VI. REPORTS

( a) District Superintendents.

The following extracts from the Reports of the Dis­trict Superintendents have been made by the Editor of the Minutes, in an effort to select the items of particular interest on each District that might be suggestive or helpful to others rather than to give a summary of the whole report.

Binghu District. U Cll-de, Superintendent.

One of the most important activities of the year has been the training conferences for the preachers and the local workers in the several churches of the district. These were held in April, May, June and September. The brethren of the Anglican Communion shared with us the spiritual fel­lowship of these meetings. These gatherings aimed to pre­pare the pastors and their helpers to carry out the evangel­istic program of the Conference.

The Training School for Laymen held in Kutien Dis­trict early in the year was well attended, and had great value in further training the laymen in their work in the local churches. Rev. Ding Sieng-sing, Dr. long Chiang-dong and Dr. Roxy Lefforge came to make their contribution to this work, and their fellowship helped to give us both a larger vision and greater inspiration.

Bingtang District. U I ng-siong, Su.perintendent.

Our special evangelistic work may be divided into two classes. In the first place we have paid much attention to the reclaiming of lost ground. For a number of years Deng-chiong, Lek-Ieu, Geng-tau-Ieu, Leu-giang, and Duai-dieng have been entirely or almost entirely neglected on account of lack of workers. We have reclaimed much of the lost ground, and revived many of the long neglected adherents, of the Church.

REPORTS 357

We have not neglected intensive evangelism among the various churches. In this work we were greatly assisted by the theological school students home for the summer vacation. Fifty or more families were in this way brought into the church. Seventy-five adults accepted Christ in these meetings.

We have stressed family prayer and Bible Study in the home. More than fifty adults w~re enrolled for regular Bible study, and more than fifty families were added to the list of those who definitely have family worship, Twelve additional Sunday Schools were established. Many children from non-Christian homes have been brought into the church. At Ngieu-seu alone forty-eight children have been brought into regular church attendance, and Christian training, through the single primary school established.

Foochow District. Sia Dung-leu, Superintendent.

We have this year re-opened the work at Iek-iong, one of the early locations of our work outside of Foochow. A young graduate of the Theological School has gone up there and is teaching school and doing pastoral work, and we hope that the work may develop into a regular appointment again.

This autumn we have tried a new program in training conferences for the membership of the churches. We planned to hold three and four day training conferences at each of seven churches. The aim was to work with a small group of selected members, on whom we looked to carry the work of the church. These plans were talked over with the pastors of the seven churches. The plan consisted of daily periods of Bible Study, the duties of church members, the Christian home, the Sunday school work and methods, with two peri­ods a day in learning the new hymns and in plans for improv­ing the worship 'services. Evenings were given to evangelistic meetings. There was an average attendance of nearly twenty at each of these meetings. The cost of the six meet­ings amounted to $28.

"338 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 19:38

A new enterprise to help stabilize and increase the giving of the membership is the "Church Chicken." The thought was that if the members would raise chickens the proceeds from which should go to the support of the pastor and church expenses, that it would help to increase the giving on the part of the membership. Several of the rural churches have enthusiastically entered into the plan. And the people have done so too. Four of the churches are co-operating in this work. There are 154 "church chickens" at present en­rolled.

Futsing District. Ding Hung-kuang, Superintendent.

For several years, although the outward appearance of the Church has been good, we have worried about its future, because we did not have the young men coming forward to take the places of the older officials. Therefore, with the aid of Mr. Caldwell, we set up a program of training for young men who were some day to take over the reins of the local church programs. In the fourth month we gathered youths from all the churches for such a conference, at least four from each church, as many as nine from some centers, meet­ing at Haikau. The program included Bible instruction, prayer instruction, a study of the Discipline, and a careful study of the life of Wesley, all of which proved an inspiration to the youth, The evenings were given to evangelistic meet­ings, under the leadership of Rev. Guoh Sieu-gi.

It is very evident that with the new spirit of youth in the church, the immediate future holds great promise, for which we are deeply thankful.

Kutien District. Ling Bing-cio, Superinter.dent.

The first big event was the training school for laymen which was held in February, at Huang-iong, where twenty­two men and women met daily for a month for Bible Study, hymn singing, training in worship, the study of the Christian

19:38 REPORTS :159

home, and discussion of many live problems of a growing church. It was a notable success. Young men and women, representing about eight churches, were in attendance. They went home inspired for larger and finer service for God's church and the Kingdom in Kutien.

The Wiley General Hospital public health extension service, has been a new and much needed addition to the church's program of Christian service. Mr. Diong Uang-ging, with special training in this work, visited many of the village churches, giving popular practical information and clinic service to large numbers of people. Health contests were carried out in a number of villages, and parents were stimu­lated to a new intelligent interest in the physical well-being of their children.

The folk school for farmers at Kude during the month of August was a new and highly successful feature of the rural training work. The number in attendance reached fifty or more and drew farmers from half a dozen neighboring villages. The initiative and hard work which made this novel project a splendid success came from Miss Martha Graf, and her colleague, Miss Grace Ding. It was a landmark in rural training progress.

Lungtien District. Guoh Sieu-gi, Superintendent.

Evangelism has received very special attention through the year. During the first week of every month there has been held a conference of evangelistic workers at Lungtien. There are twenty three definitely organized evangelistic bands on the Lungtien and Geng-giang charges alone. Into these bands have been brought 130 lay men and women workers who have definitely dedicated a part of their time to very definite evangelistic work each week. There are evan­gelistic bands on every charge on the district. Every band meets Sabbath afternoons for an hour of prayer for power and guidance after which they break up into smaller bands for

360 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 193'8

visitation and preaching. More than 200 families have been brought to Christ as a very definite result of the work of these evangelistic bands. There has been added to the Geng .. giang circuit one more Christian Community. The entire village of Deng-chiong has turned to Christ. A new chapel costing more than $700 has been erected in this village. Prac­tically all the funds were provided by the villagers.

Mintsing District. Lau Heng-tong.

A short term training school for lay leaders was held ftt the Fifteenth Township church in February. The instruc­tors from Foochdw included Dr. Roxy Lefforge, Rev. S. S. Ding, Dr. C. T. Yang, and Prof. C. R. Kellogg, each spending about two weeks in the school. Rev. W- S. Bissonnette gave one week to Bible classes, and Miss Jones gave a week to training for life in the Christian home. The school was .scheduled to open on the second of the First month, and on that day the enrollment was completed. Classes began the next day with every student present. The every-day fellow­ship between the students and teachers was both delightful and exceedingly wholesome. All the 21 students completed the 10 credit points of the first term's work as outlined by the Committee on Religious Education.

A spirit of enthusiasm was maintained from the very first session through Commencement day. And this was not ftccident, for from the earliest announcement of the school, and especially at the first session, there was emphasis upon the importance of uninterrupted work throughout the month. As Christians we must live up to our reputation for complet­ing any task we begin.

Yukie District. Ung Seng-!!ie. Superintendent.

During the early part of the second month there was held a training Conference for future leadership in the church. Each charge sent at least six delegates to this con­ference. The ages ranged from 18 to 35 years. More than

193'8 REPORTS 361

100 of the most promising lay men and women of the district were thus assembled for an extended conference of class work and training. Classes in Bible Study, rural evangelism and community uplift, the Discipline of our Church, singing and presention of the Message was a definite part of the daily program.

As a result of the special evangelistic services at Deng­diong during the latter part the second month more than twenty families turned from their idols. Following this series of services similar services were conducted at Iong­muong on Gong-ing Island. Twenty families discarded the gods of the temple and homes and turned to Christ as. a re­sult of these services. Special services were later held at the Iong-ci village on the Huang-dio circuit. This place had been opened to the gospel message through the killing of a tiger in the community by the missionary. Forty three families have definitely turned to Christ and the Church. The church building at Go-liang on Gong-ing Island has become much overcrowded on account of the ingathering there dur­ing the year.

Board of Education

Board of Education Meeting met at 'TaiMaiu, Dec. 8, 1938, at 4: 30. P.M. Members present: Dr. C. T. Yang, Rev. Lau Nai-pay, Mr.

Siek Yun Hsiong, Mr. Chen Chung Ching, Miss Myrtle Smith and Dr. Ruby Sia.

(On account of another meeting at the same time, the other members were absent, but they also concur in our actions.)

Voted that the senior middle schools of Foochow Con­ference should co-operate in a most intimate way, thus aiding our school system from primary up through college to form a complete whole.

Voted that those in charge of our educational work constantly bear in mind the reason for maintaining Christian schools, viz. the culture of Christian character. The tendency at present is, to care for the children from Christian homes through Primary and Junior High. Then because of the in­creasing cost of attending our schools, they go off to Govern­ment schools, while we fill our schools with moneyed non­Christian students through High School and College. Is this not failing in our object?

Voted that the District Superintendents and District Missionaries of each district be responsible for selecting suitable rural centers to establish at least one model school and should open up one or more Rural Betterment Centers.

Voted that henceforth in all districts the General Board and the W.F.M.S. should co-operate in their educational work.

Respectfully submitted, Ruby Sia, Chairman.

(We renew some of last year's resolutions, because they have done nothing about them all the year.

372 FOOCHOVV ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Board of Religious Education

Lay Leadership Training.-

1938

During the past Conference year, in spite of difficulties, fears of war within the bounds of the Conference, and tem­porary loss of many members who have left for safer homes, several hopeful, actually constructive, movements have been evident in the different Districts.

In the Ku-Bing and Mintsing Districts, Standard Lay Training Institutes of one month in length were held during February and early March. The delegates, 27 in the former group and 21 in the latter, left their homes for a month to fit themselves to render a more acceptable service in their local churches. They entered into each day's worship, study, and play with joy and eagerness. In both Training Institutes the leaders followed the NCCRE Elementary Course of Study, but found in the course of the month's work that some changes were desirable. Consequently, the leaders worked out a more acceptable course which is recommended to our Methodist Churches, adding a third term for those lay lead­ers who wish further training after they have completed the required eighteen credits for the Lay Training Diploma. '(Copies of the new Course of Study can be secured from our Central-Office.) Practically all of the delegates who attended the two Training Institutes mentioned above are now helping their pastors in their local churches.

Membership Training in the Local Church.-

Another type of training for the ordinary active mem­bers, carried out under the auspices of some of the District Superintendents in co-operation with the Committee of Re­ligious Education, proved of very great value. Following the Preachers' Retreat for the Ku-Bing Districts, held at the 18th Township from June 20 to 25, District Superintendent, Rev. U Cu De and the General Secretary gave 2]/2 days in both Dio A and 17th Township (Huang long) in specific training for the active members of the two parishes. The daily program included Bible Study, Singing ('Hymns of Un i-

REPORTS 37:-1

versal Praise), Essentials for Establishing a Christian Home, Cleanliness in the Christian Home, and Sunday School Pro­blems. From July 25 to August 1, District Superintendent, Rev. Lau Heng Tong, Pastor Uong Ding Ching, Mr. Diong Cung Dai, and the General Secretary visited three parishes of the Rural Mutual Service-Encouragement group, giving from lY2 to 2.1;2 days in each place, for similar training of members with a slightly different program. Following this a three-day Training Retreat for the members of the five Young People's Rural Improvement Societies of the Ho-Do Ku ("~~) was held at the 16th Township Church. The program included Bible Study, Young People's Responsibili­ty in the Local Church, the Christian Home, Evangelistic Methods, Singing, with two Fellowship Meetings and a Com­munion Service in the evenings. In the Foochow District, District Superintendent, Rev. Sia Dung Leu and the General Secretary held three-day Training Institutes for the active members in six rural churches with daily programs including Bible Study, Singing, Laymen's Responsibility, Goals for the Christian Home, and Sunday School Problems, with an evan­gelistic service in the evening wherever possible. In Futsing City, during the week of May 16-20, the General Secretary cond uctedParentEd ucation and Family Worship discussion classes with the women of the church and Sunday School problems with the teachers and officers of the Sunday Schoo1. The practical results of this training on the ground is already evident in many places, and plans are under way for a con­tinuation of this work during the coming year.

In ilddition to the usual Christianizing-the-Home Move­ment under the auspices of the NCCRE, several Districts are beginning to emphasize Parent Education Classes in the local church. As a r€sult of daily discussions with the preachers of the Ku-Bing Districts on Worship, the District Superin­tendents report that the worship services in all the churches have taken on new form and life.

Experimental Parishes.-

The plan for at least one experimental rural parish in

FOOCHOVV ANNUAL CONFERENCE 19::38

each District is slowly becoming a reality. The 15th Town­ship parish in Mintsingwas "the first real one and has devel­oped steadily from year to year with a constructive program which is now reaching out to include the neighboring parishes of the newly organized Rural Mutual Service-Encourage­ment Association (~~I1). During the past year Dio A, with a functioning program and a remodelled church build­ing' has become the second experimental parish and 17th Township (Huang long) in the same District (Binghu) is a possible center. In the Foochow District, four churches are named as prospectiv~ active experimental parishes-Gang Cia, Guang Nguong Die, Ngie Seu, and Puo A. Such experi­mental parishes are working on a five-fold program, which includes Evangelism, Religious Education in the limited sense, Recreation, Health, and Livelihood. And every member of the Christian group, children, young people, and adults, is to receive special attention.

Christian Folk-School.-In the Kude parish of the Kutien District, during the

month of July, a Farmers' School, after the plan of the Danish Folk-Schools~ was conducted for the farmers of that sec­tion. Learning the fundalnentals in a Christian atmosphere under the guidance of "Christian teachers, with specific relig­ious teaching included, not only gave ordinary information to these farmers, but brought them a glimpse of a broader, more inclusive world, and gave them the incentive to become Christians. The influence was so effective that the lives of some of the men were changed" sufficiently to be recognized by the members of their families even during the course of the school. This month of study is being followed up by an adult night school which is conserving the vaIues of the sum­mer school. This. Folk..8chool venture holds real value for our Chinese ·Church. New Materials.-

During the past year some materials have been printed which will be of definite help in the development of the local church program. These include: (1) two Christmas pag-

1938 REPORTS 373

eants-The Shepherds' Story ($.01); and The Inn-Keeper of B.?th­lehem ($.05); (2) a special Christmas Candle-light Worship Service ($.01); (3) a Worship Service for Dedication of the 'Church Chickens' in F oochow Dialect ($.001;2); (4) Pro­grams for Preachers' Wives Institutes, Three Series (free); (5) Methodist Elementary Lay Training Curriculum (free); (6) Family Cleanliness Chart (free); (7) a book (English and Chiness editions) of Fifty Stories with Worship Value (now in the press and ready by the end of the year, price to be quoted later).

Conclusion. -

The Conference Committee of Religious Education submits this summary of the work of the past· year with the realization that the work has been far more practical than anything that we have been able to do heretofore. This has been made possible because of the very hearty co-operation of the leaders in each of the Districts. The Committee wishes to serve the Conference even more effectively in the coming year. District superintendents, District missionaries, and pastors can help us do this by telling us of the local needs. More detailed reports and helps can be found in the Information Bulletin as it cqmes to you from time to time.

The Outer Mission to tire Church. 1. Our slogan for the year: The Foochow Conference

Area for Christ. Our goal: that the Gospel be given to every

378 FOOCHO~ ANNUAL CONFERENCE 1938 "

non-Christian within bounds of Foochow Annual Conference during the next four years.

2. That all churches should be open all day on Sundays with some form of Christian service: for all comers.

IV. The Committee is preparing literature on both these problems to be sent to each District. The Committee asks both the WFMS and BFM representatives in each Dis­trict, the District Superintendents, and the members of the Anti-Slavery and Anti-Little Daughters-in-law Committee in these districts to assist in disseminating this material among the church constituency.

V. The Committee realizes that there are those among our Conference workers in whose homes there are both slave girls and little daughters-in-law and that these matters have not been satisfactorily taken care of. Conse­quently, the Committee asks that the following steps be taken:

1. Members from the Committee have been asked to talk with these men and women in a friendly way and urge them to take care of these problems at once.

2. The Committee asks the Bishop to speak to the entire Conference at some time before the Confer­ence adjourns the present session, stressing the necessity of taking the proposals of this Commit­tee seriously and making every effort to rid the Foochow Conference of this two-fold hindrance.

3. If these offending members refuse to listen to friendly urging and will not make satisfactory plans for such children in their homes, the Committee asks that the Bishop, according to the action already taken by the Conference, withdraw their appointment.

Futsing Social Center.

Ngieng Ki-hua

Many of the social activities of this center have been more or less disrupted by the war conditions around us. We have, however, been able to carry on the work of the reading room and the social contacts without much interruption. We have been.ever watchful for opportunities to witness for Christ and the Church.

The social center conducted a special service in Octo­ber in the interest of war sufferers in the north. The ser­vice was held in our large Hok..;hua Church on account of lack of room at the Social Center. Both civil and military leaders as well as outstanding gentry were invited to address the meeting. Each speaker commended the Christian

1938 REPORTS 417

Church for its activities during these times of suffering and stress. Our local Church group contributed nearly $300. for relief work in the north.

Every Sunday afternoon I visit the yamen and preach to the opium addicts who are receiving treatment by the Government. Every service is attended by more than forty of these unfortunates. Twelve of the victims who have been cured of the habit have accepted Christ.

One other activity definitely connected with the Cen­ter is a Bible Class which I conduct in the headquarters of the military group. Many of these officers and men have manifested very great interest in the gospel message and in the study of the Bible.

The Social Center work affords a wonderful opportu­nity for personal interviews with leading men of all groups. I have taken advantage of such opportunities for witnessing for Christ. I have presented several military officers with copies of the Bible or New Testament. I am hoping that seed thus sown may bear fruit unto eternal life. The con­tacts thus established have brought many military and civil officials into a better understanding of the Church and into greater sympathy with its program.

The above is a very brief summary of the activities of the Cocial Center during the Conference year.

Fukien Union Theological Seminary

Chang Tung Yang.

There are 28 students this fall. Of them, five are from the Church of Christ in China, five from Yenping Conference, four from Hinghwa Conference and fourteen from Foochow Conference.

As regards the teachers, Mr. Liao has gone to Drew for further study and Dr. Worley has come back. Besides, the Church of Christ in China has allowed Rev. A.O. Rinden of Chang-Io to give two days a week to the school, teaching

418 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Religious Education and the Sociological Study of the Bible, Dr. Ruby Hsieh has given about an afternoon a week to teach the boys instrumental music and Mr. A.Vv. Billing is teaching the senior class Flower Gardening, which will give the boys a chance to learn how to beautify their church yards and lawns when they have graduated. As soon as the Seminary can secure a piece of land for growing vegetables, a teacher at Union High has promised to come to teach vegetable gardening.

In addition to the financial strait, the Seminary at present is confronting the following difficulties.

First, because our students lack a general senior high school education, they are not admitted as candiates for the degree of Bachelor of Theology in Nanking Theological Seminary, in case they should wish to go there after they have been successful in pastoral work. This takes away from our garduates the hope of advanced study.

Second, Educational work in China is progressing very rapidly, People of intelligence are increasing in number, in all communties by leaps and bounds. Yet the education for the ministry is still about the same as for . the last thirty years, consequently our garduates find themselves unable to meet the needs of the intellectuals of their parishes.

Third, more than four fifths of the Chinese people live {)n farms. The same ratio holds in our church population. Hence most of our churches are rural churches and almost all of our graduates become rural pastors. As the Seminary students do not have any rural or agricultural education, they are not capable of serving their people efficiently.

In the face of lheabove mentioned difficulties, the fac­ulty of the Seminary has been considering the following plan:-

The Seminary will continue to receive junior high grad­uates but the period of training will be lengthened from four years to five. Thus for the first year a student will study in the Seminary many of the courses in general subjects; for the second and third years they will study in Union High

19:~8 HEl'OHTS 419

School, natural and applied sciences, such as Biology Chemistry or Physics and Agriculture; and for the fourth and fifth years they conle back to the Seminary, studying the courses which will largely be the same as the courses of the first two years of the Nanking Theological Seminary. When they have graduated and made a success of their parishes, they will be allowed to enter the third year of the Nanking Seminary and receive the Degree of Bachelor of Theology in two years, in case they can afford to go.

A student having gone through this educational pro­cess will have the hope of educational advancement; Second­ly will have an education equivalent to that of a Junior col­lege, hence will be able to better meet the problems of the intellectual people in their communities; thirdly, their study­ing in the Union High will enable them to work better with their farming people; fourthly, the Seminary may occasion­ally also receive senior high school graduates to study with the fourth year students. And fifthly, by correlating with the Nanking Seminary, our ministerial viewpoints will be broad­ened so that they will be more ready to participate in any union work which is apt to come.

The faculty of the Seminary has been making ap­proaches to the Nanking Seminary and favorable answers have been received. The Yenping Conference has passed on this new plan, the Church of Christ has agreed to the same. We hope the F oochow Conference will give this new plan sympathetic support and then eventually that Hinghwa Con­ference will favor it. Having got the support of all these participating bodies, the faculty of the Seminary will make approaches to the Union High School and try to negotiate further with the Nanking Seminary so that the correlation with both of these institutions will be formally and actually realized.

Junior Middle Schools

(The following are extracts from the several reports presented.) .

Bingtang-Lin Chan-shang Principal. This year our enrollemnt is much increased, reaching

a total of 124, of whom 23 are girls. This number breaks the former record. Still many students could not be received because of the smallness of the school building. One half of our students are from Christian families. Most of the stud­ents are very much interested in maintaining the Morning Watch and the number doing so has increased day by day.

Being located on the coast our students have had a remarkable opportunity in educational and propaganda lines going out every Saturday to a large number of villages. The girls have opened a women's class to receive village women from fifteen to thirty years of age who wish to learn to read. There are thirty women who meet every afternoon from three to five o'clock. .

Our school building is much too small for our number of students. This spring the local government gave a piece of land to the school for recreational activities. This included about 2000 square feet. We urgently need funds for addi­tional building equipment. Futsing-Ung Ping-da Principal.

Last term we had an enrollment of 212 students. This term the number was greatly increased. Out of 140 appli­cants we were only able to receive 70 students. This gives us an enrollment of 252 students making it the largest school of all the middle schools in Futsing.

We now have more than 2000 volumns in our Library. This term we have added more than 100 volumes relating to the present war situation, also we have eight or nine mag­azines and newspapers.

Among the 252 students only 53 come frOID Christian homes. During the year Dr. C. T. Yang, Principal of the Union High School came to our school to conduct a series of meetings. With his addresses so full of absorbing power

IH:-38 REPOHTl:i 4~1

and stimulation all the non-Christian students attended the meetings.

As the dormitory is too small to accommodate so large a number of students, we are now utillizing the neighboring temple which was allotted to us by the Government. It has been put in condition for class-room and dormitory space and is proving very satisfactory.

Kutien-Ling Chok-kai Principal. Last term we enrolled 153 students. This term there

has been a large increase and we now have 207. This is more than we can well care for, but we feel the need of taking in all that we can possible accommodate.

Early in the year several groups of students were sent out for propaganda work for the purpose of arousing the people to their partriotic duties and to support the National Government in its struggle for freedom and justice. The spiritual life of the school is well planned. Christian leaders with a vital message are often asked to speak and present the claims of the Chris tian life to the boys. Several small bands of students go out to preach and to bear witness on Sundays. During the year, there have been a number of baptisms and several of the students have joined the Church. Many of the non-Christian students are becoming interested in the Chris­tian truth.

Lungtien-Ceng Huang-ku Principal. In the Spring of 1938 there were 99 students in the

Junior Middle School and 157 students in the Primary School making a total of 256. This Autumn there are enrolled 122 students in the Junior Middle School and 123 students in the Primary School. This total or 245 students is the highest re­cord in the history of our school.

There are a little less than 50% of our entire student body who are Christians, yet many of the non-Christians attend services regularly and actively participate in the Church activities. The religious life of our school is some­thing for which we feel very grateful. All the religious services and activities of the school are well attended and the students take enthusiastic part in the same.

422 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 19:):8

In the Autmmn of .1938; jn accordance with an order of the Provincial Commissioner or Education, we put into effect the tutorial system in our school. Each tutor has as his responsibility theguidanc~ of the daily activities of about twenty students. The aim of this system is to develop the personal friendship between faculty.andstudents to such a degree that the students will feel free to ~o to their faculty friends for consultation on all manner or personal problems, while it is a new venture, thus far it seems to be working well.

Last Spring we graduated fifteen students from the Junior Middle School, eleven of whom have continued their studies in Senior Middle Schools. This year our faculty has been strengthened by the addition of several new teachers. Our new Dean being a graduate of Fukien Christian Univer­sity with three years of post-gradate work at Yen-ching where he received his B. D. in 1937. All of our teachers are earnest Christians and they are making a real contribution to the spiritual life of the students.

Mintsing-Lau J~ ai-bui Principal.

When our school opened in September we had the largest enrollment in the 'history of the school numbering 198 students. In this group there are ten girls. Duringthetwo terms of the current year, the students have paid exclusive of .. board a total of $5472.{)O. Our religious program has aimed at the spiritual growth of the students and teachers. About one third of the sudents are nominally Christians and these attend. nearly all the religious services. During the year sixteen were received into the Church on probation and nineteen into full membership.

Three years ago there was no problem of 'housing the students in the dormitories here. But the influx of new students has crowded our rooms to the very door.s, and it is essential that we secure not less than one thousand dollars for the construction of a .simple .building to house the extra students.

1938 REPORTS 423

Foochow Union High School.

Chang Tung Yang

In spite of the national crisis there are 33 pupils in the kindergarten, 201 boys and girls in the primary school, and 172 boys and 2 girls in the high school. In other words, the en­rollment of the kindergarten is only slightly greater than it was last year, whereas the enrollment of the primary school is almost double, and that of the high school is 17% greater than that of the previous year, and about twice as great as it was two years ago. The farmers, far and near, seem to have never been so keen about Christian schools as they are now. Consequently the capacity of the high school is taxed to its utmost, while the primary school has had to overflow into the high school basement, The athletic ground has been ex­tended, new bath rooms built, the chapel must be used for dormitory space and the roof raised to make place for a new chapel. A committee has been elected by the board of man­agers to plan for the erection of a new building to provide decent housing for the primary school. This plan is now waiting the friends of Union High and the friends of the farmers to donate the necessary funds.

Graduates-Never before has the school graduated so large a class as this year. Yet they are not enough to meet the demands society has made on us. They are dis­tributed as follows: One to college; one, because of having to travel to the western part of the country, was too late to take college entrance examinations so is doing some private study; one entered the Fukien Meteorological Bureau; two, are teaching in Christian primary schools in rural districts; n.'ine are directors in government co-operative projects; and fen are heading up economic projects and teaching rural courses in high schools.

School Activities- (1) Our rural clinic has, for the past 12 months, given 1740 treatments. Its service is ever spread­ing as time goes on.

424 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 1938

(2) Primary School. Mrs. C. T. Yang has organized the 40 girls of the primary school in to a progressive Club. They meet once a week, from two to five o'clock every Satur­day afternoon. Bible Study, Story Telling, Sewing and Knit­ting, and Cooking, constitute the main part of the program. Once a month every member of the club makes a report of the improvements she has made since the last meeting. A special teacher has just been secured to conduct the sewing llnd knitting work.

(3) Students and teachers. The activities of the stu­dents consist mostly of voluntary work in Sunday Schools and Night Schools. Twenty students hold Sunday Schools in nine places, (one of these places is a home). Three in churches; llnd five in night schools having about 250 students every Sunday Evening, mostly from non-Christian families.

The students, particularly those of the upper classes, have conducted five night schools. There was an average of a hundred students for each school. Reading, writing, health music and religion form the main part of the curriculum. In one of the night schools, where we can afford to have a grad­uate take charge of the work, programs like the following llre going on : for the purpose of improving the breed of ani­mals in the villages around they keep two .pure bred Leghorn 'Cocks, one pure bred Angola and three pure bred Italian rabbits. About :nine students give ten cents apiece for run­ning a special rabbit project. They spent fifty cents·to buy a pure bred female rabbit, twenty cents for a pen, and twenty cents to buy beans to feed it when it had young ones.

Every man or woman coming to this night school pays ten cents as registration fee which brings the school $9.80. 'This money is being used to buy simple medecines such as tincture of iodine and soda for the villagers. Through con­tact with the health bureau of the government this teacher has been responsible for the inoculation of more than a hun-ared people against typhoid fever arid cholera. .

Through this teacher's influence the villagers are plan-

1938 REPORTS 425

ning to raise $200 to repair a building and provide some simple epuipment for the night school. Ten of these village families do not have land enough to cultivate. They are considering moving to some other part of the pro vince to live. The teacher is helping them to negotiate with the gov­ernment so that they may actually move where there is more land for them to farm.

The Activities of the Teachers-Once in two weeks the faculty members have supper together. After supper they have devotional Bible study for about two hours. They discuss chiefly the application of the religion of Jesus to their daily lives and work. Once in two months the faculty families have a discussion-fellowship in one of the teachers homes. The last meeting was held in the home of one of the primary school teachers and the subject was "The Christianizing of our Homes". Alternating, bi-monthly, with the family fellow­ship is the women's fellowship attended by the women teachers and the wives of the faculty members. They also meet in the homes with a similar programme, but are more concerned with women's affairs. All these meetings are well attended.

Extension Work-In addition to the many graduates who are doing extension work for the government, last spring there were some eighteen rural pastors attending a ten day's institute in the school. Following this. there came the institute for training the co-operative workers of the govern­ment in making various kinds of compost. Then there was another institute for 53 Christian farmers in the village of Ku-de, Kutien. This institute was like the Danish Folk school. To this institute Union High sent two teachers to help in the agricultural and rural projects. About two weeks ago the writer visited the same district again. A lady~ the head of the institute. said that there had already been some big tomatoes from the plants grown from the seed dis­tributed by our teachers in the institute last summer. How to apply what is taught in the school to communities outside the school becomes the chief interest of the staff of Union High.

426 FOOCHOW A'S'NU AL CONFERENCE 19:38

Due to rumors ofimpertding danger here in Foochow ilbout a month a.go, three of our 'classes and their ~teachers moved into the interior. Last week when the writer visited them, he found that they' were doing similar work for their -community that their fellow students and- teachers here in Foochow are doing. One of the teachers is just now con­ducting a choir in the village chureh and preparing songs for Christmas. Another group of boys are preparing a play. Very likely as time goes on if nothing happens, tbis grou,p will do even more extension work than the school here in Foochow. "

Fukien -Christian University

C. J. Lin, President

Within the year under review this university has not suffered much material loss, but our educational program has been considerably affected and we have made important -changes.

1. Adaptat-ion of our Educational Program to the Needs .of the Time. During the fall of 1937 the fighting was centered "ehiefly in North China and around Shanghai. We, therefore, :could carry on our regular work with a normal enrol­men.t~ W ehave,however, adjusted our program of studies to meet the needs of the time. The most important adjust­ments were (1) a co~rse in War Time Knowledge which ,consisted of seven subjects taught by the same number of in­structors in a co-ordinated program of study. It was re­·quired of all students. (2) Special physical training in bodily fitness and in military knowledge for self defense. (3) Prac­tical service fo the people. The" whole student body and in­structors were diviq,ed into groups with specific work to --be undert~keri and c-ertain territories were assigned to them.

i. Training of the Masses in the J nterior. Befo"re the -closing of the fall term it was decided to mobolize all the educational institutions to educate the people in the interior districts and to help them understand the meaning and policy

193B REPORTS 427

of our resistance to the Japanese "'aggression and the simple :ways and means of effecting the great task of national recon­struction. The work of the university was, therefore, con­.cluded two weeks before the scheduled time, so as to allow :the whole student body and the majority of the instructors to join in that important service. The men students chiefly worked with adults and children in the villages, while the women students made house-to-house calls engaging the wo­men in conversation and forming training classes for all who would come. They used dramatic presentations and mass singing as their preliminary approach to the people. When they got thenl organized into classes they gave them regular courses in citizenship and elementary military training and other forms of· general knowledge with regard to sanitation, health, and, to a limited extent, improvement in agriculture ~and in home·duties. Our students and teachers gained much in vital educational experience for themselves. At the same time they helped greatly to strengthen the morale of the people, as well as to increase the national resistance to the Japanese aggression.

3. Moving the Class Work to Shaowu. The spring term began on May 4, 1938, in Foochow, but within the next three weeks the Japanese aeroplanes were constantly bombing Foochow and Japanese gunboats were shelling points on the coast of the province; several attempts were made to land their marines in Fukien. An island ou.tside of Amoy was first occupied, and on May 10-13 Amoy City itself. In order to carry on our educational work uninterruptedly and to avoid the possibility of being bottled up in Foochow in case of Japanese invasion of the city, we followed the advice of the government to transfer and carry on our work in Shaowu. The entire Chinese faculty, most of them with families, and about 90% of the student body moved to Shaowu the first week in June. We especially asked the western members of the staff to stay on the Foochow campus.

The general morale among our students in Shaowu

4~8 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFEHENCE

has been maintained on a very high level. Everybody there realized the critical nature of the time and the value of the opportunity they had, and hence worked hard along an lines. The Student Self-Government Association and other student societies did much in patriotic service. They co-ordinated all the dramatic clubs in Shaowu and gave public presentations a number of times. They also headed up the mass singing movement in the hsien and gave training in that kind of work to the young people. They opened a night school with more than 200 enrolled. They published eight issues of the F. C. U. Weekly which has been widely circulated not only in Shaowu, but throughout the province. The Student Christian Association has also done splendid work. Besides co-operating with the Student Self-Government Association in the service mentioned above, they conducted three Sunday Schools for the children in Shaowu, and every Sunday after­noon and evening they conducted evangelistic meetings,both in the city and in the villages.

We also began our new systematic advisor system in the latter part of the spring term. The major students in each department were the basis of division for advisors and students.

The school closed with the baccalaureate service on August 21 and commencement on August 22.

For the coming year, we shall endeavor to strengthen our general educational program in Shaowu by adding to the equipment and possibly by increasing the personnel. We are paying special attention to the following: (1) strengthen­ing of our educational progress for production. (2) The in­auguration of an educational program for manual labor. Beginning with the fall semester we shall have our workmen help in the opening up of areas outside the cainpus, and their duties inside the campus will be assigned to the students themselves. We are also putting into effect a system of student self-help whereby students can earn enough to pay their living expenses while they are studying at 'college with a free tuition scholarship and work for ten hours per week,

1938 REPORTS 429

a student can carryon regular college work without much expense to his family.

For Service to the locality we are co,.operating with the hsien government in establishing a school for the train­ing of farmers selected from each sub-county for a period of six months. Our Agriculture Department is also cooper­ating with the hsien government in carrying on work for the selection of rice in Shaowu with a view to improving the seeds for the farmers, experiments in growing and using green manure for fertilizer, and also in horticultural work for the improvement of vegetables and fruit production.

This university is one of the few institutions of higher learning which remains near the front lines of free China. We realize the heavy responsibility that is ours. We shall, therefore, strive to continue our educational service in spite of the most difficult circumstances in order to make our contribution toward the strengthening of the morale of the people for national defense and the training of leaders for reconstruction. But we also recognize that (1) this univer­sity was established for the service of China and for the Chinese people. It cannot take an indifferent view by main­taining a neutral position apart from the general interest of the Chinese nation, and, (2) that ours is a Christian institution whose highest educational principles are (a) the building of strong character sending out personalities that have in them the love of justice, truth, and beauty; loyalty to the highest ideals with courage to sacrifice one's life for them; service to their fellowmen in the common sharing of joy and suffer­ing; (b) the building of a better social order where jnjustice and oppression would not be tolerated. We would not com­promise in any way with the forces or powers of evil. We would not sell our soul in order to maintain our mere physical existence. Indeed this is a supreme opportunity for Christian education. If F. C. U. lives up to these principles in its educational service she will discharge her sacred mis­sion to the Chinese youth no matter what may happen to the material side of the institution. May God grant us the

480 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 19:38

grace togo forward to the year"ahead oius with a deep sense of responsibilty, and courage, and strength to meet the challenges and opportunities that this university cannot .evade.

Willis F. Pierce Memorial Hospital

Henry V Lacy, Director

Moving Day, the day 'when we had the privilege of oc­cupying our new Hospital plant came between the 23rd of April and the 18th of June. The hopes and anticipations of more than ten years and the work of nearly seven years came to fruition in the occupancy of the new Willis F. Pierce Memorial Hospital. On April 23rd we moved, from the Kate C. Woodhull Branch of the Union Hospital, the equipment and supplies necessary for opening the O~t Patient Clinic in the new Out Patient Department on the ground floor of the west wing of the building. And on Monday morning, April 25th, the patients came to the new building and were seen there by the doctors who had been seeing them in the Kate c. Woodhull Branch Hospital.

On October lst, 1938, the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Hospital as a Union institution we had the dedicatory exercises for the new building. A large number both of the civil and military officials, as well as friends of the hospital were present to share with us in the joy of ded­icating our new plant.

During the past year there have been many changes in the personnel of the .hospital, not least of which has been among the doctors themselves. Dr. Jarvis has been detained at home partly on account of the political situation, but more largely on account of the health of' his wife. 'We can only hope that botlifactors may be so much improved in the course of the next few months, that we may again have the privilege of having J?r. Jarvis with us again.

When I made my report a year ago we were without

1938 REPORTS 431

any director of religious work in the Hospital. Our effort to secure the young woman of whom I had made mention to the Board had failed. Shortly after the Annual meeting of the Board several Fukien students and workers returned from Nanking having been forced out of their institutions in that city owing to the Japanese occupation of the same. Among others who returned to Foochow was Miss Uong Seuk-daik of the faculty of the Nanking Women's Bible Insti­tute. Miss Uong was approached as to the possibility of taking on the work in our hospital, left vacant by the resig­nation of Miss Uong Seuk-ieng, who had gone to Malaysia in June. After carefully considering the offer of the Hospital Miss Uong Seuk-daik accepted the same on the condition that if and when her institution called her to return she should be free to do so. Miss Uong is a graduate of Hwa-nan Col­lege, and had experience both in teaching in the W omen"s Biblical Institute in Foochow, and in evangelistic work in the churches. Later she went to Nanking for post gradu­ate work, and was engaged by the faculty of the institu­tion there to train workers. Miss Uong therefore, by training and experience, and temperament is well quali­fied for the work that she has undertaken. In taking the position we asked Miss Dong to make her first inter­est and effort among the staff and students of the Hospital. \Ve felt that if she could bring to these persons a strong Christian experience and desire to bring the Christian mes­sage to others, that then we would feel that the Christian message of the hospital would be well cared for in passing on.to the patients in the institution. Miss Uong was very hap­py togiye her emphasis to this phase of the work, and I be­lieve that the program has justified itself in the results among the staff members and the students. Unfortunately Miss Uong left us at the beginning of September for the Bible School and we are now looking for her successor.

And what of the work done during the past year? This can easily be divided into two periods, the period of nearly six months before the move, and the shorter period of two or three months since the move was completed and

432 FOOCHOW ANNUAL CONFERENCE 1938

the writing of this report. <First as to the first six months. In .every case < this shows a decrease over the .corresponding period of 1937 of from eight to twenty five percent.

The above figures cover a period of unusual conditions and I believe all win agree that they are not a fair basis of judgement for the work of the hospital. The total figures of 39,604 patient days shows a percentage of occupancy for the year of 68.3 which in view of all the circumstancee we feel is not bad.

Before we moved from the Magaw Unit on the island -of Nantai a large number of those who were accustomed to come to the Hospital and the Out Patient Clinic anxiously inquired of us as to plans for mantaining an Out Patient Clinic on that side of the river. It had been our hope that some such arrangement might be made, but we were not -sure that it could be. It was decided, through the courtesy of. Hwa-nan College, to maintain an out patient clinic in the =building in which we had carried on our Out Patient Depart­ment through the years we had been in those grounds. Dr. Esther Sia, who had been with the KateC.W oodhull Branch was assigned to this work, and with her for two days a week Dr. S. Y. Li, was to carry on his eye clinic. The response to this clinic opportunity was.most gratifying. Through the months of July and August there has been an average of llbout 47 attending these clinics as compared to an average of about 68 in the five months preceeding our removal.

Dr. Esther Sia has given hE:r time also to the medical work in some of the schools on the island of Nantai, thus continuing the work which we had started some time ago, and which we felt was much needed both by the hospital and the schools.

God has blessed us wonderfully during these months passed and we can only hope and pray that His protecting and guiding hand will continue to be with us during the months ahead.
