. For years Miss Williams desired to be a
missionary. And three and a half years ago when she learned of
the need in Egypt for a teacher of music, and the possibility of
bringing her mother, she gladly accepted the appointment. A c­
companied by her mother, Mrs. Priscilla Williams, she came and
for these years gave herself to the work. She had made applica­
tion to become a life worker, and had been appointed, but before
the word reached her she was taken sick with bronchial pneu­
monia, and after one week of suffering passed into the presence of
her Lord.
Miss Williams was a true daughter. Her first concern was
that her mother might be happy. T o this end she labored while
in health, and in the midst of her suffering she asked repeatedly
that her mother might be spared all unnecessary anxiety. When
her mother told her that she would soon be going to be with the
Lord, the daughter added. “ Yes, mother, and Jesus will be with
you too.”
She was a devoted worker. She was ready for every ser­
vice and never refused a request because it was not among the
prescribed tasks. When others would have sought recreation,
she labored on. When she drew near to the end of the pathway
of earthly service, she was heard to say, “ Yes, I am glad to go,
but I am not satisfied with my work.” Her ideals lay beyond
reach of her strength.
She was a true Christian. She sought to serve, not to be
served. She sought like her Lord to do the will of Him W ho sent
her. Miss Williams lives in the life of her fellow missionaries
as she calls them on to a larger measure of devotion. She lives
in the lives o f the great number of Egyptian young people whom
she loved and served, as she calls them to ministries of unself­
ishness and Christlikeness.

ALEXANDRIA.
Equipment—W . J. Robinson Memorial Church; in the Attarine quar­
ter, a commodious four-story building in which are the resi­
dences of the missionaries, the offices of the General Treasurer
of the mission, the office of the American Bible Society, the
general book depot and local book store, the boys’ school and
the Central Girls’ School; in the Haret el Yahud quarter a
building unsuitable for residence of missionaries and rapidly
becoming unfit for mission use.
The Beheira province in which Alexandria is located forms
the Alexandria district. Beheira province is the northwest cor­
ner of Egypt, the west branch of the Nile is its eastern boundary,
and Gizah province its southern boundary. This district has an
area of 1745 square miles and a population of 1,331,630. Out­
side of Alexandria the population is practically all Egyptian, the
only marked exception being the Bedouin Arabs, who number
about 120,000. Alexandria contains representatives of practic­
ally every European nation, religion and language. The Greek
naLion has the most numerous representation of the Europeans,
but the Italian, French and British are well represented, lurks.
Armenians and Syrians are the principal Asiatic representatives
and people from the Sudan and further south in Africa are not
lacking. It is the presence of all these peoples that makes Alex­
andria cosmopolitan, polyglot, and the most progressive and oc­
cidental of all North African cities, Algiers excepted. Many
languages are heard on Alexandria’s streets. However, one is
not ill-equipped who speaks English and Arabic, or French and
Arabic, but the one who speaks the three has a distinct advan­
tage. The people of this city regard it as nothing remarkable for
one to use any number of languages up to a dozen.
Alexandria has a population of 444,617, seventy per cent, of
which is Mohammedan. These have eighty-two mosques and
prayer places. Twenty-eight churches for various nationalities,
languages and sects serve the Christian population. Eleven are
Roman Catholic, eleven are Orthodox Catholic and six are Trotestant, of which only one ministers to the Egyptians. Two syna­
gogues serve a large Jewish population.
It is in this great center that the work of the mission has
been concentrated. This great Mediterranean seaport, the com­
mercial capital of Egypt, through which ninety per cent, of the
nation’s exports and imports pass, is no small field for mission­
ary endeavor. Because of its commercial influence throughout
the land it is a strategic point of attack. In spite of the number
o f churches found, there is no attempt, outside of the mission
centers, to evangelize its needy people, and the city is not ade­
quately occupied from a missionary standpoint.
In the remainder of the district there is no work carried on
by the mission. Within that area are found two large cities, one
with a population of 40,000, the other of 17,000; three hundred
56
E gypt— A lexandria.
and ninety-eight towns and villages and 3000 hamlets. Twentyone o f these towns have a population of five to ten thousand;
two hundred and twenty-three have a population of one to five
thousand; and fifty-four have a population of five hundred to
one thousand. Practically all o f these towns are accessible. Six­
teen are stations on the Egyptian State Railroad; sixty-seven
are stations on the Delta Light Railroad; fifty-one are on main
roads; thirty-four are on the river or a navigable canal; and
seventy-three are within two miles of some one of these means of
travel. There are eight provincial towns suitable for missionary
centers, from which roads or railroads so radiate that the whole
could be occupied.
The Alexandria station was opened in October, 1857. The
mission staff has grown, the work expanded, small beginnings
developed, but the staff has never been able to keep pace with the
needs, ideals, or possibilities. Four years ago nine regularly ap­
pointed missionaries were in the station, today we number six,
no one o f whom has been on the field more than ten years. In
the death o f Rev. T. J. Finney, D.D., the work sustained a great
loss. A worker, a leader, a counselor, a father, rich in worldly
and spiritual experience was taken from us. His place with the
people and with us has not been and cannot be filled. His faith­
ful devoted service has enshrined his memory in the hearts of
those who loved him, his labors are memorialized in the work and
buildings of this station.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Since August o f 1914, Egyptian affairs have been closely
linked with the great war. Though not actually engaged herself,
yet with a strong enemy upon her eastern border, and with thou­
sands of soldiers quartered within, she could not but be profound­
ly influenced by the course of events. Many feared that because
of the war, and the sympathies of the big majority of the people,
our mission’s work would be either stopped or curtailed. But as
Egypt is the land of paradox our work instead of stopping, con­
tinued; instead of being curtailed, it was enlarged. W e feel God
has rebuked our weak faith in what He has done [or us.
W e are often asked, “ How do you think the war will affect
your work?” W e answer from what it has done. The war has
made Egypt exceedingly prosperous. For her rich crops of cot­
ton and cereals her people have received vast sums of money.
Many who have been ground down with poverty all their lives,
are wealthy as a result of the war. But with prosperity has come
worldliness. Many think only of acquiring more wealth. The
spirit o f the greater part of the people is reflected in the reply of
a \oung civil engineer when asked about his spiritual life since
leaving one of our mission schools several years ago. He said,
“ I have left religion, the reading of the Bible and praying, be-
Egyp t— AI ex andria.
57
cauce I am getting rich now, and find I do not need these longer.”
There is no district in all Egypt, where that spirit of worldliness
is stronger than in the great commercial city of Alexandria. By
so much as wordliness has increased here, by so much has the
difficulty o f our work increased.
The outcome of the war, for which we are grateful, will also
have an effect. It is true that the breaking of Turkey’s political
power has destroyed one of the chief pillars of Moslem self-righteousness and pride— one o f the chief difficulties we meet in seek­
ing to lead them to accept the lowly Master— yet it has been re­
placed by resentment and anger. Some, by the destruction of
their belief in Turkey’s invincibility, will be made more accessible,
but access to the hearts of many has been made more difficult, as
we are already finding out.
To meet the needs of this great city, and the populous dis­
trict, we need a greatly increased staff of workers. But instead
o f being increased our mission force has been decreased. W e
have, however, received reinforcements in the ranks of our Egyp­
tian workers. For many years we prayed for these and sent our
estimates to the Board, but each time they were returned “ not
granted,” and we almost gave up hope of ever receiving funds.
Then God raised up a deliverance for us from an unknown source.
Some man in America, interested in missions, gave our mission
several thousands of dollars “ for direct advance evangelistic
work.” in which Alexandria shared to the extent of $900. With
this sum we were able to secure three evangelists and open places
for meetings.
The first place opened was in Karmuz, in the southern sec­
tion o f the city. W e had had service there in the girls’ school
for a number of years, but there was not satisfactory progress
because Ave had no regular worker who could visit the people in
their homes. After we secured a regular evangelist, the work
went forward by bounds. So steadily have the numbers grown
that we hope to be able to organize a second church in this city.
Another section in which the work has progressed as a re­
sult of securing a permanent evangelist is K afr el Ashari, the rail­
way freight center of the city. The work here is being carried
on bv a blind evangelist, who is one of the humblest, sincerest
Christians we have in our Egyptian Church. Recently, at a meet­
ing when a large number o f Moslems were present, he preached
upon John 3:16. Few verses contain more stumbling blocks for
the Moslems than this verse, but so tactfully, so lovingly did he
handle it that one Moslem, at the close of the meeting, said: “ I
never heard a Christian talk like that.” The work here suffered
for a time because of the many changes in the railway employees,
many o f our best members being sent to other parts of Egypt, yet
the work is building up, and has recently taken on new life.
58
Egypt— Alexandria.
The army has brought great numbers of young Egyptians
to Alexandria who are employed as clerks in the various depart­
ments. Many of these were once students of Assiut College and
we were gratified to have a number of them request a service on
Sabbath mornings before they went to work. There is additional
satisfaction in receiving such a request, because so many young
men from the provinces are swallowed up by the allurements of
this wicked city. Infidelity, too, is the fashion with many of the
rising generation, who regard it as a mark of advanced education.
Another center was opened at Bakus, a suburb east of the
city. In many respects this work is proving most difficult, yet
we have many encouraging features. Several of our Christian
families live here and form a nucleus for the meetings.
Recently work was begun by the Synod in a large village a
few miles south of the city. A Moslem convert who was an ex­
slave was put in charge. The reports of his work were most in­
teresting. Every night a band of men gathered in the meeting
place and read and talked together, frequently till midnight. But,
just as the work was getting well organized, the worker con­
tracted typhus fever and in four days passed away. W e have
been searching for a suitable worker for the place, but until now
have not discovered one. W e need to pray that God may not
only send out the “ 241” missionaries to superintend the work in
these places, but that He will raise up from the ranks of our Egyp­
tian brethren those who are fitted to do the work. There are
scores and scores of such villages needing workers just now.
The missionaries in Alexandria have had a large part in
ministering to the soldiers. This, though added to our regular
work, has been a help and inspiration to us.
The work of the Central Church under the direct care of the
Synod of the Nile is developing. Three new elders were chosen,
which has resulted in added power and influence. When the war
broke out great numbers of refugees came to Alexandria. W e
were besieged with beggars on every side. The Church organized
a benevolent society with a strong membership, which took upon
itself the careful investigation of every needy case, and the rais­
ing of funds to meet the need. This work has been a blessing to
the Church and a help to those to whom most o f the beggars
came for relief.
But what is the outlook? When we consider the greatness
of this commercial city, its intense worldliness, Sabbath-breaking,
and immorality, the outlook is dark. When we look to the few­
ness of the workers, both missionary and Egyptian, there is room
for discouragement. But when we look to our home Church, our
base of supply, and see the determination with which it is set­
ting about to send as reinforcements, many times as many as are
at present on the firing line; and when we look up to Him from
Whom cometh our aid, and think o f His power to redeem Egypt
Egypt— Alexandria.
59
and His promise to do so, then we take courage and go forward.
Women’s W ork— The Bible work for women in Alexandria
is carried on in four quarters, namely, Karmuz, Raghib Pasha,
K afr el Ashari and Haret el Yahud. The average number of
regular pupils for the last three years has been three hundred.
This does not include irregular hearers. W e have three Bible
women and are greatly in need of others. The greatest need of
our work for women all over Egypt is consecrated women will­
ing to do harem teaching. In the last year work has opened up
very well in K afr el Ashari and we are adding to the number
of houses every week. W e have a goodly number of Mohamme­
dans receiving teaching, but they are sometimes lost through lack
of tact. W e are constantly trying to impress on our Bible women
that the one great object of our harem work is to bring women
to Christ.
The superintendent holds a weekly meeting with the Bible
women for study of the next week’s lesson. Once a month we
meet and reports are given, difficulties discussed, encouraging facts
mentioned and salaries paid. A fter tea and a social talk, we
close with a season of prayer. W e find that this meeting is a
great help in keeping in personal touch with our workers. Our
great need is more workers.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Central Girls’ School— The past three years have been years
of increase and development, especially in the matter of enrol­
ment and tuition. Here as elsewhere, early in the war, those in
charge of schools looked forward to each new year wondering
what it would bring forth of success or failure. Conditions in
the country were abnormal and prices high. It would not have
been strange if parents, seeing none too plainly at best the neces­
sity for educating their daughters, had decided that in war times
education was a luxury and not to be afforded. But the actual
facts were quite contrary to anything we could have foreseen
The closing o f many European schools because of war conditions,
and the increased and still increasing popularity of English as a
language, have brought us many European girls, who pay well
and widen our sphere of influence greatly in this very cosmo­
politan city. These girls are receiving daily Scripture lessons
just as are the regular pupils who take the whole course in Eng­
lish and Arabic. Our Egyptian and Syrian constituency has
made real sacrifice to keep its girls in school. So that both en­
rolment and tuitions are larger than when we last reported.
One strong feature of the school is its kindergarten, taught
by Syrian teachers who have been trained in the school under
American graduate kindergarten teachers. The atmosphere in
the kindergarten, its spirit of loving service, gentleness and cour­
tesy gives its blessing to the whole school. W e are rejoiced that
60
Egypt — Alexandria.
Miss Dora B. Mason, appointed to special kindergarten work in
Egypt, has arrived and will make this her headquarters, superin­
tending the local kindergarten and starting a training class for
teachers. This has been a need long felt and becomes increasing­
ly urgent as standards o f education advance.
The girls’ thank-offering last year was the largest in the his­
tory of the school, and their monthly missionary meetings, b'oth
junior and senior, have been good. Christmas, all through the
war, has been observed as a “ giving” Christmas, and the chil­
dren have learned many valuable lessons of sacrifice and service.
W e look backward with thankfulness and forward with courage,
asking your prayers for an outpouring of the Spirit upon the
teachers and girls that they may give themselves in love and loyal­
ty to Him Whose they are, and Whom we would see them serve.
Kafr cl Ashari Girls’ School— In thinking over the past three
years at K afr el Ashari there is much for which to be thankful.
The school has outgrown the two rooms it occupied and now
uses five. In the last report you read o f the Moslem opposition
with which we had to contend. There still exists opposition, but
not so much, and this fall fourteen new Moslem children entered
school. Today Fatma, a Moslem girl, came back. Her father
took her out o f school last year because she told him Jesus loved
her.
The Ivair el Ashari school is comparatively a new school
and had a small beginning. It has only three years in its course.
The girls, as they complete the course, often go over to the Cen­
tral School to continue their education. Last year three com­
pleted our course, two o f whom went to the Central School. They
lived about half way between the two schools. This coming year
there will be a class of twelve. The majority of them live right
near the K afr el Ashari school, and I fear their parents will think
the Central School too far. If there were funds to get another
teacher and add another year to the course here, these girls could
be kept in school, otherwise they will stay at home as there are
no other schools near them except Moslem schools.
Haret el Yahud Girls’ School— I wish I could picture to you
this school, and this old, tumble-down building, used since the
early days o f the mission. The last week in October a part of
the stairs fell down. W e dismissed school till they were repaired.
I feared this might cause a falling off in the attendance, as the
report got around that the building had fallen. But the next:
week every one was back. In spite of all the drawbacks the school
is fuller than ever before, at least that was the condition before
the epidemic o f influenza.
In this school, whose curriculum calls for six years, there
are only five teachers. The teachers divide the work of the ex­
tra class and the older pupils help out. The teachers are all
Syrian and they are rejoicing over the letters they have received
Egyp t— AIcxandria.
61
from their homes since Palestine has been delivered from the
Turk. Many had not heard from their people for four years.
There are vast opportunities for work in this district, and there
is great need of a new building for this school.
Karmuz Girls’ School— The day school and the Sabbath
School are well attended. The classes are almost too large for
the teaching staff. One of the most interesting features of our
work is the girls’ missionary meeting held every two weeks. This
is led by the girls and many of them take part. The women’s
meeting has grown the last three years. When the meetings were
started only two or three came. Now the room is more than
half full. They listen attentively and we see evidences of the
work of the Spirit in their lives. Husbands insist upon their
wives attending the meetings as they see it makes them better
home-makers. They tell their wives that they will do without a
cooked meal in order that they may attend.
Boys’ School— Together with the other mission schools of
Alexandria we have enjoyed unexpected temporal blessings. Be­
cause of the war we feared smaller attendance and less fees. The
reverse has been our experience. The war has improved our
school’s condition. The presence of the British forces has given
an impetus to the study o f English. In this closing year of the
war the number o f students in the primary and commercial
schools is the largest in our history and the receipts for tuitions
reached a total that we had not received heretofore.
The commercial school has made extraordinary strides. It
was designed for twenty students. This year we occupy new
and more commodious quarters and more than forty students have
been enrolled. They represent different nationalities, languages
and creeds and come from different parts of Egypt.
From the first our students have easily found positions, and
with the extraordinary opportunities afforded by the army, they
can hardly wait to finish the course before they take employment.
Many have risen to places of responsibility with salaries that put
Egyptian and American teachers’ salaries in the shade.
The
American Red Cross, the University of Pennsylvania Egyptolo­
gists, the General Treasurer of our Mission as well as other for­
eign and native employers have found our graduates satisfactory.
Not only have our students been a credit to us along com­
mercial lines, but they have given evidence that the religions in­
struction has influenced their lives. One of our Greek students
felt it was his duty to serve his country. He resigned his posi­
tion in our General Treasurer’s office and received a commission
in the Greek army. He served as a liaison officer with the Brit­
ish. He carried his religion with him, and as a tribute to his
ideals, the British officers with whom he lived respected his stand
against profanity and improper language. More than once when
things looked blue, men repaired to his tent to talk of the real
62
Egypt— Assiut.
things, to read his Testament and receive comfort from his faith.
We rejoice with this friend in that through bravery he received
a Greek decoration, but we rejoice more because he was true to
Christ.
For instilling both commercial and Christian principles into
the minds and lives of these young men great credit is due to
Miss A. Katherine St. Clair, who for the past seven years has
faithfully, untiringly and efficiently served as Principal of. the
commercial school. The school feels a great debt of gratitude
to her, and many young men of this and other cities of Egypt
will hold her in grateful memory for what she has done for them.
ASSIUT.
Equipment— Pressly Memorial Institute (1865)— A small building for
the English department and a large rickety building. Assiut
College (1865)— Seven well-adapted buildings on the new site
and three on the old site. Assiut Hospital (1891)— One large
building with two small clinic buildings and a two-story resi­
dence for physicians. The Ibis (1860).
The city of Assiut is called the capital of Upper Egypt. In
a commercial sense it can scarcely be called so, but as a center of
wealth and educational and political activity it merits the name.
The district of Assiut, with which this report deals, as well
as the city, is precisely the same as the province of Assiut, which
stretches from Minya province on the north to Girga province on
the south. The valley of the Nile is not wide here, being per­
haps from eight to twelve miles in width. To the west lies the
bare Libyan Desert, reaching into the great Sahara; to the east
is the Arabian Desert, which ends at the Red Sea.
The population of the district is not far under a million, of
which 78^4 per cent, are Moslems, 19i^ per cent. Copts, \y2 per
<
! cent. Protestants and less than y2 per cent. Catholics. These calcu­
lations are only roughly accurate, but they suffice to show the large
proportion of Christians in the district— a great contrast to the
almost solid Moslem population of the Delta. In fact, Assiut
is a Christian stronghold, and it is the place where the work o f the
Egyptian Evangelical Church has been most effective.
W ork in the district, as separate from the city, is largely
carried on by the mission boats, the “ Ibis” and the “ Witness,” and
by the inspector o f schools, whose work here has been invaluable.
Through the inspector o f schools and the work from the boats,
contact between the Egyptian Church and the mission is main­
tained. W ork in the city has gone on for over fifty years, and
it may be safely said that in no one place has the influence o f the
American Mission in Egypt been so intensively effective. This
is because the city is small (under 50,000) and because the work
has been carried on for a long time with a large force. The mis­
sion has not had the same chance, for example, even with an
Egypt — Assiut.
63
equal number of workers, in the great cities of Cairo and Alex­
andria, where the hugeness of the fields prevents such intensive
work. The institutions of the city and district will speak for
themselves. They have appeared in many a Mission Report, the
College and Pressly Memorial Institute dating from 1865, the
Hospital from 1891 and the “ Ibis” from the days of “ Bamba”
(1860). The city and district have suffered from the war, but
not seriously. The mission, the district and the city have many
needs ; the greatest, easily, however, seems to be that of the Press­
ly Memorial Institute. W ho will help it ?
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
T H E “ IB IS.”
For fifty-nine years the “ Ibis” has been used in itinerating
work in Upper Egypt. It stands without a peer as a pioneer
agency in the distribution of the gospel in the various parts of
Upper Egypt. O f late years, the “ Ibis” has been used in visit­
ing the churches, conducting evangelistic campaigns, and in reach­
ing towns and villages otherwise neglected. It has proven espe­
cially serviceable in bringing missionaries in touch with a large
number of Moslems who were thus given an opportunity of hear­
ing the gospel.
The last three years have been an epoch-making period in
connection with the boat work. It was marked by the evangelistic
campaign in which one of the Egyptian pastors was employed
for several months. Series of evangelistic meetings were held in
various churches and a deep far-reaching influence was exerted.
In one of the places visited, a special reviving took place, result­
ing in the addition to the church of about a hundred members in
the months fallowing.
This period was distinguished by the presence of Rev. Jesse
McPherson, an American evangelist, who had just visited the
Far East. H e spent several months on the boat speaking through
an interpreter, and the meetings were very impressive and effec­
tive in quickening the spiritual life. The attendance was large
and the fact that he spoke through an interpreter did not seem
to affect seriously the results. His success has done much to
convince the mission o f the wisdom and advisability of securing
special evangelists to visit the churches even though they require
the aid of interpreters.
This period will be remembered also for the beginning of!
the pioneer work along the Yusef Canal. Two years ago the mis­
sion secured a second boat, the “ Witness,” for the work on the
Nile, which made possible the entering of the Yusef Canal for
the first time in the history of the mission. This canal begins at
Deirut and runs along the edge o f the desert parallel to the Nile
until it reaches the Fayum, where it supplies that large district

with water. There are hundreds o f towns and villages scattered
along its banks. The itinerating work was most interesting, re­
minding the older missionaries of the early days when Dr. John
Hogg first began work in Upper Egypt. Quite a number o f our
missionaries took turns in this work. Mr. A. T. Upson, o f the
Nile Mission Press, spent a month on the boat and distributed
quantities of literature by means of colporteurs. Rev. and Mrs.
Dickens, English missionaries, also rendered valuable service.
There were countless opportunities o f reaching Moslems- who
gave heed gladly. A great many unenlightened Copts also came
under the influence of the gospel.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Assiut College— Thoughts of the three great years, 1916-18,
stir emotions of thankfulness and pride, yet they bring also to
mind the disappointment o f many hopes yet unrealized.
The needs that faced the college three years ago still con­
front us. More than ever does our opportunity call for a larger
staff of permanent American professors. Endowments for pro­
fessorships, however, and for the foundation of a library are
needs still unprovided. The demand of the times for Egyptian
teachers of higher training is more urgent than ever. The lack
of a suitable dining hall deprives our students of one of the first
essentials of good living. Better sanitary equipment for our
dormitories is imperative. W e take courage, though, from re­
calling the successes of the past, and are strengthened anew in
our faith that it is not the will of God that we should lack any
of these things.
Attendance in spite of the hard times caused by the war has
been kept up to almost normal figures. The cost of everything,
especiall}r foodstuffs, has advanced, and the mission has been un­
able to grant us any additional aid, but we have met the situation
by increasing the fees charged to students, by forced economies,
and by deferring repairs and improvements, so that the college
has no debt.
During the past year a new Government secondary school
has been established in Assiut, the first and only one south of
Cairo, It brings new and not unwelcome competition into our
field. Standards in our own school, however far short of our
ideals, have heretofore satisfied our constituents, but must now
be measured by the better standards thus brought before them.
A most substantial advance has been made in the standards
of our teaching, in examinations and in the classification of stu­
dents. The work of the registrar has been put on a sound and
scientific basis, wrhich will make it possible to supervise and man­
age classroom work with efficiency.
The college continties its emphasis upon athletics, with the
growing conviction that sports have an unrivaled place in de-

veloping a manly spirit, and in promoting fair play. This work
deserves and must have the attention of a well-trained specialist.
It offers an unusual missionary opportunity.
The years just gone by have seen the growth of a marked
interest in our biological courses, and a good beginning has been
made in furnishing the necessary equipment. It is a department
which should be put at once into the hands of a permanent pro­
fessor, of graduate training, and provision should be made for
a building, equipment and endowment.
The triennium has seen the preparatory department develop
into a separate entity and take to itself a distinctive life and spirit.
The teachers have developed a most admirable esprit de corps,
which is shown in all parts of the school life, but especially in the
work of the Christian Endeavor society.
W e think with pride of what the college has done in war
work. In co-operation with the Y. M. C. A., we have maintained
a canteen for the troops stationed in Assiut, and thus have been
given many and varied opportunities for serving the soldier. In
the summer o f 1916 we opened one of our residences to the use
o f the staff, and our dormitories to the men, affording them a
shelter from the scorching sun of an unusually hot summer. W e
recall with great satisfaction the spirit of loyalty to the cause of
the Allies which has been manifested by our students. There is
no more loyal community in Egypt than our Protestant constit­
uency. A large number of our students have served the British
army as translators and clerks. In Mesopotamia alone there were
twenty-six men from Assiut College acting as translators, and
we cannot but be proud of their record. Every one made good.
Professors F- S. Thompson and C. A. Owen have given their va­
cation time to the work of the Syria and Palestine Relief Fund,
and Professor Thompson has also been absent during term time in
Y. M. C. A. work for troops encamped near Alexandria. Three
members of the staff, Messrs. D. C. Bess. J. D. Elder and Allan
Hunter, were granted leave to enter Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross
work.
A pump and an engine have been installed to supply sufficient
water to irrigate the campus. Lawns and flower beds have been
dug up, and are now planted with vegetables. Thus Assiut has
striven to do her bit to help feed the world in these days of hunger.
The past three years have seen great changes on our campus.
It has been extended by purchase of land east, north and west.
It has been beautified by the planting of trees, shrubs, and hedges,
and by the laying out of roadways and gardens; a new engine
pumps wrater for irrigation, and on the east side a well designed
stone wall has been built.
The college continues true to its missionary motive. In the;
past three years 242 students have united with the Church; 211
have entered the Christian ministry; 14 have become teachers;■

[and 18 have taken up the study of medicine. It was for the disjcovery and training of these leaders that Assiut College was estab­
lished, and for the same purpose it must continue.
In April, 1918, Professor R. S. McClenahan left the college
to enter the new wTork o f the Cairo University. He leaves behind
him an abiding record of noble service, and his going is a loss
too great for us to measure. W e pray for workers to fill his
place and the other places still vacant.
Pressly Memorial Institute— To begin with figures, 1917
boasts of the largest collection for the missionary society, $85;
while 1918 boasts of the largest enrolment, 397; the largest grad­
uating class, 18; the largest Sabbath School collection, $171; and
the largest thank-offering, $181.
An effort is made to reach parents and friends of the girls
along moral and ethical lines through the literary and temperance
societies.
The temperance society had made 1918 a banner year by
securing over four hundred pledge signers in the city and dis­
trict. These are people of all classes and ages, among them stu­
dents from government and other schools.
O f the annual thank-offering meetings, perhaps the most
persuasive was that of 1918 where Mrs. Porter’s “ Light and
Darkness” was given. The volunteer band continues its ministry
in many parts o f the city and its members do telling work in their
homes and villages during the vacation. One of the Syrian teach­
ers has been carrying on the work in the prison for the past six
years. The women love her dearly and think it a wonderful thing
that one so good and so pure should treat them as sisters. They
are learning that this spirit comes from the Christ Himself. W e
are rejoicing in the conversion of two of the Moslem prisoners,
both of whom are going out into service in Christian homes.
The school has graduated thirty-two girls in the three years.
These are now scattered all over Egypt, some of them in homes
o f their own as wives of preachers, farmers, doctors, lawyers and
business men. Six of the seven graduates of 1916 became teach­
ers ; and o f the thirty-two, fourteen have taught or are about to
begin teaching, and two have become Bible women, the first of
our graduates to take up this work. Besides these, a number of
undergraduates have gone out as teachers for a longer or a shorter
time.
W e record in another part o f this report our great loss in
the death of Miss Emma L. Williams in December, 1918.
W e wish here to take the opportunity of publicly thanking
the many friends and supporters who have given so liberally, and
particularly in the past three years. It would not be too much to
say that it has been these contributions, which have come to us in
special ways, which have made it possible fQr us to get through
the period o f high prices caused by the war. These gifts have

67
by no means been small, in the aggregate, and they have been
greatly needed, and most thankfully received.
During these three years “ The White Gift Christmas” has
been inaugurated with great blessing to all, and sufferers in A r­
menia and Syria have been ministered to through gifts of sewing
and money.
Each successive senior class, through the great kindness of
the hospital staff, has had hours of observation work in the hos­
pital. This with their work in school along health lines, the care
o f children and general home-making, gives us great confidence
for the future usefulness of the girls.
This much, o f what the school has done or is doing. But
what of the work that it might have done and longs to be doing?
Wre have supplied some teachers, but we have refused far more
requests than we have granted. In the past term we have had
requests for ten teachers for the more immediate district, and
for one each for Minia, Zagazig, Ismailia, Cairo, Aswan and the
Sudan. If only we had room and equipment for more normal
training, what a force of teachers could be trained and sent out.
The school enrolment has increased from 360 in 1916 to
397 in 1918, and the boarding department has been full to over­
flowing all the time. This is encouraging, but what of the scores
that have been turned away? Miss Williams wrote to a friend
just fifteen days before death, “ Please remember the new Pressly
Memorial Institute which we are hoping, working, and praying
for. The institution has long since outgrown its room and many
girls have to be turned away each year because there is no room
in the institution. Some of these girls never have another oppor­
tunity, either because their parents decide to marry them off before
the year rolls round, or because they change their minds and
decide that further education is not necessary. I shall be so glad
if some of my friends would become interested in this.” W e have
today thirty-two girls on our waiting list for the boarding depart­
ment. H ow many o f them will ever get their turn? Somebody
must answer this question.

Usually some sixty village schools are kept open in this 5
Presbytery. About 90% o f them are being conducted on a
very unsound financial policy. The majority of them are con­
ducted by the teacher on his own account, that is, he assumes all
financial burdens, the bulk of which is his own salary. Here as
elsewhere, schools worthy of the name cannot be conducted with­
out some source o f income aside from the fees of the pupils. The
average salary of these teachers is much less than the wages paid
an ordinary cook. There are some notable exceptions to the above
statement, where the teacher is well provided for, receiving a
68
Egypt — Assiut.
salary that compares favorably with that received elsewhere for
similar work.
There are three schools at Nakheila, Sanabu, and Mallawi
which are receiving continuous and fairly adequate support from
the local community. As a result of this interest and loyalty, all
three have been developed far beyond their neighbors. Each of
these schools aims to carry a course of study only two years short
of that provided by Assiut College and each of them should be
utilized as a center, affording an opportunity for boys of the
neighboring villages to secure Christian training of a higher char­
acter than the villages afford. An American missionary could
wish no larger opportunity for extending the work of Christian
education than that which these three schools would afford him.
Assiut Presbytery affords a splendid field for an educational
i missionary.' The field is large, and the opportunities great at the
present time. There are communities almost without any real
desire for education. The people need to be shown the value of
schools to themselves and their children. The parents need to be
interested first. The Evangelical Church is not as yet interested
to the extent of contributing much money for school work. The
money is here and is being spent for things of only temporary
value. Let worthy ideals be set before them and they will
respond. The Synod of the Nile could probably be induced to
subsidize schools where the local interest is lacking and where
financial support is insufficient. Gradually local interest will
spring up, when the aid can be reduced or withdrawn entirely.
M E D IC A L .
Assiut Hospital.— The last three years have brought us condi­
tions unique in the history of our institution, viz., an increasing
work and a decreasing staff, both of doctors and nurses] W e
admitted 322 more patients into the hospital last year than the year
before, while this year our city practice was very much greater
than ever before.
I
Our two great needs are doctors and endowment. Dr. L. M.
Henry, the founder and genius of this great work, which has been
second to none in giving the gospel to thousands of patients yearly
and in breaking down opposition and fanaticism, will only promise
to remain at the helm one term more.
For the year 1917 the two seasoned American doctors and
a bright, capable Egyptian assistant saw on an average for the 365
days more than forty patients each daily. However willing the
spirit may be, the flesh cannot keep up such a pace very long.
W e are earnestly hoping that the world vision given to our
young doctors by the war and the self-sacrifice that it has called
out may lead them to hear the call to this more peaceful though
arduous work for the Captain of our Salvation. Would that at
Egypt— Benha.
69
least six capable, spirit-filled young doctors would volunteer this
year for the work in Egypt.
During the past year almost 3,000 entered our hospital and
33,000 visited the free clinic. These heard daily the word of God,
talks on their hope for Heaven and their need of a Saviour, fervent
prayers offered for them and theirs and the singing of the Psalms.
Many of them committed verses of Scripture, portions of the
Catechism, and the Lord’s Prayer. God alone can measure the
results o f this daily sowing of the seed, year after year.
It takes only $1,000 to endow a bed. If one hundred individu­
als, families, societies, or congregations would endow one bed
each, what a living monument to the glory of God that would
make, how much suffering would be alleviated, how many lives
would be saved and how many would hear of the Saviour. If you
have not the money by you, send Liberty Bonds. “ The King’s
business requires haste.”
You may well ask why doctors leave the home land, and a
lucrative practice, or prospects for the same, and come to a land
of a strange language, and peculiar and difficult customs, where
the educating of their children brings a heavy financial strain and
the early breaking of home ties. The reply is this: For the glori­
ous opportunity of carrying out the great commission, and for
the glory of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. The medical work is only
a means to the end that those who are in darkness, ignorance and
superstition, without God and without hope, either in this life or
in the life to come, may have the knowledge of a Saviour who is
not willing that any should perish but that all should come and
take of the water of life. Many of our patients have a hazy,
indefinite belief in God and the future state of paradise and perdi­
tion, but absolutely no knowledge o f Christ, the Saviour, or of
the Holy Spirit, the Comforter and Guide of our lives. The
uncertainty as to the results o f their illness makes them very
approachable, as they are longing for comfort and assurance of
peace with God.
W e wish to express our gratitude to God and our heartfelt
thanks to the donors of the Ure legacy, which will enable us to
open a new work which has been on our hearts for a number of
years, viz., quarters for the treatment of hookworm disease on a
larger scale. W e w'ould again urge the home Church to enlarge
our medical force in Egypt. W e would especially urge pastors
who have access to medical students to put before them the needs
and opportunities of medical mission work.

Egypt — Benha.
Benha is located at the junction of the Alexandria and Port
Said Railways. It is not a large town, having a population of only
about 25,000, but it is the center of a large and populous district
It is distinctly a rural district. Only two or three of the 266 towns
and villages have over 10,000 population, and most of them are
villages containing from 1,000 to 5,000 people. It is an excellent
farming and fruit growing section; and beyond the river, in a
part of the Manufia province, the soil is considered by some to be
the most fertile in Egypt. Between Benha and the town of Kaliub,
there is quite a fruit growing section where orange and fig
orchards abound.
The district is densely populated, containing over one
million people or about 1,000 to the square mile. It is also
distinctly a Mohammedan section.
Ninety-seven per cent, of
the people are Moslems, about 2% Copts and V2% Jews with
about y2 % Protestants. The schools here always show a large
percentage o f Moslems among their pupils.
The station was opened in the year 1894 when Rev. Chauncey
Murch, D.D., was appointed to Benha. He opened a school for
boys, and a little later, one for girls. Owing to the difficulty in
finding a suitable house in Benha at that time, he removed to
Cairo, but continued to superintend the work in Benha. Schools
were also opened in the out-stations, of Tukh, Shablanga and
Birket es Saba. Later when Dr. Murch left on furlough, Rev.
S. C. Ewing, D.D., had charge for a short period. In the year
1897 Rev. J. Kruidenier, D.D., was given charge of the work,
in addition to his work in the Theological Seminary. He opened
schools in Kaha, Mit Bera, Karanein, Manuf, and Biltan.
Dr. Kruidenier secured property on the north side of the
town, near the river, and erected two buildings: one for the girls'
school, in which a clinic was held, and a larger one which accom­
modated the boys’ school and bookshop, and contained a small
chapel for a place of worship. He also secured a plot of ground
at Shablanga and built a school building, which has been consid­
ered by some as a model for a village school. In 1906, Rev. S. A.
W ork was located in Benha, and had charge of the station until
his furlough in 1912. He added to the building occupied by the
boys’ school by erecting over it a comfortable missionary
residence.

W e are glad to report that the evangelistic work has been
increased. During the past year we have had five lay preachers
at work in this district. Most of these were supported by the
Milton Stewart Fund, which added greatly to our force of work­
ers. One o f our village evangelists had a circuit of fifty villages
which he attempted to evangelize and some of which he visited
regularly.
Egypt— Benha.
71
One Moslem was baptized last year. When he was a small
boy some school children amused_ themselves by teaching him
some English words. This aroused in him a desire to go to school,
and led him to study the Bible. He is a zealous worker and is
now in the Bible school in Cairo, preparing to become an evangel­
ist among his Moslem brethren.
Another feature of the work here is the opening of Sabbath
schools for street children, who attend no day school. In addition
to the regular Sabbath school which is held in the central school
building, there are two which meet in other places in the town.
At each of these thirty or forty children meet every Sabbath, to
listen to Bible stories, and commit Scripture verses. At first they
are attracted by the promise of picture cards, but they soon learn
to come, and could not be kept away. Results are seen almost
immediately in the conduct of the children, and that in a part of
the town where the children were so bad that one wished to avoid
passing through it. These, with the class of street Arabs that
attend the central Sabbath school, make about one hundred chil­
dren, for whom heretofore nothing was done.
The district of Benha presents a great opportunity and an
open door. There are a number of villages which we are not
able to reach. The location of the mission station at the railway
junction, with branches of the narrow gauge railroad and good
country roads, suitable for automobiles and motor cycles, makes
its possible without long journeys to reach all parts of the district.
At the beginning of 1916 a British garrison was located in
Benha, and we opened tea rooms in the building occupied by the
girls’ school. They were well patronized, and very much appreci­
ated by the soldiers. This continued for two years, making con­
siderable demands on the missionaries’ time, especially on that o f
Mrs. Walker, who had charge o f the girls’ school at the same
time. Many letters are being received from soldiers expressing
their appreciation of what was done for them here, and we feel
that the effort was not in vain.
Women's W ork.— W e have two Bible women in this district
— one in Benha and the other in Birket es-Saba. A third is begin­
ning this month in Tukh.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
During the past year the Copts were stirred up to oppose
our work, and opened a school for girls, but He who makes even
the wrath o f man to praise Him, caused this to become a means
o f blessing to the school. As the attendance of Copts fell off the
number o f Moslem pupils increased, and now we have daughters
from many of the prominent families in Benha. The highest
Moslem officials send their daughters to our school rather than
to their own Moslem girls’ school. At present one third of the
72
Egypt— Beni Suef.
pupils are from Moslem homes, and of the other two thirds about
half are from Coptic and half from Jewish homes.
The last four years have been a trying time in many ways,
and most o f our schools have suffered a decrease in attendance.
Also when the hospital in Tanta was closed there was no doctor
for the clinic in Benha, so that branch o f the work had to be cut
off.
The district appeals to one because of its great need and also
because the people are village people, simple in habits and less
fanatical than those in larger centers. Only about eight per cent,
o f the men can read and write, and only one woman in a thousand.
It will be easily seen that providing one ordained missionary
to a million people is N O T occupying the field. “ Let him that
readeth understand.”
BENI SUEF.
Equipment— A small school building at Ashmant.
This district is situated in the very middle of Egypt: The
three provinces which make up the district are about two hundred
miles long from north to south while the average width of the
cultivated portion is about eight miles and its area 1,559 square
miles. According to the census o f 1917 the report of which is not
quite complete, the population of these three provinces is about
1,730,000.
O f these 90% are Moslems, 9 % are Copts, about
y 2 % are Protestants, and nearly all the rest are made up of Jews,
Greeks and Roman Catholics.
In these three provinces are located some of the greatest won­
ders of ancient and medieval Egypt. The well known pyramids
of Giza are in the Giza province and the famous pyramids of Sakkara. Then there are the ruins o f three great ancient cities,
Memphis, Heracleopolis, and Oxyrhynchus. O f later places of
interest there are the monasteries, Deir Amba Antonius at Bush
near Beni Suef, and Deir Amba Bulus near the Red Sea which
is also reached from Bush by camel caravan, the trip taking six
days. This monastery is in the bleak desert hills, and for protec­
tion it is without an outer door and those who enter must be
drawn up by a rope and windlass. All their supplies are taken
by camel from Bush where the monastery owns about 1,000 acres
of rich land. There are other monasteries, and also tombs and
ruined towers all along the desert on both sides of the valley. One
of the reputed burial places o f St. George is at Biba a few miles
south o f Beni Suef.
Beni Suef is one of the less developed stations of the Mission,
but in this region Rev. J. O. Ashenhurst and Rev. David Strang,
D.D., labored much in the Lord. Many remember them and speak
o f them. W e own no buildings or property except a small school
at Ashmant, provided largely by private subscription.
Egypt— Beni Suef.
73
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
W e have long planned that this district be divided into three,
each corresponding to a province. While the work is small and
comparatively new; Beni Suef and Giza have each a population
of about half a million. The former province contains only three
small Protestant churches, and the latter none at all. The other
province, Minia, is south of Beni Suef and is the field where most
of the churches of this presbytery are located. These churches both
need and desire missionary leadership and beyond their bounds
there are great stretches o f untouched territory. A boat can be
used to reach some of the towns at certain times of the year, both
on the Nile to the east and on the Bahr Yusef on the west. A
light automobile would be still more useful, and it would double a
missionary’s efficiency in itinerating by saving time and effort.
Our field is open for evangelistic work wherever we can visit
or plant a center. Missionary itineration is carried on whenever
time is available. Three regular trips by boat have been made
in the last two years, one on the Nile on the “ Witness,” and two
on the Bahr Yusef on the “ Ibis.” About one hundred towns were
visited on the Bahr Yusef, most of them twice. In two months’
cruising on the Nile we preached in about sixty towns, passing
by many on account of the shortness of time. W e have nine
regular centers for mission evangelists, six of which were estab­
lished within the three years, besides those under direction of
presbytery or of local churches. In Giza province, where we have
two centers, there are no Protestant churches and only a few
members who are in Government service, and may be located there
only temporarily. The work consists largely of itinerating, house
visits and personal work, though we have a rented house at Ayat
and meet in small schools at Matania and Badrashein. At Wasta
in Beni Suef province, we have the advantage of a weekly clinic
by Dr. D. L. Askren of the Fayum, who, though independent, is
a real American missionary and counted one of us. He shares
with us in the rent of the small house where we have meetings
and where the evangelist rooms. At Ashmant we have a new
building, which, however, has not been finished on account of the
war and lack of funds. On account o f our being anathematized
by the Coptic priest, a number of the Copts are against us for the
time being, but partly for this reason some Moslems have shown
an interest in our meetings. Ahnasia is the center of a needy
region on the Bahr Yusef and near the entrance to the Fayum.
It is the site o f ancient Heracleopolis. Our evangelist there has
a large field all to himself and is sowing much seed on the ways
and the rocks and among thorns, and some on ground more or
less good.
Gindia has a small but growing church of about
thirty members and the surrounding towns receive the word. In
the Sultan Pasha district south of Minia, where the pastor visits
about thirty-six villages and the people are all poor, we have two
74
Egypt— Cairo.
men working, one a blind man who ministers acceptably to one
large and two small villages, which would be left almost entirely
but for his ministry. The other man has begun work in three
large villages where they have put up mud or corn-stalk meeting
places, and many hear and some have confessed Christ.
W e have teachers of women in four places, Beni Suef, Biba,
Bush and Sultan Pasha. Two are women and two blind men.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Our four schools for boys are at Ashmant, Mantania, Matai
and Mermah, near Beni Suef. These have a total average enrol­
ment o f about one hundred and seventy-five boys and small girls.
Each has but one teacher who teaches the primary branches and
Bible lessons, conducts Sabbath school and helps with the preach­
ing service.
The Beni Suef girls’ school has six teachers and about one
hundred and fifty pupils, but we are trying to hold classes for
seven grades in four rooms, which are neither suitable, sufficient
nor sanitary. The owner, a friendly Copt, gives us the use of the
building free. The opportunities are many and with more aid,
room, equipment, and supervision, the outlook would be most
promising.
W e have the finest climate in all Egypt. W e have some of
the most spiritual and progressive churches and pastors. W e have
the most conservative people. W e have the third largest mission
district. W e have fewer missionary workers than any other dis­
trict, even the smallest. W e have a prodigious task.
But “ Power belongeth unto God.”
And, “ Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power.”

Cairo is situated at the center o f the cross roads of the world.
The area of Cairo is about thirty square miles, or 19,000 acres.
W e may add to this for the years of the war several thousand
acres, which have been occupied as army camps. The population
is 790,939. The gain during the past ten years has been almost 17
per cent. The war has added much to the numbers, not only of
men under arms, but a large “ mixed multitude” of both men and
women, desirable and undesirable as citizens, who have come in
with the army. The undesirables have made Cairo to be, as one
has termed it, “ the grave o f the soul” to many hundreds of young
men, who left their homes, brave and pure.
Egypt — Cairo.
75
Almost all the tribes and nations on the face of the earth
are represented in Cairo.'' Among Egyptians there is but little race
prejudice as we know it in America, and little class distinction as
it is found in India.
More than five sixths of the inhabitants of this capital city'
of Egypt are Moslems, the other sixth are mostly Copts, but
with a sprinkling of most other Christian sects of Europe and;
the Near East.
The language is Arabic.) Most of our mission work is done |
by means of it, and your missionaries must learn it, but seldom
attempt any other, though a few learn French for school work
and on account of European society. A service is carried on in
our mission building by the Armenians in their own language and
wholly at their own expense.
O f the many objects of interest in Cairo the broad ethnologi­
cal panorama of the street is chief, but the many beautiful
mosques, well stocked museums of various kinds and the crowded
bazaar attract visitors from long distances. The Pyramids are
within easy reach.
Cairo was opened as a mission station on the arrival of the
first missionary of the Associate Reformed Church in November,
1854.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Related to the W ar,— The war has been very near and very j
real to us. ) Egypt at the beginning suffered greatly from lack of
raw materials for manufacturing. Since 1915 this condition has
improved as the army employed more and more unskilled labor
for construction in France and Palestine, and large numbers of
clerks, storekeepers, motor drivers and other helpers. W e fear
that the withdrawal of the military forces before materials become
available for manufacture will cause more hardship than before
because of the present high cost o f the bare necessities of life.
The relief work in Palestine, Syria, and the refuge camp at;
Port Said have made demands on us)both for actual work o n ’
the ground, and for administrative work and the buying of sup­
plies at the base. The last few months our force has been so
depleted— five men as compared with twelve three years ago—
that we have had to withdraw from some of our activities in this
great work.
Hundreds of thousands o f British troops have come and gone
to the different fronts in France, Gallipoli, Salonika, Palestine,
and Mesopotamia. Thousands shave attended our English serv- '
ices and Christian Endeavor,)have read, sung, eaten, and visited
in our homes, many of them in a day or two, to go “ over the top.”
One can hardly imagine what the mission homes have meant to
men, who had not been in a home for two or three years, in their
fight against temptation, in this wide-open town.

Egypt— Cairo.
Calls for addresses and sermons and for help in evangelistic
and purity campaigns have been numerous. Several of our men
have served as Y. M. C. A. secretaries for periods of two to six
months. Mr. Parker of the boys’ school has given a number of
illustrated lectures on Jerusalem. A number o f the ladies have
spent a month or more in relief or Y. M. C. A. work, and others
have helped in canteens and hospitals as it has been possible.
The theological students have aided in the distribution of litera­
ture, and have won some souls by personal talks. When troops
first poured into the country and were encamped in the desert
surrounding Heliopolis, a large tea and reading room was opened
at once, and there and at Zeitun a tremendous effort was made to
supply comforts for the men until other agencies were ready to
meet this sudden and urgent need. Our Sabbath evening service
has enabled us to get hold o f a great many soldiers and others.
Several o f the younger missionaries would go out before and dur­
ing the first part of the service, even into the red light district,
and invite men to come. Many have been kept from falling and
others have been brought to Him, whom to know is life and peace.
Routine.— The quarries in the limestone cliffs of the Mokattam hills were being worked many years before the founding of
Moslem Cairo. Yet the effect o f the boring and blasting of the
years is not noticeable in a broad view of the mountain. A climb
to the citadel will reveal across the deep valley behind it, the old
quarry “ workings” and in the distance, at the foot of the cliff, a
few workmen, like pygmies, drilling away at solid rock.
It is a parable of evangelistic effort in Cairo. If we turn
around we look down on the homes of 790,000 people. Below us
are the great Moslem quarters of Saiyida Zeinab, Darb el Ahmar,
El Khrunfish and El Husseinia with a population of but 8,000
Christians lost among 330,000 Mohammedans. W e are looking
on a city unmoved as yet by missionary effort. There are the
minarets of two hundred and six mosques, there is a people ninety
per cent. Moslem. Over against them your little group of mis­
sionaries seems to resemble yonder toilers on the face of the solid
rock.
In the midst o f that mass o f houses to the right is the Khrun­
fish center. Driven out o f one house we secured another which
served as a home for the worker and a hotel for converts, and
contains also a reading room and hall for meetings. In the fall of
1916, the Lord called the evangelist, Hafiz Ibrahim, to a higher
service. His life is a foundation stone of the Master’s work in
El Khrunfish. He was patient and persevering in the midst of
persecution, but perhaps his greatest visible success was in gather­
ing and teaching the children. The securing o f a house on a more
prominent street in 1917, has resulted in a marked increase of
(attendance. Shakir Abd el Masiah is in charge. Rev. Abdulla
Ibrahim is continuing the mid-week meeting which the late Sheikh
Egypt— Cairo.
77
Mikhail Mansur conducted there. He also preaches on Sabbath
morning to good audiences. All these men were converts from
Islam.
On that straight street in front of us near the open square of
Bab el Khalk a new center was attempted in 1917. Shafik Faddul
was transferred from Husseinia, and a book-shop and reading
room were opened. The work did not meet with success, and
after some months of trial, the shop was given up and Shafik
became an interpreter in the army. T o toil alone, day after day,
in a Moslem section of Cairo is no easy task, and this worker
seemed to lose his first love.
A short distance to the right of the old Bab el Khalk shop is
the new center, a second attempt in Darb el Ahmar, opened upon
the coming of the Rev. Abdulla Ibrahim from a successful work
in Assiut Hospital. It is developing very slowly. An outpost
in advance of our front lines, it remains to be seen whether it can
be consolidated or will prove too costly to hold.
In spite of these years of war and with martial law in Cairo,
there has been an expansion in the evangelistic work in the city.
This has been made possible by the Milton Stewart Fund. Five
regular evangelists have been employed in new centers and the
number of centers of regular work in Cairo district now totals six­
teen, besides the four churches and the three regular evangelists
of presbytery. The work in these centers differs greatly. In
several, such as El Adawia and Mahmasha, there are crowded
meetings with a good proportion of Mohammedan hearers. In
others the meetings are not so well attended, but much house to
house visiting and personal work is done. In Husseinia and Darb
el Ahmar are reading rooms where the evangelist explains the
Scriptures to those who are willing to hear. Five are in villages
outside the city.
The death of Mikhail Mansur on May 29, 1918, was, humanly
viewed, an irreparable loss. Once a Moslem sheikh, a graduate
of the great Moslem University in Cairo, he became a Christian
and for some eighteen years preached the gospel to his former
coreligionists. Perhaps "the most telling work for Mohammedans
was his Monday evening meetings in the lower chapel of the
Ezbakia building. Good audiences were attracted to hear him,
and in his eloquent, fearless, sincere way he always held up be­
fore them Christ, the Saviour; then after the service, as out of
his abundant knowledge, he answered their questions, it was in
such a loving gracious spirit that they went away silenced or eager
to come again. In personal work, in writing, and in preaching
his rare gifts were given large expression. A fuller account of
his life and work appears elsewhere.
During the period covered by this report there has been an]
unprecedented distribution of literature. The evangelistic work
of Rev. S. M. Zwemer, D.D., through the medium of the daily
78
Egypt— Cairo.
press,) though greatly curtailed by censorship and war conditions,
has accomplished enough to prove the method a promising one.
An advisory committee of the American Christian Literature
Society for Moslems has been formed which has received money
and brought out books and tracts.
~
\
A special effort was made during 1917 to reach young men
¡of the student class through weekly lectures in the Ezbakia
|church, usually with the stereopticon. Dr. Zwemer and others
lectured in English and Elder Mitri Deweiri in Arabic.
An informal conference of missionaries representing all soci­
eties in Egypt was held at the Mena House in 1918. A prayerful
study o f mission problems was made and reported.
!
Women’s Work.— In the city o f Cairo our mission has a most
interesting Bible work, under the able superintendence of our be, loved veterar. Miss Anna Y. Thompson. During the past three
I years there has been a force of from sixteen to eighteen Bible
j women who have gone from house to house in a dozen different
! districts of the city,)from Fum el Khalig on the south, to Heli­
opolis on the north, about ten miles as the tram goes, reading,
teaching, and preaching the word o f God, to an average of 1,500
pupils. O f these, 159 were Protestants, 272 Moslems, and the
remainder Copts. In nearly every district of the dozen, there is
a meeting place, usually one of our schools or churches, where
regular services are held, as well as weekly prayer meetings for
women. These prayer meetings are usually conducted either by
Miss Thompson herself, or one o f the Bible women. Besides
these there are as many more meeting places where Bible women
are greatly needed as teachers.
The abilities of these Bible teachers vary greatly; some excel
in comforting those who m ourn; one is especially good in teach­
ing ; another is gifted in expressing her petitions in prayer. Some
o f the teachers are aids to pastoral work, while others excel in
working among Mohammedans. Some of them are specially help­
ful at mournings, and are frequently sent for, to read with the
assembled crowd, and to try to persuade the women who mourn
to give up their objectionable mourning customs, and each faith­
fully tries to do her duty in all these lines.
There are now sixteen women who assemble regularly at
Mrs. Harvey’s for their monthly meetings, at which they give in
their reports and receive their salaries, and listen to a Bible lesson
or a devotional talk, either by Miss Thompson or someone else.
For several years Rev. J. G. Hunt, D.D., had charge of this
meeting. Last year the different pastors of the city and some of
the missionaries conducted it. Lord Radstock took one meeting.
This year the pastor o f the Ezbakia congregation was asked to
explain Hebrews to them.
There were two other teachers employed during the year.
One o f these, a girl from the orphanage, was found to be too

young; the other, a widow of varied experiences, seemed to make
more of her experiences than of the Bible teaching itself. She
had been told when employed as a worker that her visits were to
be specially for Mohammedan women and she seemed to try to do
her best. But when a Moslem sheikh came past her one day and
told her to stop working in “ this Moslem district,” carrying the
Bible under her arm, she tried to assert her rights, and the result
was that Dr. Kruidenier was called to go to the police and en­
deavor to restore peace.
There is a much younger woman,, specially under Mrs.
Zwemer’s care, working for Moslems, who by kind answers, over­
came the threats of a butcher to “ cut her in pieces” if she didn’t
stop teaching. He afterwards begged her pardon, and offered
coffee, and the result is that that district is more open than before
to the gospel.
Mrs. R. G. McGill has charge of the workers in Heliopolis;
Miss Isabel Hosack of the two in Haret es Sakkain and two in
Mahmasha; Miss Anna M. McConaughy of the Kullali teacher;
Mrs. J. W . Acheson of the one in Abbassia. They superintend the
women’s meetings as much as possible. Miss Thompson, besides
her school work in the Faggala, attends and conducts five meet­
ings. A Bible woman, Burkhtia, conducts six meetings with an
average weekly attendance of one hundred and thirty-seven.
In all our schools and congregations we have both women’s
and girls’ missionary societies, which meet once a month for a
missionary program. The total contributions of the women’s mis­
sionary societies o f the Delta for the past year were $1,644.00.
The total amount of the thank-offering was $782.67. Three-tenths
o f this was given to our two orphanages, and the remaining seventenths to Synod’s work.
The last general Bible Women’s Conference was held in
Assiut in 1916. Since then small local conferences have been held
in our different towns. More of our women have been able to
attend these and to get the blessings to be had, when a number
o f earnest workers of our Master get together and pray from the
heart, for spiritual revival, and more of the Almighty’s power and
wisdom. Miss Thompson and Miss Rena L. Hogg planned and
conducted the conference in Cairo, which was largely attended
and greatly blessed.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
The past three years have been years of God’s own right
hand. He has wonderfully preserved and blessed all the various
institutions in Cairo, this strategic center of our mission work. In
spite of war times and prices, all of our institutions for girls, nine
in number, are in a most prosperous condition, and minister their
d&ily blessing now to more than 2,000 girls. I wish you could look
into these faces! They speak of many needs, and I am sure the

vision would make your prayers for them more frequent and
earnest.
Perhaps the smallest school, that in Abu El Ela, organized
since the war began, would appeal to your sympathies most, since
it is situated in a very needy, densely populated district ; or, per­
haps the one in north Cairo, Mahmasha, organized by Mrs.
Zwemer about four years ago as sort o f drawing card for her
meetings for women, which has since grown into a most thriving
little school, now superintended by Miss Hosack. These humble
schools are primarily for the little ones but grow into places of
large meetings for prayer, preaching and Bible study, and form
centers where much unreported community work is done and
much needed instruction is given in temperance and morality.
W e hope it may not be long until workers and gifts make
possible similar lights in every dark corner of this great and
wicked city.

Fowler Orphanage.— You are all interested in Miss Margaret
[ A. Smith and her girls. They have felt the high prices of food
and the scarcity of it more than others. Yet the orphanage has
been a real home to more than fifty girls during these hard
times. Mrs. J. W . Acheson has had charge of the day school
conducted in the orphanage building. The grade of the school
as well as the character of the work has been raised to a higher
standard. A number of Moslem girls in that district have been
reached by the school. One mother said: “ Hamida loves your
Book, and her teachers.” The girls love to sing the Lord’s songs,
and you would be delighted to hear them, for they sing well. The
Ezbakia pastor, whose sister teaches in the school, has helped to
train them.
Kullali.— In the past three years the enrolment of this school
i has increased from 404 in 1916 to 572 in 1918. Miss Anna M.
McConaughy has carried the responsibility of directing not only
this school, but also the Haret es Sakkain school for most of these
three years, and testifies that while at times it seemed almost an
impossible task, yet He has given daily strength and has prospered
the work. “ The little ones are our opportunity,” she says. More
than 400 of the 572 enrolled are little tots, studying in the primer,
but never a day passes without a Bible story, a Bible verse, a part
of a Psalm, or one o f the commandments being committed to
memory. A class o f eleven girls finishes the four year course of
study this year. Some will continue their education in the board­
ing school or college; others are willing to teach the little ones,
and thus render valuable assistance.
Haret es Sakkain.— In spite of so many changes in teachers
; and so many rival schools, both Coptic and Moslem, this school
' has been able to hold its own. Miss Isabel Hosack, who has been
in charge since September, 1918, speaks most encouragingly of the
Sabbath school. A new class of boys, numbering thirty or more,

is enjoying its benefits. Another class for girls who have gradu­
ated from the school, has been organized recently with the hope
that from them there will be some who will be willing to do prac­
tical Christian work. The teachers and girls of the school have
been of real help in many o f the homes of this district
Faggala.— Miss Anna Y. Thompson has continued to give her'
earnest, untiring efforts to this school,} which is closely connected1
with the Faggala congregation, in which she is so much appreci­
ated. The Christian Endeavor Society and the temperance meet­
ings in the school have both been blessings to the girls. The girls
contributed $68.00 through the missionary society and thankofferings. They also helped to support' a bed in the Church Mis­
sionary Society Hospital. Eight of the girls from this school are
teaching in different primary schools in the city. There is a branch
of the Y. W . C. A. in the school, and drill exercises given by two
of the Y. W . C. A. workers were greatly enjoyed.
Esbakia 'Day and Boarding School.— Thorough, earnest!
Christian work has been done by the fourteen teachers in this:
school.} The two departments have both kept very full during these
three years of war times. Nineteen girls have made profession of
their faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour, while a number of others
have been hindered by opposition of parents. One definite aim of
this year has been to deepen the prayer life of the school. A
prayer circle among the older girls has been linked up with similar
prayer circles of girls in India and the Sudan. W e feel that the
circle is growing stronger, and that it will be of greater service in
the future. The teachers have mothered special groups of girls,
and if all were faithful each girl would be prayed for daily by
name. Ten fine girls received their diplomas last week. Tw o of
these, one o f whom is a Jewess, are joining our staff as teachers
at once. They have had practice teaching this year under the
guidance of Miss Anna Duncan. The girls have shown their
gratitude to the Great Giver in gifts amounting to over $300.00,
mostly given to orphanages and Syrian relief.
The College fo r Girls.— Miss Mary M. Pattison and Miss!
Helen J. Martin are now in charge o f this important institution.
Miss Pattison reports as follows: “ The past three years in the
Girls’ College have seen progress in many ways, but not in very
conspicuous ways. Those in charge have had very much a feel­
ing of marking time. Definite plans for the development of the
school have had to be held in abeyance until the times should be
more settled. Perhaps our greatest war time difficulty has been
a depleted staff. Then too, we have had many changes in admin­
istration because of illness. But certainly no institution could have
had a more definite experience o f the Heavenly Father’s care than
we have enjoyed during these uncertain days. From about half of
a normal enrolment in the first year of the war, we have returned
to more than pre-war numbers, and the boarding department is
82
Egypt — Cairo.
overflowing more than ever before. Financially we have come
through to the end of 1918 wonderfully well, but the rates of
travel and the high prices o f other things still bid us beware.
However, we thank the Lord and take courage. He who has
brought us so far will not desert us.”
!
Esbakia Boys’ School.— Mr. F. S. Hoyman reports as fol­
lows : “ The school has been ‘carrying on’ with varying fortunes as
to attendance and tuitions. At the present writing these are both
lower than three years ago. This is caused by new competitors
both in Cairo, and in the provincial towns, and by insufficient
supervision due to the demands o f other duties. This lack begets
looseness in classification, and slackness in teaching. W e have
introduced some new features, such as the handing in of the out­
line of each recitation to be given on the following day. Mr.
Parker, who has been doing faithful work with us for three years,
returns to America to finish his theological course. The school
needs a trained American educator as superintendent to give all
his time to the work, and an American teacher to help in English
teaching. The religious teaching and meetings have been carried
on. Dr. Giffen’s chapel talks have been very helpful. Several of
the boys have joined the church, but in many cases the seed sown
has not developed as one might hope. W e trust that the Lord of
the harvest will strengthen the sowers and quicken by His Spirit
the seed sown and bring praise to His name.”
Theological Seminary.— In reviewing the years 1916-17-18,
one is impressed with the changes the Theological Seminary and
Lay Preachers’ School have passed through.
The Rev. Andrew Watson, D.D., LL.D., President of the
Faculty for so many years, was called to his eternal reward
December 9, 1916. In his stead Rev. J. R. Alexander, D.D., LL.D.,
served as President of the Faculty until he left for furlough in
America, when Rev. J. Kruidenier, D.D., was appointed chairman
•of the faculty to act until the return of Rev. J. G. Hunt, D.D.
During 1918, the number of students in the Theological Semi­
nary was 25; in 1917, 17, and in 1918, 18, and the number in the
Preachers’ School for 1916, 12; for 1917. 16, and for 1918, 21.
With reference to the students of the Theological Seminary
the decrease in attendance is explained by two occurrences. But
one student entered the first year class in 1917. This was caused
by a change in the policy of the Synod and the Association with
regard to the status of the students. Upon another alteration of
the policy the following year the attendance again became normal.
The second occurrence affecting the enrolment in 1917 was the
withdrawal o f four students in the middle year for service in the
Egyptian Expeditionary Force of the British Army. They left of
their own initiative, hoping to better their financial circumstances.
One o f these has applied this year for readmission. All of the
Seminary students are graduates of Assiut College.
Egypt— Fayum.
83
Our Seminary, though more than fifty years old, does not
possess a plant of its own. For many years, rooms in a part of
the Ezbakia building answered the purpose of dormitory and lec­
ture rooms. These became so overcrowded two and a half years
ago that we were forced to make a change. In consequence, we
secured dormitory accommodation outside. It will do as a make­
shift, but no rented house seems to be wholly suitable. W e are
in the second one of this kind at present.
Our Theological Seminary proper compares favorably with
schools o f the same type at home. Its courtesy, study and meth­
ods of instruction are patterned largely after them.
The Lay Preachers’ Training School is made up of young
“ efi, without extensive literary training who have had experience
in diifeicrvt kinds o f Christian work. This rlass promises m bo_
come an institution resembling the Bibla training schools at home.
Its students coming from all classes and from other missions as
well as our own, are finding here instruction in the Scriptures that
will help them not only as preachers of the word, but also as
teachers in schools and as catechists and colporteurs.
The spirit among the young men in both schools has on the
whole been good. A consciousness of being called to service
coupled with a very laudable attempt on their part to profit by the
lessons received has enabled them to persevere and bear many dis­
comforts. The graduates from these schools serve not only the
Church and mission in Egypt, but also in the Sudan where even
as far south as Nasser on the Sobat River they are privileged to
■carry the message. Not long ago interesting letters were received
from some o f them, revealing their prayer life and their zeal for
the Master.
At present the Synod of the Nile has become interested in
the project of a seminary of its own. A committee has been
appointed to study the relation of Synod to our seminary and to
recommend a way whereby their hope may be realized. It is pos­
sible that they may obtain their desire by adopting our seminary.
Should the)r do this it will be a great step forward, a step of great
responsibility and opportunity, upon which we will earnestly in­
voke God’s blessing.
FAYUM.
Equipment— No property is owned by the mission.
The Fayum is off by itself; a basin-shaped oasis scooped out
of the Libyan Desert plateau and remarkable on account of its
inland lake, the. extraordi. :ary fertility of its soil, its celebrated
scenery— some have called it “ the Switzerland of Egypt”— and
its many historical associations. It is also noted for its dates, figs,
oranges and olives, At one time the lake covered a large part of
the district and in the old days of basin irrigation, long before

E gy p i— F ay um.
the time o f Joseph, it was used to regulate the level of the water
in the Nile Valley. Strabo, writing in B. C. 20, describes the lake
as being “ large enough to be called a sea, and resembling the open
sea in color.” At the point where the river Joseph enters the
Fayum, it is about 80 feet above the sea level. At the north end
where"the lake was at one time 73 feet above sea level, it is now
140 feet below.
The cultivated area of the Fayum is almost 1,100 square
miles with a population of 507,617, of whom the majority are
farmers, fishermen and desert Arabs. Medinet el Fayum with a
population of over 45,000 is the capital of the province. It is
centrally located and out from every side run splendid roads to
every part o f the province. When the district was first opened ro
m i s s i o n a r y w o r k m o r e than fifty years ago, there w a ? n o railway
south of Cairo. In those days it must have been a long hard
trip up from the river and over the desert hills. It is now an
hour’s ride by rail from the main line at Wasta.
O f the above population, only about 20,000 are literate; 484,630 are Moslems and 21,437 Copts. Over against this multitude
are two regular Egyptian pastors and a few evangelists, Bible
women and teachers and the missionary staff, including Dr. and
Mrs. D. L. Askren who have been doing the medical work here
for more than fourteen years. One o f the pastors is Rev. Shenudah Hanna, the first graduate of Assiut College and one of the
earliest graduates of our Theological Seminary, who has been
serving in Sinnoris as a pastor for more than forty-four years.
During the last three years British troops have occupied the
Fayum. They first came in numbers, for there was danger from
the Arab tribes to the w est; but later on when the Senussi tribe
had been conquered, they were here only for garrison duty. First
came the British yeomanry, fine strong men of Kitchener’s arm y;
then some British regiments that had been fighting at Gallipoli,
and later on the Irishmen and Indian Camel Corps sent for gar­
rison duty. While they were in the Fayum we all did what we
were able to do in entertaining the officers and men, assisting the
Y. M. C. A. and conducting religious services as opportunity
offered.
It has been only during the last two years that the majority
of the people of the Fayum really began to feel the effects of the
war. When the Government began gathering in the camels and
donkeys, though a good price was always paid for them, and when
the sons of the ignorant peasants were being drafted for the
Labor Corps, when kerosene became scarce and prices began to
go up and paper money began to take the place of the silver
that was being hoarded, many felt that they were greatly afflicted,
and one often heard the exclamation: “ Oh when will this terrible
war end ?” It is true that many poor people suffered, but compar­
ed with those who lived in Europe and other parts of the Near
Egypt— Fayum.
85
East, those who lived in this land, one o f the world’s garden spots
of sunshine and plenty, had cause for little but gratitude.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
At the beginning of 1916 things looked very discouraging
because the new Coptic bishop was doing his best to drive us out
and to keep a gospel-hungry people from being fed with the bread
of life. But when people are hungry they will have food and it
has not gone well with the bishop. W e have made a little progress
and have four native evangelists under the direction of the mis­
sion now instead of one as in 1916. W e still have three Bible
women teaching and preaching to the women in their homes.
In the village of Tubhar a little plot of ground has been pur­
chased and a building erected for school and church, and an
opposition school has long since closed its doors. In another vil­
lage where there is a handful of faithful members of our Church,
a communion service last spring kindled afresh their zeal and
some were added to their number. Now they are ready to build
a place of worship rather than have the service in a small dwell­
ing house. While most o f the work of our evangelists is done for
the Copts we are constantly urging work among the Moslems, and
many Moslems hear the gospel by attending meetings and coming
into personal contact with the evangelists. Practically all those
who come to Dr. Askren’s clinic are Moslems, and there they have
an opportunity to hear the gospel.
The new Psalter has been a great asset to the evangelistic
work here in the Fayum. The people love to sing. In spite of
the war both of our organized congregations have been growing.
The Fayum congregation has become self-supporting and there
has been a new interest manifested in special evangelistic meetings.
Such speakers as Lord Radstock, Dr. S. M. Zwemer, Rev. Jesse
McPherson, Rev. W . T. Fairman, and Elder Mitri, besides a num­
ber of our strongest pastors, have brought ringing messages of
life to large audiences.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Girls’ School.— Our main educational work in the Fayum is
the Girls’ School in Medinet El Fayum. One day Miss Hammond
came from the school looking rather tired and on being asked how
the work was coming on answered: “ Well, I feel a good deal like
the 'old woman who lived in a shoe.’ ” The school has made
steady progress these last three years till now in spite of the fact
that the influenza hindered the work somewhat lately, the school
is the best it has been in years. A little incident that Miss Ham­
mond tells is worth repeating: “ One o f our little free pupils is so
anxious to study and become a teacher that she goes out under
the stre.pt lamn near her home to studv her lessons at ni^ht. Her

mother is too poor to buy oil for light, but is very ambitious for
her daughters, and so sells sugar cane, sweet p o t^ e s , etc., in
order to feed and clothe them. She wants t h ^ to have a better
life than she has had, she says, and he«*-6 has put them in the
cnristian school.”
Boys’ School.— The Boys’ School in the same city, which was
for many years under the mission, has been taken over by the local
congregation. A school committee has it in charge and we are
glad to report that the school is doing very well. The small
schools in the district which receive a monthly grant from the
mission are rapidly getting back to where they were before the
bishop began upsetting things. Some are better than they have
ever been before. It is from these little village schools, where
the Bible and catechism are daily taught, that we may look for the
future leaders of the Church and nation.

Dr. Askren’s reputation not only as one of the most expert
surgeons in Egypt, but as a man with a big heart, is known far
and wide not only in the Fayum but up and down the Nile Valley.
People, the majority of whom are Moslems, coming to his clinics
in the Fayum and Wasta afford a splendid opportunity to spread
the good news of the Great Physician. During the last few years
he has been given a welcome entrance into many wealthy Moslem
homes in the Fayum. Dr. and Mrs. Askren are now in Jerusalem
“ doing their bit” with the American Red Cross. They have been
gone less than a month and already many have asked u s: “ Whenis the doctor coming back ?”

This district includes the three southern provinces of Egypt:
Girga, Kena and Aswan. Its length following the bends o f the
river, from Tema, the first station on the north to Aswan on the
south, is 307 miles; then adding the additional distance to Shallal,
the last railway station, we have in all about 312 miles. The area
of this district is about 1,289 square miles or about 1 0 ^ per cent,
of the area of all Egypt. The population is 1,956,891 or about
one sixth of the population of all Egypt— not a small number to
be evangelized. The number of persons to the square mile is
1,507. The density of the population is realized more fully if we
compare it with America. For instance, in Pennsylvania, the
population is but 196 to the square mile. Besides the Egyptians,
there are about 43,000 Arabs, including the Bedouin, Berbers and
Bisharin. The languages spoken are the Arabic and Berber. The
number speaking Berber is comparatively small and many of the
Egypt— Luxor.
Berber men understand Arabic. O f the whole population, 1.740,445, more than 89 per cent., are Moslems; and of the various
Christian sects the Copts number 213,000; Protestants, 3,250;
others 196.
There are many places of interest historically. Near the
station of Baliana is Abydos which we may call the “ cradle” of
Egyptian civilization ; then at Dendera, near Kena, and most of all,
at Luxor, on both sides of the river are tombs and ruins, and there
are old temples at Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. At this
last place there are not only the remains of the work and ancient
civilization of the Egyptians, but also the evidence of there having
been there a large Jewish colony.
W ork in this district was begun very early in the history of
the mission by the missionaries who were working from the
mission boats. A school was opened in Luxor as early as 1S59,
but closed again in 1860. The Rev. Ebenezer Currie lived in Kus
for some time and in the latter part of the seventies a good deal
of work was done in Kus, Luxor and Kurna. The congregations
of Luxor and Kurna were organized in 1862, and the Rev. and
Mrs. Chauncey Murch were located in Luxor in 1883.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
The evangelistic work is carried on by two different agencies
working together; these are the Synod of the Nile, and the mis­
sion. The Synod carries on the work as an organized Church body,
and of course, the whole aim of the mission is to build up a
strong native Church of “ those who are being saved.”
The evangelistic work of the district was begun by -the mis-sionaries fifty or sixty years ago who sowed the seed here and
there as they had opportunity. As this seed bore fruit, the con­
verts were gathered into congregations of which the presbyteries
and Synod were organized. There are now fourteen organized
congregations in the district, besides thirty-one other preaching
places; there are six pastors, five ordained men working as evan­
gelists, six licentiates, and four lay preachers, who have more
or less theological training. The church membership of the district
is 763 men and 831 women, or a total of 1,594. There is a Sab­
bath morning attendance at the meetings of 3,264, and week eve­
ning attendance of 1,278. The contributions for the past year
amounted to $8,216.
There are in connection with these churches 29 Sabbath
schools, with an attendance of 733 men, 467 women, 627 boys,
and 509 girls, or 2,336 in all, with 84 teachers. The contributions
of the schools amounted to $455.
Working with the organized Church of Egypt, the more
direct work of the mission is carried on by different agencies, as
(1 ) the lay preachers. This agency as carried on at present is
somewhat new, and was made possible through the Milton Stewart
88
Egypt— Luxor.
Fund. O f these lay preachers, there have been five in the district,
and they visited from thirty to forty villages monthly, reaching
about 4,000 people. W e consider this a very effective method of
work. These men reach very many who are reached in no other
way, but they prepare the people for the visits of the missionary.
(2 ) Bible women. These do for the women of the district
much the same as the lay preachers for the men, visiting from
house to house, and holding meetings as may be convenient. O f
these women, there are four in Luxor itself and four in the outstations.
(3 ) The direct work o f the missionaries themselves. Those
resident in the central station, Luxor, work in Luxor and vicinity,
while those assigned to the boat give their whole time to the work
o f itinerating.
The work on the boat consists in (a ) visiting the Synod’s
workers and work. In many instances this is not necessary, as
many o f these workers are quite able men, and carry on their
work in a very efficient manner; but they appreciate a visit from a
missionary, and we confer together concerning the work. Their
work and ours is one. W e are all striving to bring the people to
a knowledge of the truth, and to build up strong, live congregations
through which the truth may be spread; so we get much mutual
help from such conferences.
(b ) In directing and aiding the lay preachers. Here a “ wide
and effectual door” is opened to us. W e receive their reports
monthly, and thus are able to keep in touch with them and direct
them, even if at a distance. Then as we pass up and down the
river we are able to meet them twice a year at least, visit with them
their places o f work, and guide and encourage them in their work.
(c ) In visiting and preaching in villages, seldom or never
visited by others. Although quite a number of evangelists are at
work, yet the towns are so many, that they cannot reach nearly
all of them. So the missionary on the boat goes from vil­
lage to village sowing seed in new places as well as cultivating in
places previously sown, and reaping where the harvest is ripe.
The results of this kind of missionary work are hard to tabu­
late. The fields are white to the harvest. W e are reaping now
what others have sown, and others will reap what we are now
sowing. W e do not have as hard a time getting into a village
very often as we have to get out of it, for the people desire us to
stay longer; but as the district is long, and the towns are many,
we cannot remain long in any one place.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
The educational work o f the district is carried on by two
different kinds of schools: boys’ schools, which receive a grant-inaid from the mission and the boarding and day school for girls
at Luxor.
9
Egypt— Luxor.
89
Boys' Schools.— These boys’ schools are of different grades,
from those which fit boys for taking the Government certificate,
down to the small village schools where only the rudiments are
taught; but whether higher or lower, all are positively Christian
in their teaching, and are very hopeful to the more directly
evangelistic work. The pupils are taught the Bible and to sing
the Psalms and thus aid in the church services. Few of the older
people can sing. The schoolhouse always furnishes a meeting
place for the itinerating missionary when he comes along. When
he can announce the date o f his arrival, he is sure to find an audi­
ence expecting a message. I am only sorry that more of these
schools cannot be opened.
Girls3 Boarding and Day School at Luxor.— This is a very
important part of the educational work. It draws not only from
Luxor itself, but from all the Nile Valley from Aswan on the
far south to the territory of the Pressly Memorial Institute at
Assiut and even from the Delta. This school affects not only the
homes and home-making of the pupils but provides teachers for
girls’ schools and Bible women for the different parts of the dis­
trict, and outside of the district too, and thus is a direct aid to the
work of the evangelist. These schools are a great aid indirectly
as well, as wherever we find a former pupil, man or woman, we
find an open door for the work. Sabbath schools in America are
counted the nursery of the Church. In Egypt a great many of
the organized churches had their beginning in a little school; and
as we go up and down the Valley o f the Nile we find that the
strongest and best o f our church members are those who have
been at some time pupils in our schools.
And so the work goes on. W e use all the means we can to
reach all. W e teach, we preach to Moslem, Copt and Protestant,
trying to bring all to a knowledge of the Saviour and to build
them up in the faith, so that they may bring others. Often the
Moslems are our most earnest and interested hearers, and some­
times they seem to comprehend such subjects as “ the new birth”
as well as many who are called Christians; and we believe that
many more would hear and respond were it not that they fear
persecution. Today an old Moslem woman was in a meeting
held in a Christian house. She remembered lessons she had heard
from Dr. and Mrs. Phillips and said that she believed in and
loved the Saviour. Mrs. Hart said to her, “ You confess this in
the house o f a Christian; are you willing to confess Him outside
among your own people?” She looked sad, and drew her hand
across her throat, indicating what would be done to her if she
so confessed. There are doubtless many more like her. W e hope
and pray for the day to come when there will be freedom to think
and act according to conscience.

The Monsurah district is situated on both sides of the Damietta branch of the Nile extending from Mit Ghamr to Damietla.
It is in the shape of a triangle with Mit Ghamr and Zifta at the
apex, and the sides extend into Baltimon, Lake Borollos, and
Mataria on Lake Wenzala, respectively, the base being these lakes
and the Mediterranean Sea.
It includes all of Dakahlia province, o f which Monsurah is
the capital, and parts of Sharkia and Gharia. It contains the
cities o f Monsurah, Mahalla, El Kubra, Damietta and Belkas with
populations from 25,000 to 50,000; Mit Ghamr, Zifta, Mataria,
and Samanud with about 15,000 each; while it has a large number
o f towns with from eight to twelve thousand and hundreds with
from two to eight thousand. The census shows 616 towns in all.
The Arabic language is spoken almost exclusively by the
native people who constitute all but about five or six thousand o f
the population, o f whom over half are Greeks, who are most needy
for the word o f God.
Ninety-eight per cent, of the people are Moslems, a little less
than two per cent. Christians, and about one-seventh of one per
cent. Jews. The majority of the Christians are Copts, but there
are some Roman Catholics, Maronites, Greek Orthodox and
Greek Catholics. Less than two hundred can be counted as
evangelical Christians, and o f the 30,000 other Christians, very
few indeed have any real knowledge of Christ or any marks o f
the new birth in their lives. If you ask them whether they are
Christian, they will say, “ Do you not see the cross tatooed on my
wrist ?”
There are at least eight towns that ought to be occupied by
a strong mission staff in order adequately to meet the needs o f
this field, whereas there is now but one station and that insuffi­
ciently manned. Besides Monsurah, Damietta, Mataria, Belkas,
Dakemis, Simbellawein, Mahalla, and Mit Ghamr or Zifta, or
perhaps both, should be occupied.
The Monsurah station was opened in 1865 but has been about
the most poorly occupied station o f our mission, never having
a full fledged missionary appointed to it, but always one who was
yet struggling with the Arabic.
In the way o f equipment, Monsurah has but one building, a
church and boys’ school combined. It is a good building, erected
by the lamented Dr. Finney, but it is poorly lighted, as high build­
ings around it now obstruct the air and light. The mission needs
a large property suitable for boys’ and girls’ schools and resi­
dences for missionaries and lady teachers, in a good healthful loca­
tion with plenty o f room for playgrounds and garden.

E V A N G E L IS T IC .
In addition to the church and pastor at Monsurah, there are
evangelists o f the presbytery in Mahalla el Kubra, Simbellawein
and Mit Ghamr and these visit regularly Samanud, Agar, Dakadus and Zifta. The Milton Stewart Fund has made it possible to
employ evangelists at Damietta, Shirbin, Mataria, suburbs of
Monsurah and Dakernis, who visit regularly Fareskur, Menzala,
Belkas, Biela and Bessandila, and the Christian Endeavor society
of Monsurah with the evangelist there visits Talkha, Ezbat, Matta, Nauwasa el Bah, Nauwasa el Gheit, Naburuh, Batra and
Bedawai.
Colporteurs of the Joint Colportage ’ Committee of Cairo
visit the district occasionally but none of them live in it now. A
colporteur of the Bible society lived and worked in Monsurah
until June, 1917, but since the concentration of such work in
Tanta, the visits have been from that point. A book shop at
Monsurah supplies the needs o f the schools, but has a very small
sale o f religious books and Scriptures.
The work is in the main encouraging and the war has not
affected our work much, except as it has cut down the American
staff. W e trust, however, the post-bellum days may see the occu­
pation o f Egypt on the basis of “ the 407,” and that the work will
go on apace.
There are a number of inquiries among the Moslems. Some
of the Coptic priests are very friendly and we enjoy co-operating
with them: others are most indifferent, and we go to their people
trying to get them to crown the living Christ in their lives;
others again are antagonistic and treat us worse than the Moslems
do. I am glad to say that those o f the latter class are becoming
fewer and fewer.
In Mit Ghamr the Copts have thrown out their old priest who
was very antagonistic to the entrance of the truth, and have
called a live young spiritually-minded man, and the Zifta people
wish to .do the same. W e trust that the ejected priest may not get
the hierarchy to tie the hands of the young Timothy.
Our work from the “Allegheny” has certainly enjoyed God’s
good hand. When Dr. Pollock went home to America and a
regular doctor for the “ Allegheny” was not available, it looked
rather dark, for it was felt in some quarters that little could be
done without a doctor. But we have tried to follow up the work
of these doctors and have found that though the presence of the
doctor brought more people, yet those few who do come now are
most earnest in their search for truth. W e can talk with them
one by one. God alone knows what the result will be.
The question of fuel has been a difficult one, but our prayers
have been answered in this also. Swiss, Greek and Moslem have
vied with each other in helping the gospel bark to make its cruise.
Last year when we knew not how we would get on, a friendly
92
Egypt— M onsurah.
Swiss who had been befriended years ago by one of our mission­
aries donated us a ton of wood. Then we heard that wood was
cheap in Assiut and we bought three tons there and our sister
ship the “ Witness,” brought it to Cairo for us.
There have been many humorous episodes. At Batra we
were taken first for a German warship come to bombard Egypt,
then for an English ship come to carry away men for the labor
corps, and finally for a quack doctor who had taken from the
people 200 pounds for operations to be performed and had never
returned; but when they found we were none of these, they came
willingly to be healed and to listen to gospel truth. Last year a
worse report was scattered after we left Mit Ghamr, namely, that
we were German spies and had wireless telegraph instruments
on board with which we gave the enemy news of everything here
in Egypt, and that we had been arrested and taken to prison,
boat and all. This story went everywhere that we had been, and
Moslems came from far to see if we were still here and rejoiced
that the story was not true. A Moslem official said, “ Some one
has told this to hurt your work, but I am sure it will only make
your work succeed the more.” Thank God that those of the M os­
lem faith were so rejoiced.
W omen’s W ork— There is one Bible woman in Monsurah
and two at Mit Ghamr, all doing fine work.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
There are mission schools in Agah, Simbellawein, and Mit
Ghamr in addition to those in Monsurah.
MEDICAL.
There is no medical work in the district at present, but Dr.
A. W . Pollock accompanied the “ Allegheny” from January to
March, 1916, and Dr. L. M. Henry from October to December,
1916, and two weeks in the fall of 1917.
What our district needs is more men and women. More
missionaries to superintend and more native workers to carry
on the intensive work under their care. The native people are
easily discouraged, but with sympathetic missionaries as leaders
they will compel the forces of Satan and Islam to give way more
speedily than the Boches in front o f the Allies’ last charge.
W e need a special car for work on the Delta lines of the
Nile, as we have for the towns between the two branches. W e
need a car on the French lines below Monsurah to work all that
region. The “ Allegheny” can go only a third o f the way to the
lake. W e need training schools for workers and small home depart­
ments for workers’ children and other poor pupils in our schools
in Monsurah. W e need at least ten married men and their wives
and ten single men. The harvest is ripe, the laborers are few,
but pray ye the Lord of the harvest that He send forth laborers

Our Tanta distiict does not exactly coincide with the politi­
cal division, but roughly it would correspond with the lines of
the Gharbia province. Geographically, Tanta district includes the
central and northern part of the territory lying between the two
branches o f the Nile.
In size, this district includes nearly one sixth of the area of
Egypt or about 2300 square miles. The population is about a
million and a half, one person to the acre, or 640 to the square
mile,— not the densest part of the country, but several times as
dense as Ohio. Our Tanta district would cover the space of
about four Ohio counties, while the population would be that of
perhaps thirty counties.
Missionary work in Tanta was begun about twenty years
ago and has experienced during this time frequent changes in staff
and at times retrenchment, but there has been growth in influence
and in results.
The staff of our mission is the lowest in number it has been
for many years and now includes only Rev. and Mrs. R. W . Cald­
well, and the Misses Minnehaha Finney and C. E. McMillan and
Miss May Holland, who is in Palestine at present engaged in re­
lief work. The reduced force in this, as well as in many other
stations, is partly due to the war. At the present moment we
have equipment which we are not able to use, which is an un­
usual condition on a mission field. Our property in Tanta con­
sists o f hospital, land, and buildings well situated and ready for
use. This property covering five acres, and a new site of seven
acres recently secured for the girls’ boarding school, are the prop­
erty o f the Women’s Board. The mission also owns property in
two villages which is used for school or meeting purposes.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
During the past three years this part of our work has seen
considerable extension, especially in the increase of our force of
Egyptian helpers. The Milton Stewart Fund has made possible
the employment of five or six additional workers, and by assign­
ing them "to the chief centers and their surrounding villages, we
have reached large sections of the district that had scarcely been
touched before. A few years ago Mr. Coventry prepared a plan
for the occupation of this district and marked fifteen circles, each
with a three-mile radius and a good sized town at the center, so
94
Egypt— Tanta.
that the most important places were included. During the past
two years we have had this plan before us and we have worked in
all but two o f these circles for at least a few months. This has
been possible because of the new workers referred to. In some of
these centers regular meeting’s have been carried on with more
or less success. One man reported a total weekly average attend­
ance of two hundred. Another reported an average of twelve
to fifteen villages visited per month. In each place there is gen­
erally found a small number o f Coptic Christians, who are always
first to be visited, though the population is overwhelmingly Mos­
lem and the Moslems are often more easily influenced. No doubt
the war has had an influence on our work in every way, and yet
the work has gone on regularly.
The Delta Car has been operating on the railway lines of
this district for the past three years. The car is a monument to
the genius o f Mr. Coventry who designed it, had it constructed
and was instrumental in getting a good contract with the Delta
Light Railroad Company for its operation on their lines. The
railway is narrow gauge and has eighty stations in this district
where there are sidings which may be used. No restrictions are
made as to the length of time we may stop at any station nor as
to how often we may move. Charges are made per kilometer and
have not proved to be excessive, and so we now have a modern
and comfortable means of reaching the villages. The car con­
tains a very small kitchen, dining room and two small bed rooms.
During the past three years w e have had soldiers in Tanta
and thus an opportunity for Y. M. C. A. work, which was car­
ried on successfully by Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Boyd and later by
Miss Minnehaha Finney. The Arabic Young Men’s Club rooms
furnished a suitable place for this work and many a soldier has
been ministered to here.
Women’s W ork— In regard to the work among women Miss
Finney writes:—
"There are 500,000 women in the Tanta district. Last year
520, of whom 135 were Moslems, had the gospel regularly pre­
sented to them. Any person good at figures can estimate the pro­
portion not reached. The instruction has been based on a course
o f study in the life of Christ. The Bible women have taken great
interest in the presenting of these lessons, making an effort to
present them in the most attractive and effective way. It has
been interesting to note the effect on the Bible women o f the
little instruction that I have been able to give them in methods of
presenting these precious lessons in the life of our Saviour. This
has been the keynote of encouragement during the past year.
Heretofore the teaching in the homes of the women has too often
been done in a haphazard way and seemed pitiably ineffective,
and even now we have made a mere beginning at the task of giv­
ing our Bible women this special instruction in Bible study and
Egypt — Tanta.
95
in methods of teaching the simple truths of the Bible. I have
estimated that these ten Bible women made at least ten thousand
visits during the past year. I have been much impressed with the
wonderful opportunity. Our aim is that the workers may be
properly equipped so as to make every visit fruitful. Another
thing which gives encouragement is the fact that several of the
Bible women have found that they may have easy entrance to the
homes o f Moslem women. One woman now visits only in Mos­
lem homes.”
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Village Schools— The past few years have seen a gradual
decrease in the number of mission schools and in the place which
they have held in the community. This falling behind has been
due to the increased cost of operating and to the increased num­
ber and efficiency of other schools. Often it is now true that
where there are other schools in the town the mission school is
the smallest, and sometimes the weakest. As there has been no
increase in our budget for education, it has become increasingly
difficult to make ends meet. It may well be that most of these
schools have served their purpose in furnishing an opening wedge
into these towns and that now some change of policy may be called
for.
A forward step has recently been taken in the Delta schools
by placing all of them under the charge of Rev. A. A. Thompson,
the general superintendent of schools. This has brought about
uniformity in the grading of the schools and has tended to econ­
omy and efficiency. Three of the schools in this district are now
on a subsidy basis.
Girls’ School— The thing of outstanding importance in the
years 1916-1918 is the securing of a new site for the school. This
new site contains almost seven acres and is located directly op­
posite the hospital property, across a street known as Kitchener
Boulevard. Our hearts are filled with gratitude to God for this
evidence of His favor.
Our attendance far exceeds the proper capacity of our pres­
ent building. To accommodate all we have had to use the land­
ing at the foot o f the stairs at the street entrance as a classroom
for beginners; and the playground in good weather and an inside cloakroom in bad weatheV, as an overflow classroom.
Receipts have been good despite the hard times. The tuitions
the past year amounted to $175 more than the cost of instruction.
During the three years six girls have united with the church
and twenty-three have graduated from the school.
Our two greatest problems have been the securing of cap­
able, Christian teachers, and the limitations of our present build­
ing. Now that the war is over we hope that it will soon be pos­
sible to begin the erection of the new building. The day in which
96

the work of erection is begun will be a red letter day in the school
calendar.

The Tanta Hospital, which was being remodelled and en­
larged at the opening of the war, was finally completed some­
what over a year ago and is now ready for fixtures and staff. It
is the absence of staff that is most to be regretted at present. W e
have the unusual condition o f having fine buildings suitable for
the best kind of mission work, but alas, with no one to operate
the institution.
Dr. A. F. Grant continued to conduct the clinic until the
time o f his leaving for America, when Dr. F. C. McClanahan took
charge and continued until his removal to Assiut to help carry
on the established work in the hospital there. Since that time
we have no medical work here to report. It is a most distressing
situation we are in and the inquiries o f patients nearly every day
for the doctor remind us of the possibilities and need for medical
work.
The splendid opportunity for medical missions in Egypt was
strongly brought out at the Mena House Conference last April.
The treatment of hookworm patients was presented as affording'
the simplest and most effective form of missionary work. Our
mission has no doctors available at present for the opening of
the work at Tanta. W e might express this as our most crying
need at this time.
ZAGAZIG.
Equipment—A building in which are the residences of the mission­
aries, the book depot, Girls’ Central School, and residences for
some o f its teachers, the B oys’ Central School and the church.
The boundaries of the Zagazig district in general follow
those o f the Sharkia province, of which Zagazig is the capital,
except that the territory around Bilbeis is considered the field of
the Egypt General Mission, and the city of Port Said is con­
sidered a part o f our district.
The station was opened in 1894 with Rev. J. Kruidenier as
missionary.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Prior to 1917 the evangelistic work of the mission was car­
ried on by the pastor o f the church in Zagazig, the missionary
in charge, the school teachers out o f school hours, and by the
theological students during their summer vacations, but now two
centers have been established with a regular worker in each and
two new Bible women have been employed, these four workers
being supported by the Milton Stewart Fund, and giving their

full time to the work of evangelizing the thousands and hundreds
of thousands of our district. The Synod of the Nile has also
appointed one of its licentiates to the district of Mit Yaish, which
is a large field.
Our work still seems not to be a problem of reaping the har­
vest, but o f rooting out thorns and briers and preparing the soil
so that the seed can be planted. In this district Copts from time
to time turn Moslem, as they have done all through the cen­
turies past. An old man whom we found, the only Copt in his
village, may be taken as a typical example of many of these
nominal Christians. The rudely drawn cross on his door re­
vealed the home of a Christian, but in answer to our questions
he could tell us nothing of the meaning of the cross. A mile
away were a Coptic church and a Coptic priest, but he had not
taken the trouble to go there. Some of his relatives had turned
Moslem. In a nearby village a government official of some rank
had once been a Copt, but turned Moslem, and when we talked
to him of the real Christ, appeared most fanatical.
But we take courage from the attitude and interest of the
many who hear the gospel. They are timid about attending meet­
ings, but by the roadside, in their homes and at places where
prayer is wont to be made, one can easily gather a group willing
to hear the gospel. I well remember the look of surprise that
covered a Sheikh’s face as he read for the first time the Sermon
on the Mount. As he read the teachings about lust and hatred
he gained an entirely new conception of sin.
For the last eighteen years the work in Zagazig has been
under the guidance and special care o f Rev. and Mrs. S. G. Hart.
As one travels throughout this wide district, he realizes more and
more the wonderful influence o f long-continued mission careers
in a single district. A man on the train wants to know what kind
of a missionary you are, when you tell him your business, and by
way of introduction he usually says: “ Do you belong to Mr.
Hart ?” He knows nothing about Christian sects, about United
Presbyterianism, non-conformity or episcopacy or even Protes­
tantism. All he knows of true Chrisitan principles is what he
has observed in a living type.
Almost ever since the beginning of the war there have been
Bjritish soldiers in Zagazig and we have held an English service
for them every Sabbath evening which has been much appreci­
ated.
The work for women is largely confined to Zagazig, as it
has been difficult to make living arrangements for the women
workers in the villages. One of the young women, however, has
started work in her own village this year. Miss Baird tells the
following incident o f the work in Zagazig:
“ The door of a mud hut was open. A mother and grand­

old daughter, who lay on a bit of mat, just as she was when her
spirit departed a few hours before. All was silent. There were
no mourners. The mother’s grief was too deep for tears. In
the grandmother’s lap was a piece of muslin, a very rusty and
broken pair o f scissors and a spool of thread. I had gone that
morning with the Bible teacher praying to be guided to new M os­
lem houses. Startled by this sight, we entered. Our sisters in
sorrow were much more startled at seeing us enter, and could
not understand why we strangers and Christians should be con­
cerned about their trouble. When they saw that it was love that
had drawn us in, the grandmother said, ‘W e don’t know how to
cut the grave robe. W ill you do it?’ I had never seen one, and
the Bible teacher being a young girl had never made one, but
with the aid of her description I cut out the simple garment. The
Bible teacher, though she had never done such a thing, volun­
teered to wash the body while I sewed. This was most surpris­
ing to them, as a young girl is not supposed to attend a mourn­
ing, much less to prepare the body for burial. When the father
came along with the rough box, he begged us to take at least 25
cents, thinking we had rendered our service for money. His
gratitude was pathetic when we told him we had done only what
sisters would do. The door o f the hut is still open and on the
mat sits a thirsty soul learning from the Bible teacher.”
Many such homes have been entered, but what of those thou­
sands yet unentered. The cry of many villages of our district
is, “ Come over and help us.” Our answer to all save three is,
‘ ■'No one to send.” At present we have funds for six Bible teach­
ers ; we need three times six.

Boys’ Central School— The Boys’ Central School in Zagazig
has reason to be proud o f its record in the mission’s primary ex­
aminations during the past three years. Last year the school
was not only again the banner school, but it surpassed its own
former record. Every student passed in every subject. In spite
of the competition o f a strong Coptic school nearby, the enrol­
ment has averaged about two hundred and forty pupils each
year. O f these about one half are Moslems, one third Copts, and
the rest Protestants, Jews, and others. The xnierest in the Bible
classes has been quickened by the outlining o f a program of les­
sons and by supervision o f the religious teaching. In order to
stimulate the social, moral and religious life of the students, lit­
erary contests have been held, special attention has been given to
the students’ play, and special evangelistic meetings have been
arranged. The teachers who have come from Assiut College
have aided greatly with their spirit and enthusiasm.

ence and opposition, through lack at times of teachers with the
evangelistic spirit, and through complaints arising from the high
cost of living, yet the general trend has been one o f progress and
development.
Girls’ Central School— In the Girls’ Central School, of Zagazig, improvement has been noted in many ways. As to the char­
acter o f the pupils we must remember that it is not developed in
a day. One of the native teachers who has been long with the
school remarked, “ The girls are like angels now to what they
formerly were.” However, there is evidence that they are still
perfectly human. While few have publicly confessed Christ as
their Saviour, prejudices have gradually weakened, and we have
reason to believe that many are followers of Christ. Mohamme­
dans and Copts alike seem much interested in their Bible classes
and often the Mohammedan girls rank highest. The girls readily
take part in the Christian Endeavor meetings and they also have
a missionary society which meets once a month, at which the lands
of India, Japan and South America have been studied. W e are
always thankful when the Mohammedan girls are permitted to
remain in school until they finish the course. Two of them com­
pleted the course last year, one of whom is now numbered, among
our teachers. No teacher is more faithful in her work or more
interested in the welfare of the girls than she. While she has
not openly made a profession, we believe that in her heart she is
a Christian. Another o f our teachers, a Protestant, was educated
in our school. One of our primary teachers had the privilege of
going to Alexandria for a few weeks last spring to “ observe” in
the kindergarten department of the Central School there. It
wrought quite a change in her methods of teaching.
K afr el Hukama is a primary school which was started by
Mrs. Hart about twelve years ago for the benefit of children who
lived at a distance from the Central School or who were unable
to pay the fees there. W e hope to make it an ideal primary school
soon, and only wish we had two other such schools in other quar­
ters of the city. The enrolment of K afr el Hukama is seventyfive. The children receive Bible instruction every day.
The
school also serves as a place for women’s meetings in that dis­
trict. The Sabbath school here is quite interesting, one o f the
features being a class made up o f street children who do not at­
tend the day school.

The prevailing tone of the past three years’ work in the book
department is quiet success. Freight rates have compelled us to
order fewer lines from outside and to have those we did order
sent by mail. W e have lost a shipment or two totaling some $250,
but in the main we have been remarkably fortunate in receiving
100

our orders. W e hope that now the seas will soon be cleared up
and things come through as promptly and safely as they did be­
fore the war. W e are also rejoicing in establishing communica­
tions with the American Press, Beirut, Syria, and are beginning to
replenish our exhausted stock of their excellent publications. W e
have been fortunate also in much o f our buying, having secured
good stock in many lines before the prices went up so greatly.
In fact, the stock in general is in far better condition now than
at any previous time since the present management took it over
six years ago. Our Egyptian stock keeper, who thought for a time
we had a touch of madness in our heavy buying, now goes about
with anxious face fearing he may not have enough of certain lines
to last us through.
The outstanding feature of the recent work of the depart­
ment has been the distribution of the new version of the Arabic
Psalter. This was put out in three styles— in editions of 2500,
20,000 and 15,000, respectively. The third style has been held
back for a time, as it is a book of selections, and it was desired
that the entire book might first be brought into use in the Church.
O f the first edition, about 1500 have been sent out; of the second,
about 14,000, and o f the third, some 3000. Thus more copies
have been distributed than will supply every member of our Egyp­
tian Evangelical Church with a book. Just recently an order came
for Psalters for the Copts in Khartum. W e have supplied other
orders also for outside organizations. So the book is making
its way into other communities than our own. W e send it out
with the prayer that God may use it mightily in the advance of
His Kingdom throughout the Nile Valley. The new version is
simple, but good. The average man reads it with understanding,
and the more educated cannot despise its literary style. The peo
pie like the tunes, and altogether the book is laying hold of the
Church in a most gratifying way. W e have reason to “ thank
God and take courage.”
In July, 1917, the British and Foreign Bible Society, having
previously arranged the matter with us, withdrew from their
direct co-operation with us through our shops, and established a
central base for colporteurs’ residence and depot at Tanta. This
makes for much closer supervision of their men and consequent­
ly for more efficient work. It threw an increased financial bur­
den on our book department, however, as the Bible Society had
been bearing a share of the expense for those shops to which their
colporteurs reported. This necessitated closing our Tanta shop
as a mission establishment. The shopman keeps it on his own ac­
count and supplies our schools and churches as before, and
the British and Foreign Bible Society distributes the Scriptures,
so we feel there has been no real loss to the work in that section.
In the other districts concerned, new arrangements were made
without closing down the shops and these are working now even

more efficiently than before. Our cordial relations with the Brit­
ish and Foreign Bible Society still continue even though there
is no longer any financial co-operation. The work done by the
Society is of great value in the field, and, in fact, we have been
dependent on them for most of our Scripture stock since the war,
as the American Bible Society has been unable to secure stock
from Beirut or Constantinople.
The American Bible Society continues its good work in spite
of all difficulties. High cost of living has caused a few colpor­
teurs to leave the service and seek more remunerative employ­
ment, but in the main our men have bravely gone on with their
work. They have been true messengers of the Lord, preaching
in season and out of season— if by any means men might be
saved. The record of distribution for the American Bible Socie­
ty for the past three years is as follow s:

Dr. Bowen, the Levant representative of the Society, was
called to the heavenly service during this period. For some time
no one was appointed to his work and the Egypt agency stood
on its own feet. Late in 1918 word came that the Levant work
had been divided into a Turkish-speaking and an Arabic-speak­
ing agency. The Rev. F. E. Hoskins, D.D., of Beirut. Syria, is
acting as head o f the latter agency for the time being. With
his knowledge of Arabic and his acquaintance with the peoples
of this section, the work should be very successful under his ad­
ministration.
W e still continue the joint colportage scheme, though for a
time it threatened to collapse. The co-operating societies are the
Church Missionary Society, the Egypt General Mission, the Nile
Mission Press, and our own American Mission. The W orld’s
Sunday School Association is also supporting one of the four­
teen men in the field. The greatest financial need of the book de­
partment of our mission is for special regular supporters who will
contribute the salaries and expenses of these colpofteurs. These
men are really traveling evangelists and are carefully chosen.
Any one who can put $200 a year into our hands for the sup­
port of one o f these men will be making possible an extension of
one of the most potent factors in the evangelization of Egypt.
Some extracts from monthly reports of the colporteurs are ap­
pended.
102
Egypt-—Distribution o f Literature.
1. “ During this month I have been to several villages I had
not previously visited because they were so far away. What con­
cerns me even more than the mere sale of books is to talk to men
about the gospel of Christ. I am always preaching in little coun­
try places and I would like you to think of me more as a lay
preacher than a salesman.” This man is a Mohammedan convert
o f some thirty-five years standing.
2. “ In talking with three Copts and two Mohammedans, I
asked the Copts whether they had given themselves to Christ as
the only Saviour, and when they said they had, I asked whether
they systematically read the Bible. They replied that they read
it very seldom, so I pointed out that as we eat to strengthen the
body, so we need God’s word to strengthen the soul.” He goes
on to say that he reads and prays with every man who takes him
into his house for the night. The report mentions no less than
fifty small towns and villages he had visited in one month, in
many cases on foot.
3. One colporteur found the printed report space insuffi­
cient, but pasted on a slip, making a report some six times the
usual size, telling of his evangelistic opportunities. He reported
having spoken during that month at fifteen meetings and having
had twenty-three personal religious conversations. Such a re­
port from some would be suspicious, but this man is known for
his zeal and religious earnestness. He is a thoroughly good col­
porteur and evangelistic worker.
4. “ Last Wednesday I visited T
and found a funeral
there. One hundred and twenty people had come to condole
with the mourners, and two Coptic priests had come to conduct
the services. They asked me if I would say a word, because they
saw me carrying religious books. So I opened my Bible at John
II, and preached for an hour and a half on the resurrection. As
soon as I had finished, the priests asked me to write down the
chief points of my talk and I did so. They then asked me to
visit their villages and preach in their churches some day.” The
superintendent says this young man, who does not sell much, does
preach and preach till he is too tired to keep on.
These men bear a tremendous burden, both literally and fig­
uratively, and for the most part bear it joyfully. They need your
help.
Statistics are cold things and usually uninteresting, but for
additional information, we would say that during these three
years the six local bookshops which we at present maintain dis­
tributed as follows:

The other expenses of the six shops during the same period,
not including the cost of books and supplies sold, are $1988.30.
In addition to these six shops we have the maintenance of the
general store from which stock is supplied to the local shops.
It should be noted also that the figures for the new Arabic Psal­
ter are in addition to those of the shops, as that distribution was
handled separately.
Besides the special need for funds to support colporteurs,
there is always need for funds for publication work. Good liter­
ature in Arabic, other than directly religious, is very scarce. With
the closing o f the war we hope prices o f paper and supplies may
decrease so as to make it possible to produce literature at a rea­
sonable cost, and we have very limited funds at our disposal for
this purpose. The book department receives no funds from the
mission budget, and is dependent for its work on whatever special
contributions may be received. The opportunity is present. The
need is great. What will you do?
T H E E G Y P T IA N CH URCH .
The pride and the hope of our mission in Egypt is the Evan­
gelical Church. Its roots go back to the Egyptian Church of the
early centuries, the Church of Origen and Athanasius, back to
the race of the Pharaohs; and it is reaching out its branches to
the proud sons of Ishmael, the many millions now claimed by the
Arabian prophet.
One must feel no small measure of admiration for those
pioneer missionaries who toiled on cheerfully and hopefully for
five years before seeing their first converts. And even then these
numbered but four. Yet the workers showed their faith by or­
ganizing the Presbytery of Egypt a few months later. And ten
years had not elapsed from the time of their arrival in 1854 till
a theological seminary was under way, preparing a body of trained
native workers, when the Church had as yet but one organized
congregation and a few score members. The foundations were
being laid broad and deep.
104
Egypt— The Egyptian Church.
The end o f fifteen years found but three organized congre­
gations, one hundred and eighty members, one ordained native
minister and no pastorate yet formed. But the infant Church had
weathered a fiery persecution from without and a threatened divi­
sion within and displayed an eager zeal in winning others to the
truth. Conditions were now ripe for the expansion which rapidly
followed.
When twice fifteen years more have passed, we find no less
than half a hundred organized churches and thirty-one ordained
ministers. And the Presbytery o f Egypt at its meeting in Febru­
ary, 1899, resolved in order to prosecute its work more effective­
ly to divide into four presbyteries (a fifth was added when the
work extended to the Sudan), and organize these into a synod
called The Synod o f the Nile. The Egyptian Church had “ found
herself.”
The twenty years that followed, bringing us to the present
time, have been years of continued enlargement. The organized
churches now number nearly a hundred with twice as many other
stations where work is carried o n ; there are four score of or­
dained ministers with half as many more licentiates and theologi­
cal students; the membership has reached a total of 14,091; and
the contributions for church purposes amounted last year to $58,666; forty churches are wholly self-supporting, and most of the
others nearly so. Wherever a church is found, there is also a
Sabbath school, and usually a day school supported by the con­
gregation. The Church is self-governing, both in its local and its
larger work, the missionaries seldom exercising more than an
advisory influence.
In comparison with the rest of the population, the member­
ship o f the Church shows a high average o f intelligence, of moral
uprightness and material prosperity. The evangelical community
has produced characters, both men and women, worthy to rank
with the best in any land or age. Her leaders in the ministry
are educated, devoted and self-sacrificing. Through all the years
no small amount of missionary zeal has continued to move the
Church in behalf of the unsaved. And from time to time we
have seen flames o f revival break forth that were evidence of the
favor of the Lord and His purpose to fulfill His word, “ Blessed
be Egypt, my people.”
The past three years have witnessed two most significant de­
velopments. The first is a vigorous Laymen’s Movement, which
has already accomplished great things in quickening the sense
of Christian stewardship and the other obligations, and brought
the Church within sight of the goal o f complete self-support. And
the second has been the taking of steps on the part of the Church,
with the hearty encouragement of the Mission, to found and con­
duct her own Theological Seminary on a scale worthy of the great
field about her and the great future to which she looks forward.

Egypt— Mikhail Mansur.

There are not lacking elements in the life of the Church that
at times arouse grave apprehension. But on the other hand, he
would be blind indeed who could not see much to inspire the
highest hopes that the Church in Egypt will yet realize the ideals
of her Master and accomplish the work for which He brought her
into being.
M IKHAIL MANSUR.
In the death of Mikhail Mansur, Egypt’s most prominent
convert from Islam and most able worker among Moslems, on
May 29, 1918, the mission and church in that land suffered a
great loss.
On graduation from El-Azhar, the famous Mohammedan
University in Cairo, about a quarter o f a century before, he had
never yet seen a copy o f the Bible. One fell into his hands short­
ly afterward and be became a diligent student of it in secret, say­
ing afterwards that its words burned like a fire in his soul, an
effect the Koran had never had though he knew it by heart. He
met frequently with the Protestant preacher in his native town, to
which he had returned. And in course of time the revolution
took place which changed the proud Moslem Sheikh into a fol­
lower of the lowly Nazarene.
H e was timid in those days and feared baptism in his own
town. There being some delay or misunderstanding in arrang­
ing the matter, he went to a Roman Catholic church in another
town and was there baptized. For some two years he remained
with the Catholics as a teacher in their schools, during which
time they took him to Rome and introduced him to the Pope as
a trophy from Islam. But this journey with some incidents that
followed served to open his eyes to the errors of Rome, and he
soon afterward returned to the Protestant Church, of which he
remained a loyal member as long as he lived.
P'or some time he served as a teacher in the mission schools
and to young missionaries. But before long there came to him
and to others the strong conviction of a call for him to preach the
gospel to his Moslem brethren. There was some fear at first lest
his knowledge of the Bible and grasp of Christian truth prove
insufficient for such work. But the fears proved ungrounded.
A meeting was opened in one of the school rooms in Cairo. Only
a dozen or two attended at first and most of them Christians.
After some time he began to give opportunity for questions, which
rapidly increased the size of the audience till the time came when
no building was sufficient to hold the crowds, almost wholly com­
posed of Moslems, many o f them students from the Azhar.
They always heard first a clear, strong gospel message based
on some text of Scripture. Then would follow a discussion of
some theme related to Islam or an opportunity for questions. He
proved a master controversialist, seldom failing to meet any emer­
106

gency successfully. And, while he spoke with utmost plainness,
he was so unfailingly fair and frank and friendly that even though
he did not succeed in convincing his opponent, he always won his
good will. H ow many were definitely won to the truth it would
not be easy to say,— his own brother was one— but the minds of
very many were opened and the widest hearing gained for the
gospel message. For eighteen years these meetings continued
twice each week, fluctuating in attendance from a few score to
many hundreds, while the preacher was often called to other
parts o f the country to give his message.
In view of the fact that he was an apostate from their faith,
it was remarkable the respect the Moslems showed him. The
timidity of the early days completely left him, and he mingled
among them with the greatest freedom, even in the sacred pre­
cincts of the Azhar. His perfect use of the Arabic tongue and
his mastery of all the literature o f Islam as well as his knowl­
edge of the Scriptures compelled their admiration. Some series
o f addresses he gave in the later years on “ The Integrity of the
Scriptures,” “ The Marks o f a True Prophet” and “ Incidental
Evidences o f the Deity of Christ from the Scriptures,” will never
be forgotten by those who heard them.
He was a man o f striking presence, being of large frame,
with a fine shapely head and open face. His figure would have
commanded attention anywhere. He had a quick sense of humor,
a rare friendliness of manner and an unvarying courtesy to all
with whom he came in contact. He loved books and was seldom
seen without one under his arm. But he loved men more and
counted his friends among all classes. And he knew well how
to turn every opportunity to account in witness for Christ.
When one by his death bed told him he was praying for his
recovery, he said, “ Pray that God will do His will in Mikhail.”
W hy it was God’s will to call him away at scarcely more than
middle life, we do not know. But we do not believe that His plans
have miscarried. W e thank God for this princely soul that has
passed on into the King’s Country.

INTRODUCTION.
Three eventful years have passed since we sent our last re­
port. Our mission field, “ Far north in India,” has been sheltered
from many of the tragedies and sacrifices experienced in the
lands that lie where the storm of war has raged with greatest fury,
yet here too sorrow and death and suffering have come.
From all the districts India’s stalwart sons enlisted by thou­
sands in the armies of the empire, and from Jhelum and Rawal
Pindi, the great Mohammedan districts, fired by the martial tra­
ditions of centuries, men enlisted until the villages seemed well
nigh deserted by men of military age. Not all who went returned.
Many families are bereaved, but those returning have a world
vision they did not have before, and because of the touch of Chris­
tianity through its many agencies of helpfulness and mercy, are
Teady for the message of Christianity as they never were bêfore.
All previous efforts to secure for our Christians the right
to enlist had failed. The war brought them this opportunity and
in large numbers our Punjabi Christians responded to the call of
their Government. T o follow them in their army life has been
one o f the Church’s problems in the years just past. T o help
them in the readjustments that must come as they return, unwill­
ing as many of them are to go back into the condition of serfs, is
one of her great problems for the present and the future.
Missionaries and Indians have all tried to “ do their bit” in
winning the war. Through the Red Cross and the Young Men's
Christian Association ; through chaplaincy work in the Christian
regiment, in some of the cantonments and in Mesopotamia ;
through active leadership in enlistment and in many other ways,
active sendee has been loyally rendered.
Much o f our time has been given to the spiritual care of the
large Christian community. Its need is great. The opportunity,
too, is great, but the reports tell o f wide open doors on every side
for work among the non-Christians and of their readiness to hear
and inquire and accept— for we are not left without the encourage­
ment o f some who accept.
116
India— Introdu ction.
Books, especially Gospel portions, have been sold in larger
numbers than ever before. In Rawal Pindi district alone this last
year over 3,200 boks were sold, 2,500 of them being Scripture
portions and in Rawal Pindi City an additional 2,500. In other
districts also the totals are large.
In the Christian work nothing perhaps inspires more hope
than the choosing and training of the eldership. Organized con­
gregations in every group of villages with at least one trained el­
der in every village is the practical ideal before us toward which
we are working.
Only twice, during the three years has death entered our mis­
sion circle, but in the epidemic of influenza our Christian com­
munity lost heavily, and in its sorrows we have sorrowed. Many
o f our strongest and best Christian Indian leaders have fallen.
There have been discouragements, but the encouragements
have been far greater. With a Christian Church growing stronger
in service, with doors o f opportunity standing wide open before
us, and with the Church at home assuring us of larger and larger
reinforcements o f men and money, we thank God and take cour­
age. .

IN MEMORIAM..
AIM00 IRannte 3. Spencer.
Born at Portland Mills, Indiana, August the third, 1866.
Arrived in the Mission Field, December the fourth, 1894.
Died at Murree, India, September the fourth, 1916.
A devoted missionary, a loving faithful friend, a wise coun­
selor, a beautiful, quiet-hearted daughter of the King- left our
mission circle when Nannie J. Spencer was called to her crowning.
Her name will always be associated with Lyallpur, for it was
there most o f her years in India were spent. She came with the
settlers just after the opening o f the canals which transformed
that great desert into a fruitful garden. Her first dwelling place
was in a tent pitched on the sun-scorched, barren sandy plain,
when there was no city and hardly a village. She watched the
settlers come crowding in and build their mud houses. She saw
the first brick bungalow erected at Lyallpur arid one of these
was the mission house.
In the early years persistent malaria was very prevalent in
this new country and she had to fight it continually. The sum­
mer heat was intense. Dust storms of almost cyclonic velocity
were frequent. Itinerating in winter among the new and rapidly
increasing villages, driving long miles beneath the desert sun,
tramping about in summer in dust inches deep in Lyallpur City
was no easy work, but to her the privilege of sowing the seed of
the kingdom of God on this fruitful soil was far greater than the
difficulties o f life and work in a new country.
Not sparing herself, nor allowing other things to crowd out
her first work as a missionary, she went daily among the Hindus,
Sikhs and Mohammedans with the message o f life, or spent hour?
instructing inquirers from the low castes and teaching the ignorant
Christian women. I remember her joy at a Sabbath village ser­
vice where some two hundred Christians were assembled for the
first time for the observance of the Lord’s supper.
She had the degree of Master of Arts and a scholarly, welldeveloped mind. Her ability to see things from all points of
view and her thoughtful, sane judgment were recognized, so her
work on various important committees of the mission was heavy.
Her tact, love, sympathy, and wisdom made her opinion prized,
but in conferences and discussions on the mission floor her voice
was seldom heard unless requested. When she spoke, her words
carried weight. She loved reading and study, yet she gave her
time and strength uncomplainingly and gladly to the illiterate,
118
India— In Memoriam.
ignorant women that they might know God and Jesus Christ
whom He has sent. Often they say of her now, “ She was ver}'good.”
She was so quiet that mere acquaintances were slow to ap­
preciate her intrinsic worth, but the circle of those who claimed
her friendship was far from small and they loved her most who
knew her best, for her friendship was true. “ Hers was the most
selfless life I have ever seen,” is the testimony of an Indian Chris­
tian lady, and her friends one and all testify that more than most
of us she loved self last of all
L ife’s difficulties, burdens and griefs she took to the Master
and learned in His presence how to meet them bravely and glori­
ously. The garment o f humility adorned her. She had learned
that “ The glory o f life is to love, not to be loved; to give, not to
g e t; to serve, not to be served,” so when the sudden summons
came, she was ready for the higher service.
M tb . ¿fflaij i i j n i l t i m g
Born February the twenty-fifth, 1867.
Arrived in the Mission Field, December the third, 1889.
Died December the twenty-eighth, 1917.
When we received the shocking news, that twenty-eighth of
December, that our dear Mrs. Holliday was no more, it seemed
that it simply could not be true. W e were not able to think o f
her in any way but as full of life and energy. O f all our friends
she was one of the last with whom thoughts of death could be
associated.
She was full of vivacity and enthusiasm and was intensely
interested in whatever was the duty at hand, bringing to the work
all her strength and ability. A large part o f her missionary life
was spent as a district missionary itinerating among the villages.
Sometimes it seems that one’s duty to the women and children of
the village runs directly counter to what is due one’s own chil­
dren. Mrs. Holliday seemed able to reconcile the two duties in
a remarkable way.
Always fond of children she never missed an opportunity
to gather them into a little class and teach them. She often re­
marked that the children were the great hope of the Indian
Church.
It was during the seven years spent in the Christian Train­
ing Institute that her greatest opportunity o f impressing young
lives was found. She cared for their little bodies, gave them medi­
cine, taught them habits of cleanliness, looked after the mending
of their clothes, and cared for them when they were ill and needed
mothering. Her junior societies during these days were a joy

119
and delight to her, and she was pleased with the evidences of the
zeal and faith o f their members.
Mrs. Holliday had a talent for helpfulness and the ability
to say the right word at the right time whether of encouragement,
approval or reproof. I f reproof were required she knew how
to give it without leaving a sting. She was pre-eminently a woman
of faith. It was of this faith that her abounding enthusiasm was
bom. Her faith triumphed even over death and the day before
she died she wrote, “ O f course, you know my trouble is incurable.
I do not know what is ahead, but it is in His hands and I can
trust His love.” Though we are happy that she escaped the ter­
rible suffering which often goes with illness, we mourn the heavy
loss we have been called upon to bear in our mission circle. Yet
learning from her we can say, “ It is in His hands, we trust His
love.”

Attock district lies on the eastern bank of the Indus River.
It is ninety-six miles long and seventy-two miles wide and its area
is 4178 square miles. It takes its name from the famous old ford
and fort at the juncture o f the Indus and Cabul Rivers at the
northwest corner of the district. The river there is now crossed
by a fine bridge which accommodates both railway and other
traffic. The population is over 400,000, o f which ninety-five per
cent, is Moslem. The Sikhs ruled here before the coming of the
British, but they had very little influence, as most of the tribes
wrere Moslem. These tribesmen are a wild, turbulent lot of men
who hold life cheap. The present Government holds them in
check, but there are bitter feuds among the chiefs. The country
is rough and stony. Ridges rising to 2000 and 3000 feet have
deep valleys between them, some of which are of sufficient width
to allow cultivation along the streams which are found in them.
These rivers are subject to sudden floods and have treacherous
quicksands that every year take their toll o f life. To the north,
on the banks of the Indus, lies the Chhach plain, nineteen miles
long and nine miles wide. This is the most fertile part of the
whole district and produces large crops of tobacco.
Hasan Abdal has been the sacred city of successive races and
splendid springs make it a popular resting place. It is not a large
city, but a very ancient one. It is sometimes called “ Panja
Sahib5' because the thing of greatest interest to the Sikhs is the
impression o f the five fingers of a hand on the rock over the plact
where the water rushes out into a small square tank full of sacred
fish. The story is that Guru Nanak, founder of the Sikh religion,
came to this place tired and thirsty and asked the Mohammedan
saint for a cup of water. Angry that an unbeliever should ask
him for a drink, Baba Wali hurled a huge stone at him. Nanak
caught it although it weighed several tons, and when he placed it
on the ground it was seen to bear the impression of his fingers.
He commanded water to flow from it, and from that time it has
never ceased to do so.
There are mineral resources in this district, but they are
only beginning to be developed. A little gold washing is done
along the Indus and rather extensive oil fields have recently been
opened up. The wells are situated between two jagged walls of
rock in a kind o f basin. There are five flowing wells and one in
process of being drilled, and the derrick is being erected for a
seventh. The best well runs 500 barrels a day, another 250, an­
other 200, and one only 70. The completed wells are slopped
up till the oil can be taken care of. The country being so rough.

to Rawal Pindi, a distance of fifty miles. A metal road is being
made which may later be utilized for motor traffic. The drillers
are all Americans who have gained their experience in American
oil fields and they are paid $10 a day. They do not usually work
on the Sabbath. Four o f the flowing wells are in a straight line
at several hundred yard intervals. The deepest one measures
1600 feet, but oil is found at varying depths.
Miss Josephine L. White and Miss Lena Brotherston were
stationed at Campbellpur in 1916. There was no bungalow for
them to live in, so they rented a native house in the city. It had
not been occupied for a long time and much of the mud roof had
fallen down into the courtyard. Fortunately there was a floor
o f hard bricks underneath, so they cleaned it out and moved in.
The building is most unsatisfactory. It can be occupied with
comparative safety in the cold season, but in the summer it would
be dangerous to live in it.

Attock district suffered a heavy death rate during the epi­
demic of influenza. Dr. M. M. Brown and Rev. J. H. Stewart
made a tour into territory where no missionary or evangelist had
ever gone before, and Dr. Brown says that the many new-made
graves saddened him, as he thought that these people had all died
without hearing o f Christ as Saviour. The Mohammedans know
Christ as “ Hazrat Isa,” a prophet, but to call him the Son of God
is blasphemy. The explanation that the expression “ Son of God”
means that Jesus was God in the flesh, and that God can pardon
us by Himself taking our sins and suffering in our stead, thus
satisfying justice and showing mercy, is the one that captures
the heart and brings joy to the face. There have been many in­
terviews with intelligent thoughtful men, landowners and officers.
They listen to the reading and exposition o f the Bible. A real
work o f grace is undoubtedly going on and the result will be a
harvest o f souls. T w o Mohammedan maulvies (religious teach­
ers) came to scoff, but before leaving one bought a full Bible
and the other a Testament. The next day one of them brought
a friend, and he too bought a Bible and also a Testament. Books
are selling by thousands. In the city of Pindi Gheb alone we sold
over 600; o f these 359 were Bible portions, 32 Testaments and
one Bible. W e have had calls for more Bibles than we were able
to supply.
Dr. Brown writes: “ W e preach the Bible only. If they men­
tion the Koran we show them that it is contrary to the Bible and
therefore cannot be the word o f God. On several occasions we
have found the people so responsive that we have said to them
that all they had to do was to pray to God in Christ’s name and
God would forgive their sins. They have assented to this and
offered the prayer. I have never seen people more approachable

and more open to reason, really hungry for the truth. Twice to­
day the question has been asked, ‘What can we do to please God ?’
W e covet your prayers for these people.”
Women’s W ork— Miss White reports that zenana work has
opened up well and that she has more houses than she can visit
even with the assistance of a Bible woman. Miss White has spent
the last two summers working in Murree.

A school was opened for Hindu and Mohammedan girls, and
thirty of them were enrolled. Their parents seemed anxious for
them to be educated and did not object to the Bible being taught.
A judge said, “ I do not want my girl to have a godless educa­
tion. I want her to be taught religion.” The girls learned many
Bible stories and a number o f Psalms. Unfortunately the school
has had to be closed for want of a suitable teacher and lack of
funds.

Equipment—The Theological Seminary with three residences for pro­
fessors and four dormitories, all the property o f Synod. Four
residences: B oys’ Industrial Hom e and Chapel: B oys’ High
School and boarding house and a residence for the headmaster;
a church building in the city; three boys’ school buildings in
the city which are also used for religious services and one girls’

Gujranwala is a city of 30,000 inhabitants, situated fortytwo miles north of Lahore orf the main line of the North Western
Railway. It is the seat of a large government district with a total
population o f 900,000, of whom 600,000 are Mohammedans and
200,000 Hindus, while Sikhs, Christians and Jains make up the
rest. Gujranwala district is developing rapidly in agriculture,
as it is irrigated by two main branches of the Chenab Canal.
Wheat, rice and cotton are the principal products.
The Gujranwala mission station was opened in 1863 with
Dr. J. S. Barr in charge. The work thus opened in Gujranwala
City included a large surrounding territory. Itinerating was
done in most of the district and the part of Sialkot district ad­
joining. The work has grown until in the city there is a well
established congregation, a theological seminary, an industrial
school, a high school, a middle school for girls, and four primary
schools. In the district outside o f the city there are two selfsupporting congregations, eight organized and five unorganized
circles of villages in which there are Christians, and twenty-six
primary village schools. In the city and district together there
is a Christian community of 10,000.

In this district more than five hundred Christians died from
influenza, and many children have become orphans. Four hun­
dred Christians were enlisted in war service, most of them in the
regular Indian army. A number o f these were sent on field ser­
vice to Egypt, Mesopotamia or the frontiers of India. The ex­
periences gained by these four hundred Christian soldiers will
have an influence on the whole Christian community.

The Evangelistic Campaign which was started by the Synod
of the Ijjunjab in 1916 found enthusiastic support in Gujranwala.
In February of 1917 a series o f evangelistic meetings lasting ten
days was conducted with Tamil David as evangelist. These meet­
ings were o f a high order and were the means of stirring up the
people of both city and district.
Each year definite plans have
been made and carried out with splendid results, and each year the
Campaign has grown in force and many Christians are being
awakened to the joy of service. The work of the women ot
Gujranwala during the week of special effort in February, 1918,
was especially worthy of mention. Many of them went out daily
to nearby villages to witness for Christ, and after the special
week closed they gave one day a week to this work for several
months. The women of the Theological Seminary under Mrs.
McConnelee took the lead in this effort.
During the past three years Rev. Barkat Masih has continued
to be the pastor of the city congregation. Tw o Sabbath schools
in the congregation meet regularly each Sabbath, one in the Boys’
Industrial Home chapel and the other in the church in the city.
The Bovs’ Industrial Home Sabbath school held a White Christ­
mas entertainment on Christmas eve, 1918, at which a very liberal
offering was received for the support o f orphans.
Rev. Karm Bakhsh, one of the first Chuhras to accept Christ
in Gujranwala, is still doing faithful work in a difficult section
o f the city. Increase of contributions and the ordination of elders
are evidences o f recent progress in his field.
In the district there are more than two hundred villages in
which there are Christians. These are divided into fifteen groups
in charge of Indian evangelists. Tw o of these groups have grown
into self-supporting congregations. Eight other circles are or­
ganized, each having a session, but are yet without ordained pas­
tors and are not entirely self-supporting. Three of these were
organized during the past year.
During the past three years a somewhat new method of itin­
erating has been carried out by the Gujranwala district workers.
Instead o f moving the camp weekly as heretofore they remained
a month in one center, in which time a definite Bible course was
taught to all the villages o f the circle and this was followed by
an examination. In this way the missionaries were able to get

nearer the people and to do more intensive work than was pos­
sible with the old method. Under the inspiration of a teaching
campaign the people learned better and the Indian evangelists
worked harder than they were wont to do when left alone. At
the close o f each campaign the Christians of the circle were all
invited to the camp for a farewell meeting. This gave a splendid
opportunity to review the work and to clinch the lessons taught
during the month. It was inspiring to see the men and women
stand up in the midst o f a large audience and repeat Bible stories
and to hear them sing the Psalms they had learned.
Apart from the effort o f the Evangelistic Campaign week,
not much direct work among the non-Christians has been done
in the district. However, as the teaching in the villages is all
done in the open air, there are non-Christians present on all oc­
casions, and in this way many hear the truth.
Rev. Jiwan Mai continues to be a faithful helper with the
evangelistic work. A celebration in honor of his completion of
forty years o f service in the mission, most of which time has been
spent in Gujranwala City and district, was held in connection with
the fall meeting of Gujranwala Presbytery in 1916. Although
from a high caste he is intensely interested in the mass movement
among the low castes and is giving his life for their uplift.
There have been 2600 baptisms in the district during the past
three years, which shows that the mass movement has not died
out. While most of those baptized were from the low castes,
yet it is encouraging to note that the inquirers from the higher
castes are increasing and several have been baptized. One of
these is a convert from a Hindu family of education and wealth.
From early boyhood he saw the uselessness of idol worship and
ceased to believe in it. He was an earnest seeker after the truth,
and as the district missionaries’ clerk and language teacher, was
associated with them in Christian work, and became acquainted
with Christianity in a practical way. After seriously consider­
ing the claims o f Christ for about two years, he voluntarily de­
cided and asked for baptism. His plan first was to be baptized
on Christmas day, 1917, but his father hearing of his intentions
prevented him. One week later, on the last day of the old year,
he was baptized, and with the new year began his new life.
Women’s W ork— A very important phase of evangelistic
work is that among the women in the zenanas. Miss McCullough
reports that 225 houses are visited regularly by her and her three
Bible women, and that some 2600 visits are made annually. There
are still a great many bigoted Hindus and Mohammedans whose
doors remain closed to the zenana workers, but during the last
year a larger number o f houses than usual have been opened to
them. The need of help and comfort during the influenza epi­
demic was the means o f opening many homes to the teaching of
the Bible. Several of the women who died had been taught by
128

the Bible women and showed evidence o f real faith in Christ,
even though they had not publicly confessed Him. Miss McCul­
lough carries on regular work among Christian women also in
the city and in eight nearby villages. One encouraging feature
of the work among Christians is the progress seen in the matter
of giving up evil customs. Miss Bennett has given considerable
attention to work among non-Christian women, and reports that
there is but little opposition, and in many villages the homes of
the most prominent families are open to her. Many of these lone­
ly women show a longing for the truth. Raj Kumari, a recent
convert from Hinduism, has been employed by Miss Bennett
especially for work among non-Christians.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Boys’ Industrial H om e.— The Boys’ Industrial Home is the
only industrial institution in the mission. Its record for the past
three years shows progress. Some boys have gone out to work
for themselves, having learned their trades. O f these, there are
two shoemakers now in Quetta earning good salaries. Several
boys have joined the army or taken up some kind of military
service. One of these is a medical assistant in Egypt and another
is a corporal in a company at Aden. One boy has entered the
Theological Seminary. The average number of boys in the home
has been fifty.
Through the kindness o f some friends in America, funds
were provided for the building o f a chapel. This was dedicated
December the 30th, 1917. It not only satisfies a long felt need
in the Boys’ Industrial Home, but furnishes a handsome and suit­
able place of worship for the congregation of the community.
An office and show room have also been built, and plans for a
new workshop are being prepared. Funds recently contributed
by liberal friends in the home Church for plant and equipment
for the institution are making it possible to go ahead now and
plan for larger things.
The Home was honored recently by a visit from Mr. J. Y.
Buchanan, o f the Educational Department of the Government.
He was well pleased with the Home and gave encouragement to
hope that a liberal grant-in-aid from the Government would be
given. At his suggestion, a day school has taken the place of the
night school, and each boy is required to attend two hours daily.
A three year course o f manual training has also been started for
the boys in the carpentry department. Five acres of land ad­
joining the mission compound have recently been bought for the
enlargement o f the Home. The workshops, especially the car­
pentering and shoe shops, have been busy and are serving the
community efficiently.

and popularity. The attendance has been on the increase, and
the present enrolment is seven hundred and seventy-two. Of
this number about fifty are Christians. The others are Hindus,
Mohammedans and Sikhs. The school furnishes a good oppor­
tunity for Bible instruction, and it is not lost. Each class is
taught the Bible every day. That the school stands high in the
opinion of the Government is evidenced by the large grant-in-aid
received, which is some 5700 rupees annually. The results of
the matriculation examinations have been satisfactory. Last year
thirty-three out of thirty-nine passed, some of them with honors.
The high school has also done its bit for the war. By means
of an entertainment and by voluntary contributions. Rs. 600 were
given to the Red Cross. The teachers, out of their provident
fund savings, invested Rs. 4500 in the war loan, and the head­
master invested Rs. 2000 in addition to this. A few of the boys
and teachers also helped in other forms of war work. The school’s
service flag contains more than fifty stars. During the summer
of 1918, the boarding house and a part of the main building were
used for recruiting purposes. In athletics, the high school cricket
team has stood first in the district tournament and second in the
divisional tournament.
Girls3 Middle School.— As a result of the baptism in 1916 of
a Mohammedan woman connected with the girls’ school, the M o ­
hammedans of the city became quite angry. Some o f the teach­
ers resigned, and all the Mohammedan children were temporarily
taken out o f the school. The trouble gradually passed over, how­
ever, and the attendance has become normal again. The average
attendance for the three years is one hundred and forty-five. Most
of the girls are non-Christians. The school receives from the
Government an annual grant of Rs. 900. Rupees 150 were raised
for Red Cross work. Miss K. M. Mukerjea continues to be head­
mistress and carries on the work faithfully.
Theological Seminary.— In the summer of 1918 twelve stu­
dents were graduated, which is probably the largest class that
has ever gone out from the institution. The graduating exercises
were held in the chapel of the Boys’ Industrial Home and were
of more than usual interest. A pleasing and interesting part of
the program was the unveiling of the portrait of the late Dr.
Robert Stewart, who was for years the President of the Semin­
ary and who did much for its advancement.
After nearly fifty years of unsettled life, the Theological
Seminary has taken up its permanent abode in Gujranwala, the
final transfer of property from the mission to the Synod of the
Punjab having beqn effected in 1918. The grounds cover some
fifteen acres with a well equipped plant, sufficient for carrying
on a great and important work for the Church and the Punjab.
Pray that the Seminary may be filled with consecrated young
men who will be an honor and blessing to the Church.

Village Schools.— Primary education is popular among the
villages o f Gujranwala district. At present there are twenty-six
schools. The number of children enrolled during the last three
years averages 1050. O f this number 376 are Christians, and of
these 126 are girls.
W e have three girls’ schools. The school in Mandiala Tega
is the life o f the village. The day Miss Bennett went to examine
the girls, the fathers, mothers and other relatives were out en
masse. Every Christian girl of school age was enrolled. The
girls and teachers are doing splendid work, and the interest of
relatives and friends is praiseworthy. A Mohammedan girl was
attending another of our girls’ schools. She had learned much
o f the Bible and loved Christ though she dared not confess Him.
She was too young to have the legal right to choose her own
faith. She fell a victim to influenza, but before she died two
Christian school girls went anxiously to inquire about her soul.
The Mohammedan girl made a clear confession of faith before
her young school friends and they had prayer together. The
Christian girls were radiant at the result o f what was perhaps
their first attempt at soul winning.

Gurdaspur mission district has a population o f 224,000. Mis­
sionary effort dates back to 1871 when Dr. J. S. Barr itinerated
in these parts, with a view to occupying the field. The following
year an Indian catechist was sent to Gurdaspur. Dr. Andrew
Gordon was the first resident missionary. He came in 1876 and
labored for several years. As far as known there was not a single
Christian here at the time. Dr. David Gordon, who had spent
his boyhood in Gurdaspur, returned to India in 1895 to carry for­
ward the work founded by his father. Many years of loving,
faithful service among the women o f Gurdaspur were spent by
the Misses Cynthia and Rosa Wilson.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Dr. Gordon reports: “ Our itinerating work for the past five
years has been done with the help of our good motor truck. It
has furnished our entire transportation from camp to camp, and
we have been spared the worry, trouble and expense o f ox-carts,
camels, tents, horse and cart, and extra servants. The truck has
been our moving van and living quarters, being convertible into
either in a few minutes’ time.

“ Influenza carried off hundreds of our village Christians and
thus thinned their ranks. While there are many things calcu­
lated to discourage, there are on the other hand things which
greatly encourage our hearts. Often have I had the experience,
in years gone by, of preaching to audiences which gave very little
more evidence of taking in the message than did the dry bones
of the prophet’s vision. Now the people are growing in intelli­
gence, and it is much more of a pleasure to preach to them. On
the last day o f this year while preaching to the congregation at
Tibbar it was a great joy at the close of the service to have four
men and two women in the congregation lead in voluntary prayers,
and one of the elders get up and make a speech in which he ad­
vocated the congregation’s undertaking at least half of the sup­
port of their worker. Another encouraging thing is the desire
on the part of many to have their unorganized circles of villages
organized into regular congregations. Often, too, the amount
of money given by these poor people at a single service, while
our camp is at their village, is encouraging. For a number of
years after beginning work as a missionary in this district, the
offerings at the services would amount to only a few half cent
pieces, but now it is no uncommon thing for as much as ten or
twenty rupees to be given. The contributions to the missionary
work of the Synod, including the salary of the Indian Professor
in the Seminan% show an increase in the past six years of nearly
600 per cent. The total Indian contributions during the same
period of time have increased 70 per cent.
“ The working force of this district sustained a heavy loss in
the death of Rev. Allah Ditta. He was a true helper, humble,
faithful and efficient. Not very strong physically, he fell an easy
pray to the epidemic of influenza. Tw o of the elders of the
Awankha congregation, Wasawa and Bhila, were also carried
off by this dreadful disease.
“ The Evangelistic Campaign in our district last year was
carried out with great enthusiasm. Perhaps the best thing about
it was the keen interest taken by the Christian people themselves.
The motor truck was a tremendous help in the work. W e spent
a day and a night in each of the six large towns in the district.
W e placed the truck in the most public place we could find, opened
up one side, thus forming it into a preaching platform, set up our
banner on which was written John 3 :16 in Urdu, and began work.
Four preachers and four or five singers formed the party. Every
one helped in selling Gospels. At night we used the magic lan­
tern, preaching with the aid of Bible pictures, and after the
preaching was over sold Gospels to the eager crowd. The last
day of the campaign week was Sabbath and we reserved that
day for Gurdaspur City. The whole congregation, big and little,
men and women, boys and girls, turned in and helped with zeal.
With the big banner attached to the side of the truck we drove

around the entire city twice (the intention was to follow the
Jericho program, but time did not permit), stopping opposite
every entrance to the city. As far as the road was straight, people
could read the banner and came running in crowds. W e preached
to them briefly, sold Gospels, and announced the afternoon and
evening meetings to be held in front o f the church. It was a
great day and evening. Five or six parties traversed the city
from side to side and from end to end. Large crowds came to
both the meetings at the church, and listened quietly to the gos­
pel message. The following are some o f the results for the w eek:
People directly reached with the message, 13,500, and Scripture
portions sold, 1600.”
Gurdaspur Sabbath school took part in a triple contest with
Pathankot and Sargodha. There were seven things in which
each scholar could secure points: Attendance, punctuality, collec­
tion, preparation of the lesson, bringing a Bible, bringing a new
scholar, and ability to give text and outline of the previous Sab­
bath sermon. This contest did much to stimulate the school in
every respect, and though we lost first place in points, there has
been much progress and improvement.
Women's W ork.— Throughout the district the non-Christian
women have listened attentively to the gospel message. In one
village a Mohammedan woman was found, who, in spite of the
jeers o f the neighbors, reads the Bible daily with her husband.
She says it is the best book they have. Last year we talked to
non-Christian women in ninety-seven villages. Some six of these
villages had never before been visited by a missionary.
During the Evangelistic Campaign week, Christian women
from Gurdaspur congregation visited all the villages within a
three miles radius o f the city. Although they would return home
in the evening very weary from the day’s tramping and work,
they were always ready to go again the next day. The Mohamme­
dan and Hindu women visited, listened eagerly to the message of
the cross, and a number of Bible portions were sold.

Village Schools.— Village day schools now number twentysix. The enrolment in these is 1,631. Only forty-two Christian
and thirty-nine non-Christian girls are enrolled in the village
schools. There are three Christian girls in the Gurdaspur City
girls’ school an3 twenty-seven in the girls’ boarding school, Sialkot.

Middle School has increased by over one hundred, and now stands
at five hundred and twenty-two. All the schools had to be closed
during the influenza epidemic. One item of interest is the in­
creased amount o f fees received. This year this was Rs. 4,505, an
increase of Rs. 800 over the preceding year.

Gurdaspur Home fo r Women and Orphans.— For years the
need has been felt for a home for women— a place where widows,
deserted wives, new converts and inquirers, unable to live in their
own homes, might have a safe retreat and be trained for Chris­
tian service. At the annual meeting of the mission in 1913, Miss
Emma Dean Anderson was authorized to raise fhe sum of $10,000
for the erection of such a home.
Miss Anderson writes: “ During my furlough in 1914 I met
Mrs. Elizabeth Temple, o f Paxton, Illinois, one whose heart God
had touched in behalf of the needy women of the Punjab, and
she was led to give just the amount of money I had been instruct­
ed to solicit. The news was received in India with joy, and ar­
rangements were begun for the establishment of a home. Gurd­
aspur was chosen as the place and the writer as superintendent.
“ Limited quarters were found in a small building just be­
side the district ladies’ residence, and the work was begun in
April, 1916. A fter many fruitless efforts to secure a suitable
site, God in direct answer to prayer gave us a very desirable one.
This piece o f land containing about four acres belonged to nine
different individuals. Only by God’s help could the business
connected with the transfer o f this property have been accom­
plished within two weeks.
“ Many hindrances on account of war conditions had to be
overcome, but by April, 1917, our building was near enough
completion to have the formal opening. At this time a portrait
of Mrs. Temple, which will be hung in the chapel of the Home,
was unveiled.
“ Since the Home was opened, forty-five women and fiftyfive children have been cared for, and thirty-two children from
our four boarding schools for girls have spent their two months’
vacation with us. O f the women who have left the Hom e: two
have gone to hospitals to be trained as nurses; two were trained
for Bible women, and are now in this service ; one became a teach­
er in Lahore; five have married; two were sent away, and several
unwilling to comply with the rules of the Home went elsewhere.
Two have gone to the home above.
“ A day school has been conducted and several of the women
have learned to read the Bible. Daily instruction is given in the
Bible, in sewing and in other hand work. All the work of the
institution except the teaching is performed by those in the Home.
“ Eight women and five children have been baptized. O f the
former, three were Hindus and five Mohammedans.
“ As a result o f the scourge o f influenza that swept over this
part of the Punjab, many little children were left motherless and
some o f them homeless. Many of these little ones have been re­
ceived into the Home. At present we have six babies under six
months of age. A Hindu whose wife had died brought his little
one twenty miles and asked me to take her. Tears were in his
134

eyes as he gave away his baby, saying ‘I give my baby to you
because I cannot care for her and I want her to have a chance to
live.’ Consider how India is changing under the light of the
gospel. Years ago this baby girl would have been buried alive,
sacrificed to the gods, or in some similar manner put out o f the
way. Now she will have a chance.
“ The Home is entirely dependent for support upon free-will
offerings. N o one desiring to enter who has a right to be here
has been refused. God has graciously supplied our needs in the
past. W e are trusting Him for the days to come.”

Jhelum district is named after the river of the same name
which divides our whole mission territory into two distinct sec­
tions. Rev. H. J. Stewart writes: Whereas most of the surface
of our other districts consists of broad level plains, northwest of
the Jhelum River the topography is broken and rugged. A range
o f hills which rises to 5000 feet runs parallel to the Jhelum River
on its northern side, emerging as it were from the river like the
walls of a fort from its moat and proclaiming the independence
of the northern districts from the southern. Behind this moun­
tain rampart called the Salt Range, the surface of the land lies
at an elevation of about 1000 feet higher than that of the coun­
try on the other side o f the river.
The people too, like their land, seem to be different from
their brethren in the rest of our field— more independent, sturdy
and obstinate, and good fighters withal. So we are not surprised
to learn that the districts of Jhelum and Rawal Pindi lead their
province, as the Punjab leads India, in furnishing soldiers for
the armies o f the British Empire. Probably one out of three
of the men o f military age have enlisted.
Their language too is different. A general line of cleavage
runs almost due south from the city of Jhelum, dividing Punjabi
dialects into what may be called eastern and western groups. The
bulk o f our mission work has been done among those who speak
eastern Punjabi, so that it is considered the standard of our mis­
sion.
There are about 2768 square miles in Jhelum district, and a
population of 511,575. Since the days o f Alexander this terri­
tory has been overrun by many invading hordes from the north.
These foreign conquerors have contributed much to the present
social and religious life of the people, giving to'what was once
Hindu territory a population ninety per cent. Mohammedan. The
other ten per cent, are orthodox Hindus, Sikhs and Aryas. W e

have a congregation of fifty members in Jhelum City, but aside
from a few families in the cantonments there are only four Chris­
tian families outside the city.
Since 1874 the mission has been working here, though at
times the staff has been much curtailed by the scarcity o f workers
in the whole mission.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
The evangelistic work, especially that in the city, should rad­
iate largely from the Christian congregation, and this we are
trying to encourage. The former pastor. Rev. Ganda Mall, was
called to the home mission work of our Synod and for a year the
responsibility for continuing the pastoral work fell on the mis­
sionary in charge and Elder Fazl Ilahi, the headmaster of our
city school. For about six months we have had Rev. Jamil ud
Din, who has had many years of experience in evangelistic work
as pastor. He is a Mohammedan convert from Attock district,
and in him we find a most enthusiastic leader for all city evan­
gelistic work. Twice every week we preach the gospel in one
of the main streets of the bazaar and receive good hearings. W e
now want a reading room which may serve as a base for this work
in the center of the city. The work among the women in the city
is conducted by two Bible women, who by years of patient teach­
ing are winning the love o f those whom they visit. Each year
some twenty women read the Bible regularly, and fifty are taught
its truth orally.
The four months’ winter camping tour of the missionaries is
looked upon by many as the real evangelistic work; but as yet,
though it has now been carried on for more than thirty years,
it seems to have touched but few of the stony hearts of this dis­
trict. Last year we were able to visit parts of our field which no
one had visited since Dr. Scott was there thirty years ago.
Possibly the most lasting and profitable preaching that we
do is not the giving of our own oral addresses, but the selling
o f the printed word itself. In all parts where we find those that
are able to read, we make a special effort to let the gospel of
Christ get within doors and remain there, with the hope that
sooner or later it will accomplish that whereunto it was first pro­
claimed to mankind.
The one absorbing question among the women has been,
“ Can you tell me any news of my boy at the front?” Now they
are rejoicing that the war is over and demobilization has com­
menced. These poor women have been kept in ignorance for so
many generations that we wonder when they will be able to see
the light. As a man after fasting for several days must receive
food in smaller quantities and at more frequent intervals, so
these women after years o f ignorance and superstition can grasp
but little of the truth at a time, and must have it more often if
136

they are to be sustained by it. But how is this possible? In
each o f these three years not more than one sixth o f the villages
have been visited, and not more than one woman out of every one
hundred and twenty-six has had an opportunity to hear the story
of God’s love. Some are quite indifferent to the message, while
others are eager for the truth. In one village where we had been
refused admittance into several courtyards, a bright faced young
woman implored us to come into her house, and after hearing
our message, asked us to pray. It is seldom that we do this with
Mohammedan women, for they are apt to be very irreverent;
but she assured us that she knew how we bow our heads and close
our eyes because she had been in our hospital for a month.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Education is one o f the most profitable ways of carrying out
the Master’s great commission to His followers. In this great
and bigoted non-Christian district it has insured a regular and
systematic teaching throughout the years to hundreds of boys
and girls o f all things, whatsoever Christ has commanded us,
and we believe it has gone far to persuade these same boys and
girls to “ observe” the commandments of Christ. Though by
means o f all forms o f Christian service, the doors of very few
hearts have been entirely opened in this district, yet wherever
we go in our winter evangelistic tours we find that the teaching
in our schools has created friendships and opened doors of homes
through which we enter to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
W e now have six mission schools in all, but the possible num­
ber is limited only by our funds. Just a few days ago we had a
delegation from a large center, where we would have the field
to ourselves, begging us to open a new school. But my answer
was, “ not enough funds.” This same answer we have had to
give to many other such centers. The educational route to the
hearts o f these people is open if we can but use it.
Jhelum Boys’ Schools.— The Jhelum middle school has out­
grown its old buildings, and we are planning now for an addi­
tion o f three rooms. Out o f a total of over three hundred boys,
mort than one hundred are in the middle department, and we
are being besieged on all sides by the Government, by the people,
and by the boys, to make it a high school. Our Christian head­
master, Mr. Fazl Ilahi, B.A., holds the confidence of the whole
community as probably no other man in the city does. All in all
the school is a mighty testimony for Christ.
In a developing, outlying part o f the city is our primary
school, intended to reach the children of the low caste community
and through them their parents, but because of their indifference,
the majority of the forty pupils come from the Mohammedans.
All the pupils attend our Sabbath school in the church.
India— Ihelum.
137
Ihelum Girls’ Schools.— In Jhelum the girls’ primary school
has been doing for the girls about the same as the other schools
have done for the boys, though it has to withstand the tradi­
tional opposition to female education. In spite of the competi­
tion of the Hindu and Mohammedan schools, during the last year
ours has had a total enrolment o f eighty-six and an average at­
tendance o f thirty. With the exception of six Christians and
eight Hindus, the pupils are Mohammedans. In spite of oppo­
sition here and there, these girls are learning Punjabi hymns
and verses and stories from the Old and New Testaments, and
their moral life at least has been improved.
In the branch girls’ school opened recently we have one
teacher and a yearly enrolment of forty-one with an average at­
tendance of eighteen. All are Mohammedans with the exception
of the teacher and her little sister. The former chief opponent
of this school has been persuaded to send his own little girl. To
hear these children tell some of the gospel parables and their
meaning, you might almost think they were Christians. With
the discouragements we have many encouragements, and we
know that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
Sanghoi Middle School.— Ten miles down the Jhelum River,
in the city o f Sanghoi, we have a middle school. Some years
ago one o f the Hindu pupils confessed Christ, and since that
time we have had to withstand the active and often underhanded
opposition o f a rival Hindu school. The Mohammedans, how­
ever, who are the major part of the population, have stayed by
us pretty loyally. In a small town near Sanghoi a Mohammedan
friend has built us a brick schoolhouse and there are already sev­
enty boys enrolled.
Thus through these different forms of activity the seed is
being sown. Sometimes we are tempted to be discouraged, but
we know that the seed has life and generative power, and some
day it will sink its roots even into these dark hearts. Then the
name of Jesus will be above every other name in old Jhelum dis­
trict.

For twenty-three years the Good Samaritan Hospital has
been doing faithful work and teaching a very practical lesson
of love. Each dispensary patient is taught a Bible story before
she receives her medicine and the in-patients have a still better
opportunity of hearing and knowing the truth because the Bible
woman has worship with them every day. The patients continue
to marvel at the purity of our nurses, and often speak of the joy
that the Christians experience in contrast with the gloom of
the Mohammedans. One o f the patients a few days after her ar­
rival expressed her desire to become a Christian. A case simi­
lar to this had come to our notice several weeks before, and the

woman had proved to be an impostor who was seeking baptism
in order to be divorced from her husband. Hence we were slow
to accept this new inquirer, but we sent her to the Home for
Women in Gurdaspur, where she has been for six months, and
we rejoice that Miss Anderson writes o f her only in terms of
praise. Another woman has come out for Christ this year, as a
result of the medical work in Kala, where two days a dispensary
is conducted by nurses from the Hospital.
The Hospital is in need o f larger accommodations, and it is
hoped that Dr. Simpson after her arrival will be able to procure
a strip o f land adjoining the present compound. During Dr.
Simpson’s absence on furlough, Miss Gordon has been acting
as manager, and Mrs. Fazl Ilahi has carried the burden of the
medical work. The number o f patients during these years has
averaged 450; new dispensary cases, 9000; and total new and
old cases almost 30,000. The nurses are pleading for a trained
nurse from home, for without direct instruction from such a
trained nurse they are barred from taking their final examination
under the United Board of Examiners for Mission Nurses. Tw o
were thus kept from getting their certificates this year, and others
are waiting.
Our American graduate nurses have answered
their country’s call so nobly in the past year that we are con­
fident that there will be some to answer this call also.

Equipment—Three residences; the Nelson Pratt Memorial School at

for Indian workers.
The town o f Khangah Dogran is equidistant, forty-five miles,
from Lahore. Gujranwala and Lyallpur. Most of the mission
district is in what is known as the “ Bar” country, which is a
term applied to a section of the territory lying between the Chenab
and Ravi Rivers. H alf o f Khangah Dogran tehsil lies in the
Chenab Canal Colony and 283,000 acres are irrigated from the
canal. The principal crops raised in the district are wheat, gram,
rice, cotton and sugar-cane, but wheat is by far the largest, there
being some 140,000 acres raised in one year by canal irrigation
in Khangah Dogran tehsil alone. The Government receives an
annual income o f Rs. 448,000 from land and water assessments.
The area of the mission district is 880 square miles. Its
greatest length is fifty miles and its greatest width is forty miles.
The population is 222,535. This is practically all rural, as
there are no towns with a population of more than 2500. The
density per square mile is about 237. The percentage of literacy
is very low, 1.9 per cent. For women it is .3 per cent.

The two principal communities, the Hindu and the Moham­
medan, are divided into over 100 different tribes and castes. The
one in which our work has met with most response is the sweeper
caste. There are 15,000 of these in the Khangah Dogran tehsil
who are still sweepers, while 5000 have become Sikhs, 2000 M o­
hammedans and 4000 Christians.
In the matter o f religion, the people are divided into three
principal sections, Mohammedans, Sikhs and Hindus. The M o­
hammedan community has some 2000 religious teachers or one
for every eighty-four persons in it, while the Christian com­
munity has twenty, or one for every two hundred persons in it.
Among so many tribes and castes, as might be expected, there
is a variety o f languages and dialects spoken, eighteen in all. O f
these the Punjabi, the language the missionaries use in village
preaching and work, is spoken by the greater number of people.
The district has two or three places o f historical interest.
One of these is the town of Khangah Dogran, famous for its
white dome-shaped tombs, which may be seen for several miles.
These are the tombs of the head of the Dogar tribe of Moham­
medans and his direct descendants, dating back some three or
four hundred years. Every Thursday night candles are burned
before them, and fancy colored cloths spread over them in honor
of the departed. Three miles away is a place called Mianali, a
small town built upon a hill o f old ruins, said to have been the
ancient capital of the Punjab. The bricks dug out of these ruins
are large and of a peculiar design. Many ancient coins have
also been found here. Another place of historic interest is Fort
Shekhupura, where there is a fine old fort built before the Eng­
lish rule began in the Punjab. A short distance away is a tower,
one hundred and fifty feet high, built by Dara Shikoh, a son of
the Mogul Emperor, Jehangir, as a place from which to observe
game in the surrounding jungle. Beside this tower is a great
water tank covering several acres whose walls and floors are made
of brick and stone. The tank and tower are now protected by
Government as ancient monuments.
Khangah Dogran was opened and the first missionary located
there about twenty years ago, but itinerating work had been done
in the district from Gujranw?la City for some years before. The
first missionaries to live in Khangah Dogran were Dr. and Mrs.
1'. E. Holliday and the Misses Marion Embleton and Mary E.
Logan.
Between one hundred and fifty and two hundred Christian
young men o f the district enlisted in the army during the war.
A cause of anxiety for the future progress of the work has
arisen from the settlement in the center o f the district at Chuhar
Kana o f the Seventh Day Adventist Mission. As they are an
actively proselyting Church, it is hard to see how their work can
result in anything but harm to the infant Church already estab­

lished. Our mission has proposed to buy their property here if
they will seek a new and unoccupied field, and they have promised
to consider the matter.
In the recent survey o f our mission field, made in prepara­
tion for receiving our share o f the “ 407,” it is proposed to open
new stations at Martinpur and Shekhupura. The latter place is
twenty-three miles from Lahore and has been selected as the
headquarters for a new Government district to be created in the
near future.

So far as statistics go, there has been no net gain in the
membership o f the Church in the three years under review, though
during that time a little over one hundred members have been
received on profession o f faith. The communicants number 1582.
During the past year the Christian community lost over four
hundred through the influenza epidemic, or about ten per cent,
of the entire number. Tw o congregations have been organized,
making a total o f seven in the district. Four fifths of the entire
membership live within the bounds o f these organized congre­
gations. The training of the eldership in these congregations
and securing pastors for them is a pressing need. Some progress
may be noted in the organization and extension o f Sabbath school
work in the villages. Twenty-three schools with an enrolment
of seven hundred and ninety-two are reported this year. These
are very simple in their organization and methods and in most
cases consist o f one large class of all ages, as sufficient teachers
cannot be found to make a graded school possible.
A great need o f the Christian community is that of special
places or buildings set apart for public worship. Services are
now generally held in the open air. One village community has
built a little pavilion for this purpose from its Sabbath school
offerings. It consists o f four mud walls about three feet high,
on which are placed wooden pillars supporting a thatched roof.
Under present conditions it is an ideal church building for our
Christian village communities.
An encouraging increase in the gifts o f the people may be
noted. Some Rs. 1500 for all purposes were given this year, or
about one half o f the total cost o f the evangelistic work. A special
gift was that o f one o f our soldier boys in Mesopotamia, who
sent Rs. 50 for the work. A poor blind Christian gave Rs. 6/8/-,
the tithe of the amount realized from the sale of an animal.
Last year our village Christians took part for the first time
in the Evangelistic Campaign. Fifty-eight voluntary workers
were enrolled. W e hope to have more this year.
Some three hundred catechumens are on our rolls. From
these and one or two large communities that are considering the

141
matter of becoming Christians, it is hoped to make good our
losses from influenza.
The Christian Endeavor convention this year was entertained
by three^ families, the only Christians in their village. Crowds of
non-Christians attended to hear the singing. In a previous con­
vention non-Christians furnished the wood for the platform and
a large room for the entertainment of delegates.
Women’s W ork.— As we look back over the last few years
of work among the village Christian women, we feel that there
has been a decided change for the better. Formerly we had an
occasional woman who could recite some Bible stories. Now the
numbers o f learners has greatly increased, though they are still
in the minority. W e feel that the little conventions we had for
them and the simple prizes (a package of needles, a small picture,
a medicine dropper, or a ten cent Testament) given to those who
could recite ten or more stories have helped to encourage them.
These women are also beginning to appreciate more and more
the meaning and purpose of the thank-offering jugs, and in many
places the amount now given is considerably larger than their
former offerings.
The women’s missionary societies of Khangah Dogran and
Martinpur seem to have made no real progress. Their condition
is much like that o f a little child learning to walk; at times it is
able to stand alone or make a little advancement and at other
times its progress is very uncertain or it falls down completely.
City zenana work has been carried on by Bible women among
the Hindu and Mohammedan women in Khangah Dogran and
Shekhupura. In both places the number of homes open to them
increases each month. Some women learn to read God’s word
for themselves and others listen as the Bible woman teaches. In
Shekhupura the Bible woman insists on their committing to
memory the stories of the Bible. W e were gratified, on our last
visit, to find how many Bible stories some of the women were
able to tell. The time seems to be as yet one of seed sowing, for
though a few have testified to their faith in Christ, they fear to
confess Him before men. Pray that the time of the harvest may
soon come.
The work among non-Christian village women can perhaps
best be illustrated by telling of the receptions we are given by
different classes. Visiting the sweepers in a village where we
have Christians we found that they had decided as a community
to become Christians, and were at the time discussing the rela­
tive advantages o f joining the Roman Catholics or our mission.
O f course they were very ignorant and had very little knowledge
of the step they were taking, but they were willing to receive the
simple lesson, and their hearts were ready to accept Jesus as
their Saviour. At another place, after standing till we were tired,
they offered us a seat, but were absolutely indifferent to our
142

message, one woman finding great amusement in it, and another
leaving in the midst of it to take up her interrupted work. At
another we met a beautiful young woman who had attended a
mission school and knew her Bible and hymn book well. She
eagerly told o f how they had taught her there of Christ Whom
she acknowledged as the Saviour. Her mother-in-law and friends
too were eager to hear again the words of life. So we sow the
seed as we go, and some seed falls by the wayside, some on stony
and thorny ground, and some on good ground, to bring forth
fruit in God’s own time.

The keeping up of elementary schools for boys continues to
be one o f the most difficult and discouraging features of the work
in the district. This is partly due to the poor quality of teachers
available and partly to the unsettled condition of the people. In
one circle o f villages we have started schools in eight different
places without success. Nevertheless in the elementary schools
for boys and the Nelson Pratt Boys’ School at Martinpur two
hundred and sixty-three Christian boys are enrolled. This is
approximately forty per cent, o f the Christian boys of school
going age.
The Nelson Pratt Boys’ School at Martinpur recently re­
ceived honorable mention in the daily papers as one of the schools
reported by the Education Department of the Government for
having a good proportion o f its students enlisted for war services.
During the past three years there has been an increase in
the staff o f the Khangah Dogran and Martinpur girls’ schools.
The attendance has not materially changed, but the quality of
the work is better. The little school in Nanak Kot, which had
to be closed for a time, has been reopened and the people’s inter­
est in it seems to be reviving. The greatest benefit o f these
schools is that besides keeping the Christian girls off the streets
for a part of every day, they give many non-Christians an op­
portunity to hear the word o f life.
LYALLPUR.
Equipment—T w o residences; a church; a residence fo r women teach­
ers and workers.
Lyallpur is out west— not very far west it is true, but one
hundred and twenty-five miles from Sialkot and ninety miles
from Gujranwala. The district is a rectangle thirty miles wide
by sixty long. A generation ago it was sparsely settled, but now
the population of the mission district is estimated to be 379,000.
It is an interesting population attracted by canal irrigation from
all quarters o f the Punjab. Tribes and castes are many and

143
diverse. The Janglis who were here before the days of the
canal retain their individuality more noticeably than do other
tribes. The bright red, dark blue, and mixtures of orange and
yellow in his clothing mark the Jangli from afar, and upon nearer
approach his black hair, worn long and cut square at the neck,
adds to the distinctiveness of his appearance. He is a good M o­
hammedan and loves his camel.
Sixty per cent, of the people are Mohammedans, and o f the
rest there are about an equal number of Sikhs and Hindus. Many
are indifferent toward religion, keeping the name thereof it may
be, but neglecting religious customs and rites, forgetting the
teaching of their fathers, and interested chiefly in making money.
One may do much work among educated men and high
school boys and government clerks in English, though Urdu is
the language used in public address and in conversation in the
city, and it is understood by leading men in the villages; but the
language of the home is Punjabi and work among the illiterate
o f the city and throughout the villages requires its use.
In Lyallpur is the Agricultural College, carrying out im­
portant research work and training men to teach agriculture in
the public schools. A technical school maintained by the District
Board and a Government normal school are also located here.
Grain companies and flour mills are numerous.
The English Government had hardly completed plans to ir­
rigate the great desert of the Sandal Bar when our mission, with
a vision of the rich spiritual harvest to be reaped, sent its first
laborers into Lvallpur, then a part of West Gujranwala mission
district. Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Martin and the Misses Nannie J.
Spencer and Edith M. Fulton came in the winter o f 1895-96.
Plans for Lyallpur City had been drawn, but the railway which
was to bring a constant influx of colonists had not been com­
pleted, so our missionaries had driven across the ninety miles
from Gujranwala, doing evangelistic work en route, and pitched
their tents on the sun-scorched, barren, sandy plain where the
mission residence w as to stand.
From the beginning o f the war, Red Cross work has been
carried on extensively. Thousands of rupees have been collected
and more than ten thousand garments made and dispatched. The
Indian women’s branch o f the Red Cross has held its meetings
for the weekly work parties at the mission house and the Eng­
lish branch at the deputy commissioner’s residence. For the last
year Miss Morrison has been chairman o f both the English and
the Indian work committees. Now that the war has closed, the
Government has asked us to form a permanent Red Cross unit
in Lyallpur and carry on work for Indian hospitals.

A review o f the work of the last three years in Lyallpur dis­
closes conditions which are a call to prayer. There has been no
great ingathering as in some former years, nor can we report
many evidences o f real spiritual growth in the Church, while the
attempts o f the enemy to cause confusion in the Church and re­
tard its growth have indeed been many and subtle. The Church
membership is about 1700 and we praise the Master that He has
begun the building o f His Church in Lyallpur district.
Most o f the special caste of sweepers from which the Church
has been gathered have been baptized and the adversary seems
determined that there shall be no ingathering from the other
outcaste people, as there has not been one baptism from among
them in the district. High prices have induced many removals
to other districts and an unprecedented death rate has depleted
our numbers. Many young men have gone into the army. The
Roman Catholics have been active in proselyting, teaching the
simple-minded Christians that theirs is the first and true Church
of Christ.
At one time visiting missionaries from the older districts
were wont to remark on the signs o f prosperity among our Chris­
tians, but recently the poverty of our toil-burdened people has
impressed us all. Poverty and depleted numbers have not tended
to progress toward a self-supporting church.
The Indian pastors and Christian teachers number twenty,
ordained men three, licentiates two, other male Christian workers
eleven, Bible women and women teachers four. Christ has other
faithful witnesses also among the wives o f Christian workers and
other Christians, both literate and illiterate.
T w o village women met me as they returned from a Hindu
shop. They said, “ The shop keeper told us, ‘The Government is
catching Sikhs and Christians and compelling them to go to war,
and you had better say you are not Christians or your men will
surely have to go.’ W e told him that we certainly never would
deny Christ if they took our men and us too.” A few days later
in an adjacent village some Mohammedan women bore witness
that these women are letting their light shine. They said of them,
“ They are true Christians and learn the teaching o f Jesus Christ.
They are very good women.”
The Master called from our district for higher service Miss
Nannie J. Spencer in September, 1916, and Rev. Paul Nasar Ali
in January, 1918, and they are greatly missed. A tribute to Miss
Spencer’s life and work is found in the earlier pages of this re­
port. O f Rev. Nasar Ali we would say that he was one of the
monuments o f God’s grace, a man o f prayer and a tireless worker
in the Master’s service, with a real burden for the Punjab Church.
The son o f a heathen priest of a despised caste, he was rescued
from the heathen worship to which he was dedicated and educated

in our mission schools. For forty-five years he preached the
gospel, eighteen years o f which were in Lyallpur district. Hun­
dreds of Christians claim him as their spiritual father and a mul­
titude o f Hindus and Mohammedans have listened to his earnest
witness for the One W ho came from God to save sinners.
Rev. Wazir Chand, B.A., was ordained and installed as pas­
tor o f the Lyallpur City congregation in January, 1916. His
earnest and able pulpit ministry, faithful pastoral work and ac­
tivity in the various departments of Christ’s work in the Punjab
have made us realize anew the tremendous need for more Spiritfilled men of higher education. For the year 1917-1918 he was
Moderator of the Synod o f the Punjab. His field includes Lyall­
pur City and eight adjacent villages, with a church membership
of one hundred and fifty. There are two other organized con­
gregations in the district, both of them having members in eight
villages. The work of our Indian pastors and evangelists in these
days when iniquity truly does abound, must be, as one of them
said recently, a real labor of love and faith, battling with the
numerous forces of Satan and building the temple of God out
of material unsightly and unfit. W e praise God for the men
who make their prayer unto their God and faithfully battle and
build day by day. For those who seem to have very limited vision
and little burden for souls, we beseech your prayers.
In the evangelistic work among the Hindus and Mohamme­
dans there has been comparatively little opposition, but great in­
difference to the gospel message. Recently, however, a bigoted
teacher of the Koran attempted a public argument with one of
our village pastors, who finished the course in the Theological
Seminary last year. The pastor answered every statement with
a verse of Scripture, and the maulvie, unable to reply to the
word of God, in anger threatened to kill the missionary and pas­
tor if they did not leave his village.
W e seldom fail to get a hearing in a village and while the
majority have little concern for the way to God, yet daily we
praise God for those who listen and consider; for the men who
are sincere in their questions and honest in their discussions; for
the women who say, “ These people tell us the truth,” “ Jesus
Christ is the only One W ho can save us from sin,” and who con­
fess with tears their need o f a Saviour. The oft repeated re­
quest from women, “ Tell us the word o f God,” reveals more
often a desire to hear again the words that give comfort to their
hearts than idle curiosity.
.
Our village pastors and Christian workers, together with
some of the illiterate laymen in whose hearts is the love of Christ,
have had joy and blessing in going in groups to villages and sing­
ing and preaching in the bazaars.

The number of books and Gospel portions that have been sold
in the city and villages means that a multitude may read for
themselves of the way of life.
Women’s W ork.— Zenana work in Lyallpur City has cen­
tered largely in the women’s club. During much of the time,
the club has met weekly at the mission house. W ar work has
been the common bond. There have been interesting and in­
structive lectures and on one occasion, at least, the Gospel mes­
sage was given with such power that hearts were pierced. Some
received it gladly and some angrily rejected it. The club has done
much in establishing friendly relations between Hindus and M o­
hammedans and between them and the missionaries. The mis­
sionary is a more welcome visitor than formerly in many homes
o f Indian ladies of wealth and position.

W e are thankful for the small increase in attendance in the
city girls’ school in the face of the opposition there has been to
Bible teaching being given. Several times, seemingly for no
reason, further renting of the building has been refused and it
has always been after a weary search that another building has
been secured. Some of the little school girls imbibe much of the
spirit and teaching of Christianity. They pass out into the Gov­
ernment School after finishing the fifth class and we find them
leaders among the girls there.

The town of Pasrur is twenty miles south of Sialkot and
thirty miles east of Gujranwala and has a population of about
7500. It was first occupied as a mission station early in the
■eighties and is the only town of any size in the whole of Pasrur
North mission district, which though not one of our large dis­
tricts, has a population of 175,000 living in four hundred villages.
It is so densely populated that from some places twenty villages
can be seen. Christians are to be found in two hundred and
fifty of these villages.

Church development and the evangelizing of the non-Chris­
tian community is the two-fold task before us in Pasrur North.
Since the Christians and non-Christians are found side by side
in villages and schools, both objectives may often be attained

half of the audience is frequently non-Christian. They are uni­
formly respectful and present a field for direct sowing- free from
the disputes so common in audiences wholly made up of nonChristians. In our day schools about seven hundred boys from
non-Christian homes learn the creed, commandments and Lord’s
Prayer, and study the g-ospels in the Sabbath schools along with
the Christian lads.
To help towards the strengthening of the Church, special
attention has been paid to the encouragement of systematic giv­
ing and to the “ forward movement” in training elders. Although
the latter is under the care of Presbytery, the burden falls heavily
on the missionary, who is in a sense responsible for all the con­
gregations in his district, and is usually the moderator of half a
dozen sessions.
The annual Bible story course has come to stay. In the old
days the missionary taught and preached while in the village.
Today most of his time is spent in hearing the people recite what
they have learned from the local worker.
Another caste, the Batwal, is showing unusual interest in
the gospel and constitutes still another great challenge to a lag­
gard church.
Roman Catholicism continues a real menace, but has lost
much of the gains made by false promises. One can always rec­
ognize these Catholic communities by their filth, ignorance, and
heathenish rites. Whole communities have returned to us and
speak of their Roman Catholic experiences as a sort of Babylonian
captivity". It is wonderful the way we can tell the Christian homes
by their neatness and cleanness.
Pasrur North continues to have a self-supporting church as
her ideal and during the past three years two new congregations
have become self-supporting and pastors have been ordained.
Sikane, a new congregation in the rice country, illustrates the
ideal development of a congregation from a mission circle. The
pastor, Changa Mai, came direct from the seminary to this congre­
gation and they grew up together. In due time the session was
elected and the session and pastor studied the elders’ course to­
gether. In this circle is the village o f T
which had defied
all efforts of the missionaries toward doing away with heathen
marriages. This year one last degenerate family brought in the
Mirasis (heathen entertainers and singers of lewd songs) for a
wedding. The young pastor arrived on the scene and was joined
by the whole Christian community and evicted the whole troupe
from the village. Three years ago the missionary and pastor to­
gether could not have kept them out. In this famine year, this
young pastor proposes to give up his mission salary and live on
what the congregation can pay him ; and during our recent visit
there his people backed him with a one hundred rupee collection.
148
India—Pasru -North.
The war times have brought out the latent heroism in the
pastors of the self-supporting congregations. Recently Pastor
A
was asked, “ Where is your cow ?” “ Oh,” he said, “ that
cow is sold long since.” Only a Punjabi knows what this meant
to his babies. Years ago he raised a special fund among his friends
and bought a little bay horse. She was easy to keep and a splen­
did, plucky, little beast; but famine is at the door and he will
have to sacrifice his faithful mare. It is like sending off one of
his family. He is holding out one more month hoping against
hope that the calamity can be avoided.
Personal observation brings the conviction that no home
pastor would have the patience to collect his salary from a Pun­
jabi village congregation. By nature penurious and proverbially
slow to part with his few hard-earned shekels the Punjabi can
all too often test and get the better of the missionary in these
psychological, rhetorical, and spiritual battles for the semi-annual
harvest collection. But the pastor is also a Punjabi, and “ Greek
meets Greek” when some day he closes in with the village group
after his period of prayer and teaching and demands his wellearned salary. Many are the time-worn excuses to be brushed
aside. He must listen to all his past failures and mistakes. W oe
betide him if he has failed to bring them off victorious in their
last legal bout with the farmers or refused to perform a shady
marriage. Able to squander much on wedding feasts, they now
claim that they are starving. But in spite of difficulties the gos­
pel is indeed working down through this hard stratified heath­
enism.
During this period no less than five new circles have been
formed out of our large circles and congregations, still leaving
all o f the latter twice too large. These new circles are choosing
elders and preparing for organization into new congregations. One
of these is Qila Sobha Singh, a thriving town on the new rail­
road. Through neglect the large Christian community there had
fallen upon evil times. The mass movement swept so many into
the church that we were not able to take care of them and stag­
nation followed. Since Master Sant Masih has taken up the
work in this town and neighborhood, however, new life is being
manifested.
The prayer conferences held under the direction of the com­
mittee of Presbytery were vepr stimulating. Pasrur City congre­
gation was divided into sections in the summer for prayer and
Bible study. Leaders were appointed for both men and women.
A very real desire for blessing brought out faltering prayers from
lips that had never prayed before in public. The leader of one
section was a young wrestler and athlete named Joseph. This
young man has not only definitely surrendered his own life, but
has gathered about him a large group of the youths of the city.

This congregation is making marked progress in giving and in
church attendance.
Women’s W ork.— Evidences of progress are manifest among
the Christian women o f the district. Fewer amulets are seen
than heretofore. In many places women are found keen to learn
the Bible stories of the year’s course. A new appreciation of
the value of education is gradually growing up. In comparison
with former years mothers are much more willing to send their
little girls to boarding schools, and the enrolment of girls in the
village schools has increased. As in other sections, so in Pasrur,
the influenza brought sorrow and suffering, yet through it all
came blessings too. Among both Christians and non-Christians
the hearts of many who seemed to have been indifferent to every­
thing but mere earthly pleasures and duties, have been softened,
and many have been led to think more seriously of life and death.
Among the Christians of Pasrur City this result is especially
noticeable. For years one effort after another had been made
to interest the women in attending church, but with little response.
After the influenza epidemic had passed special meetings with
the women were held daily for a week, in preparation for the
Sabbath communion service, and the women were urged to be
present. Not only did they come for the communion service, but
the interest shown then has not died out. More women are at­
tending church week by week than for years previously.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Village Schools.— In 1915 Pasrur North reported 15 boys’
schools with a total attendance of 628. This year there were 20
with 740 in attendance. In 1915 we had nine Christian teach­
ers and eleven non-Christian. This year there are thirteen Chris­
tians and twelve non-Christians. The grant from Government
has risen from Rs. 1397 to Rs. 2211. In place of twenty there
are now eighty-five Christian girls studying in village schools out­
side of Pasrur City. While five new schools have been opened,
yet we can hardly say that it is adequate occupation to have only
one Christian school to every ten villages, and less than two of
each of the twelve village circles which average over fifteen vil­
lages apiece. A number o f promising places are clamoring for
schools, especially since the Government has recognized our
schools and admits our boys directly into the same standard in
any of the Government institutions. Our schools are popular
with all classes and overcrowding is resulting with larger de­
mands for staff and equipment. First, in number of Christians
attending, is the Kalaswala school in a village with five hundred
Christians. Out of eighty-one scholars there are nine Christian
girls and forty-six Christian boys. In this same village there
was an interesting strike on the part of all Christians. The M o­
hammedans had carried off a Christian girl, and the Christians
150

stayed on strike until she was returned. Six schools have been
nicely housed from equipment specials. Local help in the form
of coolie labor and brick-making stimulates community feeling
and a parental interest.
Our teaching staif was very materially strengthened by the
half dozen boys who have finished their normal course. These
boys come as more of the fruit of the Pasrur special class started
by Dr. W . J. Brandon. The Pasrur school now has an enrol­
ment of ninety-six boys and demands a third teacher. A neigh­
boring house has been requisitioned for the overflow, but only a
new plant will enable us to meet the opportunity. A leading o f­
ficial promises land when we are ready to build.
How these village teachers need your prayers and sympathy!
You teachers of America with your compulsory school laws, and
mothers’ meetings, educated parents, and the accumulated moral
force of an educated public behind you, don’t forget to pray
for the Lahnas and Barkats and Gahnas of the mud village. The
building is too often a banyan tree; the desk, a piece of matting
on the ground. The parents are unlettered and indescribably
poor. Each boy is in demand to herd the cattle or to cut the
grass in the byways and hedges. The moral atmosphere is vitiat­
ing. There is little to inspire or elevate. Such surroundings
would try the faith of the most robust and experienced. Will
you not pray with us for these young teachers, for their parents
and for the hundreds of non-Christian boys receiving God’s word
through these schools that they may accept eternal life?
Girls’ Boarding School.— During the past three years the
school enrolment has gradually increased until now we have one
hundred and twenty-eight girls. W e can accommodate even
more than this.
The health of all has been good, except during the influenza
epidemic, when practically all the girls, as well as the teachers,
were sick. Many were not seriously ill, but some cases of pneu­
monia developed and one little girl died.
The school has been largely supported by special gifts from
America. These have been falling off, although the number of
pupils and the cost, of living have increased.
During the last year the orphans who have heretofore been
provided for in this school have been transferred to the Gurdaspur Home for Women. With them went the widow who has
been a sort of housemother here for many years. She is great­
ly missed. W e are now introducing as rapidly as possible the
cottage plan of boarding which has been so successful in Sangla
Hill.
Miss Whitely writes about one girl: “ At the opening of
school, Rakkhi came in as a new pupil. She had been in another
school the year before. Before many days she was punished
for trying to run off. That seemed to make her more determined

to escape. While I was at our annual meeting she ran away six
times, and six times her parents brought her back. She was here
when I returned, but the next morning could not be found. We
prayed that once more her parents might bring her back, but no
Rakkhi came. Her mother and aunt came with the school clothes
the girl had, and
asked for those which belonged to the girl, bui
we said that we
wanted the girl with theclothes. When asked
what the girl would do if she did not come to school, her mother
replied, ‘She will
carry a basket of manureon her head of course.
We are not poor people and she does not need to do that work,
but if she will not go to school there is nothing else for her to
do.’ For several months the parents were unsuccessful in per­
suading the girl to return, but at Christmas time she came, bring­
ing her little sister with her. She has since been perfectly happy.
Would that more parents were as anxious and determined to
have their girls educated.”

White Memorial Hospital.— The White Memorial Hospital,
which was closed temporarily in 1915, was reopened by Dr. White
in January, 1916. This little hospital has been fortunate in hav­
ing as permanent resident worker in charge of the evangelistic
work Miss E. M. Anderson, who has been a successful assistant
manager and Bible teacher. Her services during the epidemic
of influenza will never be forgotten. This hospital stood between
our whole Christian community and death during the dark days
of the influenza epidemic. Gallons of medicines were sent out
far and wide by trusted workers, or taken by the missionaries
in the Ford, and milk and other foods were furnished to the
destitute. The result is a new and stronger bond of love and
sympathy between the missionaries and our people.
Some needed quarters for workers have been built and ad­
joining lands secured which will be ample for Dr. White’s pro­
posed residence.

Where is Pasrur South? By motor it is one hour south
from the Pasrur North mission station, one hour east from
Gujranwala and one hour northeast from Lahore. These trips
bring one to the northern, western and southern boundary lines
respectively. Pasrur South was a part of Pasrur district until
1915, when the district was divided into Pasrur North and Pasrur
South. In outline the map of Pasrur South looks like that of
Africa. It is thirty miles in length from north to south, and

twenty miles at its greatest width. Much of the land which was
once waste is now bearing rich rice crops because of the immense
Raya branch of the Chenab Canal which runs the entire length
of the district, while great arms shoot out to the western boun­
dary. It is a district of villages, not a single city breaking the
village monotony. In these 250 or more villages live 150,000
people. Most of them are Mohammedans, though in nearly every
village, Hindus too are seen. With the exception of the Hindu
storekeepers and money lenders and a few tradesmen, the people
are farmers or the servants o f farmers. In this servant class
are found the 6000 Christians among whom the greater part of
our work in this district is done. But here they all are: high
caste, low caste, Mohammedan, Hindu, and Christian; each very
different from the other, yet having one thing in common— they
all speak the colloquial Punjabi. The farmer curses his oxen in
Punjabi, and in Punjabi the schoolmaster explains to the boys
the meaning of the Urdu words.
As yet we have no mission station for this district, the mis­
sionaries having their headquarters in Pasrur which is the cen­
ter of Pasrur North. The money for one of the residences which
we hope to build has been given by the Young People of the
Second Church, Allegheny, but along with many things that have
had to wait on account of the war, the building of these residences
has had to be postponed. The new railroad which is to be built
from near Lahore to Narowal will pass for twenty miles through
Pasrur South district, and we hope to locate these residences
near some station which will be convenient to the work.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Christians live in one hundred and ninety-six villages of the
district, varying in numbers from one to forty families in each.
These villages are grouped into eleven circles, three of which are
organized congregations having sessions and with pastors sup­
ported entirely by the people. The remaining eight circles are
in charge of Bible teachers paid by the mission.
Among the Christians our evangelistic effort has followed
two lines: First, to stir up the people to learn the word of God,
and second, to establish congregations.
With the accomplishment of the first object in mind, four
winters ago we had a whirlwind campaign to teach five Bible
stories. It was a success and used of the Lord in reviving and
inspiring interest in many places. The next year we followed
with a twelve story course, offering a certificate to each one who
passed the examination. The results made us all very happy.
Last year we had a sixteen story course with the added stimulus
of an inter-circle contest, a prize being given to the Bible teacher
or pastor whose teaching showed the best results. This year
*11 was going well in another new course when the influenza epi­

153
demic paralyzed everything. God substituted some special les­
sons in mortality, eternal life, and the comforting Jesus. There
were thirty terrible days of suffering. Four hundred and fiftyeight, or over seven per cent, of our Christians, were called home.
Now, three months later, many who were stunned because of
the sudden loss of loved ones are renewing their interest in com­
pleting the present year’s Bible course. The word of God is life,
and where it goes it brings life. One of the direct results of this
effort has been the large increase in the offerings of the people.
In circles where three years ago we got fifteen rupees, this year
we are getting fifty or sixty.
Our second line of special effort has been for Church or­
ganization. Some years ago three congregations were organized,
elders chosen and some of them ordained and installed. Then for
several years on account of heavy work and changing of mis­
sionaries this important work was neglected. The Church was
not being established. People called themselves Christians, but
did not think of the Church as something of their own. They
liked to bask in the sunshine and let “ Mother Mission” carry the
burden and pay the bills. What could be done? W e turned to
the records of the New Testament churches which were selfpropagating and self-supporting. What we needed to do was to
organize these churches along the New Testament lines.
Our first great need was for qualified elders. Presbytery
furnished us with a four years’ course for elders as a basis for
the required training. The Bible story campaigns pointed out
the men available for the office and we asked the people to choose
from among those who had learned. W e have frequent session
meetings with these elders, new and old, and instruct and drill
them in the ideals of the elder’s life and work. Last March
thirty-five elders from Pasrur South received certificates, having
completed their first year’s course. These will all appear again
before Presbytery this year and others with them.
Our second great need for these new churches is pastors.
We are praying that God will thrust out laborers from among
our young men who have been or are pupils in our schools.
Our work among the non-Christians is closely related to the
Christian work. Every effort made to improve the quality of
the Christians has its direct result in a better witness before the
non-Christians. Mohammedans and Hindus frequently visit the
Christian services and learn about Christ. Our Christian lay­
men recite to their non-Christian friends the Bible story they have
learned. W e make a special effort to sell Testaments and Scrip­
ture portions. A strong singing and preaching party is sent to
most of the melas and fairs where great crowds gather. The
ladies try always to visit the wife of the head man in the village,
and generally receive a most hearty welcome. There is no limit

to the preaching one could do as far as willing listeners is con­
cerned.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Our educational work in the district is carried on through
the medium o f eleven schools in which are now 552 boys and 32
girls. O f these, 255 are Christians, 315 Mohammedans, and 76
Hindus. W e feel that these schools are not only educating a small
part of the Christian community, but are also helping to evan­
gelize the non-Christians by teaching their children the word
of God. Part of the required course is the learning of the Sab­
bath school lessons, on which a yearly examination is given.
As only a very few girls attend these village schools, a special
effort is made to persuade girls of school age to enter one of our
girls’ boarding schools. In the past three years we have had
much to encourage us in this effort. Formerly parents were
very reluctant to send their little girls away from home and
trust them to the care of strangers, but after having seen some
of the results of life in these boarding schools, they are becom­
ing more and more satisfied to sacrifice for a time in order that
their daughters may be educated. The careful training a girl
receives in boarding school is bound to bear fruit. A girl from
one of our villages had been in the Sangla Hill school. Then
her parents married her to a heathen, of course, by a heathen
ceremony. But she at once began to let her light shine in her
village. She first prepared her own husband for baptism, (hen
his people, and now the whole low caste community in that vil­
lage have become Christians. She was not satisfied with her
heathen marriage, so persuaded her husband to have a re-mar­
riage according to Christian rites. She is the village scribe. One
day, in the presence of the missionary, a Mohammedan farmer
came bringing a letter. “ Yes,” he said in reply to an inquiring
look from the missionary, “ she reads all our letters for us and
writes the answers too.”
During these three years a Ford motor car has helped to
make possible a new standard of supervision for both evangelistic
and school work. Where formerly a school or session could be
visited but once or twice a year, monthly visits can now be made
even in the hot weather, and the constant supervision has resulted
in noticeable improvement in all lines of work.

their stony beds, the grass, the singing birds, and the fresh air
from the mountains (except in the hot, steamy summer) are all
in contrast with the cultivated dusty plains of most of the other

And then the people! W e have such a variety of them; from
the “ shepherds of the hills,” their full coats girded in by long
woolen ropes, leaving room for several weak little lambs to be
“ carried in the bosom,” and the other simple hill people, their
complexions rosy from the outdoor life that they lead; the shop­
keepers from the plains; the farmers who have lived their in­
dependent lives without the pinch of poverty on the land that
they have inherited from their fathers; the Gurkha soldiers; and
during most of the year groups o f English soldiers on their way
to and from the hills; to the day laborer, who depends upon his
meager daily earnings to keep himself and his family from starva­
tion. “ From our house by the side of the road” we hear all day
long the creak of the ox-cart and the scraping of the loose wheels
of the bamboo carts, and see the little hill ponies carrying the
poorer people up to the hills and back again; while the hill tonga,
the automobile and the motorcycle convey the more fortunate.
Life is busy, varied and free from monotony in Pathankot.
At one time Pathankot was a part of Gurdaspur mission
district, but in the early eighties it was made a separate district.
It has eight hundred and forty-seven square miles, and contains
a population of 232,000. It would keep several of the circuit
riders, of olden times busy to try to reach all the people during
the year, and then they could only say, “ How do you do?” and
go on. The independent, satisfied spirit of the people makes them
harder to reach, but they are not unresponsive when regular visits
have been made. Dr. Andrew Gorden, Dr. J. S. Barr, Dr. T.
E. Holliday, Rev. H. S. Nesbitt and Rev. J. H. Stewart have all
labored here. Dr. A. B. Caldwell, who has charge of the district,
was first assigned to this work in 1883, and has now returned to
the scene of his first labors in India. The Misses Cynthia and
Rosa Wilson also, we especially connect in thought with Pathan­
kot, and they are lovingly remembered by the people. In a Sikh
village the women told us about a girl whom the Misses Wilson
had taught to read and of how she loved to read her New Testa­
ment. From what they tell us it appears that she died a Chris­
tian at heart. To the efforts of Miss E. W- Maconachie, Elliott
Dispensary owes the place it holds in the hearts of the women
of Pathankot. Many women come from the outlying hills and
■villages to seek healing for the body, and at the Dispensary they
first hear of the great Healer, Christ Jesus.

O f the non-Christians, Miss Moore says: “ Non-Christian
describes most of the people of the district. The great majority
are Hindus, still worshipping stones and creatures, though ac­
knowledging one Creator, for whom different classes have dif­
ferent names. While their religious ideas are strange, beyond my
understanding, some manifest real heart hunger. Seeing their
sadness and despondency because of the many deaths from in­
fluenza, one realizes the blessed comfort the gospel brings and
these peoples’ need of it. W e find in every village quite a num­
ber of children with neither parent left. I thought I had seen
children badly enough neglected, but these orphans are dirtier,
more unkempt, more ragged than one ordinarily sees.” Many
of the low caste Hindus in the district have become Aryas and
are quite content, but some admit that they are no better off than
before and are willing to consider Christ’s claims, while others
are the boldest opponents of the gospel. Dr. Caldwell says, “ The
work among some of the lower caste Hindus is encouraging;
some of them tell us that they are thinking of becoming Chris­
tians, but are waiting for others to join them.” In speaking of
the readiness of the people to hear, he says, “ This past year there
has been a marked absence of efforts to oppose the preaching of
the gospel. While there have been occasional lively discussions,
there have been respectful hearings in most places. Even where
questions have been asked, the spirit o f the inquirer has been
good. In the past three years 3409 Bibles and Scripture por­
tions, and 1945 other religious books and tracts have been sold.
Selling at railway stations and on the trains has given many good
opportunities of presenting the gospel story to men o f various
castes, religions and nationalities.”
The Christian community o f Pathankot is small compared
with that o f the most of our districts. In 1917 five hundred and
twenty-nine Christians lived in seventeen villages, in only six
of which regular services were held. There were thirty-four
baptisms. Among those baptized was a woman who for several
years had been a great opponent of the Christian religion. A
great change came over her and she became an example to others
in the study o f God’s word, attendance at religious services and
the leading o f a consistent life before her heathen neighbors. She
has since been called to the higher service. In 1918 five hundred
and sixty-three Christians were reported, belonging to eighteen
villages; forty-six had died during the year, mostly of influenza.
O f the Christians Miss Moore says. “ It is only a few years since
these people became Christians, and they are all from the outcastes. They have fair ability, but are sadly in need of instruc­
tion. A few seem to have some comprehension o f and desire
for spiritual things. As one lay dying she said, ‘I am going home.’
There are some Christians in a few villages across the river in
India— Pathankot.

Jammu territory and Dr. Caldwell says, ‘They have shown an
interest in the recital of Bible stories, but they have yet to learn
that the lessons taught should be a part o f their own lives, and that
they should forsake former evil customs, and come out from
among the unclean. Yet some progress has been made.’ ”
The work of the congregation in Pathankot has been encour­
aging. For a while, each summer or autumn, Dr. Caldwell has
held services in English for the English soldiers who spend some
time here. These services have also been enjoyed by the teachers
and pupils of Avalon School. The work of the Sabbath school
has been given an impetus through two contests which were held,
In 1917 a Red and Blue contest was held in the school, and in
1918 the contest was with the Gurdaspur Sabbath school. In
1916 the reported average attendance was sixty-six, and for the
year 1918, one hundred and forty-seven. In the three years the
Sabbath school contributions have amounted to Rupees 395. The
men’s Bible class, the Prem Sangat, consisting mostly of nonChristians, has been kept up. In 1916 fifteen members of the
class were reported, while the average attendance for 1917 and
1918 was seventeen. The contributions of the congregation for
the past three years amounted to Rupees 450, besides Rupees 79
from the missionary societies of the school. The girls have also
organized some social service clubs among themselves. “ China”
was the subject for mission study in the new women’s missionary
society organized in the Pathankot church and was very much
enjoyed by the members. In the three years twenty-eight of the
Avalon girls have made a profession of their faith and united with
the church. Many have given evidence of spiritual growth.
Women’s W ork.— Miss Jane E. Martin, who had charge of
the zenana work in the city during the greater part of 1918, re­
ports : “ The Bible woman, who visited the homes in Pathankot
city, spent most of the time among the lower classes, preparing
inquirers for baptism and teaching the Christian women. Every
Sabbath afternoon during the summer an hour before the service
she brought a class of women to the church where they learned
the Sabbath school lesson for the day. They were much inter­
ested in this and took pleasure in telling the story of the lesson of
the week before, showing that they had thought of it during the
week. Several of the women received baptism and we pray that
this may be the beginning of a strong Christian community in
Pathankot city.”
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Village Schools.— There are one hundred and fifty-nine boys
and nine girls enrolled in eight village schools. O f these, thirty
of the boys and the nine girls are Christians. Also two Christian
girls from the villages are attending boarding school. O f one
of his village schools, Dr. Caldwell reports that, aside from a

few minor repairs, the whole support of the school is derived
from fees and Government aid. While preaching the gospel in
a certain village one man in the audience gave his hearty consent
to everything that was said and was able to join in the singing
of some of the Psalms. On making inquiries, when leaving this
place, we found that our agreeable member of the audience was
an old pupil of this same school.
Sixty Mohammedan girls have been enrolled during 1918
in our day school for girls in the town, and the average attend­
ance has been nearly forty. A branch Sabbath school has been
kept up, and there is usually an attendance of over thirty. Two
teachers in Avalon High School and one of the senior girls have
had full charge of this Sabbath school. The little girls very much
enjoy the Sabbath school picture cards from home when we have
them to give. They recite Bible stories with much interest, and
our prayer is that many o f them may be led to believe on Christ.
Avalon High School.— A comparison of figures shows en­
couraging growth in Avalon High School. In 1917, 114 pupils
were enrolled, 108 of whom were Christians and 95 boarders.
In 1918, 143 were enrolled, 123 of whom were Christians, and 110
boarders. In 1917 all the four candidates for the matriculation
examination passed. All the candidates in the girls’ middle, ex­
cept one who appeared only for arithmetic, passed in 1917, and
Avalon won three out of the ten Government scholarships, open
to Anglo-vernacular candidates in the Punjab. They draw these
scholarships while they are enrolled in the high school classes.
In 1918 all the candidates passed in the middle and won four out
of the ten scholarships. The five candidates stood 1st, 3rd, 5th,
9th and 21st among 162 candidates. The middle and high girls
enter the Lake Memorial Scripture Examination, and in 1918
our girls won the first and second prizes of Rupees 15 and Rupees
10 in the junior examination for Christians. The first prize-giving was held in April, 1918, and the school girls prepared the
program which was enjoyed by a large number of guests. The
beautiful prizes were furnished by the Bamba Circle of the First
Church, Seattle, Washington, and were handed to the winners
by the wife of the Deputy Commissioner o f Gurdaspur district,
which added to their value. On India’s “ Our Day” in 1917, and
Victory Day in 1918, the school gave patriotic programs. Many
of the women and girls of the town were invited, and most of
the guests came veiled. The special feature of the first program
was a demonstration by the First Aid class, and of the second
program, a history of the war, prepared by the teacher of his­
tory, and acted out by some of the seniors and juniors, represent­
ing the different countries which were in the war. The school
girls were happy because they had given pleasure and profit to
some who live “ behind the c u r t a i n w h o but for them would
have had no part in the patriotic celebrations.

The work in Elliott Dispensary has been carried on with
interest. On the bright sunny veranda, before they pass into
the dispensing room, many women for the first time hear of the
death and resurrection of Christ. Invitations, too, are often
given by the women which open new homes to the visits of the city
Bible women. During the recent influenza epidemic, the work­
ers. though themselves crippled by illness, were faithful in their
care of the sick in the school and city. In the three years about
14,000 patients have been treated, and they have made 51,985
visits to the dispensary for medicine and treatments.

Rawal Pindi district takes its name from Rawal Pindi, the
chief city between Lahore and Peshawar and the chief military
station in India. It was until recently, when Attock was taken
away from the north and west, a very large district. Even now
it has a population of 455,000 and an area of some 1512 square
miles, for which we as a mission are responsible. The city has
a population of about 70,000 and is an important center for trade
with Kashmir. Travelers going to and from that garden valley
usually go by this route.
Out of every 100 o f the population 84 are Mohammedans,
10 Hindus, 5 Sikhs, and one Christian. Most of the Christians
are British, as there are always British battalions and batteries
in the station besides a good many civilians. There are five
Protestant and two Roman Catholic churches to serve this com­
munity.
There are few good roads and the district is badly cut up
by ridges of hills. On the side towards the Himalayas we have
a large tract of really mountainous country, culminating in the
peak on which the sanatorium of Murree has been built. This
is over 7000 feet high and is a favorite resort for large numbers
o f visitors. Mission work in this center is carried on regularly
during the summer months.
T o the antiquarian there are some points of absorbing in­
terest in this region. O f these the most important are the three
sites of the ancient and powerful city of Taxila, which was a
great center of learning in Buddhist days and was the chief city
of North India. It was added to the em pireof Alexander the
Great when he conquered this part of India, and Greek coins,

statuary, etc., are now being dug out by the excavators. The
work is considered so promising that the Director-General of
the Archeological Department of India has had a residence built
on the spot and himself supervises the work, which will take at
least ten years. A permanent museum is to be erected to house
the relics discovered, and the walls and foundations of temples,
shrines, fortifications, shops, dwelling houses and palaces which
have been unearthed are to be protected for the benefit of the
public.
The American Presbyterian Mission opened work in Rawal
Pindi in 1856 and carried it on until 1892 when, by arrangement
between the two Boards, it was transferred to us.
Although Rawal Pindi is an old mission station we are so
near the frontier and the people are so bigoted that the progress
has not been as rapid as in many places further south.
W e now have a number of flourishing institutions that are
doing a great leavening work. These are the Gordon College,
the mission high school with its branches, the girls’ school, the
leper asylum, which we superintend for the Mission to Lepers,
and two organized congregations with very capable pastors.
The whole of the Indian Christian community lives in the
city. District missionaries itinerate through the most accessible
parts of the region, but as much of the land is cut up like the socalled bad-lands of Montana, and there are few roads, a great
many villages have never been visited.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
More Bibles, portions and religious books are being sold
than ever before. Despite the rise in prices more than a third as
many were sold this year in this district as in the whole of the
mission a year or two ago. A few years ago the sale of a full
New Testament was an event, but now there is a demand for full
Bibles. In the last year over 3200 books were sold in the district,
2500 being portions of Scripture, and in the city some 2540.
In earlier days it was considered dangerous to preach freely
in the streets of Rawal Pindi, but now it is safe in any part. At
present regular bazaar preaching is carried on three afternoons a
week, twice in the city, and once in the cantonments. As at home
it is found that the larger the band that goes out to preach the
more effective the appeal. Professional evangelists are useful, but
when volunteers take time to go out to sing and speak, the preach­
ing has more weight, and since it has been possible to enlist a good­
ly number o f these, the work has been more effective. More than
sixty helped last year in Synod’s Evangelistic Campaign.
Mr. Heinrich reports: “ The Synod’s Evangelistic Campaign
has given a new impetus to the evangelistic effort among nonChristians. Last ^year’s campaign, which culminated in the spe­
cial evangelistic week at the end of February, shook the whole

city. The Mohammedans brought up a man from Lahore, who
was formerly their missionary to England, to deliver lectures and
to carry on their campaign to combat ours. The Arya Samaj,
the Sikhs, and the Hindus all carried on campaigns of their own
after ours was finished. A large number of earnest inquirers
have been dealt with. Four Mohammedans and one high caste
Hindu have been baptized.
“ A number of large signs with Scripture verses have been
put up in front of the mission reading room. This room is at
the intersection of seven roads and is at the best corner for dis­
play advertising in the city.”
For the past seven years Dr. W . T.' Anderson and Miss M.
A. Lawrence have worked continuously in sowing the seed in
this district, while others have worked for shorter periods. It
has frequently been heart-breaking work. They were threatened,
scorned, abused, turned out, and even stoned, but they *never
gave up the struggle. Sometimes in a whole year there would not
be a single person that seemed like a true inquirer, but each year
more portions of God’s word were sold, more friends were made,
and they were given access to more homes.
At present Rev. J. H. Stewart and Dr. M. M. Brown are
dividing their time between Rawal Pindi and Attock. Both dis­
tricts are without lady missionaries.
Rev. J. H. Stewart reports: “ In the main the reception we
have had from the people in the villages has been marvelous.
They have listened, asked questions, bought books, and in some
cases followed us in the prayer, ‘Oh God, forgive my sins and
save me for Jesus sake.’ ”
The high caste convert is always a great problem. He comes
penniless and he can find work with difficulty. He must be sup­
ported for a longer or shorter time while he is being instructed.
Frequently he must be clothed as well as fed, but there is no fund
that can be used for this. After he has been baptized he can be
taken on as a mission worker, if he is fitted for it, or if he is of
school age he can be given a scholarship ; otherwise the missionary
himself has to provide for his support until he passes through
the transition period. W e have been praying for a harvest from
the high castes, but we do not really know what we could do
with them if they should come.
At present there are two men of this type in this city. One
o f them has been baptized and the other is under instruction.
Both are from fine families, one being a Brahman, and the other
from a very wealthy land-owning merchant family. Both of
them are at present homeless and both would be very valuable
helpers if they had more training. The Brahman was for seven
years in the famous school at Hardwar on the Ganges which
trains Hindu religious leaders. He is now desirous of entering
the Christian ministrv.

The second is one of the first fruits from the Punjab Synod’s
Home Mission in Mianwali. When he decided to come out he
had to leave his home and came to Rawal Pindi. He had been
partner in his father’s business and his personal expenses were
several hundred rupees a month, but he gave it all up and for a
time was simply an object o f charity, living with a devout elder
of the congregation, until a position Rs. 40 a month was found
for him as foreman of a gang of laborers putting up an office
and personal-work room for Mr. Heinrich.
His father has come several times to persuade him to return
and his mother has come once. His father offered him a gift
o f 70,000 rupees outright if he would return to them. His uncles
have come with cajolery and threats, but he has stood firm. He
has been home once to try and persuade his wife to come with
their two babies and live with him, but he and the missionaries
who went to help him had to return unsuccessful. At present
he is grading some land at the leper Asylum. What can we do
for such men ? This problem is bound to become more and more
acute as increasing numbers take the decisive step and give up
father and mother, wife and children, for Christ’s sake.
For some the hardships and temptations are too great. Last
summer a middle aged maulvie, or religious leader of the M o­
hammedans, was baptized at the time of the meeting of the
Synod. He had been a prosperous Central Asian trader, knew
English and several Oriental languages well, but, through no
fault of his own, had lost his property some time before. He
seemed to be a true convert, but like all of the class from which
he came he considers himself a person of some importance. Sev­
eral positions were found for him to tide him over the time of
transition, but he lost them all. Finally he lost his courage and
went back to his people. But he has not been happy, and re­
cently he has written that if some arrangements can be made for
him he would like to come back. It is easy to say that he ought
to have more faith and that he should not look to the mission to
take care of him, but what would you do in his place?
Leper Asylum.— Two years ago the starting of a new asylum
in the native state of Poonch took away twenty-nine of the pa­
tients from the Rawal Pindi Leper Asylum, along with the grant
for their maintenance. This reduced our numbers to forty-five,
but the recent hard times and the addition of a Persian wheel to
raise water for some little gardens has attracted more of these
unfortunates, and we have sixty-six on the roll at the close of
1918. There are two advantages in these gardens. In the first
place the vegetables raised will lend a little variety to the diet of
the lepers and, secondly, gardening will give them something to
do. Prizes will be awarded to the lepers making the best gardens.
There is of course no market for what a leper touches, and one

163
of the saddest things about their lot is their uselessness and the
fact that they have nothing to do.
As this is a large military station we have had more op­
portunities than those in other places to help in war work. At
present three services are being held each Sabbath for Indian
Christians in the army. T w o are being held in the Motor Trans­
port School, one of which is conducted in English by Professor J.
Gordon Strong for about one hundred Karens from Burmah, and
one for the men in a labor corps. Many non-Christians attend the
services which are in Urdu and a number have been baptized.
Besides the missionaries, a number of Indians have given
valuable service in this work. The Rev. James Ganda Mai was
so successful with soldiers that he was selected to be one of the
chaplains to go with our Christian troops to Mesopotamia. His
recent death there from pneumonia is a loss not only to Rawal
Pindi, but to the whole church. Rev. Khera Mai, who follows
him as pastor of the cantonment congregation, has had experi­
ence in the Y. M. C. A. and is very efficient in this kind of work.
The British soldiers have not been neglected. Regular ser­
vices are held for them by their chaplains and additional meet­
ings in the Soldiers’ Home. In order to interest them in the work
of missions, series of lectures have been given on Indian subjects.
Profs. R. R. Stewart and Israel Latif, son of Rev. James Ganda
Mai, of the college, spent their summer vacations in work in the
Y. M. C. A., and after completing his three years as a teacher
in Gordon College, Prof. John W . Meloy spent a year in the
same work.
Sabbath Schools.— Much use has been made of Sabbath
schools in evangelistic work. Besides the two for Christians in
the congregations, there are three well organized and flourishing
schools for non-Christians which are carried on by voluntary
help. Miss Martin tells of one other that is worthy of special
note: “ East of Rawal Pindi there is a great tract of broken land
honeycombed with brick kilns, where thousands of people live
in little groups o f huts. There are families of Christians scat­
tered among these. Part of my Sabbath morning’s work was to
hold a Sabbath school for these Christians. One morning as I
was going along the path a Mohammedan boy came and asked me
to show him a picture of Jesus Christ. I told him that I did not
have a picture, but I would tell him a story about Jesus. This
pleased him very much and he said, ‘If 1 gather up a lot of chil­
dren will you stop and tell us another story next week?’ The
next week fifteen children were ready to hear the story of Christ
and most o f them committeed a verse. This has been a bright
spot in my work. It has often been a class of fifty. One day a
man asked what the gain would be if he became a Christian. A
little boy o f twelve or thirteen said, ‘This lady is not teaching
about the things we e^ain in this world, but of spiritual gain.’ ”
164

Women’s W ork.— O f the zenana work Miss F. C. Martin
reports: “ W e have aimed to give weekly lessons in forty houses
or centers. It has been a satisfaction at the end of the year to
find that we have been able to do much more than this. There
has been a splendid interest shown. Another door open to us
these past years of war has been that of visiting the wives and
families of men who are at the front, and it has been one of my
great disappointments that we have not been able to cope better
with this great need, because what we were able to do was so
much appreciated. For example, a man home on furlough from
France came with his wife one dayto thank me. He said, ‘One
of the first things my wife told mewas how you had comforted
and helped her. When she thought that I was dead you came
and encouraged her as though you knew her special need. But
how could all this be if it were not for God who knows all things
and loves us ?’ ”
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Gordon College.— In spite of the war the work of the college
has been carried on as usual. The attendance has slightly in­
creased. The highest number on the roll last year was one hun­
dred and seventy-five, which is the largest we have ever had.
Some of our students, and many of our graduates, are doing
noteworthy service with the army and in the Y. M. C. A. in
Mesopotamia, South Africa, Palestine, Egypt and France.
During the first half of the period in review the college was
in charge of Dr. E. L. Porter. Since he went on furlough, Prof.
W . H. Merriam has been Principal. There are four permanent
missionaries and two Indian Christians on the staff. This is an
increase of three. Half of the professors are non-Christians. If,
however, we insisted on having Christians only we should be rob­
bing some of our other institutions and so we must patiently wait
for the development of the Christian community.
Professor John W . Meloy after finishing his three years’
term in the college worked a year among British soldiers, and in
1918 returned to America to enter the seminary and fit himself
for returning to India.
W e have sixteen Christian students, six more than we had
three years ago. The quality seems to be improving. The “ Stu­
dents’ Christian Union” Jnas taken the responsibility of carrying
on the non-Christian Sabbath school held in the mission school
building. Last year ten students helped in this work, and three
more helped in the Lai Kurti branch. Some have helped in the
weekly bazaar preaching and six were employed as evangelists
during the summer by Rev. J. H. Stewart, who was pleased with
their work.
The Boys’ High School.— For the past three years the en­
rolment has remained close to seven hundred, most of the students

being in the primary grades. Mr. Heinrich reports: “ There are
now seven high schools in the city. O f these ours was the first, and
nno that has been established has drawn from the mission
school enrolment. SL*. of these have been started in the last
eighteen years; nevertheless our school is still in high favor in
the city.

that deserves notice is the increase

ception o f the headmaster and the Bible teacher, the staff has
been almost entirely non-Christian. Through the efforts of the
headmaster, B. Samuel, there are now ten Christian teachers.
This is a cause for great gratitude.”
The Girls’ School.— Although there are so many boys’ high
schools in the city, there is none for the girls, and the mission
school with an enrolment of one hundred and fifty is the pioneer
school, although it is only of^middle standard. It has a fii^e staff
of Christian teachers and Miss F. C. Martin, who has had charge
for the past three years, writes: “ The past year has been a good
one along every line of work. The two girls who were baptized
have continued to grow in the Christian faith and are a real help
and blessing in the school. The attendance has had a steady
growth, and we see both on the part of the girls and their parents
a desire for education, and what is still better, a realization that
education should be something more than being able to read a
book.”

Sangla Hill lies between the mission districts oi Lyallpur
and Khangah Dogran. It was opened in 1901, and the first micsionaries to reside there were Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Caldwell and
Miss Kate A. Hill. Before this, work had been carried on in the
district by the Lyallpur district missionaries.
The district forms a part of the richest farm land of the
Punjab, and is irrigated by the Chenab Canal. The area is esti­
mated at 800 square miles and the population at 220,000. Most
of it is within the bounds of Lyallpur tehsil. O f this tehsil we ob­
tain the following information from Government reports; Wheat
is the principal crop grown, 283,000 acres being sown in 19111912. There are 55,000 low caste people, of whom 34,000 have
not embraced any of the great religions; 14,000 have become
Christians, 6000 Mohammedans and 1000 Sikhs. Thus about 25
per cent, of these have been won for Christ. Among the three

principal religions, the people are divided as follow s: 222,000
Mohammedans, 82,000 Hindus and 78,000 Sikhs. Three and a
third per cent, of the people are literate. A scor^ of language»
áre spoken, hut that used by the majority
the people is Punjabi.

there was not room in the city to afford protection to all the people
of the neighborhood many of them gathered on a hill of solid
rock two hundred and fifteen feet high and about a mile in cir­
cumference which lies near the city. From this they made their
first defense, but were soon driven within the city’s walls. Then
the city walls were breached, several thousand Indians were killed,
and 70,000 taken prisoners. The place was visited later in A. D.
630 by the Chinese pilgrim and historian, Hwen Thsang, who
found the walls of the city completely ruined, but the founda­
tions still remaining.
The hill referred to is the one from which Sangla takes its
name and stands directly in front of our mission compound and
residences.
E V A N G E L ISTIC .
In the absence of a regular staff of missionaries for the dis­
trict since 1916, proselyting sects such as the Salvation Army,
the Roman Catholics, Peter’s Men, the Seven Brothers, Jesus’
Army, the Brethren and the Seventh Day Adventists h ^ve done
real harm to the work.
Regular teaching has been kept up in about two thirds of the
villages in which there are Christians. The opportunity for the
preaching o f the gospel is greater than ever. Among the low
caste tribes the door is wide open. The Mazhabi Sikhs (low
caste people who have adopted the Sikh faith) are ready and
waiting to be taught, and a great work could be done if teachers
were available. Twenty-five years ago, through the net work of
canals, physical life was brought to this land which was until
then only a desert. Now the opportunity to bring the water o f
life to dry and parched souls is at hand.
The organized church work consists of two congregations
Sangla Hill and Shahkot. In Sangla congregation the work has
been proceeding about as usual. There was a great deal of sick­
ness and many deaths among the members and also in the pas­
tor’s family during the influenza epidemic, and this has had its
effect on the work. Regular teaching in the villages of the con­
gregation has been difficult. The pastor’s salary is largely paid
from missionary and mission funds. The grace of giving is no*

■very well developed. In Shahkot the work has gone back. Dur­
ing the year the pastor left because of lack of support. Efforts
are being made to get some one to take his place. The difficulties
here are as in other places, the poverty and ignorance of the
people, who live from day to day a hand-to-mouth existence, and
thus have little to spend for spiritual things. One encouraging
thing is that many of those who went over to the Roman Catholics
and the Salvation Army are returning to our mission that they
may be taught and cared for.
Women’s W ork.— W ork among women in this district has
suffered greatly because there'have been no district lady mission­

have moved in from other places where they were visited by
Bible women or missionaries. These welcome us and should have
regular visitation. During the last summer eighteen of the sur­
rounding villages and about twenty homes of non-Christians in:
the city were visited by Miss Hamilton. In some places thewomen have been taught and in many places they ask for teach­
ing.

Girls’ Boarding School.— Miss Flora J. Jameson reports that
during the last three years there has been a steady increase in
the school enrolment. There are now one hundred and forty-five
boarders and three day pupils. The standard of the school has
been raised from the fifth to the eighth grade, and although theneeded equipment has not yet been provided, fifteen girls are
studying in the new department. There has also been some in­
crease in the Government grant-in-aid. Three years ago eightyone rupees per month were received. Now we are getting Rs. 102.
As in former years malaria has been the school’s most con­
stant though very unwelcome visitor. This last year came the in­
fluenza epidemic, and during it sixty-one girls were sick at one
time. However, only nine or ten of these were seriously ill, and
it was the Father’s good pleasure to spare them all. When the
epidemic had passed the girls were tremendously impressed with
the fact that although in outlying villages scores had died of the
disease, from the school not one was taken. They asked to be
allowed to give a special thank-offering and their Christmas o f­
fering o f fourteen rupees was the result. When asked what should
be done with this money they of one accord said, "Let us use it
for the help of those who have been widowed and orphaned
through this epidemic.”
At the last communion nine girls were received into the
church. In the case of two of these girls there was a question
whether or not they should be admitted. It seemed, however, un­

wise to refuse them and the real growth manifest in their lives
has made it plain that no mistake was made.
The spirit of cheerful giving has not diminished. How far
to encourage this desire to give is a problem hard to solve. Pen­
cils, paper, soap and other small articles must be bought from
the girls’ small store of spending money, and few of the parents
have much to spare. During the year the total Sabbath school,
Christian Endeavor and thank-offerings amounted to 105 rupees.
Village Schools.— The village schools in this district have
improved during the last year. During 1916-1917 there were
eleven schools with an enrolment o f 147. W e have now eleven
schools with an enrolment of 380. In April a school inspector
was secured, and the work of the teachers has much improved.
W e have twelve teachers, seven Christian and five non-Christian.
Two of the schools are drawing aid and we have made applica­
tion to the Government for five others which we hope will soon
be receiving aid. The enrolment of Christian boys and girls has
increased from fifty-nine to eighty-three and the number of boys
reading in the Government schools from ten to fifteen.
Very few girls are being educated. Only fourteen are at­
tending the village schools and about the same number the board­
ing schools. One frequently hears a remark like this. “ If we edu­
cate our girls we cannot get money for them when we marry
them.” It is a sad condition, but it is something which only the
power of the gospel will cure.
Tw o hindrances might be mentioned regarding the work of
the schools. First, the poverty of the people. Not only are the
father and mother wage earners, but every child that is able to
do anything such as herd cattle or bring grass is pressed into
service. The more wage earners there are in the family the more
there is to eat. High prices make their needs more pressing and
the problem more difficult. Secondly, the inability of the people
to appreciate the necessity of educating their children that the
future generation may be benefited. They ask to be taken out
of their servitude, yet they are unwilling to send their children to
school that they may be educated and thus escape the slavery of
their forefathers.

center of the plain the Jhelum, rolling along on their way to the
Indus River and the Arabian Sea. Except for the Salt Range,
which crosses the northwestern part, the country stretches away
in a great plain for about one hundred miles in one direction and
fifty in the other. Here in this hot dry climate the scanty rain­
fall was altogether inadequate for the needs of man and beast.
The cattle thief roamed at will over the unwatered plain, graz­
ing his cattle on the shrubs that dotted the Waste land, or on the
grass that sprang up after the infrequent shower. Here ranged
the tiger, leopard, hyena, wolf, jackal, deer, and other wild ani­
mals. As the rivers changed their courses lowering the water
level, the wells became useless and the inhabitants were forced to
desert their villages and build new ones. Hundreds of mounds,
the ruins of these deserted villages, are the only record we have
of those early days.
But lo! the scene has changed. No longer do great stretches
of waste land greet the eye; no longer does cattle thief or wild
animal hold undisputed sway. The rivers still flow on, but their
waters have been turned into canals that carry life and prosperity
wherever they go. It is a beautiful scene as one stands on any
eminence and looks away to miles upon miles of cultivated land,
with fields laid out in almost geometrical precision, with rows of
trees, with prosperous villages, and the silver ribbons of num­
berless water courses disappearing in the distance.
The Government reclaimed much o f this territory through
the Lower Jhelum Canal, and with the increase of water supply,
the population increased, until now 815,000 people inhabit an
area of 5930 square miles. The Mohammedans comprise 83
per cent, of the population, the Hindus 15JA per cent, and the
Christians \*/2 per cent.
Punjabi is the language almost universally spoken. It dif­
fers somewhat in different parts of the district, but one well ac­
quainted with Punjabi can easily make himself understood any­
where.
Sakesar in the northeast is a summer hill station nearly 5000
feet high, and the detached hills of the Kirana Range rise ab­
ruptly from the plain, south of Sargodha city. “ These Hills ap­
pear to be an advanced outpost of the great peninsular rock
system, much older than the Salt Range, and even than the
mighty Himalayas, within sight of which they maintain an un­
daunted front.”
The rainfall in this district averages only fifteen inches, and
some years it entirely fails. The temperature runs high. To
quote from the Gazetter, “ Some parts of the district are, in the
months of May and June, among the hottest regions in India.
In those months little rain falls, and the temperature rises day
after day to 115 degrees or more in the shade, the average daily
maximum for June being 108 degrees.”

The district was first visited by missionaries coming from
Jhelum to tour in the villages. Then missionaries were located
in Bhera, the district being called Bhera mission district. When
the canal was opened, and the influx of Christians and Chuhras
changed the center of importance for our work, the headquar­
ters were changed from Bhera to Sargodha city and the name
of the mission district to Sargodha.
It has been the intention o f the mission to have two districts,
North and South Sargodha, as it is impossible for one team to
evangelize a district as large as Connecticut with nearly a million
people, 92 per cent, o f them living in villages. There have been
so few ladies available, however, and there have been so many
changes in the missionary staff, that we have not been able ade­
quately to man the two districts and maintain them as separate
units.
E V A N G E L ISTIC .
The Rev. J. A. McArthur reports: “ North Sargodha is com­
pelled to report quite a decrease in numbers. This is accounted
for in various ways. Some have joined the Army, others have
moved to new canal regions. Influenza carried off as many as
a tenth o f our Christians in some villages, there being from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred deaths from influenza alone.
Also there have been but few baptisms, as the class from which
our converts usually come have practically all become either Chris­
tians or Mohammedans.”
Dr. T. E. Holliday reports from South Sargodha: “ When I
came to this field two years ago, Mrs. Holliday and I spent our
first winter in camp, getting a cursory acquaintance with the
district and people. W e held five communion services. As com­
munion had not been held before in most of our camping places,
it involved a great deal of labor to teach those who were to par­
take o f the Supper, but the joy in their faces well repaid us for
the labor expended. There were on the roll of the Christian
community from over one hundred villages some 4500 names.
The revised lists show only 2642. There has been a heavy stream
of migration to new land opening up for cultivation. A num­
ber have returned to their former homes and one hundred and
twenty-four, or eight per cent, of the membership, have died dur­
ing the past year. I find Roman Catholics in about fifty villages.
The presence o f these proselyters in our midst makes discipline
almost impossible. They are a blight and a heavy handicap on
our community unless we look upon them as a help in drawing
off the more worldly minded, those not willing to exert them­
selves to learn and to grow in grace.

of a group of villages with fair chance for success. The paucity
of workers leaves many villages without any one to lead them
in worship even on the Sabbath. W e have baptized about one
hundred and fifty children and a few adults in the two years and
there are some two hundred and fifty other children in the Chris­
tian homes awaiting this ordinance. In most cases the parents
—
tn intelligently assume the responsi­
bility involved in presenting their children rui baptism. Still I
have had several very helpful baptismal services. Pray that men
suitable for the eldership and some who will become faithful, soulloving pastors may be found for this needy people. Our people
have given about Rs. 550 for Christian work the past year. They
have many faults, but are rich in possibilities of good.”
There are many instances of interest and even eagerness in
the reception of the gospel message by non-Christian men. There
is a spirit of inquiry that was not present a few years ago. The
manifest hunger of soul is not confined to any caste or community,
but is quite universal. Many seem to lack only the courage to
come out. Some others are so rampant in their opposition and
denunciation that it is evident they are fighting the truth in their
own hearts.
Mr. McArthur says of the need in one section of North
Sargodha: “ How true today are the Master’s words, ‘Lift up
your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto
harvest.’ At Bhera, the largest city of this district, we have
had a house vacant for ten years, as we have not had the mis­
sionary to locate there. Bhera is a city of 16,000, certainly a
large enough field to appeal to any one. Not far away is Miani,
a place of nearly 6000 people, without a single Christian or any
one to go to them with the gospel; numerous villages line the road
on both sides between these cities. The thirty miles of the main
road between Bhera and Shahpur, the old civil district center, are
dotted with villages. Multitudes are all about us for whom
Christ gave His blood on Calvary. Ascending to the Father He
left us to complete His work of redemption by proclaiming to a
lost world His wondrous love and grace. ‘ Carest thou not that
these perish ?’ ”
Dr. Holliday tells of a trip along the canal west of Sar­
godha of more than fifty miles, and at its end he still lacked twen­
ty miles of reaching the border of the field in that direction. He
says: “ Once when we had lost our way it was not easy to de­
cline the hearty offer of the Janglis to lodge us for the night,
since we were twelve miles from camp. Then months later I
visited these people and sold them a full New Testament and
other books. In one village after telling the way of life to a
large group of Janglis, one of them said to us, ‘ Since the days
o f Adam down to this time no one has ever brought us this mes­
sage. Why have you come now?’ And what fit reply could I

give to that group and to thousands of others, without God and
without hope, in the immense stretches o f Sargodha territory ?
Will the reader at home send the answer and speed up our share
of the 407 ? In this campaign, time is vital. If we are to reach
the multitudes of our generation we must make haste. Even of
our Christian membership eight per cent, have this year passed
away. If judgment begin at the house of God, w h a t shall be the

Women’s Work.— The women’s work suffered very heavily
in the death of Mrs. Holliday, a most valued worker, who was
permitted to give one short year to Sargodha’s women and then
was taken away at the close of the year.
Mrs. Shahbaz, the wife of the famous pastor and poet, who
has given us our Punjabi Psalter which is being used throughout
the entire Punjab, carries on valuable work in Bhalwal. She
is running a little dispensary and is a most successful Bible wo­
man. Their son, Joseph, is an Indian officer in one of the Chris­
tian battalions and is a spiritual leader as well.
In regard to the work among Christian women, the Misses
Ruth A. W am ock and Martha J. Strong report: “ Our work has
b een the usual round of villages day after day, the usual round
o f line upon line and precept upon precept, monotonous in the tell­
in g , but so necessary. There is a great indifference and little real
spiritual hunger. W e can only pray that something may come
to awaken them out of their apathy and self-sufficiency. In each
V illag e w e h a v e tried to teach something that would really stay
with the women and be a help to them in their daily lives, but
o fte n it seems almost hopeless, for they are so ignorant, so blinded
to spiritual things. Superstition in one form or another still has
a strong hold on many of them. The greed for land has been a
very great hindrance in the lives of our Christians, but in many
villages visited of late we have found less mention of it than for­
merly; and in some places where the people seemed dead be­
fo re , we find signs o f new life. In many places all over the dis­
tr ic t the tide seems to have turned and to be moving toward
b e tte r things.”
Considered with regard to the non-Christian world, the in­
fluence of the Christians has often been good. In the part of
the country where the Christians live we nearly always find a wel­
come among the non-Christians, and sometimes find those who
h a v e been definitely influenced toward Christianity.
A Sikh
woman came to the camp accompanied by her little boy. Sur­
prised at seeing that the boy’s hair had been cut, the missionaries
asked about it. The mother said. “ W e do not want him to grow
u p a Sikh, but a Christian.” This was the influence of t.he Chris­
tians in the village where she lived. Another instance of the
sa m e was when a great spirit o f inquiry was found among the
non-Christians in one village. Words o f appreciation of the

173
Christians were heard on all sides. “ Why, Sahib,” said one old
Sikh, “ they do not lie and fight and steal as they used to do. W e
can depend on them now as we could not before.”
The yearly presbyterial is a great occasion for the village
women. All through the year they talk of it and look forward
to it. It is held every spring in Sargodha. On the appointed
day, companies of gaily dressed women may be seen coming
toward the city from different directions. A few come by train,
a few on springless ox-carts, but the majority walk, some as
far as twenty or thirty miles, carrying a baby or two on their
hips, and a little food tied up in a cloth on their heads. They can
often be heard singing the Psalms as they come along the road.
The thank-offering is one o f the most interesting parts. Some­
times there is a little rivalry, mostly good natured, on the part
of different villages to excel one another in the size of their o f­
ferings. They are interested too in the reasons given for being
thankful. But best of all is the story-telling contest. For two
years prizes have been offered to the women who can recite ten
Bible stories, and this year a prize was offered also to the teacher
who had the most women win prizes. Excitement runs high and
the interest is so great that neilher dogs nor babies distract the
attention of the women.
Among the non-Christian women the work is very encour­
aging. Open ears and open hearts are met on all sides. While
in parts of the district, where the camp has seldom or never been,
there is sometimes not the cordial reception that we meet in the
other parts, yet a few minutes’ visit with the women seldom fails
to be followed by a hearing of the message and a request for us
to come again. Often the story of the sufferings and death of
Christ brings tears to their eyes. At one village a Hindu woman
came to the camp for medicine. She could read, and knew much
of the story of Christ’s birth. One day she told us with tears
in her eyes that she was one of two wives and that her husband
cared nothing for her. “ Give me some book,” she said, “ that
will speak words of comfort to me.” She went away after get­
ting a copy of John’s Gospel. Two or three days later, with a
changed face, she said, “ That book contains very sweet and
comforting words.” W e recently visited a city, one of the largest
in our district, but one we had not been able to visit for years.
As the story of Christ was being told one afternoon to some
Mohammedan women there were frequent expressions of ap­
proval and finally one woman said she believed on Christ. She
said a woman missionary had visited them some years ago and
told them about the Saviour. “ One soweth and another reapeth,
but God giveth the increase.”

In North Sargodha: “ The school work also has suffered
because of the shifting population. In one place where we had
quite a prosperous school the Christian renters’ lease on the land
expired and they were compelled to move away and the school
had to be closed. In another village where we had a good build­
ing and a most efficient teacher, the Government took over the
village for settlement to army pensioners, so the people had to
move to another place and the school was broken up.”
In South Sargodha: “ O f the six schools three have done well
and the attendance has increased. Two have barely held their
own and will likely have to close owing to the opening of op­
position schools. The Christians have been tried out with a
teacher in two other villages, but their lack o f response has com­
pelled the closing of the schools. In a new canal region, where
labor is scarce and wages high, it is difficult to keep the schools
up to the proper standard. The value o f education is too little
appreciated by the village Christians. Still the enrolment has
been 262, with 73 Christian boys and 46 Christian girls in the
number. Government aid has been over Rs. 400 yearly.”
M E D IC A L .
Medical work is carried on in this district at Sargodha,
Bhera, Bhalwal and Malakwal.
The work at Sargodha has suffered from the lack of con­
tinuity in management and because now, for nearly four years,
there has been no resident missionary physician. During 1916
the hospital work was carried on by Indian compounders and
nurses under the care of Dr. J. P. Simpson, who lived at Jhelum,
one hundred and twelve miles distant, and had to make a journey
o f ten hours by train to visit the work. Then early in 1917, be­
cause of the shortage of workers and the difficulty of supervis­
ing the work at that distance, the hospital was closed. It was
reopened after nearly a year, with an Indian assistant surgeon
and other helpers, and with a resident missionary, Miss Laura
Cleland, in charge o f the institution. One does not need to be
connected with a hospital long to realize something of the need
of the women for medical aid. The terrible condition of some
o f the women as a result of the work of ignorant practitioners
fairly makes one sick. The Inspectress of Hospitals after visit­
ing "this institution reports: “ The buildings are suitable for a
good zenana hospital, which is much needed in Sargodha, there
being no other women’s medical work in the district. If the
mission can undertake to supply the need adequately, there will
be no necessity to build a female department in the new Sargodha
Civil Hospital.” W e are hoping that the close of the war and

the release of doctors from France will make one available for
Sargodha Hospital.
In Bhera Dispensary the work continues to be carried on
with conscientious care, as in years past. An assistant surgeon,
a compounder, and a Bible woman, Miss Aldridge, comprise the
staff. “ The number of patients treated at the Bhera Female
Hospital was 97 per cent, of the urban female population of the
tehsil, which shows clearly the great service rendered by the Mis­
sion.”— (Shahpur Gazetteer). The encouraging feature reported
from Bhera is the work among the children. While the Bible is
always read to the women and some of them listen well, yet the
greatest interest is manifested by the children who are very fond
of Bible pictures and some of them even after an interval of
some months can tell the stories they have heard.
Through the generosity of a gentleman in California a dis­
pensary is being carried on in Malakwal, an important railway
junction. This work, under an Indian doctor, is doing much, not
only to relieve physical suffering, but also to witness for Christ
and to commend the gospel to the non-Christians.

In the central part of the Punjab, in India, are located Sial­
kot city and district. The city has a population of about 60,000,
consisting mainly of Mohammedans and Hindus, but with a few
Christians and representatives of other religions. The district
of which our mission has charge, covering an area of 400 square
miles, has a total population of 264,000, made up of Megs, Bhatwals, Doms, Chumars and Chuhras in addition to the Mohamme­
dans and Hindus. All of these have their separate dialects of
Punjabi. This is especially noticeable in their religious vocabu­
laries.
In most o f our Sialkot villages the Mohammedans predom­
inate, and in practically all of them are found some Christians
who are usually the servants of land owners. The number of
Christians in a village may vary from one family to thirty or
forty, according to its size. Here, as in everything else, the rules
of caste obtain, and the Christians are compelled to live in quar­
ters entirely separate from the village proper, although their
one-room houses are often of the same style and size as those
o f their employers. These villages are so compactly built that
one may go from one end to the other on the house tops. The

courtyards, where the cattle are tied, while the men usually work
in the fields. Sialkot is a familiar name to all in our Church, for
it was here that Dr. Andrew Gordon founded the mission in 1855.
Since that time many changes have taken place and thousands of
doors are now open, so that not only may the name of Christ be
preached practically everywhere, but many come asking to hear
o f Him.
E V A N G E L ISTIC .
As we look over the record of three years of evangelistic
work, we can only praise the Giver of Good for His manifold
blessings and care. Through our praise runs a note of sadness
for those who have been interested and fallen away, for those
who have never cared, and most of all, for those who would care
if there were some one to teach and lead them. Visiting from
house to house in the city, preaching from village to village, teach­
ing the Bible in Sabbath and day schools, selling Scriptures, tell­
ing the “ old, old story” in connection with medical work, all
these go on from tent and residence day after day, winter and
summer.
Owing to the pressure of work among the more than 4000
village Christians, we are able to give but scant attention to the
non-Christians. Some of these, however, in each village attend
the services for Christians, and others come to the tents in
large numbers. So we are able to give them the message. W e
long for our share of the “407” so that all these may have a fair
chance. Misses Henrietta Cowden and Harriet G. Jongewaard
and Rev. and Mrs. W . M. McKelvey all testify to the wonder­
ful readiness and even eagerness which the Mohammedans show
for the gospel message. This is also evidenced by the large num­
ber of Scripture portions sold. The written word has never been
so popular as now. A young Mohammedan at the tent the other
day said before a crowd, “ Whenever we get together these days,
we Mohammedans are saying to each other, ‘Let us become Chris­
tians.’ It is only our mistaken idea of what you have meant by
Jesus being the Son of God that has kept us back.” Since Christ­
mas a Sayyid (descendant of Mohammed) and his wife have
been with the camp. The Sayyids are worshipped and supported
by their religious adherents, and in turn give them charms and
perform incantations for them. This couple first heard of the
“ way” in Gurdaspur. They were sufficiently convinced of its
truth to turn over their house to relatives and set out to know the
way more perfectly. They are learning rapidly and with joy,
and are almost ready for baptism. Nearly every day high class
Mohammedans come to dispute, question, or revile, but he firm­
ly gives a reason for the faith that is in him.

city. Bazaar preaching to large audiences in various parts of
the city has been one outstanding characteristic in this co-opera­
tive effort, whilt another has been the large number of gospel
portions sold. A remarkable accomplishment last year was the
sale of five hundred and sixty-four Bibles, New Testaments and
portions by one of our workers during five days of the campaign
week.
Through the generosity of a liberal member of the Church
at home, the Sialkot congregation has now been provided with
two attractive substantial church buildings. These are both so
situated that they serve splendidly the needs of our Christian
community and also afford centers from which evangelistic work
may be developed for Hindus and Mohammedans. In the First
Church regular Sabbath and mid-week services are conducted by
the pastor. In the other, known as the “ Jubilee Church,” ser­
vices are being carried on regularly by volunteers from the First
Church.
In the work among village Christians there has been much
to encourage as well as many discouragements. Many show little
real heart hunger for the word of God. Centuries of mental
sluggishness and their condition as hard-worked, underfed serfs
make it difficult for them to throw off the age-long inertia of the
East. Nor do they find it easy to forsake their evil marriage
customs and superstitious rites. Many of the people, however,
have broken entirely away from their heathen practices.
Roman Catholics seem to be losing some of their hold cn
the people. Mr. McKelvey writes that, during a three months'
absence from the field, not a village yielded to the efforts of the
Roman Catholic priest.
Some who formerly were proud of
being Roman Catholics are now ashamed to own it.
Rev. Gulam Masih, the only pastor in the district, has not
been able to get his full support from the people of his congre­
gation. W ar and influenza have decreased the earning member­
ship, and famine conditions have sent others to seek employment
elsewhere. Some progress has been made in learning Bible stories
and we always expect to find a band of eager Psalm-singers in
the villages where a worker lives. Considerable interest has
been manifested by the workers and their families in the three
annual Bible schools, in which the books of Genesis, I. Peter and
Acts respectively were taught. In addition, there has been the
daily period for learning the Bible stories which they must later
teach in their villages. Another interesting feature of the work
has been the teaching of the regular course of study in Bible
and Church Government laid down by Sialkot Presbytery for
the elders. W e give God the glory for what has been accom­
plished during the past three years. His Kingdom is coming.
Women’s W ork.— Miss McCahon reports that she and the
Bible women have been cordially received everywhere in the city.
178
India— Sialkot.
The Bible lesson is prized by the Mohammedan women. A num­
ber of New Testaments and Scripture portions have also been
sold in the zenanas. As yet we have few Hindu homes on our
list. W e need a special worker who knows their customs and
manner of thinking. In a few cases, we have met with a peculiar
difficulty. There is an idea prevalent among the Moslems that
if a woman changes her religion it is equivalent to a divorce from
her husband, so women have come to us desiring to be made
Christians who have had no knowledge of or faith in Jesus. In­
vestigation has shown that since man’s privilege of divorce
through simply pronouncing the words “ I divorce thee” was de­
nied them, they have tried to make use of this way of ridding
themselves of undesirable husbands.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
Village Schools.— Concerning village schools, Mr. McKelvey
writes that the war has taken several of his best teachers, but
bovs are in training to take their places. Although the school
work is prospering, yet there is only one in ten of the Christian
boys and girls of school age attending anywhere. He says, “ I
should like to have twenty more schools if I had the men and
money.” One of the big problems is to get the parents to see the
need of educating their boys and girls either in the village or
boarding school. However, there is a marked increase in the
attendance o f Christian boys and girls. In one instance, twc
small girls walked with their brothers and cousins over two miles
to a village school. This is wonderful in India.
City Girls’ School.— Mrs. C. A. Stewart writes of the city
girls’ school, that there has been good work on the part of the
headmistress, who took a year recently to complete the senior
training course. Last year the teachers, with one exception, were
Christians. The Mohammedans did not like this at first, but
have later seen that the trained Christian teacher from a lower
caste is much superior to the old style untrained high caste
teacher.
Miss McCahon hopes to have a little school for women and
girls in each of the nine wards of the city where Christians live.
A description o f one such school shows their value. She says:
“ In one ward there was a school for boys and the teacher’s wife
could read a little. I engaged her at a nominal salary to teach
the women and girls what she knew o f reading, also the Apostle’s
Creed, Lord’s Prayer and Ten Commandments. It was uphill
work and the so-called school was opened and closed several
times ere it began to look like a successful undertaking, but as
a result o f this woman’s efforts six girls have entered the girls’
boarding school and four others, now married, are able to read
the Bible intelligently.”

Sialkot City High School.— The opening of a Mohammedan
high school four years ago, together with a sustained effort based
on religious prejudices to take Mohammedan boys from our
school, reduced our enrolment from seven hundred to less than
five hundred. The work in the classroom, however, as tested
by Government examinations and inspections, has been good. In
the examination for scholarships with six high schools and several
middle schools competing, our candidates secured, one out of
seven in 1916, three in 1917, and two in 1918.
Writing o f the work for 1917, Mr. Laing, the former man­
ager, says: “ The number of Christian boys attending the school
is gratifying. These come mostly from the city congregation.
One boy now in the first class o f the high department stood first
in the middle department for three years. Another, now in the
first middle class, took one of the Government scholarships. The
Christian boys are thus winning their way and earning the re­
spect o f their fellow students.” Again he writes: “ Every day the
Christian teachers meet at recess and pray for definite blessings
for the school and congregation.”
Christian Training Institute.— The triennium under review
has been one o f growth and reorganization. T o meet the various
needs of the mission and Church, the course has now been so
arranged that up to the end of the eighth grade only vernacular
•subjects are taught. For those studying further, higher classes
have been opened to give four years of work in English, fitting
our boys to enter the freshman year at college. The total enrol­
ment of Christians during the past ye^r has been nearly 300, and
of Hindu and Mohammedan pupils, 70. The highest number of
Christian boarders has been 120. A staff of 17 is employed, led
by one of our strong: Christian young men as headmaster. All
but two of the teachers are trained, certificated men. O f the
students appearing in 1916 for the departmental examination, 13
out of 15 passed, and in 1917, 15 out of 17. This year we are
sending up a class o f 23. Both last year and the year before,
normal classes have been maintained in which teachers are trained
for our village schools.
If we had a service flag it would have almost one hundred
stars. As privates, non-commissioned officers, motor car drivers,
and in the medical corps and in clerical departments, our Chris­
tian Training Institute boys have loyally served their king and
empire.
For the enlargement of the school, thirteen and one half acres
of land have been secured, and plans are now being completed
for the new buildings. This additional land will also make it
possible to give employment to the students by using much o f it
for gardening. They will thus be able to earn a much larger
part of the expense of their education and will become more in­
dependent and self-respecting.
180
India— Sialkot.
The school has an organized congregation, and one hundred
and thirty boys and young men have been received into church
membership in the three years. Groups of the boys have gone
out regularly on Sabbath afternoons, sometimes walking ten or
twelve miles, to teach in the villages of the district. In. one vil­
lage the Christian community was won back from the Roman
Catholics by the faithful teaching of these boys.
In the Evangelistic Campaign of Synod too, it was a pleasure
to lead enthusiastic groups of students to the villages nearby
and to the bazaars of the city, to preach Jesus Christ and sell
Gospels to the crowd that gathered.
Girls’ Boarding School.— Throughout the past three years,
there has been much evidence of God’s blessing on the school
work. The boarding school has been crowded each year, the
capacity having been fixed at one hundred and fifty girls. The
staff has seen few changes. Seven of the teachers are Christians
and all of these have normal training. The school has a two
years’ course of its own for normal training in the vernacular,
graduating this year seven trained teachers. In the middle de­
partment eighteen girls will appear in the final examinations in
March. The remarks made by the inspectress, after each annual
inspection, have been most encouraging. The girls have been im­
proving in general deportment. Knitting and other war work
has been done. All have given liberally and willingly to the
new church building fund, the Red Cross, Home Missions, Bel­
gium Relief, and other objects. The teachers and some of the
classes, from their o w n earnings, furnished mats and curtains
for the new church. One class of little tots undertook to pay
for the washing o f the curtains for a year.
The general health has been good, but we did not escape the
influenza scourge. O f the sixty seizures, four died and several
.have been left weak; three have developed tuberculosis.

In 1916 Dr. Maria White completed thirty years of service
In Sialkot Memorial Hospital. The work was handed over to
Dr. Wilhelmina J. Jongewaard when Dr. White went on furlough
at the beginning of 1917. The staff has been kept up to the
standard, but a very great need is felt for a good superintendent
of nurses. Our nurses’ certificates are not recognized by the
Government because we have no such superintendent.
Mrs.
James has had charge of the Bible work in the dispensary and
inside the hospital, while Mrs. Albert has endeavored to follow
up the work by visiting the patients in their homes in the city.
The opportunity for evangelistic work is boundless in a mission
hospital. Patients, almost without exception, will listen to what
is said. W e often relieve both mental and physical suffering.
This increases faith in the missionaries and mission work. W e

pray that this service may eventually lead to faith in the mission­
aries’ God and Saviour. Many calls in the city and vicinity have
been answered by the doctor, as she has had opportunity, in ad­
dition to the multitude of daily duties in the institution. Besides,
she has been called to go anywhere and everywhere all over the
mission, for you will remember that for two years we have had
but one foreign doctor to take care of the four hospitals and
seven dispensaries, the four girls’ schools and the missionaries
in a dozen stations. O f course, she could not do it all. T o do
the work properly we need trained nurses from home and also
more doctors. There are times when even our missionaries,
though dangerously ill, must be neglected on account of our lack
of physicians and nurses.
During the camping season the district missionaries treat
many .more patients than the average practitioner at home. The
need of the poor women and babies is too great to pass by with­
out an effort to help them with the few simple remedies a lay
doctor does not fear to use. Mrs. McKelvey writes from Sialkot
district: “ The dispensary tent is a busy place in our camp. W e
amateurs feel that aside from the relieving of physical suffer­
ing, the justification foi our attempting to give medicines is that
it is a means to an end. This service brings many to hear of
Jesus. Not one drop of medicine is given, not one eye treated,
not one ear syringed, not one sore cleansed, without the way of
salvation for sinners being pointed out.”

Zafarwal, which means the place of victory, is the head­
quarters of the present mission district of that name, with an
area of 588 square miles and a population of 271,000. A little
more than half of the people are followers of Mohammed, and
most of the remainder are Hindus or Sikhs, while the baptized
Christian community numbers over 4000 or about \J
/2 per cent,
of the whole. The name of Zafarwal appeared often in the ac­
counts of the mission’s early days, for near Zafarwal, in the
fourth year of the mission’s history, began a remarkable move­
ment among the people of the weaver community, the full story
of which forms one of the most interesting and important parts
of Dr. Andrew. Gordon’s book, “ Our India Mission.” This move­
ment began in 1859 and brought into the Church a number of
persons whose lives and influence have been an important fac­
tor in the development of the Indian Church. Zafarwal was not
provided with a house for seventeen years after the movement
referred to began, and did not rank as a regular station till 1882.
182
I ndia— Z afarwal.
One of the descendants o f this community is at present
Synod’s home missionary at Hafizabad, and of three who have
graduated from Gordon College, one is pastor of Lyallpur con­
gregation, another professor of philosophy in Gordon College
and the third headmaster of the mission school in Jhelum. An­
other was made chaplain of the Indian troops in Mesopotamia
during the war and died there after serving less than a year. In
nearly all the districts o f our mission are men and women from
this community engaged in mission work. A striking figure from
another community in Zafarwal is the Rev. I. D. Shabbaz, who
has done excellent work in preparing successive editions of the
Psalms in meter in both Urdu and Punjabi.
Several revered names are connected with the past history
of this station. Dr. J. S. Barr and Dr. Samuel Martin were
the pioneers, and they were followed by Dr. W . T. Anderson
and Rev. Robert Reed McClure. The names of Miss Kate M.
Corbett and Miss Susie A. Young also will always be remembered
among those who have had a part in the work for women.
The war and its outcome are bound to have a far reaching
effect on our work in the years to come. From its inauguration
in 1914 till the end of the last German offensive, there was a
great deal o f conjecturing among the villagers as to how it would
end. O f our Christian young men about seventy-five joined the
army, but the absurd and viciously invented rumors that were
rife were of the most unsettling nature. One encountered them in
almost every village, and would be closely questioned as to the
progress of events. Allied reverses were often exaggerated into
defeats and routs. When victory came, there was the same disin­
clination to accept the truth. Some even yet aver that the report of
the defeat o f Germany is forged. The appalling ignorance of the
people wholly unfits them to comprehend the facts of the past four
years and to appreciate the meaning of victory. Prices have been
abnormal throughout the war and have not yet subsided. Owing
to the failure of the rains, famine threatens to a greater or less de­
gree. The influenza epidemic swept the villages with great vio­
lence and in some places ten per cent, of the people died. The gen­
eral offerings of the Christians have greatly fallen off owing to
the hard times, but the women’s thank-offerings the last two years
have exceeded those of previous years.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
Our time throughout the triennium as in previous years has
been given chiefly to the Christian community. Almost the only
direct work done for the non-Christians has been that of the
Evangelistic Campaign weeks o f the last two years. During the
campaign we have gone exclusively to Mohammedans and Hindus
in centers out of the course of our usual itinerary journeys. One
thing worthy of mention is the spirit in which the workers have

183
engaged in these campaigns. They went out daily to speak of
Christ to the non-Christians. They had not previously been very
eager to do this sort of witnessing, and it has been a source of
blessing and strength to them.
O f course, in going among the Christians we are often
brought into contact with non-Christians in the places where the
Christians live, and many such occasions have been improved to
speak of Christ’s Kingdom and His claims. Much of the old
bigotry that hindered the gospel in the early days has disappeared,
but there is an equally great difficulty to be met in the unspiritual
state of the people, their lack of any great desire for soul rest or
purity #of heart, and their satisfaction with themselves and their
old faiths. Only the operation of the Spirit of God can awaken
them to a proper realization of their hopelessness. While they
generally admit that they have little hope, yet the admission
seems merely a mental one. W e have been impressed much of
late by a few marked instances of the unapproachableness of the
Hindu mind in its complacency and self-congratulation on hav­
ing the right view of deity, soul and matter. One feels that in
talking to a Mohammedan he has a common starting-point at
least. The great problem in talking with the Hindu is to find any
basis for a beginning. He often denies the sinfulness of sin,
the unity of God, the immortality of spirit and personality, and
the future existence. Only the power of God will produce re­
sults with either class. This is the greatest need we have and
only through intercession shall we succeed.
The multiplicity and variety of duties that daily meet us
almost forbid the engagement in this work for non-Christians
as our hearts desire. The securing of workers of high spiritual­
ity is of the greatest importance in its accomplishment. Till we
have them, we who are so few must divide ourselves around as
best we may and allow much to go undone that our hearts yearn
tc. see accomplished. Zafarwal will never be properly manned
with missionaries till it has at least three more ordained men
and six more women.
No marked progress can be reported in organized Christian
work except the steps toward preparing a new eldership. Owing
to the lack o f men ready to take up the pastorate, no new settle­
ments could be effected. W e have undertaken, however, to train
men to assume the responsibilities o f ruling elders. For this we
have attempted to have the people select young men of some edu­
cation who have hitherto shown keenness in learning the Bible.
Quite a number are now pursuing Presbytery’s four years’ course
in Bible knowledge. This seems the right basis on which to be­
gin congregational work. To this foundation can more easily
be added later the pastoral relation when the men are forthcom­
ing. The pastoral office calls loudly for men of deep consecration

who are ready to endure hardship and privation for the sake o f
the infant church.
Women’s W ork.— Mention should be made of the acceptable
work being done by the two Bible women in and around the city
of Zafarwal. They go principally to non-Christian homes and
teach the Bible to over a hundred of the women regularly. In
addition to this the ladies o f the station go to homes in villages
near to Zafarwal during the hot weather.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
One of the greatest hindrances to the progress of the Chris­
tian community is the unwillingness of the people to educate
their children. This is especially marked with regard to the girls
of the family. There are striking exceptions, however, like the
following. A certain family had sent two of their girls to one
o f our boarding schools, but both of them died before complet­
ing the primary course. Nothing deterred, the parents later sent
their remaining two daughters to the same school, though we
might have expected them to have attributed theif loss to the
adoption o f a new precedent in educating their girls, as no one
in their village, Christian or non-Christian, had ever sent a daugh­
ter to school. One of the remaining two died in the school dur­
ing the influenza epidemic. When we carried this heavy news
to the parents, and her grandmother began the customary wail,
the girl’s father said, “ Hush, God has taken our little one. Is
He less able to care for her than we ?”
The number of boys’ schools in the district is twenty. There
is also one girls’ school. The total enrolment is 621, of whom
30 are girls, 269 of the pupils Christian. Zafarwal district leads
the mission in the number o f boys attending the Christian Train­
ing Institute. This is especially creditable, showing sustained
effort in getting boys pushed through into the middle course.
Another Zafarwal boy has entered college and feels called to
enter the ministry. Several others are about ready to enter the
high school. O f the twenty-one teachers in this district, sixteen
are Christians, leaving only five non-Christian teachers in mis­
sion employ.

Padri Yusaf is in charge of the Mianwali work, which is
indeed a labor of faith in one of the hardest parts of India. H e
comes from the despised outcastes, but has proved to be a man
of character and power. He went into this city as almost the
only Christian, but has now gathered around himself a little
church o f sixty-six members, mostly converts from the humble

ever, for he has sold gospels, has preached and taught in the
city and in the district, and has been faithful in personal work,
presenting the plan of salvation to large numbers of Hindus and
Mohammedans.
A notable convert from among these has just been baptized
in Rawal Pindi. He comes from a well connected, wealthy
family, but counted these things well lost that he might win
Christ. While in Rawal Pindi he heard that his wife was will­
ing to join him but was being prevented by force, so Mr. Hein­
rich and Miss F. C. Martin decided to visit the village with him
and see what could be done. It was like the return of the Prodi­
gal Son. Everybody in the village embraced and welcomed him.
Then the relatives began to come, among them his old mother
with his little four-year-old son. The missionaries had brought
a picnic lunch, and he sat down and ate with them in the pres­
ence o f his caste friends. The party had been guaranteed pro­
tection and a body of Pathans escorted them constantly. When
they spoke to the father about the wife going with her husband,
he assured them that he would cut her head off rather than allow
her to do so. He said, “ You people are worse than the Germans.
They only cut our heads off, but you cut our hearts out.” Final­
ly the convert gathered up his little son and announced his in­
tention of taking him with him. This was clearly his right by
civil law, but precipitated an assault, and for five minutes there
was a lively scrimmage. The old grandmother and the mother
were both so distressed that the missionaries persuaded him to
leave the child with his people for the present. O these terrible
family separations!
The Government has rewarded Padri Yusaf for his assis­
tance in recruiting by a gift o f four squares of land, 112 acres.
As in Old Testament times temporal prosperity was a sign of
God’s blessing, so has He rewarded this faithful and obedient
servant.
A second home mission field has been opened in Hafizabad
with Padri Ganda Mai, one of the sons of Kanaya, whose in­
teresting story is found in “ Our India Mission,” in charge. He
is living in the city with Hindu neighbors on every side, and most
friendly relations are maintained. He carries on regular preach­
ing work in the city and surrounding villages and does personal
work as opportunity offers. Last year there were 43 baptisms;
of these 24 were adults and 19 children. He sold 11 New Testa­
ments, 579 Scripture portions, 300 religious books and 2000 pic­
ture Bible stories.
All around, the horizons are widening and the educated mem­
bers of the Indian Church are becoming more and more inter­
ested in establishing independent missionary work. Pray for
these Indian comrades stationed in hard places. Ask that they

may be filled with abounding hope by the power of the Holy
Ghost, and comforted in loneliness by the presence of the Lord.
T H E E V A N G E L IS T IC CAM PAIGN.
There is perhaps no more promising movement for the evan­
gelization of India than the Church’s evangelistic campaign that
is sweeping from one end o f the land to the other. Our Synod’s
first campaign was launched in 1916 and carried out in the win­
ter and spring of 1917. There was a little opposition in the
Synod to taking up this movement on the ground that men avail­
able for leadership were working to full strength and capacity
in their regular work. By far the larger number, however, felt
that the campaign should be undertaken. Tamil David, who had
spoken with power at the Sialkot Convention, was procured as
evangelist. Emphasis was laid on prayer and preparation. Meet­
ings were held in all the principal centers with results depend­
ing largely upon the extent of preparation and expectation. Lyallpur City and Gujranwala City especially were stirred up and in
the joy of service there was a foretaste of what was to come.
On the last day in the Gujranwala campaign every one was en­
listed and the church was advancing with a united front.
The 1917 Synod was enthusiastic over the work done and
the new committee was able to profit and build upon the experi­
ence of the previous year. Emphasis was again laid on prayer
meetings and Bible study. Each presbytery was given large free­
dom in carrying out the general plan of the campaign, but Synod’s
committee urged that workers be not called from one field to
another, but that each district use the forces available at home.
There was a marked growth in both the strength and influence
o f the work. In Gurdaspur the workers estimated that they
preached to over 13,000 people. Sixteen hundred Scripture por­
tions and New Testaments were sold. The note of joy and con­
fidence was again strongly pronounced.
In Rawal Pindi still
larger numbers of people heard the gospel and 1150 Gospel por­
tions and New Testaments were sold. On the last day of the
special week a procession was arranged through the bazaar with
music and banners and preaching and book selling. About sev­
enty men took part. Almost the same number were in the bazaar
helping every day during the week. Gujranwala, Jhelum, Zafarwal, Khangah Dogran, Sialkot, Pasrur and Lyallpur also re­
ported enthusiastic efforts and copious sowing.
The ideal set forward for the 1919 campaign is every Chris­
tian taking some part in work for non-Christians. Conferences
are being held for encouraging and training workers. As a re­
sult of the volunteer effort being put forth inquirers are com­
ing in encouraging numbers. The sale of Scriptures has in many
places doubled and the morale of the Church is improving. The
non-Christian strongholds in North India will never be able to
stand against a confident, trusting, advancing Church.
India— Sialkot Convention.
187
T H E S IA L K O T C O N V E N T IO N S O F 1916, 1917, 1918.
A convention has been held each year of the past three in
the closing days of the month of September, each continuing for
seven days. They have been times of real spiritual refreshment,
and many souls have been blessed by attending them. As one
looks back there were no special outstanding characteristics to
distinguish them from one another, yet each was unique in its
way, and brought its own peculiar blessing. O f the first, Rev.
B. B. Roy, o f the Saharanpur Seminary, was chairman; of the
next, Dr. Rockwell Clancy, of the Methodist Mission, and of
the last, Rev. A. G. McGaw, Presbyterian missionary of Etah.
Each presided with special fitness. In the first convention under
review the subject was “ The Kingdom and the Coming of the
King;” in the 1917 Convention the subject was, “ The Holy Spirit
and Service,” and in 1918 the subject was again, “ The Second
Coming of Christ.”
The English meetings have always been among the most
important ones of the convention. Rev. Stanley Jones took a
good part of these meetings in the last two conventions and
brought real living messages of great power on our obligation to
Christ to live the Spirit-filled and Spirit-guided life; the life of
victory and personal work. Tamil David spoke with great per­
suasiveness to the English-speaking Indians of his audience. The
sectional meetings too were times of great heart searching. The
prayer-rooms for men and women were open night and day and
many knelt together long into the night in intercession. These
things marked all three of the conventions.
Nearly every convention of the last few years has experi­
enced some interruption through the fall of rain. This last year
again on the Sabbath that came before the closing day, just at
the time of the morning Bible study, a heavy storm of rain burst
in torrents on the thin canvas roof protecting about six hundred
worshippers. Soon the cloth at the peak was rent by the wind,
and water began to fall inside. But the audience rose to its feet
and sang Psalms of praise with a volume that well-nigh drowned
the peals o f thunder, and the harder the rain beat above their
heads, the louder rose the songs of praise. At last praise was
triumphant, the clouds passed over, and a gracious time of wait­
ing on God ensued. “ I will triumph in Thy praise.”
T o sum up briefly what these last three conventions have
meant to the Church in India, for their influence now extends
far beyond the bounds of our own particular field, we may say
they have greatly quickened the faith of God’s people, clarified
their vision, brightened their hope, inspired them with new love
to Jesus Christ, shown them the more excellent way of service
by love, unified and united His disciples who before were strang­
ers to one another, increased their prayerfulness, made their sal­
vation more real, and taught them to long for souls.
188
India— Tamil David.
T A M IL D A V ID IN T H E PUNJAB.
W e first made the acquaintance o f Tamil David at the time
of the Sialkot Convention of 1916, where God through His prov­
idence brought him and used him for His own glory among His
people who gathered from all parts of the Punjab. He was
there with us only seven days, but he left such a deep impression
upon the minds o f the people that many longed to see him work
in their midst for a longer period. God granted the silent wishes
and prayers of His people and brought him back two months and
a half later, when he worked for about two months in the differ­
ent parts of the Synod.
Tamil David is a devout student o f the word of God, large
portions of which he knows by heart. He preaches only the
pure truths of the Bible and quotes verses with surprising ac­
curacy. He once said to me, “ The Christians ought to know
their Bible by heart and meditate over what they have read.”
His life is prayerful. He communes much with God, much of
his time while in private being spent on his knees. Once while
traveling to Sargodha, he and I were alone in the compartment.
He at once knelt and prayed and three stations passed while he
was in the same attitude. The noise o f the people at the sta­
tions and the mmbling o f the train never seemed to disturb him.
I never found him engaged in vain talk.
Although sixty-five years of age he is a tireless worker.
During his two months’ stay in the Punjab his average amount
of preaching was five hours a day, and with all that he showed
no signs o f exhaustion.
His doctrines are sound, accurate, helpful, and based on
the truths embodied in the Bible. He is very hard upon sec­
tarians and those who emphasize only one phase of Scripture
teaching and neglect others that are related to it. His talks were
very clear though they were sometimes on deep and difficult
themes. The subjects of his talks were usually such funda­
mental ones as Sin, Sinners, the Saviour, Christ, Prayer, The
Holy Spirit, Heaven and Hell. He brought home to people their
special sins and never beat about the bush.
His speeches before non-Christians were very powerful He
showed them that their religious teachers were not saviours, be­
cause they, unlike Christ, are not sinless, are not ever-living, are
not God and man, have not died for sinners, and do not invite
sinners to trust in them for salvation. Not a voice was raised in
opposition to what he said regarding Christ’s supreme claims.
Many stood up openly to get forgiveness through Christ, and
tnany others who had not the courage to stand up were convicted
of their sins and seemed to long for such a Saviour. A nonChristian said to me, “ There is something supernatural in Tamil
David which goads him on to preach so effectively.” No lawyer,
doctor or teacher, and no high Hindu or Mohammedan official

had the courage to speak against what he preached because he
preached nothing but the truth.
Not only is he is good preacher, but he is an excellent teacher
as well. He led preachers’, teachers’ and evangelists’ meetings
at different places and showed how to study God’s word and
present it to Christians and non-Christians with good results.
May the Lord raise up many more such as Tamil David for
the praise of the glory of His grace in the Punjab.
O U R PUN JABI C H R IST IA N SOLDIERS.
These are crucial days in the life of nations. No tribe is
too remote, no heart too sluggish to quicken to the impulses and
higher aspirations for which men died in this war. To the Pun­
jabi Christian the war meant another opportunity for racial and
social advancement, and it has been seized with success beyond
the expectations of their fondest well-wishers. Only the added
impulse of a great religious awakening could possibly account
for the fact that one of the lowest castes of India, which previous
to this world war was barred from the army, should rise in so
short a time to second and third place in proportionate enlist­
ment in districts like Gujranwala, Sialkot and Gurdaspur. A
generation ago it would have been incredible and impossible.
Our Christians being peaceful tillers o f the soil hesitated
at first to enter this open door, but once a start was made, en­
listing became popular, and almost 6000 were under arms, be­
sides the many who enlisted as transport drivers, hospital assist­
ants, laborers and clerks. The Young Men’s Christian Associa­
tion and Chaplaincy services attracted some of the finest Chris­
tian manhood of India, and as a result the returned non-Chris­
tian soldier is today the most inviting field in all India for evan­
gelistic effort. Such a Christian hero and crusader was Rev.
James Ganda Mall, beloved of foreigner and Punjabi, who made
the supreme sacrifice while serving as Chaplain in Mesopotamia.
Our Punjabi Christians while low in the Hindu social scale
are nevertheless hardy sons of toil, inured to hardship, and of
good physique. Nor are the non-Christian branches of this
caste without military traditions. The Mazhabi Sikh, of Chuhra
extraction, has fought with distinction in many wars for king
and country. O f the 71st Punjabi Regiment the general of the
Southern Army made this comment, “ Most satisfactory unit as
far as training is concerned, men a good sturdy lot, of a good
class.” Although the war ended before the Christian regiment,
the 71st Punjabis, reached the front as a unit, yet about a thou­
sand Christians actually were sent to Mesopotamia in various
units. One hundred Punjabi Christian hospital bearers were
with Allenby in the great crusade, and were considered by the
officers the best hospital unit in the army. One colonel of long
experience with the non-Christians was amazed at the truthful­

ness of our men. Another crusty old colonel could not stand a
Christian boy as orderly because he was so meek and obedient.
He returned him to the ranks, but afterwards secured him a
commission.
Although of many denominations, the Christians were “ Iron­
sides,” roaring Psalm singers. On an all day parade in South
India when asked to sing, they struck up with hearty cheer,
“ Christ is the King of Glory.” Other Psalms followed. Well
pleased, their reviewing general called a subordinate and asked
what these songs were. “ Psalms of David, sir,” replied the cap­
tain. “ No, but these martial songs?” said the general. Again
the same reply was given, but the fact was too much for the
general’s comprehension, and is doubtless to this day discredited
by him. When called upon by officers in South India to sing the
songs of the Punjab, the boys sang the 24th Psalm. “ But,” said
the officers, “ we want your national songs.” The boys gave them
Psalm 122. Again the officers insisted on their national airs.
“ But, sir,” respectfully replied the United Presbyterian sepoy,
“ these are our national songs.”
The prowess of the boys in athletic events came as a sur­
prise even to the missionaries.
In the Gujranwala camp the
Christians would take everything until they were regularly hand­
icapped when competing wTith the non-Christians in athletic events.
Among the officers are Joseph Shahbaz Khan, a worthy son of
our poet translator, and Khazan Singh, a converted Sikh and
son in the faith of the late W . E. Nicoll.
The changed aspect of our boys after receiving the army
training and diet is revealing the unsuspected wealth lying unde ­
veloped in these mud houses of the lowly.
Again the outcaste has made good at a man’s job and re­
assures us all that sooner or later a Joshua will arise and lead
him out of the wilderness into the “ promised land.”

Sudan — Introduction.
197
INTRODUCTION.
The years covered by this report have been full of stirring
events elsewhere, but in the Sudan there has been peace and
quiet, and all of our work has proceeded without interruption,
and often with the marked approval and blessing of the Father.
During the beginning years there have always been friends
standing by with their sympathy and prayers and contributions.
We are grateful for these. The former years were necessarily
taken up with explorations, plans for occupation, and the work­
ing out and testing of these plans.
The reconstruction of a country that had been reduced to
chaos, has been a slow, gradual development. Even after twenty
years no one can form a reliable forecast of the shifting of cen­
ters of population and trade, which must be met by missionary
operations. Sometimes these changes bring new opportunity and
often the upsetting of previous policy.
It is worth while to note that the financial prosperity of the
country has been remarkable and has been a surprise even to those
who were most optimistic. From beginnings not worth mention­
ing, the foreign trade this year (1918) has amounted to about
$40,500,000, very nearly equally divided between imports and
exports. Railways have been extended and other means of trans­
portation and communication increased. A great scheme for irri­
gation has been pushed forward in spite of war conditions, and
commercial and trade activities have been put on a real instead of
a fictitious basis. All these things have helped to hasten the de­
velopment of the country and to produce a state of prosperity
never before realized in the Sudan.
And it all affects the work o f missions very greatly. Wages
have doubled, and salaries have increased from forty to sixty
per cent, and prices to several times what they were before the
war.

Sudan — Introduction.
But in all these years o f change a few things have become
plain. First of all, that the mission has been gaining a place in
the respect and sympathy of those with whom we have had to
deal. This is partly due to the position our nation has taken
among the other nations and the admiration felt for some of
our statesmen, and partly to the missionaries who have been win­
ning for themselves the confidence of the people and their rulers.
A high official speaking of one of our missionaries said, “ He is
the most Christ-like man in dealing with the people that I ever
knew.”
Through all the changes in condition and in the personnel
of the mission force, the field has grown ever wider to our vision
and the need greater. The lack of forces is the recurring note
in this report. This is not a complaint, but a simple statement of
fact. There is opportunity which we have not been able to meet.
Again it is most apparent that there is a growing spirit of
co-operation with the other evangelical agencies at work in the
Sudan, the Church Missionary Society and the Sudan United
Mission. There is such close fellowship and co-operation that
there is no overlapping or duplicating of work in any part of
the field.
A deep regret is that we have received so little consideration
from the Synod of the Nile. W e had hoped that the pastors
and people o f the Evangelical Church of Egypt might get such
a vision of their opportunity as would lead them to take a large
part in the work of evangelizing the Sudan.

DOLEIB HILL.
Equipment—T w o residences for missionaries.
The period covered by this report has been one of unusual
unrest and excitement at Doleib Hill. There have been tribal
feuds and strife and quarreling.
The staff of workers, too, for much of the time, has been
too small to cope with all of the problems and difficulties that
have come up for solution.
E V A N G E L IS TIC .
The feud among four of the neighboring villages has had a
great influence on the work of the mission. Starting from a
trivial cause— the possession of a cow— it grew until the men
were afraid to leave their villages, and resulted in the death of
several and the wounding of many. The men of the different
factions were supposed to kill each other on sight, and so they
were afraid to come to the mission, and for some time the audi­
ences were composed of women and children. The Shulla’s war
code prevents his fighting against women and children.
Three villages were ranged against one, but now one of the
villages is trying to withdraw from the quarrel and apparently
succeeding. The men from that village and the men from the
smaller faction are now able to come to church, so the attendance
is increasing again. During the feud the missionaries found op­
portunity to show the spirit of Christ in ministering to the
wounded and those in distress. Village preaching was made
more imperative by the people being kept away from the mis­
sion, and many heard the word in their villages who might other­
wise never have come within reach.
Another event of interest was the building of the new church.
It was first used in September, 1918. In building it native ma­
terial was used as largely as possible, and Mr. Guthrie, who had
charge of the building operations, has succeeded in putting up at
a very reasonable cost a commodious church building well adapt­
ed to the needs of the station.
The average attendance at the church has been 46; at Failo,
153; at Ofado, 28, showing that the attendance in some villages
is larger than at the church. The size of the audiences addressed
each Sabbath has steadily increased, and the number of baptized
converts has increased from one to three. More people are seek­
ing instruction than at the beginning of the period.
A Sabbath school has been started and is now doing well.
The average attendance for the year was fourteen, eight boys
and six girls. During the first year those who attended regularly
numbered six, but this year (1918) they numbered ten, and each
one of these was willing to lead in prayer. Greater interest was

shown after the school was divided into two classes. The first
convert took charge of the older pupils.
A few of the people seem to be breaking away from their
old customs. One young man who has worked at the mission
was seriously ill. His father desired to consult a witch-doctor,
but the young man objected and none was consulted. When the
young man recovered the witch-doctor asked him for a cloth and
he asked why it should be given. The witch-doctor intimated
that his power had effected the cure. The boy became angry and
wanted to know if it was also his power that had caused the
sickness. For a few moments the witch-doctor was afraid that
his head might come into violent contact with a club and threw
himself on the ground and begged for mercy. At another time
while the people were preparing for battle five young men with­
stood these medicine men.
Another indication of progress is found in the reception
accorded the missionaries when the}^ go to the villages.
The new king of the Shullas has visited the mission, and
he seems to be friendly. W e hope that his influence may have a
good effect on the mission work. He has increased the punish­
ment for certain offenses, which is a step in the right direction.
W e are praying for the time when the whole tribe will turn
to the Lord. The^few who have come out from among the people
are urging their friends to come to Christ.
E D U C A T IO N A L .
School work has been most difficult to establish in the south
for various reasons, chief of which is the lack of interest on the
part of the people. This seems to be due to the depths of their
ignorance and the untutored condition of the whole race. There
is no object lesson from among their own people to which appeal
can be made and the lack of trained helpers from among them
we all deplore.
Mr. Oyler reports: “ The school work carried on heretofore
has been for the first convert, Nyidok. He is now able to read a
little, but he cannot be said to be fluent. He knows enough,
however, to be able to help a little in teaching the children. This
year we have been giving lessons to the children living on the
compound and Nyidok has assisted us in this work. The regular
lesson period is in the afternoon, and the place of meeting is in
the quarter occupied by the workmen. W e have no school room,
but meet in the open. W e are always ready to teach the people
who work on the place, but insist that they attend regularly and
show some aptitude for acquiring knowledge. Four from among
the laborers have taken lessons during the year.
“ The children from the villages are not usually willing to
attend, except when they are working at the mission. This year,
however, three boys came in from one village. One attended a

few days only, and then returned home to come no more. An­
other said he wanted to be taught, but that he was required to
herd the cattle four days, and then had four days free from
work, and
proposed to come on his free days. He has been
coming regularly ever since, and has been making good progress
in spite of the fact that he can only attend half the time. The
third boy has been attending regularly and making marked prog­
ress. Oneor two who have been at the Hill for medical treat­
ment have
attended, but very irregularly. The average daily
attendance has been about six.
“ The Shullas as a rule do not seem to care for education.
They say that it is not a thing of their ancestors, or in other
words it is a thing unknown to the tribe, and, therefore, why
should they bother about it. They have shown more interest this
year than I have ever known before. W e trust that it may be a
foretaste of a deeper interest in the years to come.”
M E D IC A L .
The Medical work at Doleib Hill is in an encouraging con­
dition. At the beginning of this period Dr. C. E. Wilkerson came
newr to the work and for some months was the only missionary
at the station. There were two Christians at the station and
Abbas, the only one with whom Dr. Wilkerson was able to com­
municate in a common language, ended his life in a very tragic
way. Abbas wras a Fur boy who had been converted in the early
days o f the mission. A very pathetic letter written just before
he took his life revealed the fact that his mind was unbalanced,
and that even while he was contemplating the deed, he was hold­
ing on to his faith in Christ.
Abbas’, father and mother had been killed during the last
days of the Mahdi’s reign at Khartum, his little sister had been
lost, and his brother taken by their former master. Abbas was
found by the missionaries attempting to make a living along
with two other boys, and became a servant. He had a bright
mind and learned rapidly. He redeemed his brother from slavery
by the payment of one hundred dollars of his hard earned money.
He learned to speak English and the language of the Shullas and
married a Shulla girl. During Abbas’ life his wife evinced no
interest in his newly found Saviour, but since his death she has
become a good Christian woman and their children have been
baptized.
The death of Abbas was a' blow to Dr. Wilkerson, as it was
to all o f us, and it left him alone and very lonely for a time. His
health failed and he was compelled to return to America in 1917.
The attendance at clinic had been fifty to seventy-five daily. A
native whom he had trained was able to do some work under the
supervision o f the missionary, but the medical work was without
a physician until the arrival early in 1918 of Dr. P. E. Gilmor.
Sudan— Doleib Hill.
203
When the news of Dr. Gilmor’s arrival spread among the vil­
lages, many sick people were brought to the clinic for help and
the people continued to come until the rains started.
Most o f the patients who come have been treated by the
witch-doctors, and the treatment has been a failure. One native
said that he did not think that a single patient came to the mis­
sion doctor without first going to the witch-doctor, except the few
who live on the place and those who meet with accidents. While
the witch-doctors are working, the case is gradually getting
worse, and by the time the patient is brought to the mission he
is usually in a serious condition.
Dr. Gilmor has given me the following report of his work
since his arrival at the beginning of 1918:
“ The medical work here at Doleib Hill covers a variety of
cases and yet a close similarity is presented in a great part of
them.
“ Acute cases and many of the worst ones are neglected until
they become chronic or too weak to be taken to the clinic by
friends, with the result that with the exception of patients from
the two neighboring villages who are seen in their homes or are
brought by friends, most of the cases are chronic, and few op­
erating cases are seen, and those are mostly infected wounds.
A few cases are seen of the minor, general surgery type. The
people have not yet come to realize their need of early and regu­
lar treatment and are not vet really acquainted in person with
the physician. Their confidence will probably increase when the
same physician has been present for a considerable length of
time and when they come to realize more fully their need of both
spiritual and physical treatment other than superstitious practices
o f medicine men and witch-doctors.
“ About ten thousand treatments have been given during the
year to five hundred patients. Some came from a distance, from
neighboring provinces and from other tribes than Shullas, such
as Nuers, and Dinkas, and others were passing Arab traders and
sailors.
“ These are all accustomed to using superstitious methods
o f healing and have many other odd methods which are not en­
tirely superstitious. One day while passing through one part
o f a village on my way to see a patient, we found that one of
o u r patients who had been coming to the dispensary for eye treat­
ment was giving himself some personal care. He had taken some
fo o d something like pancake batter, and had pasted it all over
his face and head. This he said he had done to make his eyes
better, although their trouble was that too much dirt had gotten
in to them and they had been badly infected. They were not im­
proved by his treatment. He was a peculiar sight, and probably
could have frightened away many evil eyes that perchance wished
t o attack him. H e has since given all of his physical woes to
204

better medical treatment, and all of his family early came for
treatment, even for small ailments.
“ However, they are not all so willing to heed advice given.
A mother brought her daughter to the clinic one day because of
badly swollen legs and abdomen. The child was probably nine
or ten years old, and as is so often the case, did not obey very
well. As it was a bad case of heart trouble she was told that
she must remain in the hut all day and not even walk about. The
mother stayed with her. She was instructed about the medicine
and was supervised by a trusted mission servant. She was per­
fectly willing to have medicine, but could not be gotten to give
it regularly, nor to take any real care otherwise. After several
days of urging, of instruction, and of watching almost to com­
pel the patient to obey, and the mother to care for her, the latter
decided that it was too much trouble, so she took her child home
where she lived for only a few weeks. The parent could not
understand that anything was neccessary aside from medicine,
and that anything as difficult to follow as the instructions given
was worth the necessary trouble.
“ The only thing that will overcome this attitude of mother
and child toward each other and toward other people is Chris­
tianity.”
While Dr. Gilmor has been on his vacation some work has
been done, as his clinic helper, under the supervision of the other
missionaries, is able 'to do considerable to relieve suffering.
W e believe that the prospects for medical work among the
Shullas are very bright indeed. The people are coming in greater
numbers than ever before and in the villages one is asked to treat
their sick.
KHARTUM.
Equipment— Missionary residences; Khartum North; boys’ home;
girls’ boarding school; boys’ school; Omdurman; primary school;
Atbara; school building.
The Khartum station covers all of the work at the three
chief towns— Khartum, Khartum North and Omdurman— and
carries with it the supervision of all work in the North Sudan
from Haifa to a rather indefinite line two hundred miles or more
south of Khartum and east up to the Abyssinian border. In
other words, it covers all the Mohammedan population of North
Sudan and is nearly eight hundred miles long from north to
south.
In this territory the Church Missionary Society has work in
girls’ schools only at Atbara, Khartum, Omdurman and W ad
Medani. They have also a hospital at Omdurman, which has
been closed for two years, as the physician in charge has been
in Palestine in connection with the Red Cross. It will no doubt

be reopened in the near future. All of the evangelistic work in
this vast region and all school work for boys has been left to
our mission, as also much of the work for women.
The district has two girls’ schools, one at Haifa and one at
Khartum North, and four boys’ schools at Atbara, Khartum,
Khartum North and Omdurman. At Khartum the school is
conducted in conjunction with the Boys’ Home.
W e have a fine property for medical work in Khartum
North, four well built rooms and some out buildings, but it has
been closed since 1913, as we have had no physician to take
charge. The rooms that have been built are part of a well planned
hospital. Both the need and opportunity are great and we long
and pray for some one to take up that work.
In view of what we have said of the field, we need hardly
add that the staff of two ordained missionaries and their wives
and two unmarried women has been unable to meet all of the
requirements of the work, and that there are vast areas untouched.
E V A N G E L ISTIC .
Two licensed evangelists supported by the congregations
which they serve and the Synod of the Nile have been in the
field during all of this period. There were three during 1918.
Besides these, during 1917 there were two evangelists employed
by the mission and supported from a special fund, and during
1918 there wrere three, and for a part of the time four.
O f the two hundred and twenty-seven members of the
Church in the Sudan reported all but three are in this district.
A very large proportion of those attending church services have
been Egyptians, most of whom had some connection with the
Evangelical Church in Egypt, and are in the Sudan only tempor­
arily, but we have had two adult baptisms. In Atbara, Khartum,
Khartum North and Omdurman a large number of Mohammedan
pupils from the schools attend the church services.
In 1918 preaching services were conducted in .the school
chapel at Khartum each Sabbath morning and each Tuesday
evening. During the summer vacation the attendance at these
services was not large, but since the opening of the school this
fall, the average attendance at the Sabbath morning service, in­
cluding thirty Mohammedans from the Boys’ Home, has been
one hundred and thirty-two. The offerings gathered in the Sab­
bath morning service during the year amounted to about $100.
One girl from the school united with the church.
Khartum is the only organized congregation in the Sudan
and also has the distinction of being financially self-supporting.
The preaching by a young man from Egypt, Azeez Tawdros, has
been unusually good and very regularly kept up. He has also
been faithful in his other congregational duties and his services
deserved better results than were apparent. The congregation at
206
Sudan— Khartum.
Khartum has become quarrelsome and that offsets the efforts
of the best of preachers. They are abundantly able to support
a pastor, but are not able to agree as to who "it shall be. God
surely has a great work for this congregation to do, and will
create within them a new spirit.
At Khartum North there has been no special worker, and
the preaching services have been conducted by missionaries and
teachers of the schools, but the most important part of the work,
the personal work, has been neglected. From thirty to fifty pupils
of the Girls’ Boarding School attend these services, and of those
received into the Church on profession of their faith, four have
been pupils of the Girls’ Boarding School. One of these was
formerly a Moslem girl. Quite a number of Moslem Sudanese
women attend the church services. Khartum North seems to be
approaching the stage for organization.
From Omdurman Mr. Sowash reports: “ Never has the Gos­
pel been more faithfully proclaimed in Omdurman than during
the past three years. During the first of these the services were
largely conducted by Abadir Effendi Ibrahim, a theological grad­
uate and a man of blameless life and deep piety who did what
he could to present the gospel to all classes. Following him came
Tubia Effendi Abd el-Masih, which being interpreted means
‘Blessing, the Bond Servant of Christ.’ Tubia was born in Egypt,
but his parents had been Sudanese slaves. He was educated
through the kindness of a devout old elder in the Egyptian Evan­
gelical Church, who put him through college and the theological
seminary. He came to Omdurman two years ago, having been
previously about two years in the Sudan at Port Sudan and
Atbara. He is a man of good appearance and very acceptable as
a preacher. W e are hoping that it may be the will of the Master
to use him as His chosen messenger especially to the black people
of Omdurman and to the black tribes from one of which his
ancestors were carried away as slaves. Will not those who read
these words plead with the Lord that Tubia may be true to his
name and bring countless blessings to these poor people ?
“ During the first two of these years under review two reg­
ular preaching stations were maintained, the second having been
opened in a section of the city known as the Muselma quarter.
This is about one and one half miles from the old meeting place,
and is just on the edge of this populous district. This part o f
the city is where the Mahdi and the Khalifa segregated all those
who had formerly been Christians. All had become Mohamme­
dans; at least outwardly, with one exception, that being Father
Orhwalder, a priest of the Roman Catholic faith. Those re­
maining o f them and their descendants still reside in this quar­
ter, and they number not much short of a thousand, most o f
whom have returned to their original faith. All of them are

207
sadly in need o f instruction. This is the only opportunity that
the most of them have ever had to hear the pure gospel of Christ.
“ This new location is also on the edge of a large Mohamme­
dan quarter, so we hope that new life may here be brought to
thousands. W e are glad to note among the people of the Muselnia quarter very much less prejudice against their Moslem neigh­
bors than we have ever noticed elsewhere among Christian people
living in the midst of Mohammedans, and also less fanacticism ex­
hibited by the Moslems against the Christians. Those thirteen years
of practical captivity brought the two peoples into such close con­
tact with one another that they seem to have come to understand
each other in an extraordinary way. W e are hoping that through
these people of Muselma we may find entrance to many of the
homes and hearts of the Mohammedans.
“ The services were held in a private courtyard during the
first year and a half, but now a site has been secured and a very
simple meeting house is being erected. It is nearing completion
and we hope that before long the services may be reopened with
many in attendance.”
Out Stations.— O f the out stations, Atban. and Wad Medani
have been well served, and all of the others /nore or less neglect­
ed. At Atbara the school room in which the services are held
is too small and in other ways not very suitable. The congrega­
tion had collected almost sufficient funds for a new church at
the outbreak of the war when prices went so high that building
had to be postponed. The meetings have been for most of the
time very good, and there has been some progress and growth.
Like nearly all of the larger centers, those who attend are em­
ployed in some sort of Government service, and are liable to be
moved frequently, and this tends to lessen the growth of the con­
gregations.
W ad Medani has been served by an evangelist for only two
years of this period. The mission owns a small building here,
and this is a great advantage.
Wad Medani is the political center of a very fertile and
populous district. In many respects it is one of the most im­
portant centers of all North Sudan. It is a trading center with
Abyssinia, and on the highway to that country. Through this
district the Government has projected a huge irrigation canal on
which a considerable amount o f work had been done before the
war brought it to a standstill, but for which a loan of three mil­
lion pounds has now been secured, and no doubt work will soon
be started again.
It is almost imperative that we have a missionary stationed
in Wad Medani soon.
In the Dongola province work was begun about the middle
of 1918, when an evangelist was sent to Merowe, the political
center. He is meeting with unexpected success in becoming ac­
208
S udan— Khartu m .
quainted with the people. This province has been neglected only
because there was no one to send there. Like Wad Medani it is
a fertile province and there are a good number of Copts who
have been there from away back before the days of the Mahdi.
It has come within our recent survey for a complete occupation
of the field, and a missionary is badly needed there, especially
as it is difficult to visit it without spending some weeks in the
journey.
Haifa, which is the political center of the most northern
district of the Sudan, has had preaching for only a few months
of this period, and almost all the remainder of the district de­
scribed at the beginning o f this report is left without any attempt
to give the people the gospel. That is to say that the policy has
been to concentrate in the big centers of population and from
these to work out as we could. But little has been accomplished
as compared with the opportunity and the need.
Sabbath Schools.— The Sabbath school work has not been
properly organized except at those centers where day school work
provides the teaching staff and makes organization possible.
Haifa and Atbara, which are far removed from any help
or supervision from missionaries, have most interesting Sabbath
schools. The pupils are almost all from the day schools. At
Haifa they are largely girls and women, because that is a girls’
school, and there has been no preacher there to work among the
men and boys. At Atbara it is the reverse. There is a boys’
school and the congregation has been supplied with a preacher
all of the time. In Atbara, at a recent visit, we found more than
a hundred in attendance at Sabbath school, while at the morn­
ing preaching service there were not more than sixty. The teacher
of the day school was able to get many of his day pupils into
the Sabbath school. The same is true at Haifa.
At Khartum church we have not been able to organize a
Sabbath school, but there is one in connection with the Boys’
Home. It is not large and is attended only by boys from the
Home and day school. Contributions are naturally small, as
all the pupils are poor. At Khartum North the boys’ day school
unites with the girls’ day and boarding school and together they
have a general review of the lesson. There are always some men
and women also in attendance. The Sabbath school was closed
during the summer vacation, but during the remainder of the year
the average attendance was one hundred and twelve.
Omdurman claims the banner Sabbath school of the mission
Mr. Sowash reports as follow s:
“ It is a real pleasure to be able to say that we consider thf
Sabbath school work at Omdurman as second to none in the
Sudan. During the past years our attendance has risen frorr
20 to 100, with an average o f nearly 60. The attendance varies
greatly with the Moslem boys for the reason that occasionally

opposition is encountered from some fanatical religious leader
who threatens dire punishment on any Moslem who dare attend
the hated infidel school. Following such an outburst we may
have few Mohammedan boys, and on some occasions n o n e, for
a Sabbath or two. Usually, however, it is only a very few Sab­
baths until they return. It is a subject for special thanksgiving
that recently quite a number of Mohammedan boys brought
others who have attended regularly and have given the closest
attention to the lesson. In a recent lesson these boys were great­
ly astonished that the missionary should teach that it was the
duty of all boys to help one another. The golden text for that
day was ‘Bear ye one another’s burden and so fulfill the law
of Christ.’ When these boys were asked if they thought it was
the duty of a Christian to help a Moslem or a Jew, or vice versa,
they had no hesitancy in answering with an emphatic ‘N o.’
Great was their astonishment when told that a true Christian
must be ready to help anybody, no matter how poor or how bad
or how sick, of whatever race or color or language or distinction.
They have been taught to hate all Christians and that all Chris­
tians hate them. It is inconceivable to a Moslem that his God or
his prophet could ever care for or love any but a Moslem, and
very naturally he reasons that Christ does not love any but his
own followers. The Moslem is taught from infancy to old age
that hell-fire is chiefly for two classes of people, the ignorant and
the infidel.
“ We feel that about the only hope o f getting people into the
Church is through the Sabbath school. Just as the day school
leads to the Sabbath school, so the Sabbath school leads to the
Church.”
E D U C A T IO N A L.
In this district there have been six schools on which the
mission has expended a good deal o f money and labor. Two
of the six schools are for girls. One is at Haifa, which we call
the “ William Little School” in honor o f the man who provided
the money for the building. There the one Syrian teacher has
done wonderful things and deserves special mention among all
of our teachers. Through all of these years she has maintained
the number of pupils at about eighty, and has trained her helpers
from among her own pupils. She keeps everything in order and
her pupils are models of neatness. The Governor of the province
after having examined the pupils remarked: “ It is wonderful!'
I do not see how she does it. The best part of it is that they
are all so neat and clean and everything in such wonderful order.”'
But to us a better part still is the Scripture lessons, the Sabbath
school and the preaching services for these children, most o f
whom would otherwise be without instruction in the gospel o f
Christ.

Girls’ Day and Boarding School, Khartum North.— A more
perfect work is performed at the girls’ school, Khartum North—
more perfect because of more favorable conditions. A boarding
school always has the advantage over a simple day school in the
closer touch with the pupils in their lives, and in having them re­
moved from the influences o f home life which in non-Christian
homes is almost always to the child’s disadvantage. At a recent
meeting a missionary said: “ The Girls’Boarding School and the
Boys’ Home are our two mostimportantinstitutions, which
are
destined to wield a profound influence on all of our work in
North Sudan. W e have no other work which will compare with
them in the extent of influence and the value of results.”
The management of the girls’ school during the period cov­
ered by this report was necessarily interrupted, and the records
were not kept for the entire time, but I append here Miss Grove’s
report for 1918, which although an advance over the other two
years, as should be expected, will serve for a fair estimate of
period.

These two hundred and seven girls have come in contact
with Christian lives for at least a part of the year and have
been under the direction o f these Christian lives and have heard
the word of life not only in the daily chapel exercises, but also
in the daily Bible lesson in the various classrooms.
Almost one half of them are from the class who despise the
Christians, and yet they come to us to be taught not only book
knowledge, but morals as well and how to live a cleaner and
better life, and as they come to us they learn something of the
One who gave Himself that they might have life.
Since 1915 the number of girls has not increased greatly,
but we need not seek far for the reason o f this. Our school room
has not increased since then and the teachers are fewer. The
matter of the fees may also have something to do with it, for
whereas in 1915 but one third of the boarding pupils paid fees,
Sudan — Khartum.
211
now one half of them are paying pupils, and the number of free
day pupils has decreased to one.
The boarding fees are more than double the amount shown
in the last report and tuitions for day pupils have almost doubled.
So much for what figures can tell, but there remains much that
figures cannot tell and much that eternity alone can reveal.
Since our last report some o f our girls have entered the ranks
of the teachers. This is quite a step forward, as it has been and
is a very difficult thing to hold the girls in school long enough
to give them the education and training needed to make them
qualified teachers. Many of them, according to their custom,
are taken out and married when quite young, but in spite of this
custom three classes this year are being taught by our own girls.
The little tots are being taught by the girls in the training class,
one of the girls teaching the class one week and another the fol­
lowing week. The next two classes also are taught by two of
our girls, but all of them need much supervision. Three of our
girls are teaching for the Church Missionary Society, and one is
teaching in a Government school for girls. They wanted another
girl for a school which they are opening, but we had none that
we felt safe in sending. W e might have placed one or two others
with the Church Missionary Society, if we had had them ready.
Is it not worth striving for to have good Christian teachers, well
trained and ready to take charge of these schools as they are
opened? These girls need our prayers, for many are the tempta­
tions which they will meet.
Another new feature is the bread baking. In former years all
of the bread for the girls was bought, but now the girls help to
bake the bread for themselves and also for us. As this is written
our bake woman is lying in the hospital and we know not where to
find one to take her place, and so the girls are baking good bread
for us and doing it all by themselves. Each girl who is large
enough is given her turn at helping in the baking.
The Boys’ H om e.— The Boys’ Home, Khartum, is the other
boarding school of the mission. It has been limited in many re­
spects, but refuses to cease growing, and greater things have been
planned for its future. W e are grateful that sufficient funds
have been provided to allow us to go forward with the purchase
of the land at the site selected for the new Home. W e selected
the site not knowing whether we could induce any one to sell
or not. It was all held by natives in small holdings, and often
many individuals had an interest in a plot containing a few acres.
In one piece there were about ten acres, and nineteen different
persons had to be persuaded to sell. It seemed hopeless, but the.
land is ours.
I wish all of you who read this report to know that since
the last report three years ago a new spirit has come to the boys
of the Home. It has been a gradual growth and though the boys
212
Sudan — K hartum .
are not yet all genuinely good, and some o f them need constant
watching, they are not all always bad as they once were. One
boy was baptized, and he has such a fine spirit that none of the
others can find a fault in him. He is not the most advanced in
knowledge, but he is gaining in that too.
For the lack of funds and accommodation the number of
boys has been limited to forty. With the cheapest of food, kafir
corn, at $2.50 per bushel, it has not always been an easy matter
to provide even for this limited number, but the boys have never
gone hungry and have never complained. A physician who was
called in to attend a sick boy remarked: “ There is one thing that
I notice with your boys that I do not see anywhere else. It is
that they are always willing to help one another.” That is a
very just estimate o f the lot, although some do not deserve it.
Another, a Government official, who was not supposed to be very
much in sympathy with any sort of mission work, remarked,
“ Nowhere here do I see boys who look you in the face as these
boys do.”
W e have more small boys than formerly, but enough of the
larger ones who have been with us longer to leaven the lump.
W e find the bigger boys a great help in the general management,
and with them to help us we like to have a large number of small
boys. You can hardly get them too young. W e have three under
four years o f age, and about half of them are under ten years
of age. The bigger boys as soon as they are able go out to some
sort of service. Two are assistant teachers, one is a clerk in a
bank, one is with a commercial firm, one is in the tram service, and
several are in Government employment. All but one are doing
Aery well and giving satisfaction.
Our schools for boys and girls have as assistants today thir­
teen that have been trained in our schools.
The Omdurman school and Khartum North school for boys
have been under the direction of Mr. Sowash. His report fol­
lows : “ During the past three years the boys’ school at Omdurman
has been in a flourishing condition. The average daily attendance
runs from sixty to eighty, from one third to one half of the
pupils being Mohammedans and the remainder Copts, Syrians
and Armenians.
“ The literary standard of the school has been higher than
during any previous period of its existence. The school build­
ing can accommodate comfortably sixty pupils and when the
attendance goes up to eighty or more, the rooms are too crowded
for the best results. Another defect in the school equipment
is the lack o f sufficient and suitable desks. An estimate for more
and better seats has been made year after year for at least eight
years, but the appropriation for our school work has never been
sufficient to warrant their purchase. The school is also in need
S '
udan— K hartu m.
213
of better equipment in the way o f more and better maps and
more blackboard space.
“ The Bible lesson has been faithfully taught and many have
learned of Him who came from Heaven to earth to seek and to
save that which was lost. Much has been done in the way of
removing prejudice in this old dervish center. The school has
been of great value in bringing many boys into the Sabbath
school.”
What Mr. Sowash has written of Omdurman is true of all
our schools. They are forces for removing prejudice, for
bringing young lives under the influence of strong Christian teach­
ing and living, and for the direct teaching of God’s word such
as no other agency known to us can do. The schools might be
made much more efficient with better equipment and closer super­
vision, but even lacking many things that seem desirable, they
are a very potent factor that influences all other work. They are
abundantly worth all that they cost in time and expenditure.
O f the outlook Mr. Sowash writes: “ T h e day cometh’ which
may be translated ‘the day is come’— the day of discontent with
the old order of things, the day of inquiry, the day of desire for
new and better things on the part of all the people, the day of
opportunity. W e hope that it is the day for more freedom in
preaching the gospel in all Moslem lands. W e believe also that
the day has come when our brave old Church is ready to face
the Mohammedan and heathen world with a renewed determina­
tion to conquer in His name.”
Women’s W ork.— In the Sudan the needs of all the work
in every branch are great, but surely there is none greater than
that of work among women. Your missionaries have felt this
need greatly from the very beginning of the work here. It has
been very difficult, however, to convince those at the home end
that the need was sufficiently great to justify the expense.
In the east what a child wants it cries for and continues
to cry until it gets it. W e have lived a long time in the east and
have adopted many eastern customs, so we cried. The W omen’s
Board, like loving, indulgent, eastern parents, offered us other
things to divert us from our desires, such as an American, who
would do this work, forgetting that it would take at least four
years for an American to prepare to do any independent work,
and for harem work an even longer period. Even when the
young lady was ready to undertake the work it would still be
necessary that she have a helper. So we continued to cry, and
we finally got the usual eastern result, the thing we wanted.
Having the consent o f the Board was the first step. Secur­
ing the teacher the second. The east refuses to be hurried, so it
was not until the end of 1917 that the teacher was on the ground.
Let me introduce her: Sitt Farooza Gergis from Luxor. She is
a widow, twenty-three years of age. She was married and wid­
214
Sudan— Khartum .
owed m her twelfth year. She is not the product of any school,
but received her education entirely from a Bible woman such as
she now is. She makes her home in the Girls’ Boarding School
and her work has been entirely in- Khartum North until this
year, when she has spent one day each week in Khartum.
In planning for the work the thought was primarily to reach
the poor black women who it seemed could be reached in no other
way than through some one set apart to carry the message to
them in their homes. They are too old to attend school, too
careless and too satisfied with the lives they are living to come
to the church or the women’s meeting, and above all they feel
no need of a Saviour. It was decided that the work should be
begun in Khartum North rather than in Khartum or Omdurman,
chiefly because the girls in the boarding school furnished, as we
thought, open doors to the homes from which they came. Now
I cannot carry you step by step through the opening of the work,
but will tell you only of some of the discouragements and some
of the happenings.
The very biggest discouragement came very soon, for we
found that the black women o f Khartum North did not want us
nor our message. Irregular calls on them when they might ask
about the customs of our country and might look upon the ladies
“ from down country” at close quarters and examine their clothes
was one thing, but to sit down and learn their letters, and later
to sit quietly and listen to some one read from a book that was
not their book about something which they did not believe or in
which they were in no way interested or mayhap in itself an o f­
fense to them, this was a very different matter. However, we
made a start among them and succeeded in getting into a number
of houses, some of them little better than houses of ill-fame. W e
were never asked to go into some of the houses, but were allowed
to sit in the street outside the door and there were seen by all
who passed by. This, no doubt, worked to our undoing. See­
ing us sitting in these places two or three times each week doubt­
less led men to ask what we were doing there. The work seemed
to prosper for a few weeks, then one morning at every house
we were told that the woman we asked for was out or she had
gone on a journey or her husband needed her. W e soon de­
cided that something was wrong. Finally at one of the houses
I pushed the door open and found the woman I had just been
told was at the river, sitting in the court. I asked, “ What is
wrong? W hy will you not see us?” She answered, “ I do not
want a lesson.” “ Do you mean that you do not want a lesson
today or that you do not want a lesson ever?” I asked. She
said, “ Never.” Then I asked, “ May I not come to see you some
time?” She answered, “ No.” Then I said, “ Well, Um Fatma,
you come to see me some time and I will tell you to come in and
sit down and will be glad to see you.” But she has nevei; come

and our hearts ache over that still, because their lives are hard
and wicked, and many, both men and women, are drunkards. The
beer that is drunk here is bad for health and morals and mind
and soul. No, we have never gone back to those houses of which
I have just told you. W e have said to ourselves, and to each
other, “ Yes, we must try to go next week,” but somehow next
week is just as full as this week and last week and all the other
weeks, and we have never found the time.
Although these houses of our choosing were closed in our
faces, God had other places for us to work and they were shown
to us from time to time. One of these openings came through
the marriage of one of the boys who had been in the Hom e; a
marriage over which we were all disappointed. Another came
through a man named Hassan, who had spent some time in Egypt
and while working in Luxor had become interested in reading
the Bible. After his return to Khartum, Dr. Giffen taught him
for some time before our last vacation to America. On our re­
turn he was working outside the city, so that we lost track of
him. But one day I met him on the street, and almost before
he was through with his profuse salutations, he said: “ I hear
that )rou are teaching the women in the houses. I am married.
W on’t you come to teach my w ife?” W e went, and so the work
goes on. One woman hears from another woman about the
teacher and asks that we go to her also. A woman from Omdurman comes across to her father’s house in Khartum North each
week to get her lesson with her sisters. Will not our women at
home see in this a call for a Bible woman in Omdurman where
there is none as yet? Khartum, which has a Bible woman one
day each week, ought to have one for full time.
W e have also among the pupils Egyptian women who did
not have the opportunity to go to school before their marriage.
So we can count among those reached by your harem worker
Sudanese, Egyptians, Abyssinians, Moslems and Christians, bond
and free, clever and stupid. Some want only the knowledge to
read, but no Bible lesson. And the Lord be praised! There are
some who feel that they have not the time nor the mind to learn
to read who want the Bible lesson. Some are unwilling to have
a Christian prayer offered in their house, others gladly consent
that we pray for their children. It is a fine opportunity to try
to be all things to all women. W e even teach them to crochet
when there is no other way to awake an interest in them.
Two of the women, one a nominal Christian and the other a
Moslem, have had what they call devil possession. The Moslem
woman is better.
Is it possible that our American women will be satisfied
'with this beginning? W e hope not.
W e do feel the need of more workers because of the weari­
ness of the flesh, but the great reason is our desire that more of

Equipment—T w o residences for missionaries.
The flood of 1917 will not soon be forgotten in the Sudan.
Everywhere we hear o f the damage that it did. Through the
efforts of the missionaries at the station and their prayers, the
situation was saved and the property was kept from injury. Had
the river gone a foot higher things might have been different.
Advantage was taken of the flooded condition of the country
that prevailed until January, 1918, to visit some of the outlying
villages in canoes. One could paddle right over the top of corn
fields and what had been waving pasture fields, right to the edge
o f the villages.
Dr. T. A. and Mrs. Lambie, with their family, returned
from their furlough in February, 1918, and were very glad, in­
deed, to find that the station had not been washed away, and to
find their friends, Rev. and Mrs. P. J. Smith, well though needing
a rest after their tussle with the river. It was a great pleasure
to know that they had really enjoyed themselves, for they said
there was no place on earth that they would rather be than
Nasser. They loved the people and the place.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith were living in the only residence that
there was at Nasser at that time, and it was none too large for
them. It wras evident that the first thing to be done was to try
to get a house built. There is nothing gained by the missionary
and his family trying to live in a hut like the native. It can’t
be done. He may be able to do so for a few days or a few weeks,
but then the fever comes. The white ants eat his tables and
chairs, and the red ants climb up into his bed at night, the mos­
quitoes descend everywhere, while scorpions, rats and numerous
other things appear from various and sundry places. Single men
may be able to stand it for a time, but even in France women and
children were not expected to stay in the trenches. Timber there
is none that is suitable. Bricks there are none, but they can be
made No one knoAvs how to make them but the missionary
and he does not know either, but he can learn. There are no
masons to be had locally. They either have to be brought from a
great distance with much expense or else the missionary has to
roll up his sleeves and act as master workman. It is an old story,
but it gets older before that house is finished.
I suppose that missionaries all over the world are trying to
make bricks without straw or at least A v it h far too little straw.
The great thing about it is that it drives one to the Lord and
when man’s arm seems so woefully short a little time in prayer

217
seems to put such a different look on things. Praise His name!
And so the new house is being built and it truly is a palace to
the people of the southern Sudan. Part of it is already being
occupied and there is one missionary family just so full of grati­
tude to God that they say “ Praise the Lord” every time they look
up at the walls and the roof over their heads. It is not luxurious,
but furnishes protection from the weather and insects and reptiles
and a little privacy and makes home life possible.
E V A N G E L IS T IC .
One missionary in summing up his report for the year says:
“ The year has been marked by steady, quiet progress, nothing
startling or very much out of the ordinary, but just a feeling of
the Lord’s presence.”
I think we will all agree that this is the very best sort of
progress, a steady growth with “ nothing startling.” And yet
there were some things unusual at Nasser station. Take this
for example. Mr. Smith preached in all of the villages within
a radius of ten miles of the mission station. It was not preaching
to crowds of men and women who were hungering and thirsting
for the truth, for they did not know that they were lacking in
any spiritual thing— they did not know their need of a Saviour
until they were told. They were hungry and thirsty and dying,
but did not know it. Mr. Smith’s work was done by visiting
them in their huts. He went to each one or to each family and
in this very personal way took the message to 7250 people who
had never heard it before. On the more extended trips that have
been made, he has been away for a week or two at a time, living
out in the open air, without tents or luxuries of any kind, going
about from village to village, making friends and pointing them
to Jesus Christ. From morning till night there will be meeting
after meeting, all very informal, and the repeating over and over
again perhaps the same message and singing the same songs,
with numerous interruptions patiently borne and then a return
to the glad tidings of Jesus. O f a recent trip Mr. Smith says:
“ In these eighteen days I went along one stream for about twentyfive miles and came in contact with 2500 people, and as I look
over the map of the Nuer country it would appear that these
few to whom I have spoken are as a mere drop in the bucket. I
do not know how long this stream is, nor how many villages
there are on its banks, but they are many, and there are many
longer streams and in more densely populated regions. Do not
forget, you who may read this, that these are your brothers and
sisters. Are you going to allow them to remain in darkness for
another four thousand years ?”
W e have an accession to our force this year in the person
of an evangelist from Egypt— Daniel Effendi. He is a young
man who was educated in our schools in Egypt and had two
218
Sudan—Nasser.
years’ training in the theological seminary in Cairo. All the
Egyptian workers that have come to the Sudan before, and there
have been some very good men, came with the purpose of working
in their own language, the Arabic, but Daniel has come with
the idea of learning the Nuer language and doing all his work
with the Nuers, During the few months that he has been here
he has made great progress in acquiring the language and in gain­
ing entrance into the hearts of the people. He is very anxious
to get out among the people and does go every afternoon, preach­
ing to the Nuers in their villages in their own language. In three
months he has spoken to 3695, and Miss Truan, a Swiss girl,
who has been employed by the mission, spoke to 1254 people in
one month. The attendance at the Sabbath services at the mis­
sion averaged sixty more, and those who heard the gospel at
the clinic aggregated 15.000, making a total of nearly 30,000
people reached with the message.
M E D IC A L .
W e are very thankful for the way the people have received
the medical work. The Lord has blessed it beyond our expecta­
tion. From nearly a hundred villages and over a widely scattered
country, the people have come in. They have paid for their
medicine, too, and the money that they brought was one of the
ways by which the Lord provided the building.
The need of a nurse was felt very badly. The patients came
in great numbers every day and were needing so •much more
than medicine. A telegram was dispatched to Khartum to ask
for the loan of Miss Emma M. McKeown for a few months.
This request was kindly granted and in due time Miss McKeown
arrived. A mule near Doleib Hill succeeded in delaying her
arrival by giving her a bruised shoulder. She stayed only a few
months when an English clergyman came up from Khartum for
her and succeeded in taking her away. The Lord had something
else in store for us, however. Marie Truan, a Swiss girl, had
been with the mission in Egypt and the Sudan for several years
helping to look after the children. She already knew a good deal
of the Nuer language, and while Miss McKeown was in our
midst she had taught her a great many useful things about caring
for the sick, so that when Miss McKeown left Miss Truan went
into the clinic and took charge.
A card index system has been introduced for cataloguing
the patients. One difficulty was encountered. The people do not
always give the same name. Sometimes when asked her name
a woman would give the name “ Mother o f Gai or o f Y ol,” or
of somebody else, or she might give the name that she had been
given as a child, or as a grown up, so that each person might
be known by any one of a half dozen names. This is all very
Sudan — N asser.
219
confusing in an index, as the patients forget which name they
have given, and it is almost impossible to find their cards again.
The difficulty was overcome by requiring each patient to wear
suspended from his neck a piece of tin which had been perforated
and had stamped on it a serial number that corresponded to his
number in the card index. Some of them regarded it as a kind
of fetish to help the medicine until it was explained to them.
W e are thankful that the gospel is being preached to the
Ntiers in the church every Sabbath day, to the sick and suffering
oi>es in the clinic, a hundred or more every day except Sabbath,
arid to those in the villages. Not a day passes but the word goes
out about Nasser far and wide. Marie Truan, Daniel Effendi
and Mr. Smith are out every afternoon with picture roll, telling
the old, old story, in cattle barns or out under a tree, and the
people are singing
“Jesus loves me, oh, so much,
He gave His blood for me.”
The old, old story, only vaguely understood perhaps, yes,
and yet the word o f God, the all powerful Word.
Here ends our report. Wre believe that it sets forth truly,
and so far as we are able, the work of the mission. In the North
Sudan we are terribly handicapped by restrictions placed upon
“ aggressive work” for the Moslem population. But God’s truth
cannot be hidden, and that which has been told in secret will in
due time be made manifest to many.
In closing this report we wish to acknowledge the loving
kindness of our Father and the thoughtfulness of many friends,
and especially those who sustained us in prayer. These have
been strenuous years for everybody. Even the very simple neces­
saries o f life have cost far beyond anything we had expected or
calculated for, but sufficient provision was made and our deep
gratitude goes with this to those upon whom we depend for their
prayers and contributions. If any o f you have been careless,
may "lod help you not to forget.
