"Annual )tttettng

The Eighty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the North India Christian Traot and Book Sooiety was held at the Tract Depot, Allahabad, on the 18th November 1937, at 5 pm., with Dr. Sam Higginbottom, President of the So­oiety, in the Chair. The meeting was preceded by an 'At Home.'

After the singing of a hymn, Mr. R. D. Priestman, of Roshangabad, read a passage from the Scriptures, and the Revd. Sukh L'lll, of Jalesar, led in prayer. Mr. W. B. Hayes, Honorary Treasurer, presented the Annual Report and Accou1!ts for the year] 936·37. On a resolution moved by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Lucknow, and seconded by the Revd. T. N. Hill, of Jubbulpore, the report and acoounts for the year 1936·37, were passed, and the members of the General Committee, under Rule 7 (II) were elected-(See list at the beginning of the Report.)

The Revd. R. B. Cummings, D. D., of Lucknow, in addressing the meeting, said:-

THE WRITTEN MESSAGE

It was with oonsidera bIe trepidation that I accepted the invitation of Rai Bahadur Mukerji to speak at this meeting, this afternoon. I had rather faoe ten days of evan­gelistio meetings than a half hour's talk on a formal oooasion like this, for, as my wife oould tell you, my forte is not mak­ing formal speeohes. I have the bad habit of very rarely making any notes or outline when I attempt to speak, and some of my friends have attempted to make me ohange in this respeot. One of these friends is Mr. Russell Graham of the United Churoh of Canada. He has often admonished

( 2 )

me on the evils of speaking as impromptu as I am in the habit of doing and has urged me to make notes and an out­line at least before speaking. I acknowledge his advice as very good, but seldom follow it. A few days ago, his wife decided that she would back up her husband'in his attempt to reform my manner of preparing and delivering addresses, so she sent me the following story clipped from some news­paper. A Negro minister in the United States went one morning to oall on one of his white ministerial brethren and found him at his desk writing. After the usual greeting, he said to his brother, "Brother, what you all doin'?" "Why, I'm making notes for my Sunday sermon." "Now, brother, don't you neb ber do dat" "Why not P" "'Oause, for this. When you all takes notes and writes down what you gwine to say, den de deb bi! he come behind and peep ovah youah ahouldah, and Bee everything you gwine to preaoh about. And then on Sunday mawnin' the debbil he all raady £oah you. Now, when 1'8e got to preach, I nebber makes any notes, no sirree; and when I gets up in de pulpit neither me nor de debbil know.:; what I'se a gwine to say"

Whether this story had any effeot or not, I'll not say, but the truth is that I did depart from my usual custom and make some notes in preparation, and it looks as if the Negro brother was right, for when I landed here this morning I was informed that all the students in the college had gone on strike, so that I wasn't going to get a chance to prq,oh to them in ohapel ; that there was a oommunal riot in the -oity; and that I had better be oareflll and not say the wrong thing at this meeting. Then, to cap the climax, just aiter we had arrivea here in Dr. Vestal's motor, some one hit our motor in the rea.r, fortunately, however, without damage to either car. I wonder after thinking over this reception whether I should have made any notes at all! Or whether I should have followed the Negro brother's advioe!

There is one word in the title of your society whieh makes me feel very muoh at home. I am glad to see

( 3 )

.that YOll are called the North India Ohristian Tract and Book Society. As Christians, we have a very great treasur.e of Truth entrusted to us, and it is our most sacred duty to saffguard that truth and to deliver it to the world. A ChI"ist· ian Tract and Book Society has a very great share in the fulfilling of such an obligation. Our Lord chose to write His tracts and books and letters in the hearts of men. The New Testament is a remarkable fulfilment of the prophecy contained in the Old Testament that God would not write the New Oovenant on tables of stone but in the hearts and minds of His people. Therefore our Lord never wrote a line as far as we know, except on the ground. He preferred to wri te so deeply in the hearts and min ds of Peter, John, Matthew, Paul, and countless others, that they would be living epistles known and read of all men. And they, in their turn, out of the burning words that Christ had written in their hearts, wrote for their readers the tracts which we know by the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The Acts, and the letters which comprise the rest of the New Testament. This is still our Lord's method, He desires by the power of His Holy Spirit to write His laws in our hearts, and then the heart that is filled with His laws and love cannot but write and speak and bear witness to the living Christ. It is a splendid work of the N. I. C. T. & B. Society that it gives to Christians whose heads are burning with the message of the Cross and the Resurrection and the Love of God the opportunity and encouragement to write and publish the messages that God has given them. Let me add my humble voice to what has already been said, to urge those ill whose hearts the Living Son of God has written His words of fire and love, to put the message He has given into traots and send them to the Society for possible publication.

This age talks a great deal of liberty and freedom. For this reason the famous words of our Lord, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free", have been spread over the earth. I suppose there are DO words more often

( 4 )

quoted, written over institutions of learning, used as mot­toes, and presented by ohampions of liberty, than these words. But we who are Christians must remember that these words oompose only the latter half of what our Lord really said, and that when the whole statement is presented, only then can we expect the promise to be verified. "If ye a bide in my word", said our L'}rd, "then are ye my disciples and ye shal1 know the truth and the truth shall set you free." Even we who are Christians sometimes forget that important "and" whioh precedes the famous quotation. But, as Dr. Howard Kelly bas pointed out, it is that "and" whioh makes all the difference between true liberty and counterfeit Only those who abide in His words are disoiples or learners of His and only they are eligible for the diploma of gradl!stion into true freedom. It is with that conviction thnt we dare to remain in India, and it is when we enter into that liberty that we realize the sham of all counterfeit liberty of which there is so muoh talk in this age. Hence, let us guard with all our heart the word CHRISTIAN as we send out traots and books into a world that is reading so eagerly.

The outstanding difference between Christianity aud other so-called religions is in its conception of God. Christ, the Son, knew the loveliness and perfection and graciousness of His Father, and His Heart burned with the desire to make that Father known to a world that had almost no conoeption of His love and grace. I can illustrate what I mean by a personal expe!'ience. At one time I was a guest in the home of a Christian family in America. After the meal was over, the lady of the house said to me, "Mr. Cummings, woud'nt you like to come upstairs and see our little sufferer." It was an unusual request, but, of course, I was agreeable, though I knew not what she meant. We rose from the ta hIe nnd the mother and fa.ther and children led me upstairs to a bed­room where, beside a window, lay a child's oot. In the oot lay a little girl about nine year old. The mother looked at her tenderly for a moment .and theIl, her eyes filled with

( 5 )

tears, looked up and said, "This is our little sufferer. From the time she was born she has not been able to see or hear or talk or move from this bed. As far 8S we are able to judge, all she can do is to lie here and suffer. We have ministered to her day and night; our hearts are continually with her; there is nothing we would not do to help her if we could. We would give almost anything if she would show by some sign that she knows we are sharing her misery. But what is breaking our hearts is that she has never given the least indioation that she knows we are ministering to her, nor has there been the slightest re3ponse to our love."

'l'hrough that mother's heart I got a glimpse into the heart of the Fa.ther. That is the pioture of God, His true likeness, revealed to us by Christ. He leans in tender love and sympatlIy and compassion over a blind, deaf, dumb, and sick world, ministering to it day and night. Men have not known His love or His Graoe, 8nd will not believe it. God has broken the fetters that bound our un believing hearts, and has shown us the glory of His Love and Grace, and sent us out to bring to others the knowledge and light that He has sent into our hearts. What a glorious ministry! To open the eyes of His little sufferers to see the Father bend­ing over them in loving ministry. To unstop the deaf ears of sin-sick men and women that they might hear the loving voioe of their Sttviour! And to break the fetters that keep them dumb, so that their tongues might be loosed to confess and praise the Lord who has loved, and sought them so long, and has purchased theil' freedom Calvary and the Conquered 'romb.

By every means within our power we must get the mes­sage of the love of God in Christ to the peoples of India. Through this mAssage alone '\\ ill they .find the freedom that is true, and He who has oalled us to take the messa.ge will never be satisfied until men nnd women come to Him spd ~coept His love and salvation,

( 6- )

In this day of widesprea.d reSiding I am glad for this S9ciety whioh exists for the purpose of getting into the hands of the reading public the message of the Gospel through tracts and. books. Men are reading everywhere, and eagerly; and the ministry of getting into their hands the witness of Christian lives through tracts is worth far more than we can know. Often we are tempted to think that it does not acoomplish much, and then we hear of the far-reach .. ing infiuence of a single tract or gospel portion and it makes us take courage and renew Ollr efforts. It is certainly one of the functiona of suoh a society as this to enoourage in every way Christians in every walk of life to aid in the work of getting Ohristian tracts and books into the hands of I'eaders; and suoh gatherings as this are of great benefit.

Just recently I read of a man who came to the Lord in South India, and when inquiry was mllde as to iniuences that had led him to the Lord it was found that they began when a missionary worker sold him a gospel portion in far .. oft Karachi five years previously. We shall surely reap, if we faint not.

I was glad to note in the report that the Sooiety is beginning to pay speoial attention to the readers of limited education. It is estimated that in India there are only 500,000 who have received more than a high school education, only 2 millions who have received a middle pass or above middle education, while there are 23 millions who have had a third or fourth standard education. Most of the literature available can only be appreciated by the 2 millions because it is written in language tha.t the 23 millions low grade literates cannot understa.nd. The biggest field, it can be seen at 0. glance, is the 23 millions of third and fourth grade education, for whom there is practically no suitable litera­ture. Therefore it is a matter of congratulation that the Society is more fully taking into aooount the need repre­fJelited by- this mass of less .. educaWd :refl,ders. We cannot

( '7 )

be too grateful for the interest that has been aroused in the field of adult education for illiterates, and in the provision of a simple literature for those who are not able to apprec­iate the type of literature that is written for those who are well-educated. Let us do our part in the production and in the distribution of such tracts and books as will appeal to the groups that are just emerging from illiteracy.

Last of all I wish to make an appeal that we all seriously take up the task of distributing the tracts and books of the Society that contain the Christian Witness. It is no time for false dignity and pride. I would commend to each one of you the excellent reports that have been sent in by Dr. Ernest Janvier and Mr. Ogden of their work in selling and distributing tracts and gospel portions. Let me urge you to emulate them. When we go on lorry journeys or train journeys there aTe splendid oppartunities of selling tracts and gospels to those who are travelling, who have nothing to read and do not mini spending a pice or two for a tract to read while they are sitting in the train. I am sure none of you had any more baokwardness and shyness to overcome than the speaker. I remember when I was in the Punjab I came into contact wIth suoh veteran colpor­teurs as Dr. W rr. Anderson. I was led to get a knapsaok and fill it with portions and sell them on the train when I went for a journey. After the ioe was broken I found it was not as hard as my imagination had pictured it. It gave many openings and contacts with travellers, a.s well as being an exoellent way of adding to my knowledge of th~ language and my ability to use it. I'll never forget the day when I was going home on the same train as Dr. Ander­son from a oonvention whioh we had attended together. Both of us were selling gospel portions and when we oame to the end of the journey and counted results, 10 I had sold more than the oha.mpion. That wasn't very often, though! Dr. J. J. Lucas is another great inspiration to all of us and

( s ) an enoouragement both to produoe our own traots and to alwa.ys be getting the message out.

Without this persona.l interest in distribution, the work of the Sooiety is only half done. Its shelves are full of help. ful traots that men and women should have a ohanoe to read. But they never'will unless you get them into their hands with your own warm personal testimony to make them live and glow.

A visitor was onoe viewing some of the preoious stones of a famous jeweller. Among them he notioed an opal, large but lustreless. "What is that dull· coloured stone over there," he asked, "and why is it 80 lUEtreless ?" "i'hat is what we call a sympathetio jewel" was the reply. "It needs the touch of the human hand to make it glow." So saying, he took out the stone and held it in his closed palm for a moment, and then opening his palm 8howed the visitor a glowing brilliant jewel. So upon the shelves of the Traot Sooiety there are dull and lustreless booklets and tracts. All they need is the warmth of the human touoh to make them glow and shine for some soul. It is your work and mine to take this literature and add to it the fire of a personal burning love for Christ born of a living experience, so that when we distribute the message in traot and book form it will live and glow for men and women who need nothing so muoh as the truly liberating words of Hi m who said, " If ye abide in my words, then are ye truly my disciples, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

The President announced the election of the Right Revd. The Lord Bishop of Lucknow as the Patron of the Society which was received with aoclamation. He thanked Dr. Cummings for his splendid address and urged all those who believed in the ministry of Christian literature to give the Society their best support.

After the singing of the second hymn, during whioh 8

collection for the Society's work was taken, the Right Revd. J. R. Chitambar closed the meeting with the benediotion.

Eighty-Ninth Annual Report OF THE

North India ChristIan Tract & Book SocIety

July 1st. 1936 to June 30th, 1937

Founded 1848 Incorporated 1891

Speaking at the last Annual Meeting of the Mid-India Christian Council, the Revd. J. Z. Rudge emphasised the importance of the relationship between good Christian literature and effective evangelism, but he did not minimize the importance of literature for all phases of our Christian work. Dr. John Mott, on the same occasion, emphasized the importance of literature, and the necessity for co-operative planning in both the production and the dissemination of literatul'('. He said that this is a field where co-operation is particularly fruitful.

In recent years very great emphasis has. been placed upon the need for the production of adequate Christian literature for all sorts and conditions of people. Ollrfriends will be glad to learn that during the year under report we published 13 new books and tracts and 11 Gospel posters (Appendices A, D), the total being 38,650 copies and 1,969,650 pages, against 5 books and tracts, 18,OGO oopies and 1,122,000 pages reported last year. Speoial mention should be made of the Hindi Bible Diotionary-a project starte4 in 1924. In the "Introduotion" the Revd. Canoll B. H. P. Fisher, who acted as Convener of the Editorial Committee, writes that this Diotionary is the most ambitious single undertaking that has been attempted by the North India Ohristian Traot and Book Society. It has had its

( 10 )

full share of the inevita hIe difficulties attending a long literary effort and that it has heen brought to a conclusion is oause for thanksgiving to God. This Dictionary will be a memorial to the Revd. Dr. Yohan Masih, whoFe interest in the produotion of suitable Christian literature for the Christ.ian Churoh as well as for those outside it is well known. His isudden and much-lamented death took plaoe in April, 193a when the book was under print. The Revd. YunRs Sinha and the Revd. P. John readily undertook to see their old friend's work through the press. We 81'e indebted to the United Society for Christian Literature, London, for permission to use their Universal Bible Dictionary, which was the basis for the Hindi Dictionary, and also for a grant towards the oost of printing; to the National Christian Counoil for oontinued generous grants while the Diotionary was under preparation and also towards the oost of pro­duotion; and to our good friend, Mrs. J. S. Mackay, for her enthusiasm in oollecting a large Bum in Canada. 'l'hese oontributions have made it possible for the book to be prioed at Rs. 2-8-0, whioh will bring it within the reach of those for whose benefit it is published.

The Oommittee also aoknowledge with gratitude the assistance given by those friends who undertook either to re-write the articles in the Univer8al Bible Dictionary. or to write new articles to suit Indian conditions, ohief among whom were the Revd. W Machin and the late Revd. Dr. H. J. Sheets. The two Managing E-litors, the Revd. J- C. Manry, Ph.D., and during his long absence from India, the Revd. Canon B. H. P. Fisher, who brought the scheme to completion, deserve our special thanks.

The Revd. J. T. Taylor, D. D., of the Union Theological Seminary, Indore-whose Mission permitted Dr. Y ohan M-asih to act aa Hindi Editor of the Bible Diotionary,-ex­presses his satisfaotion in the following words:-

"I am delighted to see the Bible Dictionary 8t last issued from the press.. It'is in every way a satisfactory production.

( 11

I like the whole 'get· up' of the book: the size and form and. especially the way the words are arranged. I would like to see a copy in every Indian Ohristian home wheJ e they can read:'

The Revd. R. Lamb, Secretary, The U ni ted Society for Christian Literature, London, writes:-

"I am glad to Bee this so well done, and I expect it will be of immense valu~ to all who work in the Hindi language'.'

Makltzan·ut-Tawat'iklt (Bible History), in Urdu, prepar­ed under the general editorship of the Revd. W H. Russell, is a text-book of Bible History specially prepared for cate­chists, teachers and Bible students. 1'he Hindi edition of Tlte Oltild ill tlu! Midst; the second part of The Bible Stories for Oltildren, by the Revel. E. W Menzel, with 11 beautiful coloured illustrations; An Inl1'oduction to tlte New Testament, by Miss M. S. T. Elliot; A. Life 01 Jesus Oh,'iKt, in Hindi verse; and Tlte Lives of Saint Ignatiu8 Loyala and Saint Teresa are among the new publications issued during the year.

A new departure is the publication of the Gospel pos­ters in Hindi and Urdu. Each poster contains an Indian picture, coloured with a suitable heading and text from the Scri ptures. rrhese posters, 30" X 20", and priced at 4 annas, are by the Revd. E. W OliYer and the Revd. S. R. Burgoyne. They are suitable for preaohing halls, hospitals, schools and houses.

Miss Collison, Swedish Mission, Saugor, writes:­"Please note all posters Bold. Please send a further

supply of at least three dozen."

The Revd. E. W. Oliver, Motihari, expresses his satis­faotion with the posters in the .following words:-

"Let me congratulate you upou them, for they really are excellent, find I am sure they will meet with a very ready sale indeed."

In addition to the Dew publications, 18 books and tracts have been re-printed, (Appendix B), the total being 126,000

The following from the Revd. E P. Janvier, Ph. D., Allahabad, who helps largely ill the ciroulation of our literature, will be read with interest:-

"To me the 80wingthe Beed of the Gospel through the sale of Gospels and tracts is a pleasure as well as a dllty­There is no monotony in it: every time you go out on a selling expedition, you have a different experience, pleasur­able or otherwiae, but mostly pleasurable. Our best. seller$

,( 13 )

are the one-pice song-books, XlI.lagan BAajan.. Bk"jan Sang'l'OJn, and M'ajmua-i-GasU,lI(i.'t, together with Kalillug Eatna, Yi8U ke Ka; lJ'I'ishtant and Maut au'l' Zinrlagi.

"Recently I tried the experiment of taking with me on an eight-hour train trip Re. 1-4·0 worth of two-pice tracts and pOltions, as well as tra~ts and Gospels to· the same amount

'of money in the one.pice varieties.

"I sold, on the platform, nothing but two-pice tracts and portions on the outward journey. At the end of it I had nine

such books left. On the homeward journey I sold no two­pice tracts. When I reached home, I believe I had 12 one-pice books left. I was txavelling for several hours with

a gentleman from Cutch, who was travelling in connection with his coal business. When I ls-entered the compartment, as the train stal ted, I asked him whether he read Hindi, and, on receiving an affirmative reply, I handed him one of my two- pice stock. He looked at it, asked the price, and then wanted to know whether I had other books for sale. I handed him about As. 4 worth of two-pice books. Still he was not satisfied, and wanted to know whether I had any other books; so I had to open my one-pice stock for him. From this I gave him one of each kind. He said he was delighted to get so much good. reading matter for so little money, and he urged two men in the compartment, who seemed to be connected with him, to buy some of my books, which they did.

"On one train trip I took in November, 1936, the third-class compartment was well filled, and I ha.d already sold a nulU­ber of books, when two men entered at an intermediate station, and sat down near me. I began showing them my books, hoping that they would take one or more. I hand­ed out Bnajan Sang'rah. The literate man looked through it till he came to the !l.azal 'Karta nun tujn 88

iltijah; Yisu' 1Ia8,n, jaryad sun,.' Suddenly he broke forth into song, singing this prayer at the top of his voice to all who might come to listen. His compa.nion asked suddenly whether I had another copy of that book. I had just one, which I handeq. him. He and his companio~ bou~ht a b()ok. "

( 14

The Revd.G. B. Ogden, Kasganj, expresses in the follow­ing words his appreciation of the leaiet Swarup Onand and G08ainji published by us:-

"The paroh.a, (Swat·up OhaDd and GOBainji) written by the Bevd. A. C. Ohakraverti, a yea.r ago at Christmas time, is to my mind OIle of the most appealing and gripping pieces of literature you have recently put onto I always carry a small supply of them in both Hindi and Urdu with me when I travel. I regularly distribute them to all who can read among those sitting- anywhere near me, and glance at it and then lay it down. A Mohammedan fellow-traveller in a third class was given one in Urdu. He read with absorbing interest right through to the end, and then turning to me with an explession of marked interest and earnestness he said, 'Where can I find this Jesus Christ' ? I had my set of four Gospel portions and Acts, ready for just such a come· back. I said, 'Here is His picture.' A Hindu, on a motor lorry, read the Hindi parcha, and at the next stop, when voices could be heard above the roar of the machine, he turned to me and said, 'How can I go to this Jesus Christ that he speaks of here'? Not only he but two others sitting next and overhear­ing the conversation as well as having read their copies of the parch.a, took these two books. Aud so it goes.·'

While sending a large order for different kinds of books, in vernacular, Miss B. F. Madsen, Pendra Road, writes:-

.e'My young readers number more than 200 now. They have literally rea.d the books to pieces -the best thing is the awakening desire of fathers and mothers to be able to read also and the attempt of the children to teach their parents."

Miss M. A. Dennis, Mainpuri, writes: -"The literature published by the North India Ohristian

Tract and Book Society has found a place of great usefulness in our work of teaching and preaching. A large Vernacular Library for adults and one for children, a1so our 'Eight-Anna Travelling Libraries' consisting of thirty-two one-pice books, could not have come into being without the publications oftha Society. Oue boo"k wa~ loaned to ~ non·QhriAtian friend who

15 )

moved from our city and the book moved with her. Two years later the friend returned and the book also came back, having been read by many people. Who can estimate the Christian influence of the literature that is made possible through our Christian Tract Society? "

So is scattered the seed through the printed pages that we are instrumental in putting out. They circula.te not only within the limits of India but in distant places like Suva, Fiji, rrrinidad, ~o.

While the production of Christian literature is attended by serious difficulties the problem of circulation is still an unsolved one in spite of the heroio manner in whioh many of our friends are taking part in it. There is room for improvement in the oiroulation of vernacular Christian literature, for there are many more stations from which no orders for evangelistio literature have been reoeived for a long time. The tiale-prooeeds from vernacular Christian literature amount to only Ra. 4,000 or Rs. 5,000 per year, whioh could hardly be considered satisfaotory.

The Revd. J. Z. Hodge, Secretary, National Christian Council, says:-

"As with production so with distribution: it is imperative that missions and churches should regard the ministry of Ohristian literature tiS an integral part of the Ohristian enter­prise, and not simply as a useful ally. It should be given its rightful place in the budget along with other branches of the work. Everything indicates that Ohristian literature will play an increasingly influentia.l part in the future of the Christian movement in India. Missions and churches should frame their policies accordingly."

Serious efforts are also being made to increase literaoy among adults. Early in the year the National Christ­ian Council oonvened a oonference on literacy when Dr. Laubaoh was present. Committees have been appointed, and speoial books are being prepared for -the benefit of

( 16 )

adults. Grateful reoognition must be made of the pioneer work done by the Moga School and by various individuals. Here again the problem' is to provide a speoial type of books for adults, since those available for ohildren are not entirely suita ble for the purpose. For the children there is the Moga Series, whioh was prepared after oonsiderable experiment. ation. Here are two further testimonies to their usefulness:

The Revd. Gerald K. Peel, Head Master, Christ Church ~oys' High School, Jubbulpore, writes:-

"The School Hindi Readers arrived to-day. I am plea~ed with the series and hope to get much better results from their use. They are the first intelligent lot of readers I have come across in Hindi. The set of 13 Charts in Hindi also arrived to-day and I was very pleased with them."

Mjss B. Madsen, of Pendra, writes:-"I am having a deluge of young people wanting some­

thing to read. The Moga Readers are most popular even with older children. If we only had books along this line for more advanced reading ! "

To meet the needs of the people who are emerging out of a state of illiteracy we have published in Hindi The Story of the Or08s, by Dr. F. C. Laubach, and the Gospel Pri",er.d; by M.iss G. Chapman. Literaoy in India is bound to increase under the new system of government. The national awakening has helped it oonsiderably, so the pro­vincial governments will push it in every way possible.

Another demand hefore us is the providing of literat.ure for the growing mass-movement work. We have published several tracts speoially adapted for the purpose. With reference to a list of such literature reoently issued by us t?e Revd. Bishop J. W. Robinson, D.D., Editor, THE INDIAN WITNESS, writes:-

"The Tract and Book Depot, Allahabad, has just issued a list of the available literature it has on hand for the use of those who are working in mass-movement areas. The range of subjQcts and the number of the leaHets, pamphlets

\

( 11

and booklets available is a matter of gratifying surprise. Under the sub-title Life of Ohrist th~re are in Hindi eight titles; under Bihle Stories there are twelve; of other _religio~ pamphlets .there are thirteen; of simple stories seven; _ of hea th and hygiene six; ~nd of educational eleven. Of the Yoga Readers, supp~ementary readers and instruction books ther~

are twenty-three. In Persian-Urdu.the list is not so long, but nevertheless we find here also above two dozen differept titles. In addition to this there is a list of material that is suitable for the literacy campaign that is now being pushed, and in the two languages there are' perhaps thirty different things listed. The Tract and Book Society deserves the thanks of all engaged in these -different activities for making available in one cover the list of material which may be ordered from its depot in Allahabad. 0,

Several friends by their personal donations, arid the churches in our area by offertories, have helped us with Rs. 4,444-2-9, which is gratefully acknowledged. It exoeeds last year's figure of Rs. 3,297·7-6. The increase is due to the special efforts made by the President and the Hony. Treasurer, who appealed to the various stations in our area. for special help. Our thanks are due to the pastors of the ohurches who place our needs before their people, and to the kind friends who circulate our appeal for persoual donations. One of our most enthusiastio collectors, Miss T. McLean (Jhansi), has gone back: to Amer~oa.. In a letter written just on the eve of her departure she remarks:-

"Before leaving India I want to assure yo~ what a pleasure it has always been to serve to forward the work of the Book and Tract Society in any way I possibly could, and although leaving Iodi'l, for a time, my interest in the work of the Society shall by no means cease."

Our good friend, the Revd. F. A. Goetsch, D. D. has givell . the usual annual oontribution of $1,200.00 and, in response to our appeal for financial assistance to enable us tq olear

·.o~, the bank overdraft and to provide suffic~ent funds lor our

( IS )

future programme, his father has sent & 2,000.00, whioh is gratefully aoknowledged. The Very Revd. A. W Davies, -D. Litt. has sent Rs. 250, and Dr. P. Ii. Edwards Re. 100. These gifts from a broad are most heartening. The National "Christian Counoil has oontributed Rs. 458 for editorial expenses. The Missionary Sooieties represented on the -General Committe~ have paid Rs- 2,147 in membership fees. Rs. 377-2-0 was reoeived as speoial oontributions-the details of whioh will be flJund in Appendix I. In forwarding a cheque for Rs. 100 from the Amerioan Mennonite Mission,

-i~s Seoretary, the Rev. A. C. Brunk, writes:-

"We greatly appreciate the work of your Society and generally we find the literature your Society put out to be very good. We wish you God's richest blessings on your work."

The ba.nk overdraft has praotioally been oleared off by a few loans at 4% interest, whioh will effeot a oonsiderable saving in interest oharges.

Dllring the year there was a sudden drop of Rs.10,62S-13-9 in the money realized from sales, whioh naturally up :et our budget. We were oompelled to oash a Fixed Deposit Reoeipt, which represented some savings during the past

. years in the general fund, -thus seouring Rs. 3,252-15-6. We : are inserting here, in full, the Finanoial Report for the : year, present.edby Yr. W-. B. Hayes, Hony. Treasurer, _ whioh has been passed by the Finanoe Sub-Committee and - the Executive and General Committees:-

It 1S a pleasure to record a small but distinct improve­ment in the financial position of the Society as a result of the year's activities. The Profit and Loss Account shows a profit of Rs. 2,480.

There are two outstand~g features of the yef\r, frqm the financial point of view, one encouraging and one which causes concern. The fall in sales of all classes of literature and stationery is a factor which, if it continues, will require very

( 19 )

e;arefulstudy, and possibily a change in policy~ Froin the point of view of the objectives of the Society, it is most re­grettable that the sales of the Society's own publications fell from Rs. 6,274 in 1936 to Rs. 4,821 in 1937. But from the financial point of view, it is more important that there was a drop in the sale-proceeds from English books a.nd stationery, from Ra. 45,989 in 1936 to Rs. 39,402 in 1937, a drop of Ra. 6,587. Because of the vigilance of the Secretary, however, purchases were curtailed from Rs. 51,184 in 1936 to Rs_ 35,526 in 1937, a decrease of Ra. 15.658. Thus sales exceeded purchases by nearly Rs. 3,876 and the stock on hand was slightly reduoed. It is satisfactory that old stock to the extent of Rs. 9,071 was sold out. It is to be noted also that the general trading account, including these items, shows a profit of Rs. 2,940, while the Society's publications sold for less than the cost of publication. In this way the geQeral business continued to help carry the overhead charges.

The Tract Society act as agents for the United Provinces Branch of the Christian Literature Society, whose total sales during the same period amounted to RS.5,174-4-6. Thus the total business done at the Tract Depot amounted to Ra. 49,397-13· 9. One explanation of the reduced sale is the

tremendous fall in prices of stationery and the small percentage of profit on which English books are being exchanged. The large import of Japanese stationery is primarily responsible for upsetting the trade in India. Some schools which dealt with us are now getting their supply of note-books at a cheap rate from paper merchants, who are satisfied with the com­mission whbh they receive on paper sold.

It is a source of gratitude that thruugh the years .of the depression, the Society has been able to continue its. Ohristian service to the Hindi.speaking area, and to come through with its basic .finanoial position entirely Bound. Cootributions from Missions, Ohurches and individuals have been reduced, ,and business conditions have been most difficult. The general Book·selling and Stationery Department was started in 1867:

largely because the public then found it diffioult to secure books of good fluality elsewhere. But down thl'ough the years

c .. ; :it has made a profit which.has helped ·to carry the' overhead charges necessary for our r.eligLus work. With other book­shops.stocking gen~ral books. the service r~ndered by this de-

. partment is no longer as great as it was. From. time to time the Executive and Finance Oommittees have considered olosing down this d~partment, but it has always been decided that it was desirable to continue becaulie of the finanoial help . rendered by the department. As long as it continues to. be profitable and helpful to our oonstituency it is not proposed to close it.

In 1935 the Secretary prepared several statements 'for the information of the Finance, Executive and General Oommittees. After careful scrutiny a statement was prepared by the Rev. Dr. J, O. Manry, and the Revd. J. W. Prentice (Treasurer, Ewing Ohristian College), in which they pointed out that the secular side of the business not only did not use up gifts to

• the Society but reduced to Rs. 849-2-3 a loss which otherwise would have been Rs. 4,658-14·10. Business depression is universal, but we feel it more in Allahabad as it is losing its importance as the Capital of the United Provinces.

It is interesting to nnte that in 1904, when the sale-pro­ceeds.amounted Rs.7,814, the religious section closed with a debit balance amounting to Rs. 2,777, and the business section with a credit balance of Rs. 6,179. So it has been throughout the history of the Society. In 1905 the sale-proceeds amounted to Re. 9,652, and in 1907 it was Rs.23,450. No working capital was ever provided. There was a crisis during the Great War but we came out of it without much damage. Since then the world has been facing depression in one form or another. This has not left untouched the missionary societies including the Tract Society. We no longer receive any grant from what used to be called the Religio1l8 Tract Society, nor the $ 1,000 which we used to receive from the Milton Stewart Evangelistic Fund through the. late Mr. Blackstone. All this. has contri. buted to our financial difficulties.

The more encouraging fact lies in the increased support which the Society has received. This rellects the special efforts made by.the President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer during the pistyear. PaYIllents frow. ~sio,!ary IJ.ocietiesare the

i.( 21 )

largest- in five yea.rs, and it is hoped -that these -indicate an improvement in mission finanoes, and that too increase may continue. There haa also been an increase in gifts from churches and individuals, and a generous special gift from abroad of Rs. 5,566.

As usual,t.he Lucknow railway bookstall operated at a loss. There was also a small loss on account of the Canning Road branch. In view of the fact that the r'3asens which have led the Society to continue the railway stall in the past remain, and the loss on the Canning Road branch is so small the Com­mittee have decided to give them a further trial.

Since 1932, the salaries of the staff have been subject to a cut of 10%. In many institutions, salaries have now been restored in full. Business conditions may not justify this in the case of the Society, but it should not be forgotten that the staff are continuing to make this sacrifice.

While the total financial position of the Society is sound, the need for working capital remains. During the year, private loans at 4% were secured, which have made a large overdraft at the bank unnecessary. This has resulted in a saving on interest, as compared with former years. The re­duction in total borrowings, howevel', has been very slight, and it is hoped that effort to reduce these will be continued. In the last Annual Meeting the General Committee approved the recommendation made by the Executive Committee that an appeal be made to all missionary societies and churohes of the area and to other friends, for speoial gifts to the am.:>unt of Rs. 25,000, to enable the Society to wipe out the bank overdraft and pay some of its more urgent bills, thus putting its current operations on a sound basis. There was some delay in the pre­paration of the appeal. It is now ready and will be sent out BOOn.

In this connection, the q,uestion of the continuanc,e of the Building Fund account arises. -This fund represents an' accu­mula ion of rent received on part of the building, and now amounts to about Rs. 10,000. There seems to have been no very forceful reason why this rent was placed in this special fund. Rates} t~es, renewals and-repairs on the entire buildings

have been paid out of general funds. During the depression, Rs. 6,418-15 from this account has been loaned to the general fund, with the approval of the Executive Committee, in. order to save interest. The Committees h"ve decided to make this a definite transfer. The balance of Rs. 3,600 will continue to be invested separately. As decided by the Executive Oommittee receipts of rent is now credited directly to the general funds of the Society.

The Balance Sheet shows that the position of the Society is sound, but does not present matters in as favourable a light as is possible. The total amount due to sundry craditors is shown as more than Rs. 5 t,OOO, but this includes about Rs. 10,886 in the Building Fund and Reserve Funds, not owed to any outside person. On the other hand, the buildings and lands are carried at a figure of Rs. 41,444, which is far below their present actual value. The way in which this- figure was reached may be of interest. The original cost was about Rs. 80,000, but the property was taken over by the Bank of Upper India at a valuation of Ra. 50,000, alid sold in 1884 to the Bible and Tract Societies for Ra. 30;000, each paying half. In 1913~ when the Bible Society erected its own building, it was recognized that the property was worth far more than the purchase price, but the Bible Society, in order not to make it necessary for the Tract Society to raise a large SuIn, agreed to sell· its share for Rs. 20,000. The valuation on the Tract Society books was then fixed at &S. 40,000, to which was later added Rs. 1,444,

the cost of aiditions to the Secretary's quarters. While the actual value of the property is now much more, it is probably wise to allow this Re,o-ure to rema.in on the b'loks.

W. B. HA.YES,

Hony. Tt'ef18UrBr.

This need of the hour is a challenge to missionary societies, whioh are at present not devoting by any means adequate attention to the 8ervice which the Christian literature pl'ogramme is rencWring, to re-examine the position, and to provide ~de<.luate funds for the wQrk of Ohristian liter~tul'e.

( 2~ )

This is the age of co-operative activities. The Revd. Alexander M oLeish, when addressing the National Christian Oouncil on the topic of Union enterprises and Oo-operative 'work, said:

HOo-operation has created a new field of missionary effort which is not yet adequately taken into the plans of the societies concerned. The financial side of such efforts is not taken seriously enough, and when something has to be cut down the grant for co-operative effort suffers first. This is not as it should be if it is admitted that money so spent is better spent than on many individualist efforts. Field bud­gets should set aside larger amounts for this type of work which is bound to grow in importance."

Onoe again we appeal for generous allotments in the budgets of missionary sooieties, so that it may be possible for the Sooiety to continue its work with confidence. If each missionary society in our area-Bihar, Central India., Oentral Provinoes, Rajputana and f.he United Provinces­were to contribute Bs 300 to Ra. 500 annually, the need would be amply met.

CONOLUSION

In concluding the report we have pleasure in appending the following words from the President of the Society :-

The Secretary has put before us a full and fair statement of the working of the Society for the past year. The Hony. Treasurer has presented a full Financial Statement for the year.

rrhis should cause us all to thank God that, in spite of so many difficulties, the work has been maintained at so high a level. The response to the appeal sent out by the 'Hony. Treasurer and myself is encouraging. I feel that, if more

of our people knew about the work in a more detailed way,

they would sup?ort it more generously. As I look on the needy field, white to the harvest, that the new, present-day India provides, I am more than ever convinced of the value of Ohristian literature in helping us to carry out the last will

( 24 )

. and testament and specific command of our only Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Hh Nama m'l.y we do our best to spread His Gospel by every fair means, of which Christian lit~rature is so important a part. M!1y each one of us take such a personal interest in spreading the Gospel by means of Ohristian liter­ature that our own field'of labour will be properly cultivated and sown and an abund<l.nt harvest of souls be reaped. May we carry our sheaves with us sc} that on that last great day we may have an abundant entrance into that city whose builder and maker is God.

As President of the Tract Society I wish to share with all those interested in our work and who have had, in one form or the other, dealings with our Secretary, Rai Bahadur N. K. Mukerji, who has served the Society for almost 33 years, the following resolution, which was passed unanimously and by a rising vote by the General Committee at its annual meeting beld on November 18, 1937:-

"The General Committee wishes to record its gratification at the honour shown to the Secretary, Rai Bahadur N. K. Mukerji, in his nomination to the Legislative Oouncil of the United Provinces. The service of wider interests than those of any individul society or mission is the duty of any Ohristian leader called to it. Mr. Mukerji has been called upon to serve ,both the Christian cause, in his work for the church of which he is a member, and for the U. P. Christian Council, of which he was for several years the secretary; and the public, formerly as a member of the Municipal Board, as Railway ,Special Magistrate, and now as a member of the Upper House of the United Provinoes Legislature, as well as in many other ways. The work of the Society has not been neglected because of these outside activitisd. On the other hand, the associations thus formed have proved of great benefit to the Tract Society itself, and, in additit)n, to Ohristian service to the general pub­lic. Mr. Muketji's work has proved of very great value to the Christian community. The Committee congratulates him upon the increased opportunity for larger service in this high posi­tion."
