BAREILLY DISTRICT

G. B. THOMSON Dist'1ict Superintende;lt.

O.ur one aim in the past year was· UChristian Brotherhood." The result of negligi M

ence In stressing this, on the part of Indian Cbri.stians, is that we have no bortherhood, no communal stre~h; and further more wben the newer mass haptis!Ds take place our OWl} community does not have traditions, unity 01' cultural background sufficient to purge the newer addition in the rural environments,

We held small circuit meetings emphasizing the threefold bases of ourhrotherhood as Christian Jove, union, and FeJiowsbip. We were able to establish a Brotherhood Panchayat in each circuit where the Panchayat leaders boldly: urged aU to become "r~cc~ Chris,tians." completely breaking ~ith rites or ritua1s of the past, Rampore, P1l1bhit, BhoJipura, F"theganj West a'1dFaridpore circuits despitetbe fierce opposi~ tion of the old Brotherhoods, were a hIe to win tbrough and have now completely broken with the past.

One very important bit of work in our district has been a programme of Adult Literacy. Though it was our first year we are gJad to mention that 16 young-men, 7 old men and three women were taught to read and write. In this great task we got immense help from Mrs, Atkins and Revd. M D, Patial, and besides them each worker undertook to use this new method. And now the aim is that those who have already learnt may g(! and teach others. It is our hope that next year each worker wiJ I teach at least 20 iJliterates.

During the year, at 5 different places, Pilibhit, Bhojipura, Baheri. Faridpur and Ram· pur Training Institutes were hald where an aggregatf- of 400 village Christians were given a special course in Christian teachings. At the close the village Christians were examined. We consider this institute work most important. The love and trust created, the changed Jives, and the powerful witness of thf' bretheren are all the work of God. Many, of their own accord, stood up and said th~.t they would renounce their older rites and rituals.

. Statistic,; :-Probatione18 4886, Ful I Members 5025, and Children 5960; total number of Christians 15871. Within the year 57 werE: taken as Probationers. 26, as Full mem­bers. Baptisms 203. Deaths 226. The total c!Jllection raised Rs. 2,415/· 30 Bibles were sold. 3 1 New Testaments, 2379 Gospel p::>rtions and thousands of tracts were distribute ed. Fo.1l' rural fdrs were visited by binds for evangelistic work.

We are glad to have the Rev. A. P. Calton as Pastor of the Bareilly Central Church. This l'elieves me to devote my entire time for the district work. Thrice we were able to visit each circuit and live among our people as (lne of them. it is a great experience indeed to meet about 4,()OO people in the vi llages and (.0 be accepted as their real friend. On April 8th. Mrs. Thomso-] and l. in our old 1920 model Overland went to Kbuda Ganj a muhalla of Pilibhit city. For 14 days we gave ourselves completelY to the complete cleaning up of the muhalla, attemptine- to create an ideal ChrIstian vIlJage. We bad daily devotional worship services with them, decorated their houses, made soakage pits, washing drains ete Ooe rule was that eaci1 Christian should hke a dail'y bath. We even went to the extent of washing the Municipal dumping carts for them. Mrs. Thomson taught the womel folks sewing and embroidery. As it was the Passiun Week we taugt them ab!'>ut the death of Christ. One most amazin,r thing was the Community Dinner given by these muhalla peo;Jle to the rest of the Christians of Pilibhit.

On Easter Day we went to Barah Patthar Church amid great jubilation, each Christian taking a lig-hted candle in the early morning dawn to the Uhurch. l'he procession of ~OO viHage Christians started at 800 a m. at Nakhasa muhalla with the singing of Easter Hymns, "Oho piyaro Masiha jiya hai chalo darshan ko sakhi"-"Come comrades let us meet the risen Lord." The Church was brilliantly lighted by a thousand \!andles symbolic of heavenly light and glory. A hush felJ upon th£: audience as we bowed to worship our Master in silent prayer. In the afternoon we had another service in the Gaurishanker Church.

The District Conference was held from October 22nd. to 27th. at r ilibhit. About 64 village Christians came specially some from long distances. We also had 14 vil~age Christian sisters with us for the conference. Rev. and Mrs. Ogden led the devotIons on the first three days, Rev. IILDd Mrs. Rup Chand from Almora District gave a clear and humourous hut realistic view of Church Finances. Bishop Badley'S devotiond addresses on Faith were timely and convincing. Rev. M. D. Patial organised a school of Adult Education for an hour a day. There were 52 scholars, maleH and females. All took interest and at the examination 88 got prizes. Of the 14 sisters who attended scoool

BAREILLY DiS'l'RIC'l' 175

7 obtained efficiency prizes. This is merely a start, Rev. A. P. Catton gave a clear study of rural Church Finances. Rev. Yunas Sinha led aconseeration service which was an hour of searching and dedication, n the 27th. October morning-.

I am confident that God's living spirit is operating within the Church in BareiHy District, and will \ead us forward. ,

Our District Evangelist Miss Hadden writes us as follows: This year two schools bav3 been closed because there were not enough children

attending but other schools have been opened so that now, besides the Sadar Bazar Schoo), ~areil1y, we have twenty small schools in the district and in PiJibhit. A number of these h~ve not been in session the entire year so eX3rnin'\t~on results this yea,r have not been as good :we wou'd wish but we have several younger women teaching who are better acquainted with modern methods of teacb.ing and we hope tc) have better results in future.

The Municipality took over the Biharipur School in May. In theSadar Bazar School now we have sixty'nine enroHed and we shaH probablY engage another teacher.

The Barah Patthar Pr'operty at Pilibhit is close to where the Hindus gather for ~el~s Ylhich gives 'Us an opportunity of working with the non-Christians as well as the l,Jhrlstian!L

Bareilly Theological Seminary. In the 'jheo)ogical Semin::ry the total number of students is a little lower than

last year, bu" the number of Methodist students is about equal to th3t of previous years. The number of married famIlies is somewh~lt larger than last year. Three of Jast year's graduating class bave refueed to accept appointments offered them in the distri..:ts of the Conference. Others are working happily at their posts. The cJass that was'received this year is of higher standard educationally and intellectually.

During the year the staff has help~d at Inst!tutes in Bareilly, Kumaun. Garhwal i Ballia and Arrah districts; also in Young Peoples Institutes in Haldwani and Lucknow. in the Saharanpur Summer dchool and in a number of other centres, including a week of special meetings by one member as far away as Jubbulpore. Staff and students have maintained the usual work of worsbip and evangelism in Lluhallas and adjacent villages. This year has given 0_ portunity for greater emphasis on Rural Uplift work, with the new department and centres opened up for this through the Government department; our staff and students have been given speicialplace and re!ponsibility in this. '

A proJ:osal is under consideration for adding a year to the course of studies, to be used to give Teacher l'i!lining to our students In Insthmes and other ways the staff has stressed the matter oE Adult LIteracy, by demonstrating the recent methods, and getting teachers and some pupils started in the work of removing illiteracy from among the Christian community, Bareilly District de-nonstrates the practical fruit of such initial efforts wheLl followed up by di trict workers .

. Girls School tlareiliy. Miss G. HonneH r. ports that the School enrolment is increasing every year and she

now has 280 in school and 183 in the Hostel. There areflfty six boys in the school and ten of them live with the Girls in the hostel so we are trying to have coeducation and encouraging it as much as possible

We have organized two choirs of both boys and girls and one is of the smaller children the Junior Choir and the other the senior. but bot!1 help out with the chapd and church services and in entertainments. We hear from other schools that our girls make a good contribution in singing.

We have fortyeight girl guiders and they are very interested in their work. Lady Haig visited our scho!)l and appreciated a sbort programme which they gave. The girls have also gone to the Government High School and' co-operated with otber schools in g-iving vnriOUB entertainments. Each class is now preparing to give a cbapeJ Christmas programme. Each class also has an individual garden plot and thessedJings have been transplanted and there is great interest in seeing which 'can have flowers first.

The thirteen girls which went up for the A. V. Government Examination last year aU passed, and one received the distinct jon of being the eleventh in the entire province. She is now in Lal Bagh with a number of others. This year seventeen are to appear for the examination. ,

The children in the hoc::tel are improving in cleanliness and in obedience. They take much care in their personal cleanliness and also in keeping their rooms neat and tidy. Every Saturday morning we have a general fellowship meeting and the entire ichool is present. Here after a little singing and !:Sible Reading, letters from

176 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

our girls in various schools are read. Some girls are appOinted to write to those from whom we ha ve had letters from and thUB we keep in touch with tbem and they are also encouraged and interested in us. The proctors and the matrons give their reports of the work of the week. There has been marked improvement in the work in th~ hostel as no girl ever wan. that she should be reported here before the entire school. The rooms which a!"e the best receive pictures tor the week. If a room gets a picture for three weeks in succession then it Can keep the picture.

Clara ~waiD Hospital. 1his year has seen many changes in the hospital and its staff. Dr. Albertson

left for furlough in America. Dr. Chase Wiseman came to help out for two months and was greatly appreciated. !diss Sla,Y'ton was released for Kolar and left the first of November. We are expecting Miss Landon out to'take her place on the hosp~taJ staff. Miss Crawford arrived back from furlough the first of November and received a very warm welcome. Everyone bas been very gracious about helping out at the hospital. especially Miss HonneH, but we did feel the extra burden without a manager.

Dr. 1)' Abreu very generously and graciouly helped out in July and again when we so badJy needed help. Sbe did this quite without renumeration of any sort and we appreCiated it very mnch. A~ain she has corne forward to help us out now when there is no Doctor in view.

Our village work has been going on crutches. We have one very thriving clinic beyonu Atumanda. Fatehganj West clinic ill> open part of the time and part of the timt: closed. 'I'he new bus which we obtain in the spring has been a great help to us in every way. It makes it possible for a better team to go to the VIllage and for us to be able to bring patients back with us. Lt has proved very useful in the city work as well.

Work within the hospital goes on about as usuaL The number of major operat;. ions is on the increase and our dental work is increasing also. Other figures stllY aboat the same but show no cause for discouragment. If We can maintain an adequate staff the work can be taken care of efficiently and happiJy.

THE W ARNE ,BABY FOLD. Miss Bacon reports that the Warne Baby Fold has hlCld a good year in spite of many

hard things. The amount now received tram tbe W. F. M. C. no longer covers staff and servant; biHs. For the balance of this an 0 for all ebe that is needed we must look to "the contributions coming trom ,the conferences, to tees and to occasional gifts. These are usually small but aJl go to help make up what.is needed. The .BareiUy Municipality continues to give its yearly grant of Rs, 12U. The Indian Red Cross cO!ltinue their grant for the &hool of Mothercra1t.

Our annual Seer Day was held on October .21st, I he same day as our Board meE:ting, so Bishop HacHey and members of tbe Hoard were with us for the day. Supplies and cash that came in tor that day have aln(;unted to Re. 22B-2 O. We have been able to take in a goodly amount in fees thus making it possible for us to carry on. During the year the young people in the Ajmere cburch gave a drama and sent in Ra. 100 1;0 cover their pledge lor two years. The LaJ Bagh Girls tichool have recently given a conCErt for toe lSaby ~'oJd and sent us the proceeds, Rs. 1~3 11 o. This came just when we were in very great need O[ Eome supplies and ba1 no money with which to buy them. Earlier in I;he year Lady J:J.aig pI'esemed us with two steam cooKers which have been so grt:atly appreciated.

The past year has seen an Amerlcan trained nurse added to our staff thus mak­ing it possible to give mucb more supervision W the work of thestutle'lts in the School of Motbercraft. G90d reports continue to come to us regarding graduates who have gone out to belp build new homes.

BIJNOR DISTRICT. , ~~ N. HOLLISTER, SuptJrintendsnt.

One look.s forw,rd to a year of furlough and then when in it. he looks forward to the return to India. We are DO whit less ,glad to be back in the work of the North.lndia Cont.rence than we were glad to have the opportunitY,of visiting with loved ones in

BljNOR DISTRICT 177 the home.land. We arrived in Bijnor on September 11th. The brief contact of three months in the district does not equip me for reporting the work of the year. I can only touch on a few aspects of the situation as we see it. We feel that we stand in a sacred succession that through 79 years has sought to win this field for Christ. It'rom the Parkers to the Freys no one can measure, or even imagine, the sheer total of Jabour of Indians and missionaries. Or who can teU the influences of prayer and character in the unreported reaches beyond 1 he groups converted? If the years have brought great jor in the success and growth, they also hold heartbrea'·:s. from disappointments and faIlures. Whatever weaknesses exist in the net product of the years we rejoice that there is present, however weak a Christian community, and we would be spent, as was St. Paul, that "everything may be done with q, view to building" that community.

I wish tu express my grlititude to Dr. Weeks and to Miss Cox for all ttat they did i~ ad.dition to their already adequate tasks to steady and to forward the work of the dIstrict and hostel from the time that Mr. and Mrs. Frey were compelled to leave Bijnor owing to his serious illness.

More than most districts, and for various reasons. the Bijaor District has suffered severely fzom the "cuts" of recent yE'ars. The di ~trict work of the W. F M. S · .. as aJI but closed down three years ago, while the force 01 men evangelists in the district has been so reduced that in September of tbis year teere were left only thirteen men of ~1l grades. From .centers like Berhampur, NagaJ, Nurpur, Sherkot and Seohara, which until recently have been circuit centers with more tnan one worker. all effective workers have been removed and the thousands of baptised Christians left almost uncared tut'. In only one drcuit in tre district is ther\::! more than one preacher. Is it any wonder th~t the workers, bewilaered by the impossible task before them, ha ve lost heart and confined their efforts to very 1imit~d circlt!s 'I Is it surprising that there are so many inkaris? Had a decision been made five yeaf ago detinitdy to close down the work of the district within that period it would be difficult t) map a prog-ram more su.ccessfulJy moving toward that end t'1an that which has baen folJowed in tht!s~ years· It is not ye-t clear wbether or not a Church so drowned in neglect can be resus· citated and made strong. God's grace can perform miracles but delay does some times progress beyond recovery. The answer will lie not alone witb those in tbe district; it will be DEces::arv for the cabinet and the finance committees of the conference to make a detinite contribution toward recovery.

Our District Conference this year was limited to four days. Valuable help was brought to us all by Dr. Titus and Mr. Thomson. A program was adopted for 1939 w~ich provides a series of objecti {es for the year, among them definite aims in the program of teaching for full membership and chaudhris, which in the lone: run should help t9 offset the Shortage of workers. and also for the definite provision of regular worship services in at least two Dlanes by every wo-ker. These are simple things, but they will represent advance. .

After district conference, when most of the men had returned to their posts. I learned of a situation that might be fraught with serious conse-tuenees to our Chri:;;tian cummunity. Plans were reported to be well advanced for a large jalsa of the sweepers community of the di:.tdct, with the definite purpJse of securing the aIJegianee of the whole group, including tht:: Christians, to the cult {)f Valmik.. AppareJ.t.!y tne ground hlid been prepared for such a move, not only in the Bijnor civil district but also in some others. An assessment of Ra. 5 per fami Iy is bem~ rised in Bijnor and in Some other places to meet tl~e expen;:es. Representatives of thecommun,ty from other districts in the U. P. with a speaker from Lahore, were reported to have been invited to the meeting which is expected to occur in the. near future, though probably Jater than December 17th, which was the first report we heard After consultation wi th those w hom we could quickly contact we planned for jalsas among the sweeper Christians in eleven centres with a band of selected workers co-operating with the local pastor.for at least two days before the meeting in his cen~er TIl!: import;\nce of these meetirgs has proved to have relched far beyond the programs of the jalsas th mselves, which were in fact very simple and along- the lines of the Prem ~abha with local t;::lent baving a large part. Much more important bas been the discus~ion tn It has been g-enerated. Everywhere the futiJity of belonging to two biradal'is bas be~n urged; the actual contribution of Christ to the uplift of the depressed class-es-especlaUy to the sweepers, has been stressed; and an earnest appell to wholeheartedly follow Christ. was made since all reaJ and permanent uplift must come from within. from life, and cannot be gi ven from withollt. In any meeting that may be heJd a large number are Aure to bpeak up for the ChristIan Cburch and it is increasingly doubtful that the old biradarl. excepting only Bijnor itself. can outvote them.

Miss Peters left the district on furlough in June and Miss Hoath arrived to fill that vacancy in October. She has entered upon her work wit h ealnestness and a fine sense of the p'ossibilities. The work of the girts' school under Miss Cox continues to provide the chIldren of the distriet with Q good place for the early years of life. The fine spirit

178 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

of co-operation that exists is illustrated in the arrangement by which the boys eat at the girls' hostel. This plan is eeonomical but it also assures adequate supervision of this part of the boys' hostel arrangements while Mrs. Hollister hi away from Bijnor.

There is bard work to be done but we believe that he who commenced the work of redemption will himself complete it We are happy in the comradeship of co-operation which we have found and we shaH earnestlv pray and work: that the coming year may be one which the Master of the vineyard can bless.

BUDAUN DISTRICT. Superintendent, M. T. TITUS.

At the close of aoother year we lift up our hearts to God in thankfulness for all His mercies. Difficulti~s there have been, but with His heJpwe have gone forward, and overcome many of them. Whatever success we have had, has been due to God's guidance and help in the realizing of the objectives set befere us at the beginning of tbe year. Last year we clossd dIstrict conference with a new vision and new inspiration; this year we thankfully look b. ck upon ,. something accomplished, something done If, which nas given our workers a further incentive to improve on the work of the year just clcsed.

Our force w~s g-eatly strengthened at the begi nning of the year by the return of Miss Phoebe Emery from America with a new Ford V 8 in her o. pocket" all :reaay to start her third term in Bucaun district. We rejoice that· she can continue her work which sbe bad 80 well begun and carried on for two terms. There have been no other changes in our staff

At the beginning of January we started on the" new five year plan 'for financing the evanegelistic work of rhe district, which placed emphasis on solid work and achieve­ment, regardless cf educational qualifications or the size of a family. I am glad to report that on the whole there bas been greater satisfaction with this new plan than any we have yet had. There has been a real stimulus to work. No c;mal1 part of our successes this year has been due to this under God's guidance, and we live in even greater hopes for the future. .

In accordance with the plans for instruction of our village people1 and the buiJding of the rural Church we have consistently laid emphasis on the use of the invaluable Jittlebook, Dihati Masiki Ta'lim. The workers have taught this continually, preparing as many as possible for full membership and the chaudhri examination. We have fUl·ther supplemented this individual teaching with a series of Circuit Institues held tbroUlZhout the dsitrict. The result bas been most gratilying. We are gJad to report that ~1~ ptiS€d the 1uU membership course. and 137 toe chaudhri course. making 349 in al! who passed these I uIl courses. The chaudris aJEo came in to district conference in ioree for" cbaudbri day", and took part in a contest in the holding of worship servict;!s. One c(mpeted frum each circuit •••• and three prizes were given. 'lhere is a steady increase In the number of chaudhris who are holding regular services jor their peopJe.

Other stliklDg indications of the progress made in trying to tuiJd the rursl Church are to be j'ound in the following items. The total number of baptisms was 562 or an increase of 182, bl inging our total Christian community up to a figure of 17,310. Of these 4.049 are fulJ members with an increase of 336. Two years ago the number of Christian weddings reported was 7, last year ~5. aod this year 5~, and we now estimate that about ooe half of tee weddings in our community are now performed by Christian rJtes. This is a most gratifying improvement, and we anticipate even better resuJts next year. For years there has been practicalIy nothing given by the rural Cburcbe:3 fOl the general benevoltnces, and no great amount for pastoral support. Under our new finaDcial pJan we l1ave adopted the " vesEel of blessingJl for all our workers, end as many others as will take them. Result: this year we received Rs.43 from the circuits as compared with nothing last year, and an increase of 360 in pastoral support. There is every in­dication that both these items wit! he increased next year as the teaching on steward­ship goes deeper. For the District as a whole the total amount of pastoral supJlort raisedwas Rs. 2149 all compared with Rs. 1851 last year an in.:rease of nearly 800. The total collections for the year amounted to Rs. 3173 as compared with 2754 last year or an increase of Rs. 419. No large part ot this increase apart from the increase in the cir. cuits already noted, was due to the" sale" conducted during the year at various times by Mrs. Titus and her group of loyal helpers among the women and the teachers of the girls' school.

Our schools are holoing their own, and doing solid, steady work. Aside from the three :central boarding schools we have 36 village schoolS. In all we have 855 boys and girls in school of whom 714 are Christians. We are gJad to note that we have been able t.o make full use of aU the scholarships for Christian boys and girls provided bY the Government for this district. This has been a great belp to, the parents and to the

BUDAUN DISTRICT 179 schools as well. Again we wish to record our deep sense of gratitude to ~the w. F. M. S. for their large share in this educational work. Out of the 36 schools of the district all of the vllJaq-e schools numbering 33 are financed by the W. F. M. S. in ·additfon to the Girls' Boarding School in Badaun, The budget of the Baud finances only our central boys' Primary and Middle Schools. In the latter we note with gratitude that the num­ber of boys has cosiderably increased tl£is year and the Grant has also been increased so that the teachers have been paid their full salaries for more than a year now, with in~rease.s, But this has been possible only throug-h the most rigid economy. and the withdrawal of the free and balf-rate privi1eg'~s for the time being.

While we regret that we are notable to point to any great movements as is being done in other places; yet we are grateful for the real advance in the stengthening and building up of the church which we believe is taking pJace, We believe that a stroY)g, healthy, spiritual church can onJy come into existence as the members receive proper instructions in the things of the spirit and foHow the practices of the Christian way of life. We believe our people are slowly making prouress in the~e fundamental things .••••• and with a deeper spiritual, and oractical Cbristian life will come neces­sarilya life of witnessing and sharing in the ~hurch which will ultimately win otbers to Christ. Prol!ress in this way may be slow, but when it comes it will be real, and Jasting.

For God's help and presence we are deeply grateful. To Him be all glory and bonour t for it is His work.

REPORT. GARHW ALDISTRICT, 1938. H. A. HANSI)N, Superintend.ent

There is considerable excitement in Garhwal these days over the hartalsat'l/agraha and resignations that are taking place because the District needs a motor road and hi­therto has failed to get the Government help for it which it had hoped to receive· Garhwal needs the motor road badly-life would probably become a little easier in that difficult district if the road materialised. We symp~thise deeply with every proper effort to get it. But our main concern is with the Way, the Truth and the Life as it is in our Lord and what this can do for Gal·hwal. While in some respects the most trying year we have had it has also brat some very good things in our work.

Education.

In June all of our PrimarN' School teachers gathered for a week during Harvest Holiday for a Refresher Course at Chopl'a. This proved exceedingly valuable to all as a large staff of helpers from the plains supplementing our local forces filled the time with interesting and profitable cources. Major credit for the plainning and conducting of. the course goes to our retired Deputy Inspector of schools C. H. Chowfin Esq. His experience and understanding were invaluable. Those coming from the plains for toe summer whu helped in this course incJuded Rev. and Mrs. D. S. ChOWdhury, Miss Nathan, and Messrs. Eric and Edgar Chowfin, Benson Khiyalie and F. E. Gowan. Their enthusiastic co·operation was d~eply appreciated.

Our Big'h SchOll has shown a slight growth in enrQlment again. But the restric­tions of our budget holds the numb&r of Christian boys in the ho<.tel down to 32 and the High School teachers are not made an:y happier by the fact that they are taking a ]0% cut again in the year's salaries. Our Tenth class resu1ts improved, with two Christian boys passing this year and nine Hindus.

At Gadoli, with only 83 scholsrehips from America, Miss Doyle and her staff are doing their best to educate 104· boys and girls. In the Mic'dle Examinations all the ~ix girls sent up passed in the II nd dividon.

Property.

The settlement operations are still on and we are still engaged in defending our rights against unneighborly neighbors. Here a field and there a foot, here a hearing and tbere a trip, and so it gqes. Several mattel s seem definitely finished and we are in fulJ pos­session of the portions of the Gadoli Estate which our Rain neighbors tried to get. Various buildings are in very bad condition. A gift with wbich we had hoped to put several hundreds of panes of glass in the High school and to do some whitewashing long overdue had to be diverted to putting a new roof on the;Kanderi school. In a choice between roof and windows the case seems clear enough for the roof.

The Good News.

Much wondering and waiting had its reward when at the end of October Miss Stallard arrived to take up the arduous task of District Evangel.ist. Weare deeply grateful for

180 DISTRICT au PERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

this fine reenforcement for our work. She already knows enough about it to wish that we could instal a few thousand elevators to get up those .steep slopes. The use of our new set of Slides on the'Life of Christ with: the talks given in genuine village Garhwali is proving attractive to many in the \'iJJage. Each year finds our travels taking us to some additional pl~ee. This year we visited Beni Tal for the first time where our Methodist friends the Greenwolds occupy the largest estate in the Kumaun Division.

Captain and Mr.s~ Lang have again co·operated by giving a good gift to make possi­ble many weeks of continuous work with the pilgrims on the routes thru our District. at Srinagar and Lohba. Very many pilgrims were personally contacted. Eight of our workers were there from two t~ three weeks each in May and June. Thou3ands of tracts and gospels were given to the pilgrims and sold and on the whole the message was re­ceived appreciatively.

Following this work on the pilgrim route all the preachers gathered in our Annual retreat at Chopra. While we dealt with problems of the work a very large share of the time was given to the deepening of the spiritual life and ve all drew real inspiration and benefit from this closer contact with each other and our Lord.

Health.

, One of the results of the great Kumbh Mela at Hard war in April was a se.vere epi· demic of cholera. It reached many of the vilJages in Garhwal, being brot in by re­turning pilgrims. It became so severe in the vicinity of Pauri that our schools were closed for almost a month. The only fatality which affected our school intimately was the death of a servant in vne of our Hindu hostels. Fortunately for our Christians none of them contracted the disease.

A most unusual experience for Garhwal came when Or. Burchard of Brindaban and Miss Femstorm with a nurse and Miss Jordan from Bareilly came up and in the second week of September performed 52 operations. ~~ early all of these were tosiiectomies which had waited for some time to be done. Twentysix boys and girls ot Gadoli and twenty boys of Chopra hostel and four outside underwent operations. it was a t.remendous piece of work and taxed the facilities and personnel at Gadoli to the limit. The school house became a temporary hosl'ital. All bave come thru in fine shape and it is felt that our boys and girls should show considerable health improvemellt a& a result thereof, indeed, they have done so already. Garhwal is deeply grateful to the ladies who cama and to Miss Doyle for her predominating' share in the whole matter of arrangements.

Speaktngof our own health it will be enrmgh to say that no ten years in our exper· ience have hit Mrs. Hanson and myself so hard as did the ten m::mths from November of last year thru Sapternber of this. And yet we are both feeling better now than we have for a number of years and our gratitude for Liod's goodness and grace is greater than t-yer.

Visitors.

Last year we had the privilege of recording the visit of Dr. Donohugh to our diffi­cult district. 'fhis y~ar brot another very underst.1nding Secretary in the person of Mrs. Otis Moore. :,be al1:10 got out into the vlt1ages. It Was interesting to nole how the illiterate vilJageri Seemed to under"tand and appreciate her fine spirit when she spoke to them even tho they understood not a word she was saying. Our District Con1erence was greatly enriched by the presence of Rev. A. G. and Mrs. Atkins who were there for five full days ..

In the month of May Garhwal wa visited by the one wom,lD Minister in all the Bri­tish Empire and by her well-known brother. Mrs. Vijaya Laksbmi Pandit, Minister for Local ~elf Government and for Public Health and Pandit Jawahir La! l'IIehru who also came to our High School whele they spoke to a halJ p.acked fuB of students and neigh. bors. They were also in our home for breakfast and While we differ at some points in poli. tical ideology we gladly bear testimony totherichness and charm of their personalities.

For Others.

One of the real inspirations of our work in Garhwal is the fine young people and the progress they are mak ing. In the summer when they come hoine they usually please the public by some kind of hlgh grade dramatic presentadon. 1 his year it was LaJaHookh and Nat Damyanti. They think of others and not of themselves in this. In other ways too they show this disposition. This year Miss S~vitrl David sent the first H.s. Five she earned as a thank offering and this went to help provide for the going of our new Indian Missionaries to Africa. Others are showing the same fine spirit of practical gratitude, as in the case of the ManseWs and Alec Andrews.

The interest of the women in their Missionary Society and in their temperance wor~ is ~owin~. The first medal contest eV(!r held there . tOQk place thi~ year under

GARHWAL DISTRICT 181 their auspices and was largely attended and much appreciated, by both Christians and non·Christian friends.

The Junior Sunday School also under Mrs. Hanson's guidance is prospering. Besides the usual work this year, as a BPeci.al piece of handwork each made several cards for Christm9s on which they wrote' Bible verses. They have taken it upon themselves to distribute these cards among non-Christians whom they may meet on Christmas day. And to each recipient they will explain the Bible "erse and what Christmas means.

Ups and Do wns.

Statistics are -generally considered rather dull. But think how much worse they would be if they did not go up and down! Fortun~tely almost all of ours have gone up this year if only to a small extent. Our total Christian community has increased, with most of the new baptisms taking- place in the Nayar ValJey Circuit where several fami-1~r!!I rehte d to others of our Christia ns ha ve acceoted Christ as the best of a II ways. Our benf;:;-olences have ~one up, tho the fact that half of the workers' tithes are by ne.ces· saityand order of the Finance CommittE.'e given as District aid make it hard or fmpos-­sible for us to come up to the expe~tations of our good Conference Treasurer. Our re­cord on connectional collections has also improved considerably

In some parts of our District, Congress party and Arya S~maj are to a large extent synonymoufl. With the Congress coming into more funds the Arya work is also being intensified. Some of our Christians are most assuredly enduring hardship and severe pressure. But so far they have been holding out well. In spite of its difficulties and handicaps we consider our distri~t a wonderful field for the growth of His Kingdom. Our workers are faithful to that Kingdom. We are in constant prayer that the Lord of the harvest may make those of us who are the1'e at w01'k for Him more worthy and that He will also send forth more workers to help gather those precious sheaves.

KUMAON DISTRICT

Report for 1938. C. D. ROCFEY, Superintendent.

With its fellow hill district of Garhwal Kumaon shares the distinction of having the loftiest mountains and steepest roards. Its important business, administrative and health centers have enabled it to acquire a better road on which motor service makes travel much eaElier. however in certain important feature b um2.on holds a unique JlJace in our conference.

The only two active flour!shing leper asylums in the conference, the only men's hospital, one of the two hospitals for women, these are forms of Kumaon community service. When it comes to schools i.here is another striking feature. Considering boy's education, of the five conference High Schools two are in Kumaon, and two of the four Midile f'cbools. 'L'he only Girls' High school in the Conference is in Almora. urid the district also has two of the 9 Girls, Middla Schoo's. This makes Kumaon uniquely a district of institutions, giving the advantage of a band of skilled and capabl e leaders. and the disadvantage to the superintendent. of having his interests greatly div.ersified. and needing to co-ordinate the interests involved.

In the matter of Sadar or Central self-supporting churches also Kumaon stands in a class by itself. This is not Raid hy wa y of boasting but to caU attention to the type of Jeadership required tor the district. Of the 16 or so self-supporting Churches of the conference 6 are in Kumaon District. The Almora church, pays its pastor the high~st sal~ry of any church in t'le Conference, and In addition supports an assistant pastor for its own vilhtge and mohlllla work at Rs. 25 p. m". a distri.ct worker at Re. 228 per month. One Sunday s~rvice each month is speciallv devoted in part, or hi whole, to collecting Mutthi chand The resulting Rs.· H~7 has been. applied to the suppc..rt of another district worker. The decision of the Congress Government to hold the s'.lmmer ~Assions of the Assembly on the plains has taken away such of the glory of the Hindustani Church at Naini '1'al and thrown it into a desperate struggle for existence. . .

The Christian community of Kuma on, city and rural, has shown a strona;r domi­nating desire for the e4ucation 'of its children. Not counting the two English':speak­ing Naini Tal schools, and considering only the purely Indian community and its schooling we find the astonishing fact that there are 518 Christians enrolled in our own schools out of a total community of 2479 of ' whom 231 are resident outside the district

182 DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

but bela their membersh1p here. This leaves 2248 Christians of all ages I and 235 of the full community. Probably the percentage of a general group that is of school age is 25% of the community In Kum~J,on 92~of the sGudents of school age are under our own instruction. There are a few other Christian children reading in district board or government sc:hools and they would bring the percentage up to almost 95% of the children of school age as actualJy in school. 1his striking fact of the almost virtual unanimity of the desiro to get their children educated was concretely put by a village worker who was being rebuked for h~ving gore outside of the Christian community to get a bride for bis son, (the fact of having to purchasE' the girl, and that at a younger age than legally marriageable made it aJl the worf.le.) .Said he, "Where ('an I get a wife for my son? All of the Christian girls are in school and when they Jeave sc.'DooI they do not want to work in the fields as the village women have to work." Our success in the educational line has thus produced a problem in another line.

Then where else could you find as charming a spot for an Institute as Vijyu)a, with a fine old bungalow. belonging to a friendly Hindu and loaned to us annua1ly for the purpose? Here about SO village Christians, and their leaders, incJuding a mis­sionary and his wife, three Indian conference members, and l)tber workers, meeting under the same roof, sharinJ! the same food,.could spend a week or more in helping one another, and especially the village group into a finer understanding of our heritage in Christ and our opportunities of service for Christ. The village Christians came out with a better idea of how they could Hve for Christ, and tbe village work. ers with a greater inspiration to serve. We are indeed grateful to Captain Lang for the gift which made this possible under Miss Oram.

Ours schools have done fine- service during the year. Dwarahat girls' school has had a good year. The Boys' High Rchool there had the highest of our record of the boys' high schools in its anDUal high sehool examination. passing 90%. Of our U P. Mission High SchoDls the Ramsay High School passed 70% the second highest record. Ramsay High School through its long history has been the pioneel of education in Almora District and boasts of having educated most of the Indian leaders of this section, including the premier of the United Provinces. Under the efficient management of Mr. S. B Tewarson the school is not merely carrying on but addil.'g new laurels and increasing its usefulnes. During the year thanks to a generous gift from Mrs. E. S. Jones several tyoewrters were made avaiJable, and the school now has a commerce department which is to be run privately until recognized by the Department. Mr. Tewars~n to his Headmastership has added many other duties, including the Management of the Owarahat High Scbol, and of the Hostels in AJmora, one for Christian boys and one for Hindu boys.

The Adams cirls High School. with its Training Department, has continued to flourish and grow with Miss Parks incharge of the school and Miss Perrill of the Hostel. I t had the unique distinction of having passed every candidate in each of its three jlovernmental Examinations, Middle, High and Training. The addition of Miss Beach and another highly qualified person has increased the efficiency of the Training School, where the standard of admission has befn raised to 8th class passed as a minimum. A nursery ~chool has been organized and JZovernmental recognition will soon be obtained We speak hopefully and prophetically. The enrollment has incre3sed 'from 219 to 2'iS, an outward token of an inward growth in the school and its growing im~rtance to the community. . ..

The Pithoragarh Boys' Schot')l was r~~cued from. final!clal difficultIes by the annual grant being increased, an earned recogDltlon of serVIce gIVE'n by Mr. Enoc h Chand and his staff, but the mission grant to care for boys in the hostel is quite inadequate and the quarters DOt very suitable. Fortunately Miss West has a small boys' department in connection with her Girls' SchooJ and thus helps in :the eQucation of boys. The Girls' School and the Widows' Home under the efficient management of Miss West both proved of great service. The quarters for thermer are too small have for the increasing demand fur girls' education. The Pithoragarh Babyf01d with its growing .numbers. and the women's hospital with its increasing infJuence and the added number of calls on it have both pro.ved their usefulness. This growth in both is the result of the bubbling enthusiasm and efficiency of Miss Westrupon the one hand and oithe quiet but patient and efficient service of Dr. Townsend on the other.

Our Ranikhet ~chool has had a very successful year educationally and the enroU ment has increased. We record with sadness, however, the passing of .M r. Victor Wesley, the Headmaster, who continued too long at his post of service. He was a martyr to his devotion to duty, and we express to his widow and thier four little chil­dren our deep sympathy with them in their sorrow and our appreciation of his worth. His successor Rev. Arjun LalJ: one of our Senior members in point of service) is now receiving his opportunity to serve in that capacity.

The Dwarahat Hospital has had a very busy year. The cbolera epidemic that started from tbe Hardwar mela and spread with increaSing rapidity and intensity in

KUMAON DISTRICT 183

the hill sections, particularly along the Badrinath pilgrim route/provided Dr. Koy with abundance of practice and opportunity for service. He performed m')re cholera inoculations than any other doctor in the district, the number being over 4500. The Hospital has indeed justified its existenee.

There is no need to say much in praise of the Almora Leper Asylum. Doctor Manohar Masih's efficiency in hia work has earned him the confidence of the officials and the community and has made him an examiner of the leprosy clinics operated through tbis Dart of the district in connection with government dispensaries. Doctor Manobar Masih's sunny disposition,' and zeal for showing his work, its great need and urgency. make visitors glad to go and see the Leper Home and convert them into enthusiastic sup­porters. A visit to the Leper Home by Mr. A Donald Miller offi.:ial visitor appointed by the Mission to Lepers, was greatly appreciated.

He went on to see Miss Reed and the Cbandag Leper Home. Finances worried Miss Reed for Eor_~e time but the situation has improved, grants have been received, and the work is continuing with Miss Reed as its inspiration. Despite her increasing age she bas been ab le to carryon. The Cl ming of Miss OoTifvie to spend the year with her was a great joy and help. So MiE's Reed witb her distaste of publicity and of praise has continued to be an inspiration to those of us who have had the privilege of meet­ing her.

The only so-called European schools of this conference are located in Naini Tal. Both of these have had very difficult times to go through. The added joy of having the new Seller's Hall part school-building and part dormitory, has been offset by tbe cost of its erection and the necassity of effecting every saving possible to restore money borrowed from endowment and keep the current budget balanced. Miss Constance Blackstock hilS maintained the fine esprit de eorps of the Wellesly staff and its efficiency, despite her program of saving and consta'1t watch for chances to reduce ex~ enditure. Much saving has been effected, the Si!hool bas made progress and the year bas been a fruitful one.

Philander Smith bas been passing through a very difficult and crucial year. The enrolment has been almost the same as last year. However the dt:cision of the Govern­ment Engineer that Laidlaw flalJ was un-afe and ordering the school to remove its dining haH and assemely Toom to some other buiJ.iing brought dismay and almost paralysis. Laidlaw Hall. the newest big building, completed only 7 or 8 years ago had developed thIS trouble through a slight subsidence of part of the hill, or througb the effects of the Bihar earthquake and subsequent rainy seasons. At great incon­venience, the work of.the year has been carried on. It is always darkest before dawn and we hope that dawn is now breaking. The Board of Foreign Missions gave a generous grant of ~ $2500, on condition that the Board of Governors raise a simiJar amount. A campaign to effect this was organized. To date almost u.s. 2,OOu has been collected, a similar amount is available in good pledges, and the program is contin u ing. A c.ontrac.:; for taking off the upper story and continuing the dinin~ hall has been approved by the Government engineer and let to a reJiable contractor at a saving over the figure originally estimated for the necessary repairs and alteration. There is also every promise of Rs. 4000 Government aid for the process of remodeUing Laidlaw Hall. By March 1st the modified Laidlaw HaU, made earthquake and hill· slide proof, as we hope, will be ready for :Ise, and Philander Smith again b9tter equiped. Mr. and Mrs. Brandl n are also carrying on a special effort to get more students. AU of these signs of activity point to the dawn of a better day.

Tile benediction of the presence of Miss Sullivan in Almora and her help in carry­ing on Epworth have been greatly appreciated. She has rented one suite in Epworth for next year and that fact is a financial assurance of a better year for Epworth as well as of g ... od supervision and the joy of her continued presence. Have we omitted anyone Such omission has nt been intentional for we have appreciated greatly the spirit of co-operation and toloration tbat we have experienced from all of those in the district. ministers. other workers and laymen. But we fear that some worthy nerson's efforts may not have seemed appreciated because not mentioned. l'he diffi­culty of mentioning alJ where so many have participated is own plea. The progress made bas been through God's grace. We thank Him.

MORADABAD DISTRICT.

H. H. WEEKS, S1lperinundent.

Another year is drawing to its close and reports are called for. To one in the midst of a task that is ne ver finished there is little to be said except to record a certain amount of progress. That there has been no loss in any direction is a matter for thanksgiving, e.peoiaJly as we bear in mind the many adverse factors working against the advance-

i84 bisTRIcr SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORTS

ment of the Church, such as persecution, general ignorance and superstition, degrading habits and low ideals. shortage of workers, lack of adequate support and many others.

ttrom the 1st of Marcl:l t 1e Bijnor District was added to Moradabad as an emer­gency measure owing to the suddE'n illness of Rev. E. T. Frey, which necessitated his taking leave to the end of the year. Relief came early in Sept()mber by the arrival of .Rev and Mrs. J. N. Hollister. On July 1st the Parker High School had also to be taken over owing to the retirement of Mr. N. Jordan who for many years has been in cbarge of the school both as Headmaster and Manager. By the arrival of Rev. and Mrs • . J. W. Nave early in November this load was also lifted. We welcome these reinforce­ments to our District.

During the year the writer, in addition to the administrative. responsibilities of these added tasks, has been ablE> to visit each Circuit headquarters at least three times, take pa!t in one institute of eight days, visit many new villages. attend two neigh­boring DIstrict C.mferences, two meetings of the U. P Christian Council. the Evangelis­tic Retreat at Budaun in September. numerous committee meetings. particularly in con­nection WIth our property interests, and to sell unused pr,;perty to the extent of ap­proximately Rs 20,000/-, thus mat~rial1y reducing our property debt and making available for the general work funds formerly paid out as interest.

The Christbn community of the District now nGmbers 26,457 of whom 4,682 are recorded as full members. One hundred and seventj-three persons were received into fuB membersbip during the year and 509 person were baptized of whom 87 were adults and 422 tbe children or Christian parents. There were 281 deaths and 68 Christian mal'.tiages witn only two Circllits reportlDg none. There are 117 Sunday Schools with over 3,000 enrolled and 3 Epworth Leagues with a membership of 77. Counting missionaries. Conferf.'nce member·s. Local Preachers and Teachers we have a total of 147 workers in the District but the effecti ve Evangelistic force is just 41. One Seminary graduate of this year's class was called to the work after graduation and left again after less than onemonth Two young men were sent to the Seminary for training, one worker appointed only this year has spent nearly eight months in Hospital with some ailment that seems almost in~urable, and one man was disc'lVered to have leprosy and had to be dis­continued. Tnus our village workers have been further reduced and we have a1ready reduced far beyond the point of safety. The main problem that faces the Church now next to that of adequate support is where to find the workers that are so urgently needed. The Seminary graduates are too few to meet, the needs and some are not willing to assume the hardships and sacrifices incident to our program of self-support and life in the village. .

Ibis has been the first year of the new program of self-support and I am happy to record an increa.se over last yeu in the giving of the people of about 40%, a careful account has been k ~pt by each worker and these have been audited regularly. That there is room f.)r further improvement is obvious and .f beJieve that if the program is faithfully followed that the coming year will show furtber gains. The only cause for concern is in the fact that very few of our workers are setting their people a gooi example in thiS m3tter and givin{ Jittle or nothin~ themselves in spite ot the urgent need of maintaming O!lr benevolences which show a d~~('rease over last year. The total receipts for the year under Pastoral support and benevolences comes to Rs. 4,960/- but I believe our goal for next year should be Rs 6.000/·, Whether tbis can be attained or not remains to been.

Our schJols continue to flourish and there are 31 for boys and 12 for girls. The teaehinc;r staff is'S5'ID Christian and the number of students is 1,644 of whom nearly half are Christian children. Rs. 68,471/· were soent on these schools during the past year but there were no debts The previous school conducted in the Dang Mohulla has nJW been established aD tbe premises of the old Girls' School and the attendance haR gone up to about 15:), These children are from the Christians who are doing Sweeper work In the city and tbe fact that they are becoming literate and also learning the basic teachings of Christianity is one of great promise for the future.

Intensive work has been done in a few Circuits during the year by our District mvangeJist, Misi E Calkins. Combined with a study of the needs of the Christian communityl. their ~elationshjps and attitudes towards their old Brotherhood and the Christian lihurch, their relations tl) their Pastors the emJ)hasis has been on the funda­mentals of Christianity; and along with it a program of Teaching intended to remove adult illiteracy, someprog'Jess has been made particularly in Moradabad City where the co·operation of the staff of the Girls' School five days weekly bas been of in­valuable help. Emphasis has been laid on Christian worship, both public and private and its value in the development of character and right ways of living.

The word of God has been distributed by sales to the extent of J2 Bibles, 4 New Testaments and 1)588 Scripture portions; 22,266 Christian Tracts have also been distri­buted free. That a great deal more could be done along these lines is evident but ,some do not seem to have any genius for this typ.e of work.and yet in many ways a is plOlt importaDt and constantly bearing frait.

M{)RADABAD'DISTRICT 185 Our District Conference at the end of Qct)ber was preceded by a Teachers'

Institute and continued for the women teachers even during the Conterence~ That, this was greatly needed was cleai'lyshown: by,the tests given. 'Gre3ter efficiency wilH doubtless result The visit of Bishop.H. T. Ba.dley for t wo-d3Ys a~i hts very suggestive and inspiring messagea were greatly appreciated. it was the first visit of the kind since he took over this area. Other vi::lItors were Rev. Rup Chand with his picta'resque 'lectures on Stewardship, Dr. M. rr. Titus of BudauD 'and Rev. M. Wells 'Branch IOf Shahjahanpur with their helpiul mes~ages. Dr A. E. Stevens of the Thomas Ern'ery Hospital gave a very fine address on ,. How to keep well" ahd i'1\1,ajor W. Mer:y of the Faza:pur ~ettlement told of' some of his experiences in conneclfiOD with the WCl'l'k of the Army in eonnection with the CriminaJ Trib-as of Upper' India. l'he weather w'as perfect, the fellowship all that could be desired and I beHeve the general feeling was tbat' the Conference had been a good one. .

I would be both ungrateful and remiss in my duty if I faHed,to mention the un­f.aiUngcourtesy of our co-work'ers;of every grade and the splendid way in wnich they have aided whenever they were asked to do so. Without,this jt would have 'been quite impossible to carry the burdens of the year. L,)()King b!lCk over tne past months 1 can truly say that this' one thing alone bas meant at; much tQ me personally ao:; any­thing else that has come within the range of (oY'expei'ien::e. '

These are fateful days in the lives of IndIa's people and perhaps even more so in the immediate future nf our Christian community. It is quite possible th3t we may have to face a e reat deal more opposition to our Christian program in the future than we have in the past. l. he pressure of the Indian National Congress is all tcwards the solidifying' of Hinduism as a\!'ainst any other faith and no stone is left unturned in order to bring this about, Several cases of active persecution have I!ome to my notice and to secure justice in many'o-f these is. almost i~possible. So far there b:1s been no defection of note and we are more -than' ho1ding our "Own.' It may well be however, that the heralded Mass-movement may not come about as expected ~nd that we shall continue to make converts from th03e who are' wilting to accept the Christian faith because tlrey are convinced that the ,pro!llise of the 'future lies with those who wholly follow in the footsteps of Jesns, The proces~ will o'ot be quite so rapid 'but per~aps tile results will be even better than in the past when thew-ay was easy.

The Conference is to ado,t a program of advance for the coming year and when adopted we shall try to follow it. We fee'! that the greatest need of the hour is, for Christian unity as between wbrkers and people, 'a better sustained teaching prag'r'am for the wholem~mbe-rship I patieula'rly tor those who 'at"e still' on' Probatiott,- 'grea'tet emphasis on Christian marriage, the observance of ChrJstia!l festivals and aknowJedge of t~eir meaning and significaDce~',and the deepening of the spiritual life ,by every possible means.

. Report, Board ot Education, ~938.

J. W.NAVE, Re.lis'rar.

10 as much as E:ach District report must and does cC'ntain rather full statement of what has happened in the course of the year in educational lines it is not intended to make this rep'lrt in any sense exhaustive. Only a few outstanding items are re­ferred to.

After much study and many sittings and exchange of views we this year gave the final form to the revised Educationa! ,:-'ervice. One point that is aimed at in it is equal treatment for aU and on this basis the service is made to apply to others as well as Christian members of the staff. The gearing of our service into government re­quiremeats and at the same time conserving the tbings for wbich we stand bas been an arduous task. We believe that {he result we have achieved is worth while. though we are fuHy aware that the new scheme about to be put into force by the government may call for much adjustment on our part.

The final form of tbe constitution for the Dwarahat Advisory committee for our High SChool was also approved by the Board this year. We shall watch that experi­ment with much interest.

Authorization for the ooening of. Manual training and Bueiness courses was given for Parker and Messmore High Schools respectiVely.

The Board authorised the keeping 'of the name of Mr. N. Jordan on the records of farker High School as Prineipal emeritus. also tbe raising of fuods for a hostel for

We are all proud of the record and rejoice in the many years of devoted service he has heen able to ~ive. His fidelity and unflagging spirit of help­fulness have end"Sared Mr •• Tordan to many thousands.

It is an event WbP.D a m~n comes to Nortb India as a missionary who wiUg:ive> his full time to educatlonal work. We welcome Mr. Nave back to the High School and hostel in Moradabad. and wish him God speed in th~ supreme task of characler­building.

The year saw the 'Passin~ of Victor M.·Wesley, our Headmaster at Ranikhet. He might have beeJ) spared had he not devoted himself eo unstintedly to the .task. We feel a great 1088 in the paElsing of a fine and loyal 'friend and worker and extend our deepest sympathy to bis family.

The time retirement has come for Mr. I~ C. Chatterjee and he this last June laid down the task of Headmastel." of Barei11y. There is no doubt that except for his un­tiring efforts it would not have been saved from the extinction which this Board saw tit to vote for that institution. We wish him rich years of happy retirement.

This report seems more taken up with retirements than it ought. But they ceme i~.itably~ S{)··wa·.have one more to.. notice. namely that of.Miss Orma af.ter 30 years of d~voted ser.vice without furlough at Dwarahat. She has been a builder and con­server and if we are compelled to look on unhappier days for the institution it must be recorded that this will not be because of shortcomings in what she has sought to do but rather In the small number of the"community from which the school draws its pupils, a factor which is not dependent on the school but on other causes.

The Board voted approval for the closing of Dwarahat with the deepest regret and the hope that it may some time be revived. Of course a day school will be main­

tained there according to the pJan adopted •. But the Middle Scho.c>-i and ROB.te) seemed to have had their fate sealed. ..

Statistical Report of the North India Conference, for the year ending 31st, October t 1938.

This is my third year working as the Statistical Secretary, of your Conference. It has been always my joy and interest to work on these long and big Forms, though at times felt quite disgusted yet as a duty entrusted to me, I considered it s great privi­lege and did it faithfully and accurately. The work itself has taught me many good thmgs and the easy ways to do it sooner and easier. I wish to express my thanks to my brethren for their confidence in my poor ability to re-elect me for this tedious task. I alBo wish to thank all the District Officers for their kind co-operation in preparing this re port. .,

Our report run8 thus:-

I. Church Membership and work:-This sheet shows that the total number of Christians in our Conference is 84342,

as against 84943, last year. a decrease of 601, members, and year before last, that is in 1986 a decrease of 980 members, a total decrease of 1681 members. thus a decrease is running for the last three years or so. If such a decrease will be conti­nued on. it is a great danger to our Church, and it is possible that in a few y~ars time the Church·membership will c')me to a naugbt. Therefore at tbis time I humbJy and hopefuJly Invite the attention of aU the District Superintendents to this fact that in the coming year please try to see minutely the chife cause of this depression. The following compitltive chart wi 11 show the continual decrease in most of the districts.

Although an .effort was made this year to improve the givjng for th~se ca uses yet the improvement was not very satisfactory. There ha~ been some increase in some and a huge decrease in the others and thus the net decrease of Rs. 36 has been reported in all these collections. We would again urge that an effort and a real effort is needed.inorder to bring up the benevolent giving. The new plan of giving passed last year was not tried in any but one distric~. Budaun district has Jeq in this Jriving this year too and then comes Moradabad. Shabje.banpur SitapurDistricts also did very well this time. Hope other districts will alEo try to follow this very g09P example.

Suggestions for raising theaoove Benevolences.,' -1. These assessments are based on the Pastoral Support raised during the year in

your district. The total amount to be r~ised for the-benev-oiences is only atout 40 per cent of the total Pastoral SUDDort except for thl)se who paid in mOI·e. It is not enough nor right to raise for Pastoral or local Church supportron'ly. iRalsing this much for benevol-ences is not too much. ~' , " ,

2. TheDlstri~tSuperintendents and Fastors of Saddar Churches should give special and personal atb:ntion towards th('! l"ah:ing of there benEvolences.

::So The District Superintendents EhouJd divide their district aSEessments fc)r'd-iffe· rent churches and circuits and inform them from the beginning how much each'is required to raise during the year-. " , .: ' : . , . f,

4. Every-effort should be made to r~ise the required amount. Some of the~e causes must· be met in fuUwithout fail as under rules each place is supposed to pa.Y_thi3 amount: for instance for Episcopal Fund, (entral Conference Expenses and U. P. Ohristian Council. etc. Other causes are aho very needy and wiJl suffer considerably If they are 'not :aised in full.

I.S1LAS, Seconder~

Resolved that tbe Lav 'Conference of the North India Conferen~e (1988) has learnt with great regret that inspite of & definite ruling of the Joint Session of North India Confereuce held in 1986 that Wi ves of Mission Workers may work outsida Mission Serviee if they are not paid by the Mission, some District Superintendents disobey the direction and do not permit the wives of evea low-paid workers to work outside the Mission Circle especially when as Iowa salary aoi annas 8 a month to the paid workers does not suffice even for their necessities of life. The Hishop iR therefore requested to direct that there should be no such hardship on such wor·kers and their wives.
