Sarawak Mission. On motion of M. Dodsworth, Chairman of the Committee on General Conference Memorials, and seconded by S. M. T.hevathasan the following Minute was passed: "The Malaya Conference is happy to endorse the request of the Sarawak ( Borneo) District that authorization be given for tthe organization of this district as aMISSION./fhe work 'in Saraw<ik (Borneo) has grown to such a size that it is quite feasible for the brethren in this field

bAlLY PROCEEDINS. 15

to give increasing direction to the affairs of their own district. In addition to that, travel conditions make it impracticable for many brethren from Sarawak to attend the sessions of the Malaya Conference. It is almost 3 days travel by steamer from Singapore and the costs involved are prohibitive. (a) It would appear that this initial step in organiza,tion as a MISSION would in the next one or t\\'o quadrenniums make possible the organization of this field as a ;\lission Conference.

(b) That an enabling act be granted so that this proposed Mission may be constituted a Mission Conference if and when. in the opinion of the Board of Foreign Missions and the Resident Bishop, it is deemed advisable.

RESOLUTION No. 1

SINGAPORE AS AN EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE.

It is Resolved that:

We instruct our delegates to use all their influence to maintain Singapore as an Episcopal Residence. If this is not done we will ha ve to be supervised by some Bishop either from China or India. Our field has grown too much in the past two decades to allow this previous arrangement to be satisfactory in any way. If needed we will welcome with favour the possible transfer of Burma to the Southeastern Asia Area for their problems are closer to ours than those of any of the other adJacent fields. Singapore, because of its strategic location, its rapidly enlarging place in the eyes of the world, its importance to the British Empire, its importance to the

DAILY PROCEEDINS. 11

commerce of the world, deserves to be p-ermanently honoured as one of the Episcopal Residences. Our field is still too young, its problems still too new, its needs still too great to be carried Oll'

without the advice, the personal supervision, the presence of a sympathetic, understanding, able Bishop. Singapore must remain. an Episcopal Residence.

RESOLUTION No. 2

BISHOP LEE'S ELECTION TO THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENCY.

It is Resolved that:

We instruct our delegates to the General Conference to work for Bishop Edwin F. Lee's election to the General Superintendency as a mark of esteem and affection on the part of his co-workers. His tW9 terms in this large area as Bishop have proved his ability, demonstrated his administrative powers, and shown his vision for the Kingdom of God. He has in a remarkable way won the confidence of the three governments under which he has worked: the British in Malaya, the Dutch in Sumatra, and the Sarawak Government in Borneo in the Malaysia field, in addition to the confidence of the Philippines Government.

Indigenous leadership has come to the front in a striking way in these eight years with the result that the majority of the District Superintendents are Asiatic and other Asiatics are holdingpositions of trust and responsibility in the schools.

Self-support has been developed all over the area so that in Borneo as well as in Malaya several churches are assuming all of their obligations and the others are rapidly following their lead. He has given much thought and encouragement to the building programmes with the result that in his two quadrenniums he has dedicated no less than twenty-four church edifices and has seen twenty-two parsonages built.

The membership in the churches has doubled and that of theSunday Schools has increased by over 3,000.

l1e is not only beloved by the people called Methodists, but he has won the respect of all the communities and is welcomed with honour wherever he goes. He has had a great share in the work of bringing the various denominations together fraternally, and the building up of brotherly feeling and good-will. He has. kept himself alive mentally and grown spiritually and is in intimate contact with the rapidly changing religious situations in Asia,. Europe and America.

18 !\1ALAYA CONFERENCE, 1936.

Therefore, we feel we should enlarge Bishop Lee's opportuni-ties for service to the Church at large and s,how our appreciation by urging his election to the position of a General Superintendent.

RESOLUTION No. 3 POSSIBLE CHANGE OF EPISCOPAL ADMINISTRATION

MALAYSIA. _ It is Resolved:

That we instruct our delegates, in- the event Bishop Lee does -not return to this field because of conditions which we cannot foresee or prevent, that they convey to the General Conference our judgment and wishes, namely that there be appointed to this area

-another Missionary Bishop whose knowledg,-e of our situation is at -once intimate and sympathetic and who will not approach this task -as a perfect stranger.

Date of Voting 7th January 1936.

AMENDMENT TO PARAGRAPH 103(3) OF THE 1932

DISCIPLINE MISSION SUPERINTENDENT.

Whereas: It is often necessary for a Bishop administering a tield outside the United States to be absent from that field for a number of consecutive month~ each quadrennium and during- such time it would prove helpful and make for ,greater efficiency if some person could be designated to represent the Mission.

DAILY PROCEEDISS. ]!)

Therefore: We, the MALAYA ANNUAL CONFERENCE,. memorialize the General Conference to amend paragraph 103-section 3 of the Discipline so that it shall read:-

"A Bishop having supervision of a Mission Conference or an Annual Conference in a foreign or home mission field may appoint a missionary AS SUPERINTENDENT to whom may be committed specific responsibility for the representation of the Board of Foreign or Home Missions and of the \~loman's Foreign or Home Missionary Society in their relation to theindigenous church and also in co-operation with other recognized evangelical missions. Such duties shall be exercised so' as not to interfere with the work of the District Superintendents. This Superintendent may also be a District Superintendent where there are two or more districts. His responsibility shall be directly to the Bishop appointed to administer the work in the area and he shall also be expected' to make adequate reports of the work and needs of the field' to the Bishop and the Corresponding Secretaries of the Board of Foreign or Home Missions and to the Corresponding Secretary for that field representing the Woman's Foreign or Home Missionary Society."

MALAYSIA. CENTRAL MISSION CONFERENCE.

The Malaya Annual Conference respectfully requests the-. authorization of a CENTRAL MISSION CONFERENCE to include the work of the Malaya Annual Conference, Malaysia Chinese Mission Conference, Sumatra Mission Conference, and the proposed Sarawak (Borneo) Mission.

MALAYA ANNUAL CONFERENCE BOUNDARIES. The Malaya Annual Conference respectfully requests that the

Palembang District of the Surnatra Mission Conference, composed of the residencies of Palembang, L.ampongs, Siak, and the island of Banka be included within the boundary of the Malaya Annual Conference.

CHINESE WORK IN SUMATRA. Whereas': the Chinese Methodist Episcopal Churches in

Sumatra were transferred to the Malaya Annual Conference because they would be.a small group when the Batak churches united in the Batak Christian Church, and

MALAYA CoNFERENCE, 1936.

Whereas: the Batak Christian Church was not formed due to certain unforeseen difficulties arising among the other contem.plated constitutent parts, and

Whereas: the cost of transit for these pasfors to attend the .Malaya Annual Conference is large, and

Whereas: the Sumatra Mission Conference desires their :return,

Therefore: be it resolved that we, the members of the MALAYA ANNUAL CONFERENCE respectfully memorialize the

-General Conference, petitioning that body to enact legislation that the boundaries of the Sumatra Mission Conference be' so amended as to include the Chinese work in the East Coast Residencies of Sumatra.

RETURN OF BISHOP EDWIN F. LEE TO SINGAPORE. The Malaya Annual Conference deeply appreciates Bishop

Lee's co-operation during a period of unusual financial difficulty as well as his assistance in maintaining a successful programme of ,Christian education, evangelism, and self-support. He has successfully led us thus far, and with the many problems not as yet solved which he has studied with us, we feel that his presence is absolutely ,essential for the continued development of a constructive Mission programme throughout this general field. The contemplated

.changes in Borneo, best known to him; the work in Sumatra. now just taking root and expanding; the evangelistic and educational problems in Malaya; the newly formed Chinese Conference all 'require his counsel and his guiding hand. His intimate knowledge -of every phase of our work, his visits to almost every church and .congregation, his grasp of our situation, complex as it is and located under the protection of three flag:s, requires his return to our field. Therefore, THE MALAYA ANNUAL CONFERENCE respectfully requests the reassignment of Bishop Edwin F Lee to residence in :Singapore, and to supervision of this area.

January 7th 1936

On motion of M. Dodsworth the following resolution was -unanimously passed: "We also want to express our sincere appreciation of Bishop Lee's help-mate, Mrs. Lee. She has been a 'wonderful friend, a wise counselor, and an appreciative sharer in our many enter:prises. Her help- has been invaluable to the work among women in Malaya and all the girls know her as their friend. As she leaves with her husband for America we wish her 'bon voyage' and the opportunity to drink- deeply of the wells of living water so that she may come back and continue to bless us 'with her advice, her enthusiasm, her vision."

Reports of District Superintendents

REPORT OF THE ,PENANG-IPOH DISTRICT.

I t is with gratitude to Almighty God and with a deep sense of :appreciation of the co-operation of my colleagues that I present this my first report of the Penang-Ipoh District. .Jubilee Projects.

Jubilee celebrations have been held in many centres but the ,emphasis has been placed more on definite building projects which will .stand for all time to remind us of this Jubilee Year.

Shortly after the Annual Conference the New I poh Tamil Parsonage was dedicated. This Parsonage Home is second to none in the Conference and was built at a minimum cost. The New Penang Tamil Church was dedicated on Easter Day by Bishr;p Lee. Since that time the congregation has increased in size and the whole work of the Church has been stimulated. The contract has been signed for a New Church in Telok Anson which will cost about $6000.$3500.-have been subscribed locally. Bishop Le~ will lay the Corner Stone for this building immediately after the Conference.

The Perak Government very kindly gave us a new site for a .church in Taiping situated across the Street from our Girls School. The plans have been passed and the contract will be signed immediately after the Conference. $3600.-have been subscribed in Taiping. After many months of searching a site has been secured in Sungei Patani and plans have been passed for a church building costing about $4000.- \Ve hope to start building at once. The Penang Chinese Church after various attempts to secure another s~te has decided to build the new church at Madras Lane on the site purchased for that purpose. $9000.-is in hand and the $6000.additional has been subscril:ed. It is proposed to proceed at once with the new building which will cost approximately $15,000.- The congregation at Kulim in Kedah is very anxious to build a new church and as funds are in hand for this purpose we hope to be able to proceed early in the year with this project.

The contract has been signed for a ne·W' building in Sitiawan for the Anglo-Chinese School costing about $16000.- The Corner Stone for this building will be laid by Bishop Lee on .T anuary 13th. Plans have been drawn for an annex to the Anglo-Chinese School, Kampar, which will provide two additional class rooms and a hall. Over $800o.-have been subscribed in Kampar for this purpose. The Government has granted the Anglo-Chinese School, Parit Buntar, a site of five acres in the new Government Reserve and has also made a grant of $2000.-towards the building. This amount together with the funds already in hand will enable us to proceed at once with a


six-class room building, which will cost about $8000.-and the teachers of the Parit Buntar School have agreed to be rtrs'ponsible for an additional $2000.- - ,

A four acre site has been secured in Penang on Burmah Road opposite to Hill View Property for the Anglo-Chinese School new bUilding. We are expecting a grant from the Government which means that this project will be launched early in 1936. It is proposed to bu~ld a twelve-class room school which will relieve the congestion at Chulia Street and will eventually do away with these rented quarters. The new Clinic at Sitiawan was opened in March. This. building satisfies a long felt need in the community and already over 1200 cases are treated a month by M iss Dirksen in the new building~ The new bungalow for the lady missionary, Sitiawan, was formally dedicated on December 18th. Two new houses costing $300.-each were built for our Sakai Missionaries. At a meeting held in Jpoh in June it was decided to concentrate our work among the Sakais on the Cameron Highlands Road so we have now our two workers closer together and the work centralised. Evangelistic Work.

Although new buildings are essential our greatest need is to enlist new recruits for the Kingdom of God. The Chinese Church in Penang was greatly stirred by the preaching of Dr. John Sung. As the result of these meetings the attendance at the church services has greatly increased. The Anglo Chinese School Hall at Maxwell Road has been taxed to its utmost capacity to take care of the crowds which have attended the church services. Fifty-five preparatory members have already joined the church. Rev. Goh Hood Keng conducted a special series of services under the auspices of the Penang Union Epworth League in Wesley Church. Forty preparatory members have joined the church this year. Special services have also been held in Taiping and Bukit Mertajam. There is a real need on this district for more evangelistic effort in the churches and we hope that next year special meetings can be held in every centre.

Wesley Church, Taiping, was organised during the year. l\1r. Peterson has travelled 120 miles every week end to preach in this church. Twenty one preparatory members have been received. There has been an average attendance of 80 at the services during' the year. Mr. Baughman has consistently conducted English services in Bukit Mertajam every other Sunday which has greatly stimulated interest in the church there. Rev. Moi Poh Peng has stimulated the Chinese work in Bukit Mertajam, Parit Buntar and Nibong Tebal where regular services have been held and good' financial support given. Rev. Kingham Joseph has been resident in Nibong Tebal serving in the Province, Parit Buntar and Kedah. He has carried a very large responsibility and we feel that some· assistance should be given him in the way of another worker in this great area.

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS. 51

The Epworth Leagues on the District have all made progress this year. Penang Wesley League raised $100.- for the Home Missionary Society and has doubled its membership. Penang Tamil Fellowship has increased its membership. The Penang Chinese Epworth League has taken on new life with an aggressive pro-

:gramme. A new chapter has been organised in Bukit Mertajam. At Parit Buntar the Epworth League service held on Sunday evenIng takes the place of an English service. Several outside speakers ha ve been secured during the year. The Taiping chapter has been reorganised. The Leagues in 'Ipoh, Kampar, Telok Anson and

'Sitiawan have developed.

The Sunday Schools have made progress also. The Penang -District Sunday School Association held a Jubilee Service in the Town Hall in May which was attended by 750 Sunday School children.'Jihis organisation '. also conducted a very s.uccessful Teachers Training Class later in the year. We hope that a similar organisation can be organised in Perak.

Schools. There are 31 schools on this district, of which 16 are private

:schools. We are glad to report that all of these private schools -except the one in Alor Star, which has a high rental, have paid their way this year and are free from debt. In some cases these private schools are not taking advantage of the opportunity pre:sented for church and Sunday School work but it is hoped next _year each of these schools will have a Sunday School organised 'and regular church service conducted.

The Anglo-Chinese School, Ipoh, is justly proud of the Queen's Scholarship just awarded to one of its students. An All Methodist School Meeting was held in Ipoh with representatives from each of our Perak Boys Schools, competing in sports and a debate. The Anglo-Chinese School, nlok Anson, now has an enrolment of over 400 which is the largest increase shown by any school. The Anglo 'Chinese School, Penang, has decidedly gone ahead in all activities. The Annual Exhibit did great credit to the institution. 'Womens Work.

Our Girls Schools .ha ve all made a real contribution to the work of the church. There is an opportunity fqr women's work but we are sorry to say that there are only three Bible women on this large district. Several of the churches have made requests for Bible women. We trust that some arrangement can be made whereby more Bible women and evangelistic workers can be secured for this work. Work among the Sakais.

This interesting phase of our programme continues to arouse interest not only among our churches but among the general public as well. The two missionaries working among these people have


spoken in many of the churches and Epworth Leagues where they have always found a sympathetic hearing. Mr. Bimandjoentak in three months' time transformed the jungle into a garden. He is teaching these primitive people how to raise food· crops which will make them self-supporting. One .Sakai boy has left his home in the Sungei Telom Valley to live with Mr. Simandjoentak, in order to be under instruction. He has already gone back to his own Kampong on one occasion to teach his own people. Mr. Siantoeri conducts preaching services every Sunday and has many as fifty Sakais attending these services. Translations of the Gospels have been made into the Sakai language.

Patani Road Penang Tamil Work. This phase of our programme requires special mention. A

very fine piece of social as well as evangelistic work is being done among the Municipal labourers. Regular Sunday School and preaching services are conducted in the Municipal school. This programme is carried on by voluntary workers from the Penang Tamil Church. Conclusion.

Time and space will not permit me to mention the splendid work done in every church and institution, nor can every worker be named. However, progress has been made in all of our churches and schools. Every worker has done his part and has shown a fine spirit of co-operation.

We give thanks to God for the privileg-e of service in this field of challenging opportunities and for His sustaining grace during the year.

M. DODSWORTH,

Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE KUALA LUMPUR DISTRICT.

Introduction. A spirit of goodwill and happiness has been evident throughout

the District this year. The good tidings of Peace have certainly been evidenced in some churches and progress in many lines has followed. We have completed what I consider a successful.Jubilee year. I am reasonably satisfied, and greatly thankful to God for a year of joyous service. The Staff.

Mr. L. B. Terry of De Pauw University was appointed to the Methodist Boys' School and has found an effective place.for service in Kuala Lumpur. Uong Dung Sing was appointed to .the Seremban Chinese Circuit and has set a very high standard of service. After


following him around his Circuit I have been physically weary, but .spiritually uplifted. D. H. Yap went on leave to China in August a.nd Ng Huat Bee, retired, supplied very effectively to the end of the year in the Kuala Lumpur Hokkien Church. Illness has prevent.ed Brother Yap from returning. I have acted as Headmaster of the Methodist Afternoon School in his place. Miss Ruth Sherwood was transferred to Klang as Headmistress of the Methodist Girls' School. Her place in Kuala Lumpur is not easy to fill. Miss Treager went ,on leave in April and we welcomed Miss Mabel Marsh back to her old home, the Methodist Girls' School. Mrs. Peach has served temporarily as teacher on the Methodist Boys' School Staff since August. Tsen Fui Khim, a Local. Preacher, was appointed to Kajang. There has been a splendid spirit of Christian Fellowship :among all our workers. I express my appreciation herewith for their co-operation and Christian zeal.

'The District in General. Throughout the District the goals of our Jubilee year have

'been earnestly worked for, and gains not measured by numbers have been made. The Benevolences of the District have rapidly increased during the last four years from $625 to $784, to $1233 and this year we report $1500. Every charge has shown an in·crease in money raised and every pastor has been paid in full up ·to the end of the Conference year. It was a joy to hear the Treasurers' reports at the fourth Quarterly Conferences. This has been the distinct result of insistent education in church finance and wise stewardship. Eighty four new members were taken in during the year as preparatory and full members. ninety seven persons 'were baptised, sixty one of whom were children.

Port Dickson and Kuala Pilah still remain the weakest ,charges. The latter promises advance in 1936. I fear that the former is too satisfied-just sleeping by the sea. Port Dickson is fast becoming the Brighton or Atlantic City of Malaya. We would pray that it might bceome a Keswick or a Northfield.

The Seremban Young People's work is one of the most promising in the District-the Junior League, the Senior League, the :Sunday School, the Girls' Club, and the successful experiment of co-education in the A.C.S. are all worthy of high mention. Mr. 'and Mrs. Kuehn may go on leave with great satisfaction.

Klang has in every way progressed. There has been success'ful effort made in a very wide field of pastoral visiting among Chinese. Evangelistic services held in the latter part of the year 'were fruitful-the influence of the English preaching services and the Sunday School are increasing and there is a much better spirit of IChristian fellowship everywhere. The purchase of the parsonage 'site for Chinese and Tamil churches has been completed.

Sepang will certainly win for itself the name of the Sitiawan ·of Selangor, if Uong Dung Sing continues ·to lead it. One. feels

54 . ·MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1936.

like he is in another world when he goes to Sungei Pelek district. We now have a very energetic Foochow leader-. -they are raising· money for a Biblewoman and the English School is advancing.

Sungei Chua Village, near ·Kajang, under the leadership of Tsen Fui Khim has had a remarkable year: the Button Memorial school and church building has been completely repaired, costing some $650; all but $75 raised by the people-the church income in 1934 was $46, in 1935 it was $180, an increase of 250%. This school and church are really making an . impression upon that entire community.

The growing influence of Wesley Church, Kuala Lumpur, has been noticeable-Evangelistic meetings-energetic stewardsactive Ladies Aid Society-and good preaching have all contributed. The young people's work of al1 Kuala Lumpur yet needs assistance and guidance. The English-speaking Chinese youth of the city must be cared for-this number is constantly increasing. The Staffs of all three of the English day schools are entirely Christian, the last four teachers of the Methodist Boys' School will soon be baptised and received into membership.

The Methodist Girls' Boarding School has enjoyed a wonderful year in the beautiful Belfield Road dwelling. In all probability this Boarding School will remove to even better quarters in the near future. Miss Olson has carried very successfully a double load of evangelistic work and supervising the Boarding School. Gatherings of all kinds far and near, ask to be allowed to go to the Boarding School so that it has been a centre of Christian fellowship throughout the year. It is fulfilling a threefold purpose for Tamils, Chinese and Malays.

The Annual Dinner of the Old Girls of the Methodist Girls' School was a most unique gathering of young women. This Association will surely have great influence in Kuala Lumpur among the girls who pass through this School, which has a rare opportunity of great service to Malay womanhood. There are now 70 Malay girls in the School. I cannot over emphasize the wonderful oppor-· tunity, facing the Methodist Church in Selangor for service to the Malay people through its women hood in the towns of Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

Our Selangor and Negri Sembilan Day Schools have had a hard year in administration with Government restriction of funds. But 1936 and the future are more promising. We are assured staffs up to full strength for which we are thankful.

I have been greatly inspired and encouraged to note the quality· of service of a number of our Local Preachers. I am reminded in several cases of the type that responded to John Wesley's call, men inspired and zealous to preach and teach the Gospel, men of selfsacrifice, good men, humble men, poor in this world's goods, but rich toward God. I attribute much of this year's success in this-.


District to their service. Let me name six: Chin Pak Chin, Tsen Fui Khim, Tam Choon Khoe, Lau Keng Kong, Lim Ching Hwa, Lim Keng Leong. ,Our Jubilee.

We have celebrated our Methodist Jubilee on three occasions: in our Boys' School Concert in Kuala Lumpur, in a week-end of most inspiring meetings with Bishop and Mrs. Lee in July, and with three illustrated lectures in the District, using some twenty slides, recently made by Thomas Abraham-son of our honoured Samuel Abraham, our pioneer worker of Kuala Lumpur-of Methodism in Selangor. Throughout the year everywhere the churches have .shown evidence of a Jubilee advance in Evangelism, Benevolence, Building and personal dedication to Christian Service.

PRESTON L. PEACH,

District Superintendent.

THE REPORT OF THE CENTRAL TAMIL DISTRICT, 1935.

The Jubilee year has passed and I am grateful to our Heavenly Father that during my second year of work in the district I have had the privilege of travelling several times throughout the district so that I am now able to know the needs of the work of the Indian people.

The Indian people are widely scattered throughout the district --clerks and Government servants in the towns and villages, labourers and conductors on plantations many miles from any town. Our workers have had the opportunity of presenting the message of peace and goodwill which has been a great blessing to those who listened and lived accordingly. However, we acknowledge that there are many places where we have been unable to go owing to the lack of workers and funds and because of the great distances

. Churches. The churches in all stations and out-lying places have had a

good year. In many churches Jubilee celebrations have been .conducted with special programmes. These have been a real help and brought a knowledge of our work during the past 50 years to the minds and hearts of the people.

The regular church services, the church schools and in some places the Epworth Leagues have been of great blessing and help especially among the young people of this district. It is very diffi·cult because some of the stations are so far away from town~. The pastors, local preachers and exhorters have done their best to

"encourage and carryon work among the young people. Homes,

5G -·MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1936.

hospitals and estates have been visited. These visits have been of great help in the lives of people who are badly neglected in their spiritual life because they are far away from any church.

A large proportion of the estate labourers are illiterate and require much care and attention to' help them understand the ideals of the Christian life. Open air meetings and picture shows would certainly be of great value in this work. If we could get a lantern and a set of pictures to illustrate the Life of Jesus and His Teachings: I am confident that our message would not be in vain. These' people also need lessons in cleanliness, morality and the Christian ideals of a higher and nobler life., Our workers need more love, sympathy and co-operation to succeed in this great task.

A good deal of literature in Tamil, Chinese and Malay has been distributed by the workers. The Malay literature has been largely distributed by Brother Tan Kee Siang in Bentong and the· surrounding outstations. I believe that even more can be done. We have during the year distributed 21208 Tamil tracts. 1661 Bibles, 1668 English handbills, 2680 Chinese tracts, 165 Chinese Bibles, 3140 Malay handbills, 195 Malay Bibles, 4498 copies of the Light of Salvation. Several people have become regular subscribers to the Light of Salvation.

The parsonages at Bukit Rotan. Kuala Lumpur and Seremban have been thoroughly repaired. The expenses were met locally with the aid of small loans from the Mission. Part of this loan has already been repaid. A new church and parsonage are being~ built as a Jubilee project at Raub which is a growing town in Pahangabout 28 miles from Bentong where we have a Chinese church. This new church will be used both by the Chinese aI~d Indian people and English services will also be held. This work is the work of the Home Missionary Society. Brother J. D. Asirvatham and Mr. Tan Kie Siang with the aid of the stewards of these places are 10yal1y helping the work.

All churches .had special Easter, Christmas and Watch Night services which were well attended not only by the towns'p~oplebut by Christians from many estates. 61 infants and 32 adults have been baptised. There are 266 probationers. 745 full members, 1 7 church schools with an attendance of 41 3 pupils. Thereis one Epworth League with 4.5 members. There are 6 church buildings and 6 parsonages. The -district raised for the support of the ministry the sum of $3505.00: and for all purposes the sum' of $6880.00. We have raised a total of $469.00 for all benevolences. There is $120.00 more Jhan last year. Schools.

We have two sets of schools in this district, three under the management of the District Superintendent and two under the management of the Principal of the Anglo-Chinese School at Klang. These schools have done good work during the year and are free-

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS. 5'1.

from debt. The total sum of $7,725.00 has been collected as-school fees and the salaries of all teachers have been paid. The' total enrolment in these schools is 269. The attendance has been good and is on the increase in all these schools. Each school has. a Sunday School and is thus a great help in the evangelical work which we have to do. The pastors who are not teaching in the Day Schools should be allowed to come in touch with the pUpIlS and parents so that their work can be more effective. T!1us the' schools would indeed be an asset in both our educational and' evangelical work in this district. I greatly appreciate and thank the Rev. Paul H. Schmucker for his assistance and co-operation of the work in Klang.

We had the pleasure of entertaining Bishop and Mrs. Edwin F. Lee in Klang, Kuala Lumpur and Seremban. Their visit was an inspiration and help to all those who had an opportunity of seeingthem and hearing their message and we wish to express our appreciation and thanks to them.

In Seremban with the aid of the Rev. and Mrs. H. F Kuehn we were a-ble to raise for the work of Home Missions $150 of which the Tamil share was S50. I am sure with such help from: schools we should be able to raise more money for the work.

I cannot mention each worker and the work he has done but I wish to express my great appreciation and thanks for the loyalty and the careful way in which each one has done his work.

The Girls Boarding School in Kuala Lumpur which has 52 pupils has had a good year under the supervision of Miss Emma Olson. The majority of the girls are Tamils and attend the Tamil Church. The school has had a beautiful home for this year but there is possibility of a change in the near future. We greatly appreciate what Miss Olson is doing for the benefit of the school.

REPORT OF THE SITIAWAN CHINESE DISTRICT. The Sitiawan Chinese District was born at the beginning of

this year. It is a great pleasure for me to make the first report on the health of the baby District.

With great thankfulness to our Heavenly Father, I can say that the District is in good health for a spirit of co-operation and hard work prevails among the pastors, church officers and members who have made- the year a success. No doubt I have ,·made many .mistakes for this is my first experience as a District Superintendent,. but people have patiently borne with my mistakes.

All the churches in the District, except one, were by the appointments given new pastors. With such changes I began to-

58 -l\1ALA'Y A CON FERENCE, 1936.

worry about the work in the new District, but I said to myself, "I will let go my worries and let God guide me." The following J"eport shows that God has not failed me so far.

We have in this District one English School, one Chinese .School and eight churches with 435 full members. There is a ..decrease of 14 over last year's report owing to an increase of nonresident and inactive members. The total number of preparatory .members is 219, an increase of 87 and the total number of baptized ,children is 350, an increase of 107 One of the objectives for the Jubilee Year 1935 was to bring in one new member for each five members of the membership. I am glad to say that this District has reached the goal as suggested excluding the great increase of -.children.

The total enrolment of our Sunday Schools is 939, an increase ()f 359 over last year. In spite of the depression of business which is worse this year than last, the total amount raised locally for all purposes is $5108, an increase of $852. Praise be to His Holy Name! .Ayer Tawar Church.

This Church known as Horley Memorial has been for many years famous for its internal troubles and difficult problems. Under the leadership of Rev. Tan Han Kiat this year, these things have gradually disappeared. Since his arrival, the Sunday attendance has been gradually increasing. Many -members of his church have :said that no pastor before had worked so hard as he had worked.

The name of Loh Tiong Huat must be specially mentioned for 'he donated over $200 to buy a bell and to erect a bell tower before he passed to the next world in last June. He, a simple member not earning more than $40 a month, was an earnest Christian who generously supported the church and whose passion for souls was marvellous. Though he is dead and can not go out calling and preaching as he used to do, the bell which he presented is sounding every Sunday calling people to the temple ()f worship. We wish to see more members of this type . . Bruas Church.

This little town is more than twenty miles from Kampong Koh. For many years the church has not been properly

:shepherded. Mr. Chan Chee Leong who was appointed to take .charge of the work sometime in April, has worked hard to make the church move forward. Kampong Koh Church.

The largest church in the District has moved on slowly but steadily. It is not due to the effort of the pastor but through the co-operation of members as well as officers. Rev. D. p, Coole as the Principal of the Anglo-Chinese School, has a heavy task, :but he has helped me in the District work as often as his time

would allow him. Since he has been in Sitia wan nearly ten years, he knows the ins and outs of every church in the District. His. guidance and suggestions are very valuable. Rev. Tai Poh Tin our retired minister has done much toward the church work in Kampong Koh as well as in other places.

Every organization of the church is very active especially the Sunday Schools. Under the well trained leadership of Mr. D. C. Gong, my book-keeping teacher, the English Sunday School has. been well managed. Our children's Sunday Schools have grown very rapidly with a few months' time under the management of Miss Goh Gie Hing who has worked very hard until her numerous. illnesses. Miss Janet Chen-Jack of all trades-besides teaching in the Girls' School, has taken part practically in every activity of the church plus her work as President of the Epworth League' which is well managed. Mrs. Coole, as President, has well guided the Junior League, with the enrolment jumping from 60 to more than 80. The Junior Church withf Miss Dirksen as its leader has. done much good to young boys and girls. They have been greatly blessed with spiritual blessings. All these activities of the Church have contributed something towards Conference Benevolences especially the Home Missionary Society. Second Road Church.

The Ayer Tawar Pastor is also pastor of this church. Cottage prayer meetings have been started since the beginning of the year. This small church is famous for its church goers who are mostly women. They go to the church and have a short service even where there is no pastor to lead them. With a very small membership of not more than 40 including probationers, tbey were able to pay all the expenses of the church not taking even a cent fromthe rubber income, and have paid the Conference Benevolence in full. Simpang Ampat Chinese Circuit.

This circuit has three churches; Simpang Ampat, Lumut and Kampong Bahru, all shepherded by Rev. Shit Yu Shou who has. done faithful pastoral work, but the Sunday services in these churches were not well attended. Kampong Bahru has a very beautiful church building by the sea-side. The members there who see the need of proper care, have asked to be separated from the Simpang Ampat circuit and to form a circuit of its own with a pastor if the Mission will give a little support towards the pastor's salary. Brother Shih Yu Shou should be released from taking charge of this church as his health is not very good. He had a serious attack of malaria in September last which made him unable to do the work for nearly two months. Sungei Wangi Church.

This church has done well in many respects, has paid the' pastor's salary in full and also the Conference Benevolences at-

.$1.35 per member. Mr. Chen Pi Jen, the new pastor, graduated recently from the Nanking Theological School, having a new wife :and working in a new church, has worked faithfully for the Master. ICIiniC.

This is the only Clinic existing in our Mission in Malaya. The following is the report of Miss Dirksen, supervisor of the Clinic. '''The new building was dedicated by Rev. M. Dodsworth on March 22nd. Mr. Dodsworth, assisted by Rev. D. P. Coole and the .State Health Officer Dr. P. Evans, opened the building to the com-.munity. From that date until November 30th, 7894 patients have been given medicines and treatment at the clinic building. In 'addition to that, 1547 were given medicines in Pasir Panjartg and Third Road, making a total of 9441 patients treated since March ·23rd. The Clinic continues to be a very helpful worK among- the people of. Sitiawan and it enables us to get closer to the people 'for many have been helped." I want to add this sentence to her report "that outside people induding backsliders have been coming io church through the Clinic." By this we can see what the Climc .can do for the Sitiawan Community.

Miss Dirksen has worked very hard to keep the Clinic going. Besides the School work, she never torgets the church work. We want her to stay and work in Sitiawan as long as she can. District Jubilee Celebration.

The celebration took place on September 14th and 15th when Bishop and Mrs. Lee, Dr. Archer, Dr. Proebstel and Dr. Dodsworth were our honourable guests. The programme on .evening of the 14th rendered by the young people of Kampong Koh in the Methodist Girls" School attracted a large crowd of people. A pageant, entitled liThe Well of Salvation," directed by Miss Dirksen was well played and with the inspired address given by Mrs. Lee, the service was really worth while. On Sunday morning the celebration service in Pioneer' Church was attended by more than seven hundred people from different churches in the ·District. Bishop Lee addressed the congregation with an inspired message. The Jubilee Choir rendered several anthems which were appreciated by all. After the service~ over 200 people joined in a common tiffin with Bishop and Mrs. Lee at the bail of the Girls' School. Evangelistic Meetings.

After I moved to Sitiawan and be~an to do the District worle. 1 saw the need of a revival in this District. At each first Quarterly Conference of the District, I proposed to invite Dr. Sung- who was coming to Singapore to come to Sitiawan to hold evangelistic meet-1n,gs. and it was unanimously ag-reed by the people. We prayed -and planned for it. God heard our prayers. Dr. Sung- came to Sitiawan from 30th September ro 6th October. He has given 'all of our workers a new inspiration and through that many have come into the church and confessed Jesus as their Saviour.

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS. 6]

In conclusion, I like to thank all those who have prayed for me and given me good advice. May the year 1936 be a better year bringing more souls to the feet of our Master.

REPORT OF MALACCA-NORTH JOHORE DISTRICT.

The year, 1935, was a busy one. It was also full of blessing. In January there was the grand programme it} Singapore for the

Conference Celebrations of the Semi-centenary of Malayan Methodism. Later on, we had the District Celebration in Malacca from 29th to 31st March. This was the combined effort of three different districts, namely, the Singapore, the Southern Tamil, and the Malacca-North Johore. 1:he pageant entitled "The Morning Light," prepared by Mrs. Lee, was shown here also, and resembled very closely that shown in Singapore. The success was due to Mrs. Blasdell who took great pains in directing it.

As it \vas a Jubilee year, we put special efforts into evangelistic work in this district from May through July. 1\1r. Chua 10k Han .conducted evangelistic meetings in Sungei Bahru for 4 days. Mr. Lim Keong Eng did the same work in Sungei Rambei for 6 days and also in J asin for 4 days. I. myself, held meetings in Tangkah, Segamat, Tampin, Bukit Gambir, Serom, and Bemban for a total of 37 days. Rev. R. A. Blasdell helped in all these places mentioned above.

Dr. John Sung came over from China and conducted several big -revival meetings in Malacca from 13th to 19th September. Over six l1Undred people confessed their sins; 174 Bibles, 105 New Testaments 'and 46Q portions were sold during six days. I am glad to state that -our people have revived in Bible-study. in prayer, and in testimony. Twenty-three out of the 94 new converts in all churches were received 'on probation recently. I f the preaching bands continue to do their faithful work, we shall see better results in the future.

The visit of Bis'hop and Mrs. Lee from 19th to 20th September .and their inspiring sermons were much appreciated by the Malacca people.

Two new church buildings, one for Simpang Bekoh and the other for Bukit Asahan, were erected during the year and both were dedicated by Bishop Lee on 4th August. The Bukit Gambir church built a school building adjoining the chapel. With the help of the Ladies' Guild, the Malacca Chinese Church has been able to pay one-third of the cost for renewing the roof of the church building at the beginning of the year. The Yuk Ying School at ,Tampin, under the instruction of Mr. and Mrs. Wong Ying Leong, held another concert in September for raising money from the community and contributed $300.00 toward the repayment of the church debt.


Rev. Yap It ,Tong opened Labia as a regular preaching place in June. The work was fruitful, but the chapel rent was exorbitant. :T:he Segamat Church contributed $43.00 for its start. Mr. Chua 10k Han also developed AI or Gajah as a preaching station recently. Praised be the Lord!

Mr. Blasdell did very faithful work in Serom and made this church growing and strong in numbers. T~he church in J asin has also· been growing, due to the faithful work done by the Bible woman, Lim Ai Choo, who takes care of the women's work in T'angkah, Bekoh~ and Bukit Asahan besides her proper ~work in .T asin.

Eight thousand two hundred and twenty-one Bibles and portions. were sold, and 45,145 tracts were distributed in this year.

This year has been the worst of the last three. Many people were out of work, and many business men lost much money. In. spite of the bad times we collected $511.00 for benevolences.

REPORT OF THE SINGAPORE DISTRICT.

There have been but few changes in the personnel of our district during the year. In July Miss Mary Olson requested to be relieved of her work in the Fairfield Girls' School and be given retirement so that she might help look after his sister, Elizabeth, in Hongkong whose critical illness required her attention. We are sorry to lose Miss Mary Olson after these many years of service in Malaya, and are sure that her many friends in this part of the world hope that she may return to Malaya for a visit before she finally sets sail for America.

In August we were glad to welcome Miss Carrie C. Kenyon back from leave and to have her take charge of the Fairfield Girls' School.

In October Miss Martha Gertsch arrived in Singapore and was appointed to the Fairfield Girls) School staff. She has also rendered very effective service in the Cantonese Church by helping the young people in that congregation. They are very appreciative of this assistance, since we had not been able to assign any missionary to that church at Conference time.

Mr. John A. Bird, who arrived in Singapore during Conference time last year, has worked in the Anglo:-Chinese School, and outside of school hours, has given freely of his time in helping the young people in the Sunday School and the Epworth League of Wesley Church.

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REI'ORTS. G3

On December 20th Miss Ruth Harvey left on furlough for a much needed rest. We hope that her year at home will enable her to renew her strength so that she can return to resume her important work in Malaya.

Our churches have all had a very good year. The Telok Ayer Church deserves special mention for having this year joined the ranks of those churches which require no Mission help to support their pastors. They began the year full of faith ~nd courage, and I am glad to say that at the 4th Quarterly Conference the Church Treasurer reported a comfortable credit balance on hand after paying all bills, including the total support of the pastor.

Wesley Church also deserves special c.re~it for the effort which has been made under the leadership of its pastor and Ofikial Board to reduce the debt on Wesley Hall. During the year they have paid off $2,750 on this indebtedness. Of this amount the Church Extension Committee made a grant of $1,000.

The Straits Chinese Church has also completed a very successful year in all its departments. Their Sunday School of over 500 members is the largest in the Conference; while this is a matter of great satisfaction it is also a p-roblem, since they cannot find sufficient class room space. If this Sunday School is to continue its good work some additional class room accommodation will have to be found.

The three congregations in the Geylang Church have, in their respective fields of labour, closed the year with many signs of progress. ,'Phis little church .is indeed a busy centre oe· activity not only all day Sunday, but throughout the week as well. We believe that in that part of our city this church is destined to play a roll of increasing importance.

The young congregation at Paya Lebar under the leadership of Mr. Chew Hock Hin has had the best year of its existence. Many difficulties have had to be faced during the past 12 months, but we feel quite assured that at the close of the year the condition of the church is distinctly stronger than before.

Our Cantonese, Foochow and Hinghua congreg'ations also report varied signs of success. The Foochow people especially have had a good year, and report that they are conducting two Mission Sunday Schools besides the one in their church. The Geylang Chinese and the Telok Ayer Churches are also helping Mission Sunday School work in places outside of their own church. T'his is a type of work which I hope may be expanded in many parts of our great city.

In Malacca our Church reports an unusually good year showing an increase in membership. Definite plans are on foot for the erection of a new building in Bickley Park. The 4th Quarterly Conference voted that this Church, inasmuch as it serves the total


English speaking community in Malacca, should be known as the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church. We believe that this branch. of our church will play an increasing roll in the religious and social life of that community even, as our other Wesley Churchesare doing in the larger towns of Malaya. They have, towards their' building fund in cash and subscriptions, a total of over $ 7,500 to' date. We hope that before the year is passed this new church will be well on its way to completion. -

All our churches have shown substantial increases in member-· ship, and with one or two exceptions all have come up to the' Conference goal in benevolent giving. A number of our churches, have been very greatly helped by the special meetings held by Dr. Sung during ·the latter part of the year. Many new people have' been won to Christ, and many nominal Christians have come into' a vital experience of religion and are anxious to testify for the' Master, as is evidenced by the many preaching bands operating in our city as well as by the number of prayer meetings being held in the Chri~ian communities. I t is our prayer that our Christian leaders will be able to conserve the good results of these meetings.

On November 10th, under the leadership of Dr. Means, the' Methodist, Presbyterian and Dutch Protestant Sunday Schools of the' city gave a special peace demonstration programme in the Capitol Theatre. This large auditorium was crowded with Sunday School children and interested friends. The programme rendered was· very greatly appreciated, and we feel that the effect of the gathering on the community was well worthwhile.

School Work: The statistics will show that our schools havehad a special year. The principals and teaching staff have given a good account of their stewardship.

In December the Methodist Girls' School, under the very efficient leadership of Miss Minter, staged a most interesting programmein the Victoria Theatre. This performance was repeated three times to satisfy the many people who desired to witness it. A few weeks earlier the Fairfield Girls' School also put on a very delight-ful programme in their own school hall.

Early in the year the work of adding three class rooms to the' Geylang Girls' School was completed. At that time the formal opening of the school was observed by a fitting programme. The total expense of this addition to the Girls' School building was paid by Messrs. Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par. We greatly appreciate the interest these gentlemen have shown in our work and are deeply grateful for this substantial help to our work in Geylang.

A new addition to the many activities going on in Geylang was the opening of a Chinese Kindergarten under the leadership of Miss Ruth Lim. This school meets in the afternoons and shows


many signs of progress. We believe that :t will render a distinct service to the children of that community.

The Paya Lebar School has had a change of leadership during the year. Now Mrs. Chew Hock Hin is the Headmistress, and despite many very trying problems the prospect for the school for the new year is very encouraging.

Sumatra Work: The work of our Chinese churches in Sumat:a has had considerable absent treatment so far as the District Superintendent is concerned, but thanks to the careful supervision given by the Rev. Ostrom, they have had a good year although the serious economic depression has made the church work very difficult. In spite of these drawbacks there are good reports from the larger churches, such as Medan and Bagan Si Api Api.

REPORT OF THE SOUTHERN TAMIL DISTRICT.

Johore Babru. The Anglo-Chinese School in Johore Bahru has had an average enrolment of 123 pupils with 5 tead~ers. }~or lack of accommodation no attempt was made to increase the number but every thing possible was done to raise the standard of education. The headmaster, Brother P. Athimuthu, is a graduate of the Madras Unversity and is ably assisted by his fellow teachers. The Mission loan has been refunded in full. The Sunday School with 40 pupils and Junior League with 54 members with a small Senior League are conducted by the teachers who are all Christians.

Brother J. J. Kovilpillai has worked eleven months and the work though small in the begin:~ir;R: has steadily grown. His circuit covers practically the whole of South Johore except the Kluang circuit which he supervises. There was one adult baptism, 3 others and an educated family in Batu Pahat are being prepared for" baptism. One one estate he has the rare privilege of preaching the gospel reguarly to 12 Indian Moslems. The Chinese and Tamil Christian nurses appreciate his English Prayer Meetings very much. The Church realised $186 by the Ingathering Service and has: contributed S80 for Benevolences-doub1e their quota. The tot~l amount raised locally is $805, a significant sum for a small congregation.

Kluang. Brother J. Devadason has a Christian constituency of 136 people, 64 of whom are adherents. The Church nti~ed $431 locally and the first Ingathering Service rea1i$ed $164. 6 Bibles and 250 Bible portions were sold and 3,000 tracts were distributed. No adult baptism is reported, due partly perhaps to


the m.oving away to other places of people who were under instruction for baptism. There are 10 educated Christian families in the town itself, which is the key town in the very centre of Johore State. The work needs strengthe.ning here.

Segamat. There are 6 congregations in this circuit at Tangkah, Sagil, Segamat and at the two divisions of Johore Labis Estate. $800 was raised locally to meet ministerial support and Benevolences in full. Five adults were baptised. Mr. V. A. Matthews, a teacher in the Government English School, is one of our exhorters and conducts an English service once a month. A Sunday School was newly started.,

The little estate congregation at Sagil raised $79 and has given $13 for Benevolences.

Seven probationary members from among the labourers were received by Brother A. Devadason into full membership. This is a . significant piece of work. Christian labourers come here from India from Mass Movement areas and others leave their homes for Malaya in their adolescent period before being received into full membership. Hence these two groups who form the ma-jority of Christian labourers have only a vague knowledge of Christ. Therefore if they are instructed systematically by all the outstation preachers in Malaya and received into full membership from time to time they can be made intelligent and aggressive evangelistic factors. Their unchristian customs and habits can be gradually removed and they can be taught to maintain their preachers financially.

Tampin. On the 28th July this new work was opened with Brother C. K. Thomas as preacher. Occasional English services are conducted by Brother R. A. Blasdell and Brother J. M. David. 3 Sunday Schools have already been started with 97 pupils, 90 of whom are Hindu children. 3 adults were baptised during the last 6 months and about 25 others are being instructed for baptism. More than 10 preaching centres have been established in South Negri Sembilan and North Malacca. There are 15 full members, 45 probationers and 25 inquirers. As this brother had done some Christian service in Ceylon before he came to Malaya he has introduced here one good method-preaching the gospel with the permission of the managers and assistant managers to the whole labour force of rubber estates in their morning muster or parade.

Malacca. Brother J. M. David is good in organizing Sunday Schools and is fortunate in having some Christian men as estate school teachers who, as exhorters, conduct Sunday Schools, and weekly services. There are 5 Sunday Schools with 116 pupils. ,The town church members have supplied picture cards to these estate Sunday School children. Regular monthly services are held in Muar. The Ladies Aid Society in Malacca is unique. They built a parsonage 15 years ago and paid for repairs during these

DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS. 67 ... . ..... .

years. Now they have shouldered the responsibility of refunding the Mission loan they had secured to make up the total amount in erecting a new parsonage in the Mission compound. The work will be started in a few weeks.

Singapore. There are three separate congregations built up in this town-the Town Church, Pasir Panjang Church and the Seletar Church which is composed of Christian people in H. M. Royal Air Force Base and the Naval Base.

Brother R. Zacharias has well estahlished the Pasir Panjang Church comp·osed of Pasir Paniang, Keppel Harbour, Tanjong Pagar and Havelock Road work. There are 6 Christian centres with a Christian community of 114 people. This area has about 3000 labourers. Henc~ there is great scope for work. 2 adults were baptized and this congregation of labourers raised $220 locally.

The building of the work in the Naval Base and the Air Base which contain about 130 Christians awaits the appointment of a preacher.

In the town church 2 educated Hindus were baptized one of whom is the direct result of the English Service started this year. There are 2 inquirers-one a Bengali gentleman with a Master of Arts degree, the other a Sikh gentleman with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Brother S. M. Thevathason assisted the pastor both in the Tamil and English services most loyally. He preached in several other churches in Singapore and rendered help in the Wesley Sunday School.

Brother M. Thangamuthu started his Lyrical Preaching in September after the Pastors Institute where he taught Indian music. He has been very helpful in improving the congregational singing in Singapore. He spent a month in and around Segamat on evangelistic tour. The estate managers have contributed towards his salary, travel and payment for musical accompaniment a sum of $123. He preached only on 5 estates. Many more estates in Johore, Malacca and the labour centres in Singapore await his evangelistic work. His presentation of the gospel with music is appreciated by the educated people as well.

All pastors and p·reachers excepting two in the District have been paid in full and the congregations have closed the year with a reserve fund. In this entire District all Christian labourers are being educated step by step to support their preachers. In Muar and Kluang services are conducted in the Presbyterian Churches graciously placed at our disposal while the Batu, Pahat meeting is held in the Primer English School. I record my gratitude to the Presbyterian Church authorities and to Mr. Clarence Isaacs for the courtesy they have extended to us. I am also thankful to Brother


R. A. Blasdell for helping me in conducting Quarterly Conferences. God be praised for the steady though slow growth of the work.

REPORT OF THE SARAWAK DISTRICT.

"Another year, another Conference, but the same old man on the job for the 32nd year. My 68th crossing of the China Sea."

With these words the Rev. James M. Hoover began his report on the Sarawak District at the previous session of our Annual Conference. Little did he or anyone of us suspect that so soon after makin?: the 69th crossin?: his body would be laid to rest in his beloved Sarawak and his spirit take passage to the Father's home.

When Brother Hoover called at my office before returning to Sibu last February we spoke of the possibility of my visiting his work during the year inasmuch as I had not up to that time had the privilege of making a journey to Sarawak. That visit was made much sooner than I expected. Upon the instruction of Bishop Lee Mrs. Archer and I started for Sibu on February 22nd to offer our assistance to Mrs. Hoover and to give attention to whatever district problems might arise. I remained there about 10 days, but Mrs. Archer prolonged her stay for almost 4 months in order to help Mrs. Hoover during that period of painful readjustment, and also to give what help she could to the work in and. about Sibu.

J have made two other visits to Sarawak during the year and would like to have given much more time to that work, but the demands of other tasks on my time have made that impossible.

In the month of February Rev. Lee Hock Hian and family' were transferred to Sibu where he took his appointment as pastor of the Masland Memorial Church. He has given a very good account of himself there during the year as is evidenced by the fact that this church gave more than twice as much for pastoral support this year than it did the year previous. The congregation has greatly increased. and the church is in a very healthy condition.

Brother Lee Hock Hian has given freely of his time to the work of the district. I am indebted to him, to Brother U ong Ging Hoe and Brother Summers for holding the Quarterly Conferences and Communion Services outside of Sibu during the year. Loyal and valuable help has also been rendered to the district by Brothers Lin Kay Cheng, Ling Lee Kong and Luk Soon Seng.

During the year two pastors have come to us from ChinaMr. Uong Gie Ceng from the Foochow Conference, and Mr. Ling Ce Se from the Hinghua Conference. We hope that the transfer of these two pastors from their respective Conferences to the

DIS11<ICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS. 69

Malaya Annual Conference may be completed at this session of our Conference. These two young men are entering into the work with much enthusiasm, and give encouraging evidences that they will be successful pastors.

During the latter part of September Rev. G. V. Summers and family moved from Singapore to Sibu. During the months they ,vere in Singapore Mr. and Mrs. Summers gave all their spare time to the study of the Foochow dialect, and after these few months in Sara wak, are now beginning to feel somewhat at home in the use of that language. The Summers have received a very hearty welcome in their new field of labour bqth by the Chinese and Europeans. Their new task is full of many important problems, but we believe that they will approach them as wise and sympathetic workmen. They are entering into a great heritage, the outreach and the responsibility of which, we feel, they are becoming increasingly conscious. In order to deal wisely with the problems which they shall face this coming year they need the prayers and sympathetic support of their fellow-workers. With this assurance, and with the splendid foundation laid by the Hoovers we believe they will be able to carryon with every hope of success.

His Highness the Rajah of Sarawak had a special bronze memorial tablet made and attached to the front of our Sibu church as a memorial to the Rev. James Hoover, the first missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Sarawak and also as a testimony of the Rajah's personal regard for him as a friend. This tablet was unveiled by the Resident of Sibu at a special gathering held in front of the church early in December at which all the local Government officials were present.

In June a very successful Preachers Institute was held in Sibu under the leadership of the Rev. H. B. Amstutz, assisted by Bishop Lee, Rev. Summers, Rev. C. E. Fang, Rev. Paul S. Hang and Rev. Lee Hock Hian. This Institute was made doubly successful through the co-operation of our Methodist Book Room which sent Rev. Paul Hang with a large supply of books and Christian literature which was greatly appreciated by our Sarawak preachers. During this Institute one day was given over to a mid-year session of the District Conference under the leadership of Bishop Lee. One of the pri~cipal items on the programme was a discussion of the proposal that during the coming quadrennium the Sarawak District be organized as a Mission.

Our Annual District Conference was held in Sibu December 18th to 20th with about 150 members present. Considering the limited amount of supervision given to the district, the reports from most stations were very good. Extensive repairs on church and school buildings have been carri~d out in all places. Three new church buildings have been erected. Over $5,700 was raised locally for this purpose. There was also a very marked increase

70 ,MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1936.

in the amount of self-support raised on the district. Three hundred and twenty-five children and 101 adults were baptized.

Considerabl~ time in the District Conference was given to the discussion and adoption of a 5-ye'ar programme for the wo'rk in Sarawak as outlined by Brother Summers. This programme aims to develop a better trained ministry, full-time pastors in the churches, a system of religious education in the day schools, organization of Sunday Schools and a programme of self-support in the churches and so forth. . .

Under Mrs. Hoover's leadership the Sibu Girls' School has had a very successful ye.ar. The annual closing exercises and graduation programme were held ·December 16th in the 'Sibu church, before an audience of over 700 people. The products of this school constitute a living monument to the splendid work of Mrs. Hoover. Both the European and the Chinese community speak in terms of highest praise of its graduates.

I wish to express my very sincere appreciation of the valuable help Mrs. Hoover has rendered to the district work during the year. Her understanding of the problems and attention to detail has been of great value to me. We can understand at least to some degree the burden of loneliness which she has had to carry during this year and can, therefore, appreciate the brave and loyal spirit she has shown in order to complete her year's work there.

What of the future? With the departure of the Hoovers an epoch in the history of our Mission work in Sarawak comes to a close. They have laid well the foundation; now it is for others to continue the building of a living church and a Christian community in that land. To the Hoovers was given strength and wisdom to meet and solve the problems that arose during the period of their labours, and the splendid work which they leave provides abundant testimony of their successful years of service. Let us pray that to their successors there shall be given an equal supply of wisdom and strength to meet the changing problems of this growing Mission field.

Report of Standing Committees

and Boards REPORT OF THE COMMITIEE ON EDUCATION.

I. The Committee records with pleasure ,lnd satisfaction that the general improvement in the financial condition of the country and of the Government enables us to face 1936 with lighter hearts. The drastic reductions in the Government grant-in-aid during 1934 and 1935 have now been removed and we shall return to a more normal financial position as from January 1st 1936. The more 'prosperous state of affairs has also led to a greater number of applications for admission to schools in 1935.

2. ,T1here has recently been a certain amount of newspaper criticism of Mission Schools and the employment of alien Missionary teachers. Friendly expressions that have come to us from various sources indicate that t'here is no change in the widespread confidence in which our schools are held by the community at large. We have received an assurance from the Government that there is no intention of making any change in its policy of supporting Mission Schools. \Ve have been further assured that this policy is actuated not merely 1'1y the fact that such school5l operate on lower rate to Government but also by an appreciation of the special value of such schools in their contribution to the moral and civic stability of the country.

1. (a) In 'view of the fact that there has been now and again conf llsion in the minds of some members of the general community and perhaps even of our Conference members concerning the Mission's financial share in the Educational Programme of Malaya we invite attention to the following figures which have been prepared by the Mission Treasurer and the T'reasurer of the 'vi. F. M. S. covering the years 1920/1934 inclusive. The year 1920 has been taken because this was the beginning of the revised scheme of grant-in-aid.

(b) During these fifteen years the Board of Foreign Missions has contributed a total of $867,517-and the \V F M. S. has contributed a total of $1,339,5 12.-which makes a grand total from Mission sources of $2,207,029.-

(c) A comparatively small percentage of this money has been raised locally but the major amount has come from Methodist Mission appropriations, partly for buildings by the W F M. S. and for orp'hans supported by the W. F M. S. but mainly in the support of Missionaries who were working full time as teachers.

Cd) In arriving at these figures no account has been taken of overhead charges (i.e. for the time spent and the expense incurred by the local administration and by the administration in New York in conducting the business affairs of our schools.) 'Phis would reach


a considerable amount and, in any business system of accounting, would be a legitimate charge on the finance of the schools.

4. We recommend that the Malaysia Commission on Religious Education formulate a basis on which' we may more accurately compute the number of Christian pupils year by year in 'OUT day schools for preparing the Conference statistics.

5. (a) The Committee draws attention to its recommendation o()f January 1935, namely "That a committee be appointed to study the history and the original conditions of the T~ust Funds now held by Schools and! to make regulations for the administration of such Funds."

(b) The Committee repeats its recommendation and asks lor the appointment of this committee.

Bro. and Sister A. Simandjoentak have been withdrawn from Sungei TeIom Valley and stationed again in their former station in Perak in consideration of their health and with a view to concentrate the work in one centre. One Sakai boy, Bah Prah, from Sungei Telom Valley, is a boarder with Bro. A. Simandjoentak and is being trained for becoming our first Sakai worker among his own people. Indeed, he does return to his people in the Sungei Tlelom Valley during his holidays and witness for Christ. The Simandjoentaks and the Siantoeris suffer a great deal from malaria as they have to live among the Sakais in the midst of the forest.

The following are the office bearers for the year 1936: S. S. Pakianathan (President), C. E. (Fang (Vice-President), ]. A. P. Oswald (Secretary) and Yang Ngim Djin (Tlreasurer). Bros. M.

President, Home Missionary Society.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH.

We give thanks for a year of work within the Church in .Malaya which has resulted in genuine progress and improvement and success in so many directions. We are grateful for the devo·tion and co-operation of our workers which have made our Jubilee year so successful. Our cause is God's, our powers we dedicate to Him, and to Him we look for strength and guidance and inspiration to carry forward our task of publishing the glad tidings of His Son .and of confirming the faith of believers and uniting their efforts in the building of His Kingdom.


General Observations. 1. We record with pleasure the general activity throughout

the Conference in the matter of the building of Churches and Parsonages. Some of the impetus' has undoubtedly been derived from the Jubilee year, but we believe, also, that it indicates a wholesome desire for more dignified and more serviceable buildings in better surroundings.

2. We note with satisfaction the earnest effort put forth by pastors and local Church Officials to secure Benevolences at the increased rate. We would again record our conviction that increased information with regard to the causes to which these Benevolences go will result in a ready and more intelligent response and increased giving.

3. We believe that steady progress is being made in the' general intelligence of our members in the elements of the Christian faith and the usages of the Methodist Church. We would continue' to urge our pastors, however, with regard to the necessity of giving adequate instruction in these matters through preparatory membership and other classes both to those newly converted and to those' who seek admission into our Church from other denominations, that we may have a membership enlightened in regard to the fundamental elements of the Christian faith and the polity of the Church so as to secure the greatest possible loyalty in conduct and practice.

4. There has been a gratifying increase in the enlistment of laymen in the work of the Church during the past year. This gives rise to the serious need of training of these workers in the continuance of etrective work. If this work is to be of long duration, as we hope it may, study classes must be organized. The Epworth League is admirably fitted for such study classes, and we urge upon the Officers of the Epworth League and upon Pastors to see that such classes are organized early in 1936. Classes in Sunday Schoof work, general and personal evangelism, stewardship, Public Morals, Missionary activity at home and abroad, are only a few of the possibilities of training, which would lead to greater enlightenment among the laymen of the Church and the increased effectiveness of lay workers.

5. Unknown preachers are appearing in increasing numbers from abroad, and are requesting the use of our buildings and thesupport of our pastors in conducting religious services. The benefits ~rising from such meetings have often been doubtful, and we urge' pastors and local officials to give permission only to preachers who are personally known to them or who carry certificates from dependable leaders of the church in the countries from which they come. Consultation with the District Superintendent before giving permission will often also be helpful.

REPORTS OF CO.I\1.MITTEES.

6. The efrorts of the Secretary of Christian Literature to secure a wider reading of religious literature in English and the vernaculars has been very commendable. We believe that there is a better response from pastors and local officials in the use of Christian literature. Still, there are many who appreciate all too little the valuable assistance of literature in Christian work, and even the literature racks provided by the Committee on Christian Literature either are not used at all or are hung up and left without further attention. Changing the literature in these racks from time to time, encouragement from the pulpit or in private conversation to read the literature, and above all, perhaps, the appointment of a Secretary of Good Literature who is genuinely interested in literature and is willing to give some time to the promotion of reading it, will increase the usefulness of literature in the work of the local Churches.

7 Evils, new and old, continue to afflict the country, bringing distress and corruption upon the people. They work their way insidiously into our Church groups and deaden activity and destroy faith. At this point our Church manifests abject helplessness. While we should cry aloud and spare not, we allow the years to pass by while evil spreads its attractive net and our unsuspecting and unwarned people are caught in its meshes. We are grateful for the start which has been made in the Malaysia Message to voice a protest against prevailing conditions. This should be supported and strengthened by every possible means. We again voice our opinion, however, that the Church can never 'Successfully cope with evil in its many forms until a group of devoted men and women are found who will be willing to give time and thought and effort to the promotion of enlightenment and the enlistment of our Church membership in the cause of Public Morals.

8. We would commend the Board of Ministerial Training, and the Registrar in particular, for the efforts put forth in the Course of Study and in the Pastors' Institutes to bring our ministry to a reasonably high standard of efficiency. We urge again our pastors and local leaders to be vigilant for candidates for the ministry and to encourage their early entrance upon the Courses of Study prepared for them. We view with especial concern the present shortage of candidates for the ministry to care for our English speaking- congregations. We would record our conviction that usually it is better for candidates for the ministry to work as pastors in this country and enter the Courses of study of the Conference before going abroad to attend Theological Schools.

9. Greatly increased activity in evangelism has been witnessed throughout the Conference this year, and we have seen the possibilities in this work for the permanent enrichment of Christian life and the strengthening of our activities. We urge that steps be taken in every conl!'regation early in the year for an adequate programme of evangelism, making use of local talent or calling in help from the outside, seeking to maintain this work on a regular


and systematic basis, not occasional and sporadic. ". We have noted with satisfaction a return in m'any places to the early practice of Methodism in the organization of laymen into Preaching Bands. We believe that these should be maintained where already started' and that laymen should be organized into such bands where this has not already been done. We believe that the permanence and effectiveness of the work of Preaching Bands requires that they be organized as an integral part of the Church organization and that a responsible and sympathetic leader should be appointed by

.. the Quarterly Conferences to direct this work and report on its activities to the Quarterly Conferences. The purposes of Evangelism is to declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to move people to a decision to follow Christ. It is not dependent upon methods. For this reason care should be ta~en not to stifle its sensitive spiritby insistence upon anyone method. "All things to all men that by all means we may save some" is still its motto.

10. There is evidently carelessness or lack of information' in the reporting of statistics of local Churches. We would call to the attention of District Superintendents and Pastors the necessity of following the directions in the Discipline in this matter so as t(} secure uniformity for the Conference, and we would especially" advise the careful reading of Paragraph 60 of the Discipline in' this connection.

1 L We believe that the training of the young people of our Church is not only advisable but imperative. The future of our Church depends upon such training. We would therefore urge thecareful survey of existing Sunday Schools with a view to understanding their present needs and means of meeting them, in order' that our Sunday Schools, English speaking and vernacular, may become a greater force and a more effective instrument in thetraining of the future members of the Church. Recommendations.

1. That the Committee on Public Morals be constituted a' working committee instead of a standing committee, and that the Cabinet in making nominations for this Committee give especiall

care to the selection of persons known to be interested in PublicMorals and qualified and willing to work at its progr"amme through-· out the year.

2. That the ,Conference officers of the Epworth Leagues berequested to emphasize a programme of Study Classes in all the' Chapters of the Conference.

3. That the Commission on Religious Education be requested' to survey as far as possible the needs of our Sunday Schools, especially those of the vernacular congregations, with a view to' more effective organization and the establishment of training classes~ for teachers.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

4. That our District Superintendents and Pastors exercisegreat care in examining the credentials, gifts and programme of' unknown preachers and representatives of educational institutions, before granting letters of introduction or recommendation, in most cases writing to the superintendents of other Districts or pastors of' other Churches rather than giving a letter ~o the workers concerned, (2) that the use of buildings and the support of officials and con-· g-regations be given only after consultation with the District Superintendent, and (3) that carelessness or inattention to this matter be considered a ground for reference to the ConferenceRelations Committee.

MALAYAN CHRISTIAN COMMITTEE OF COUNSEL AND REFERENCE.

Resolution on the Transfer of Members:

"That this Committee, having regard to the primary im-· portance of concentrating all available Christian forces and resources· on the evangelization of the non-Christian population of Malaya, expresses strong disapproval as a general principle of any attempt on the part of ordained or lay Christian workers actively to-persuade any bona fide members of one denomination to transfer their allegiance to another denomination but, recognizing that members of a particular denomination are frequently compelled' to reside for longer or shorter periods in areas where the ministrations of their own denomination are not accessible, recommends, that such members should be encouraged (a) to seek and practice fellowship with any Christian body affiliated wit~ this Committee, which is regularly operating in their district, and (b) with thesupport of a letter of commendation from their own nearest minister to apply for such rights and privileges and accept thecustomary obligations of permanent or temporary membership as' may be consistent with the principles both of the body to which they belong, and of the body to which they propose to attacltr. themselves.

ASIATIC PASTORS' BUNGALOW COMMITIEE.

Your Committee reports that the bungalow has been used .during the year by pastors, supply pastors and Bible women. The rent collected from lay people who used the building was $31. The outside of the building has been oiled with solignum. There i~ a {feticit of $3 o.

This year the building is to be painted inside which will cost $160. There are about 96 churches in the Conference and if each -church pays $2 a year, the usual rate, through the District Superintendent, it will amount to $180 a year. This amount together with the rent collected from lay· people will be sufficient to meet the current expense. Therefore the Committee appeal to the District Superintendents to help them in collecting the dues and arrears.

We recommend Brothers C. E. Fang, Shih Yu Shou, Fred David and D. p, Coole be appointed the Local Committee of Management with C. E. Fang as chairman and D. P Coole as treasurer.

REPORT OF THE COMMITfEE ON EVANGELISM.

It is significant that in the Jubilee year evangelistic work has been very well stressed. With pleasure and in gratitude to God, the Almighty, we make mention of the many series of evangelistic meetings conducted throughout the year in various Churches, Boys' and Girls' School~, Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools by Brothers John Chua, Lim Hong Ban, Lim Keong Eng, M. Dods-

worth, H. B. Amstutz, Goh Hood Keng, Mrs. M. Dodsworth and Dr. John Sung. The result has been gratifying. Many conversions, awakening of Christian lives and the formation of Preaching Bands to carryon the work initiated by Dr. Sung and the others reported. We recommend that these Preaching Bands be guided wisely and sympathetically by the pastors.

With a view to help the bigger boys and girls in our Middle and Secondary Schools to be acquainted with Jesus Christ, the Saviour, we suggest that special meetings be conducted every year in all of our English and Chinese Schools. The young people ",ho decide for Christ would naturally join the Sunday Schools, Epworth Leagues and the Churches. 'vVe would suggest to the Principals of our Schools that ways and means be devised to acquaint the· young people in our upper classes with the various pastors who, in turn, should take advantage of the opportunities offered to them hy the principals. Thus the schools and the churches can be linked together more and more with profit.

In the Tamil Churches and among the Tamil peopleChristians and non-Christians the gospel was presented by Brother L. S. Samuel, a Lyrical Preacher from India, and Brother M. Thangamuthu by means of Kalachepam-lyrical preaching. It is hoped that this form of presenting the gospel, will become more and' more inspirational and thus be the means of reviving the Christians and winning the non-Christians for Christ. We suggest to all the' Churches, Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools, particularly to the Tamil Churches that the services of Brothers M. Dodsworth, Timothy M. Huang, C. E. Fang-, E. Ostrom, S. S. Pakianathan, Andrew Chen and Goh Hood Keng be obtained for evang-elistic' meetings. If some approved Tamil evangelist could he invited from India with the advice of Rev. H. A. Popley it would prove profitable. .

Opening and conducting Sunday ;,chools by the young people' of our Churches, Sunday Schools and Epworth Leagues in suburbs and non-Christian centres will help foster evangelistic spirit in our youth and will benefit the pupils. Open air me~tings can also be held with profit, young people helping,in singing, in some definite centres systematically.

We suggest that the Palm Sunday be observed as Decision Day in the Sunday Schools.

May the Lord help us this year to carryon the evangelistic work still more with vigour and enthusiasm and to lead many souls to the Lord.

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF COMMITTEE ON

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE 1935.

:-Literature Sales. The year 1935 has been a good year for the work of the

-Committee on Christian Literature. In spite of the financial depression in the salaries of most of our workers, teachers, missionaries, etc. the work of the Committee has shown steady progress for the year. The sales of literature through the Book Room have amounted to over $11,000 or at least $1,000 more than for the

_ year 1934. The Chinese department of the Book Room has enjoyed the best year of its existence. Rev. Paul Hang has enthusiastically and industriously promoted the sales of Chinese books at all the Pastors Institutes and has been very successful in arousing the interest of our pastors in the sale of Christian literature to their church members. As evidence of this prosperity the Chinese department for the year has sold over 4500 books, 831

::sheets of religious pictures and has distributed over 20,000 tracts


Due to the pressure of work in Singapore it was not possible to take as many trips upcountry to promote the sales of literature as we should have liked. However one trip was taken, visiting all of the stations south of Ipoh for the display and sale of literature. Mr. Mun Tong, the assistant in the office, was very helpful in this matter and greatly helped to promote the sales of books through our English schools. We hope to further develop this phase of our work next year. One visit was made to the Pastors Institute, Penang, where literature was sold in English, Chinese and Tamil.

The Religious Book Club which was inaugurated at the beginning of the year has had a good year with a membership of 36 subscribers. For the small fee of £3 each member of the Book Club-is entitled to select a fine religious book each month which is mailed to him free of charge. As soon as the book is returned at his expense he may draw out another book. Many have expressed their appreciation of the facilities of this library.

The Malaysia Mosaic which was published as our Jubilee book, g-iving 50 years history of Methodism, has enjoyed a good sale. Out of 2000 copies printed we have only 380 remaining in stock.

It is true to say that the publications of the Committee of Christian Literature are circulated to all corners of the world. Subscribers to our papers are found in every continent. The literature which comes in and goes out of our Book Room is a good example of the increasing contacts of an interdependent world.

LITERATURE PRODUCTION. English Literature.

The Malaysia Message has appeared ten times during the year. The first number, the Jubilee number, of 52 pages, 3600 copies, was distributed widely and the edition was soon entirely exhausted. The other nine issues were of 28 pages each, making a total yolume for the year of 304 pages. Practically all the articles have been original, written especially for the Malaysia Message. During the last 'half of the year some new features were added in accordance with the recommendations from the Publishing Committee. Two pages each month are devoted to world events and an interpretation of the month's news. One page is devoted to the treatment of' some social problem or evil. We are particularly indebted to Rev. Dr. R. L. Archer for a series of articles on Nommensen Apostle to the Bataks translated from the Dutch book by J. Hemmers. Rev. Ernest Tipson has contributed a series of articles translated jrom the Chinese "My Testimony" by Dr. John Sung. Our contributing editors have been very faithful in sending in material for their respective pages. We particularly want io commend the Editors of the Children's Page, of the Page of Meditations, of the School Page, of the American Letter and of Religious Education Page. We have been very fortunate in having two well known artists, Mr. C.


Jackson and Mrs. Lora B. Peet provide the Message every month .with very attractive cover designs. The income from advertisements has been larger than last year and has been a great help financially. The circulation of the Malaysia Message is now about 2300.

Of these 2300 copies:-

1516 go to school pupils in Malaya and Sumatra 100 go to foreign subscribers

25 to subscribers in the D.E.I. 28 to Rest Houses and Government oftlcials etc.

150 are sent out with the Tamil Supplement 86 for Singapore 92 for Malaya

and the rest are free or for exchange.

Malay Literature. The production of Malay Literature under the direction of Rev.

R. A. Blasdell has not Jagged behind in this our Jubilee Year. At mid-year we were confronted with the astounding fact that Parts lie IV, V, of Nabi Yang Berpengasehan printed in 1933 had been completely sold out and the reprint of these parts was urgently demanded. That 2000 copies each of these parts could be sold in two years had never been dreamed of, and no provision had been made for their reprint in 1935. At the mid-year meeting- of the Committee on Publications and Church Extension, 'an additional $500 was voted to make possible the reprints of these Shairs with the result that this year has been a notable year in the production of Malay Literature as well as in other ways.

We started our programme with the printing of a tract called Abdullah written by Rev. L. E. Brown of the Henry Martyn School, Lahore, India. It is a dialog-ue in which a Christian attempts to explain to a Jew and a Muslim the idea of the Suffering- Servant as portrayed in Isaiah 53. Besides the reprint of Shair Nabi Yang Berpenl{asehan Parts III, IV, V, we were also able this year to print Part VI of Shair Kerajaan Allah, thus completing that series, the other parts having been printed in 1934.

This year some contribution has been made to general Malay literature by the printing of two books which are not of a religious nature. One is called Adat Resam Orang-orang Puteh and was written by Dr. Shellabear. It is a general description of the conditions under which people live in England and America and their customs, includin2: a section on their re1i~ious customs. The other book is called Cherita-cherita dari hal Sang Kanchil. It is a book of stories for children translated from Sarah Cone Bryant's collection and printed first in Perkhabaran Melayu, in Romanized Malay.


The following small 4-page tracts have been printed during-' the year:

Permintaan Kapada Tuhan-

Puasa-

Agama Bagi Hati Orang-

All of these small tracts were first of all printed in Perkha--baran Melayu. .

Perkhabaran Melayu has made a monthly appearance and has· carried a large amount of useful material-religious, social, and moral to thousands of Malays to whom it has been distributed. 4000 have been printed each month and have been distributed by OUf pastors, colporteurs, and Epworth Leaguers. It makes a very' useful tract and is available in such numbers as are desired to any who are interested in distributing it.

Chinese Literature.

The Southern Bell, our Chiriese Methodist magazine, has: appeared six times during the year 1935. Five times as a maga-· zine of 34 pages and once as a double Jubilee issue of some 100' pages. In this Jubilee number (2000 copies published) there is· g:iven the history of each Chinese church of the Malaya Conference, together with a fine collection of pictures of churches and church' work. The attractiveness of this number reflects great credit upon the painstaking work of the editors. The circulation remains about the same as last year-1000. With the coming ofg-anization or the Malaysia Chinese Conference it is hoped that the Southern Bell will play an increasingly important role in the life of our Chinese' churches. We hope it will be possible to publish the Southern Bell' monthly instead of bi-monthly as at present. The editor, Mr. Andrew Chen, and his associate editors have worked hard to make' the magazine a success.

Tamil Literature.

The experiment of publishing a Tamil paper has met withunexpected success under the editorship of Rev. S. S. Pakianathan, with the assistance of Rev. S. M. Thevathason and Mr. A. Athisa-yam.' This magazine which started out with 4 pages soon developed to 12 pages and is now able to appear in a 24 page form. I believeour Tamil pastors are finding this magazine of great value to them in their work and that it is serving as a med!um of religious infor-mation and literary expression for the Tamil Protestant Christians. in Malaya. The editor gladly welcomes the co-operation of other"


,church groups. 3000 copies are printed each month, 150 of which are sent out with the Malaysia Message to Qur Tamil subscribers. With a very small subsidy of $20 a month, the Tamil Supplement is exerting a wide and increasing Christian influence.

'~Good Literature Week. Good Literature Week was observed in our Conference from

December 1 st to 8th with December 8th appointed as Good Literature Sunday. Special material was sent out to all the pastors as suggestions helping them to make the best use of this week and .especially of Good Literature Sunday for which a special service of worship was prepared.. We would like to have this week observed again for the year 1936 with even wider participation than was observable in 1935. We feel that our literature programme -depends primarily upon the co-operation of the local churches and that a special literature week is one of the best opportunities of educating the church members to the value and importance of 'Christian literature. This week affords an excellent opportuntiy to increase the subscriptions to our church magazines. We would -also like to call the attention of our pastors to the importance of appointing in each Quarterly Conference a Secretary of Good ·Literature whose duty it· is to co-operate with the p~stor in devising ·and executing plans for local tract distribution. Tre name of this man should be forwarded to our office 10 Mount Sophia, Sin~apore, so that we may keep him on our mailing list and help to provide the ,church with suitable tract literature.

~Colportage.

One phase of our work, that of colportage, needs to be re.emphasised every year. We have had the past year five colpor-


teurs employed by the Committee on Christian Literature. Two Chinese, two Bataks, one Christian Malay from S'umatra, one Chinese in Singapore and one in 'Kuala Lumpur, one Batak in Penang a~d one in Malacca. The Christian Malay from Siu1)atra worked wIth us several months in Singapore.

Our Colporteurs have sold over 20,000 Christian booklets and scripture portions during the year. They distributed about 41,000 tracts of free literature in Malay and about 15,000 in Chinese. We know that our colporteurs who are working with Malay groups find it a difficult field but we also know that the work they are doing is bearing some evident fruit. Our two Chinese colporteurs who work largely with Chinese groups have done much better this year than last. I believe we have a very faithful staff of colporteurs who are doing notable and difficult work and spreading the gospel by the printed page. We commend all of these men to your good graces and trust that you will further their work in every way possible.

Conclusion.

We look upon Christian literature as one of the most effective ways of extending the Gospel and of multiplying the influence of the church. Our aim in Malaysia should be to have every mission worker an agency and a distribution centre for Gospels, books, pictures and tracts. Therefore everyone should take advantage of the opportunity ~o visit the Book Room and to become acquainted with the literature that we have in stock. We believe that it is true to say that many of our preachers hardly know that there is a Book Room and certainly scarcely know of the variety of literature which we have for distribution and sale.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHRISTIAN LITERATURE.

1. It is recommended that Good Literature Sunday beobserved in all of our churches for 1936 on Sunday October 25th. If this' date is not satisfactory churches may use some date early in Novemher. That special effort be made at this time to ~ecure' SUbscriptions to our church magazines, and to promote our generat literature programme.

2. That the Committee on Christian Literature be divided mto three language groups-English, Chinese and Tamil to function as a working body throughout the year and that each language g-roup under its particular chairmail be expected to present at the time the Committee meets at Annual Conference the report surveying the work of that particular language group.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

3. That the Editor of the Tamil Supplement, Light of Salvation, be given the opportunity of travelling throughout Malaya visiting our Tamil churches enlightening them on the value of this paper as a medium of religious information with' the purpose of securing more subscribers, promoting circulation, etc.

4. That in each Quarterly Conference more importance be given by the District Superintendent and the Pastor to the office of Secretary of Good Literature. Just as the Sunday School Superintendent or the President of the Young Peoples Society makes his report, this man should be expected to report at each Quarterly Conference on his work.

5. That if the new Methodist Ritual in Chinese is not obtainable in China this Ritual be translated and printed locally for wide distribution.

6. That the new Ritual be translated into Taniil and placed on sale for general distribution to our Tamil churches.

7 That the Dean of the Pastors Institute be requested to set aside at each Pastors Institute at least one period for the discussion of Christian Literature.

REPORT OF THE MALAYSIA COMMISSION ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FOR 1935.

In reviewing the work of the Commission on Religious Education for ~935 the Executive Secretary wishes to record his appreciation of the ,vork of his associate secretaries, Miss Ruth Harvey, Secretary for \Vomen's and Children's Work and Rev. D. H. Yap, Secretary for Young Peoples \\lork. Miss Harvey as chairman of the Programme Committee has carried the major responsibilities for the development of the programme. Mr. Yap who left for China in August and who was therefore able to give only a half year to the work of the Epworth League and Young Peoples \Vork was' expecting to present his own report at this time but due to serious illness he has not been able to return.

In general I believe one can say that there has been a slow but steady development in the programme of Religious Education during the year. This we, can see partly from the statistics over a period of 10 years. Church Schools.

It is clear from these figures that in 10 years the Sunday Schools, have doubled in size and greatly increased in number and efficiency.

Leadership Training Classes.

During the year two very successful leadership training classes were held. One in Penang under the auspices of the Penang District Sunday School Association. This was Penang's first school, in which over 80 teachers were enrolled and more than 50 certificates earned for work completed. Singapore conducted its fifth school with an enrolment of 54. \Ve hope that other centres besides Penang and Singaporethis next year will see the very real opportunity which leadership training schools offer and that each District will organise such a school for their 1936 programme.

Two very successful Sunday School Rallies were held during the' year. One in. Penang again under the live District Sunday School Association which organised a Jubilee service and Sunday School Rally in the Town Hall in May at which 750 Sunday School children were' present. The Singapore Sunday School Rally held at the Capitol' ]1heatre on Armistice Sunday was unique in two senses, one as a demonstration of interdenominational Sunday School co-operation and' secondly as a most impressive and dramatic demonstration on the part of this cosmopolitan population for the cause of peace and international brotherhood. 1750 Sunday School pupils from 17 different SundaySchools packed the Capitol Theatre to capacity in a beautiful pro-gramme of worship and religious pageantry.

The outstanding event of the year was our first Religious Educa-· tion Conference for T.eachers held in the beautiful new boarding: school at Belfield Road, Kuala Lumpur, during the Easter holidays. Over 80 teacher and Mission workers gathered for 4 days of discussion, work and inspiration together. \Ve were fortunate in having almost every day school and many of the Sunday schools in Malaya represented at this conference. :llhis conference made evident the new interest in Religius Education on the part of the principals of our day' schools .. superintendents of our Sunday Schools and teachers from both the day schools 'and Sunday Schools. The need for this type of Conference' for our Mission school teachers was very evident and many expressed' the hope that such a Conference would become an annual event.

The Committee on Programme of which Miss Harvey has been· .chairman has prepared material and send out suggestions for the following special days: Easter, Mothers Day, Childrens Day, Armistic~ Day or for peace celebrations and for Christmas. . I n addition to thiswe have issued two bulletins on Religious Education which have been' circulated free to all those interested in the work of Religious Edu-cation in day schools and church schools. Such a bulletin specializing in Religious Education is probably a better and more efficient medium for helping our te<Jl"'hers than a special page devoted to this purnose in the Malaysia Messa~e. Miss Harvey has edited the Religious ~ducation Page of the Malaysia Message and provide<i

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 89'

some helpful articles of especial value to tea~hers working in this: field.

During the year a slight progress has been made in the development of materials. \Ve have now produced a set of over 100 outline' Bible pictures covering the Old and l'\e",\" Testament to be used in connection with Bible lessons in the day school and Sunday School. These pictures have been drawn by a \'ery fine artist of Gestelner Company and can be obtained in any amounts from the MethodistBook Room. They are very suitable for individual work especially for colouring and are inexpensive enough to be used by any of our" schools. A sample set will be sent to anyone upon request.

Eveland Seminary girls under the supervision of Miss Harvey have developed some model lessons for the first two quarters of the· year on the Old ,llestament. \\le hope it may be possible to carry forward this project. It is the conclusion of the secretaries and I believe the principals of our schools that our fundamental need in Religious Education is not more or better equipment, nor more or better pupils nor finer course of study or more suitable books, but a more intelligent and capable group of teachers. \Ve believe that the Leadership Training Classes and such Conferences as the Kuala Lumpur Religious Education Conference are probably the best means of helping our teachers to more adequately qualif v themselves for thework of Religious Education.

We are very sorry to lose the services of Miss Ruth Harvey for this coming year who has contributed so much to our work during thelast five years. During her furlough Miss Harvey hopes to have the privilege of further study in Religious Education so as to be able to· make a greater contribution to our work on her return. \Ve also regret that we shall not have the services of Mr. Yap as Secretaryfor Epworth League and Young Peoples \\fork for 1936. Mr. Yap, after a year of study in China, plans to return to Malaya to join our work again. \Ve shall lose a great deal not Gnly for the Religious. Education but for our Epworth League work by his absence.

\Ve hope that adequate provision will be made in finding suitablesuccessors for these two who have had the interest of Religious Educa-· tion so much at heart. It is with gratitude that we record an increasing interest on the part of our pastors, school principals, missionaries and teachers in the work, the programme and the principles ofReligious Education. We feel that this increased interest is our best asset for the future.

It is also with gratitude that we note how much more conscious. our pastors and church workers are of the importance of Sunday School work. I can refer to one Chinese church which after its many years of existence has for the first time this year organised a real Sunday School. This Sunday School is not only serving the communi-ty by giving the children <4 reli~ious training but it is serving the· church by providing a needed training ground for church workers and:'~


preparing young people to take an active interest in the work of the church. As a result this church is enjoying a real revival based upon a healthy growth. Several Sunday school superintendents have indicated how they are realising that the primary reason for the lack of life in their church is the lack of life in the Sunday School. As one Sunday school teacher said to me: "\Ve have discovered that before we can have a real live church we must have a real live growing Sunday School."

We hope that with the formation of the new Malaysia Chinese Conference more attention will be given to the problem of training religious leadership f017 the vernacular work of our Chinese Sunday Schools. Not very much attention has yet been given to this phase of our work. \Ve hope perhaps some special appointment will be made to see that the programme of Religious Education in the training of teachers for our Chinese Sunday Schools will be given increased emphasis during this year.

May the year 1936 be a year of real advance in our understanding of the needs of our pupils in our schools and in the ability of teachers and pastors to meet these needs. I t is our rrayer that all thOse associated with the Commission on Religious Education may have 'Some humble part in forwarding this programme.

'92 MALAYA CONFERENCE, 1936.

Miscellaneous Girls' Boarding Schools.

When I first landed in Singapore nearly three decades ago I was appointed to Nind Home where there were sixty girls in

:residence. I stayed eighteen months while Miss Blackmore was on lea ve. Then followed several years when I taught various classes

:in school for five hours a day and managed a boarding school on the side. Then for twenty years I was principal of a day school,

.and now for two years I have been back in Nind Home where · there are sixty girls in residence.

This looks like a demotion, for if a young girl fresh from .college could manage a boarding school of sixty girls a woman of ·long experience should be able to manage one with five hundred girls at least. But Malayan girls of 1906 were not like Malayan girls of 1936. In those days girls went out ]jttle, and they took

·only very genteel exercise-all intra-mural. They wore long sleeves, long sarongs, long oi:y hair severely and securely pinned 'in place with five great spikes. When they went to church we escorted them down the hill to Dhoby Ghaut where the older ones were loaded into a dozen rickshaws and shielded from the gaze of

· men by a black oil-cloth covering them to the eyes; and the younger ones marched in double file with a matron. Girls wrote and received few letters in those days, and their parents or the missies

· arranged all marriages. To-day fifty-eight of the sixty girls in Nind Home have short

unoiled hair; their school uniforms extend only to the knee, and their party dresses are split at least up to the knee.

The church is now farther away so they still ride to church, but in an open bus. Stamp-collecting and securing pen-friends in distant lands are like diseases and spread faster than measles and

. chicken-pox. The girl of to-day plays net-ball, sings in the choir, becomes a king or a clown in a play, teaches in Sunday School class, eats Eskimo pie ;-and nobody dares even to suggest whom

:sj;).e shall marry. In short-she is free. I felt more successful and more efficient at the end of my first

· year than I do to-day. Then I was ready to give advice; to-day Miss Dng, who is my right hand, and I are often asking it. Then I was looking for a bigger job; to-day I know my job is too big

-for me·.

In the conference there are six hostels where girls attending school may live. At the beginning of this work practically all the support came from America, but year by year these homes :Ire

.coming more and more to stand on their own feet. In Nind Home Singapore our hig-hest aim is to train girls for

-:noble, u~eful womanhood, but another high aim is to secure 10c~1


support for this institution so long cared for by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. Quite an advance was made in the year just past. Not only did the government for the first time in our, history give us quite a substantial grant, but (what pleases us more) twenty-six former girls of the home began to contribute toward its support. Most of these are giving regular monthly subscriptions. We also have more girls who pay for their board than formerly. Seven girls entered the hospital for nurse's training during the year.

2. In Malacca we have ninety-five girls. In this station two years ago Miss Sadler started a big project looking toward selfsupport. It is a combination of a poultry-farm, a truck-garden, a flower-shop and a fish-hatchery. To date the expense has been considerably heavier than the income, but the. project has advanced so far that every day the family of ninety-five has one vegetable from the garden, twice a week they have bananas from their own trees, once a week they have duck curry, and occasionally they have fried chicken and roast goose. Before long they will be able to catch fish in their own fish-pond-and then who wo_~ldn't want to board at Shellabear Hall!

They also raise turkeys and geese to sell and have more orders than they can fill. Quite a number of girls work for their boardbut when they work for it they do not pay for it in cash. For this reason the financial burden there is very heavy. They still need fences to keep thieves out-and other equipment, but the project looks hopeful.

3. In Kuala Lumpur there are fifty-six girls living with Miss Emma Olson. Of this number forty-three are Tamils, six are Chinese, and seven are Malays and in spite of the fact that some are Hindus and some Mohammedans all attend the Christian services and take part in them. Malay girls even took important parts in the Christmas pageant, and with the other girls helped to produce an atmosphere of reverence that all present felt.

This family has for a year been housed in a veritable palace; but alas alas the queen now wants the palace to live in herself. We do not know what the next address of this home will be but like the sparrow and the robin it has a heavenly father who cares for it and will provide a home.

4. In Ipoh the hostel group is very small, but it is entirely self-supporting and even has a bank account. There were in the home in 1935 four students and three teachers. Two of this number attended the probationers' class; all but one teacher attend Sunday School; all but the youngest belong to the Epworth League; all are interested in Christian activities. They get along well together and are a help to the church and a joy to the missionaries with whom they live.


5. In Sitiawan there are eleven girls living with Miss Dirksen. No more could be accommodated ip the old building. In November the new house was dedicated. This will house 20 girls, 3 teachers, and 2 W F. M. S. missionaries, if Sitia wan is ever so fortunate as to have so many.

Though Miss Goh Gie Hing was not well for some months she helped much with the training of the- girls.

This is a small group but it .affords an excellent opportunity for training leaders among the students of both boys' and girls' schools because our older girls attend the boys' school.

6. Penang the average enrolment was about sixty-two. Miss Craven succeeded Miss Urech in April and found things in good order, and a spirit of co-operation in evidence.

All the girls up to Standard five are studying Chinese and it is hoped that in a year or two these girls will be able to sign up for Chinese in the Cambridge examination. This group runs the school tuck-shop and eight girls earn their board by doing the work it entails. Most of the younger girls are Brownies or Guides and all the older girls are Ep Ivorth Leaguers. Three girls have become nurses during the year.

Most of these hostels, if not all, were much affected by Dr. Sung's meetings. Whatever objections any of us may have to Dr. Sung's teaching and methods we all have to admit that he is. indeed strong in some points where we are indeed weak. We planted many seeds that never grew till he came. We often expect spiritual growth where there is no spiritual life. We must guard against girls getting their heads in the clouds and their feet off the ground, as some did; but if we would pray and work more for definite conversions and definite personal testimonies we would have fewer worries about discipline and lack of funds, and more joy in service. May God direct us in the way of wisdom.

MINNIE L. RANK.

EVELAND SEMINARY REPORT 1935.

The year 1935 has been one of the happiest and most satisfying years in my work at Eveland Seminary. Fourteen students have been enrolled during the year, and a class of five graduated on December 16th. These .students have all had their Senior Cambridge before coming to us and have been good, allround students, and active in many forms of Church and social work in Singapore.

The Eveland girls have worked in the Straits Chinese, Geylang, Teluk Ayer, Tamil and Wesley Churches this year, also in the


Y. W.C.A. Blue Triangle Pioneers. They have willingly assisted in helping at innumerable church bazaars and various kinds of programmes, (at times the Principal has felt they were almost too much in demand) but they have learned to serve in various ways and we have been happy to have them do it.

It has been a real privilege to work and live with them, to help in building a home together with them for their student days, and we have frequently been made happy when those who have been with us and graduated in former years have returned to spend a few days with us. We hope that Eveland Seminary may be thought of as their "student home" by an increasingly large number of the graduates from our Girls' school throughout the Conference.

We feel that during the year the girls have come to appreciate the interpretation of Jesus teachings as bearing on every part of their lives. There have been troubled days for some of them as they have struggled to know the "right" in their relations to their homes, society and the church. But out of these troubled times has come triumph in Christian living. As the graduates go out to take places of responsibility in the Churches, the boarding and day schools of Malaya they need the encouragement and understanding of our pastors and missionaries. We feel sure that they will give of their best.

In closing this report I want to express my appreciation of the spirit of co-operation that I have always found on the part of missionaries and pastors during this term that I have spent in Eveland Seminary. The girls have been a joy to me. We, the girls and myself, want especially to thank Miss Jackson, Miss Burgess of the Y.W.C.A., the Rev. and Mrs. H. B. Amstutz and the Rev. Paul S. H. Hang who have so generously given of their time in assisting with the teaching. My best wishes go to my successor as she has the privilege of working in Eveland Seminary next year, and to the students you may direct to the school.

MEMOIRS. Rev. J. M. Hoover.

Tuan Hoover was that rarissima avis, a truly happy man. From an early age he knew exactly what he wanted to do, and to the end he kept doing it, undismayed by difficulties which might well have daunted braver men than he-if such could be found. To the end he kept his faith, his hope and his charitable love of his fellowmen; and surely that is happiness, perhaps the truest and most enduring happiness to which mankind can aspire.

He had his aim in life, and he let nothing deflect him from its achievement, or from the course which he had mapped out for himself. Discouragements, failures, disappointments-he had his full share of these during his long career, but never for a moment did he allow them to stand in his way. For him, obstacles existed only to be overcome; by sheer determination and force of character he successfully tackled every problem that came before him. His was the supreme satisfaction of seeing his life's work brought to fruition in his own time. Before he died he knew that he had not lived in vain. He knew that long years of endeavour had borne abundant fruit, and that success had crowned the task to which he had turned his hand thirtyfive years earlier; and this is a reward that is granted to fe\\,.

If ever a man can be said to have devoted his life to the cause of humanity, that man is Tuan Hoover. His was a practical Christianity which was not satisfied with purely spiritual progress, but which set itself to secure the happiness of his flock by combining spiritual ideals with physical welfare. He set himself to improve the lot on this earth of several thousands of his fellow-creatures, and he succeeded. \Vhat greater memoriai could any man desire?

The history of Tuan Hoover's work in Sarawak is the history to a great extent of the Rejang riv~r, which owes its present development very largely! to his effor~. He planted thousands of Chinese who, in their native Fukien, lived wretched lives on the border-line of starvation. to a new country, fertile and friendly, where under a benevolent Government, they could settle and prosper, and where their standard of living could be enormously improved. From the moment of arrival of the first colonist. he devoted himself, heart and soul to their welfare and progress. As the Foochow colony increased his labours grew but he was equal to every demand upon his time and good nature. He was here, there and everywhere, guiding, instructing and safe-guarding his people. His amazing energy never flagged for a moment. One day he might set out on a twenty mile walk to visit settlers in the rubber-growing areas; he would sleep perhaps in a Chinese coolie hut and the next morning he would set out on another arduous round, over hills, rough clearings and jungle. And then perhaps he would dash off down river in a motor launch to advise one

of his friends regarding a scheme for communal padi-planting, or the installation of a travelling rice mill, or a better method of manufacturing jelutong. Here a Church might be falling into disrepair through lack of funds; somewhere else the attendance at a school might be falling off as a result of the slump. T uan Hoover was off like a shot to advise, encourage and reorganize. Every detail of his Mission had his personal attention. Nothing was too big for him and nothing too small. Even while he was busy planning the spiritual and material advancement of thousands of Chinese, he always had time to attend to the troubles of the most humble member of his flock. He was never known to turn anyone away. and no--one who went to him for help and advice ever failed to come away comforted and encouraged.

I t was his gift to bring fresh hope to all around him. His buoyant optimism was infectious, and was one of his most charming characteristics. A visit from Tuan Hoover when one was sick or depressed was like a breath of fresh air on a sultry day-reviving and stimulating. He had that happy knack of being able to dissipate the blackest clouds with a few well-chosen words, and knew how to inspire in others that confidence that he always felt in himself.

Sibu without Tuan Hoover is somehow unthinkable, and yet we have got to accustom ourselves to it. The Island is filled with memories of him, and is stamped indelibly with his personality. Tuan Hoover in his khaki suit and khaki topee was a familiar figure. and one which will everywhere be deeply missed. Sibu's roads will somehow seem empty without him, and there is probably not -a house on the island that does not shelter someone who at one time or another has experienced his kindness, and who will therefore feel that in Tuan Hoover he has lost a real friend. He had a cheery word for everyone, European, Chinese, Malay or Dyak, and there is no race or section of the community but will feel his loss.

He has gone from us, but his memory will live forever in our' hearts, and it will live, too, in his achievements, and in the enduring work which is his greatest monument.

By H. B. CROCKER,

C hie! Secretary Sarawak Government.

I n the passing of Jim Hoover this Conference lost its most striking and interesting personality. Our church lost one of its loyal defenders. Christendom lost one of its outstanding missionaries. A unique Colonial Government lost one of its oldest and most honoured citizens. Hundreds of Chinese, Dyaks and Malays resident in Sarawak lost a counsellor and guide. You and I lost a true friend and Mrs. Hoover lost her beloved companion of 32 years. It is not given to many missionaries to have such dramatic careers in life or death as has had Jim Hoover.
