A N N U A L R E PO R T, 1802.To t h e C o r r e s p o n d i n g S e c r e t a r y .

D e a r B r o t h e r ,—Another year of mercy has gone over this mission, and our ranks are still unbroken. God has preserved our lives, and our opportunities of usefulness are still continued.

Increase.—In the accompanying statistical tables our numerical progress is fully indicated. The past year, it will be seen, has been one of real advancement in all the departments of our work. Our agents, congregations, Sabbath-scholars, and communicants have nearly doubled in number. Our Christian schools have gone up from 457 to 1,224 scholars; and the orphan children, whom we are training for God and for usefulness, have risen from 100 last year to 239 at this date.

European Contributions.—The munificent liberality of former years, shown us by generous Christian resident Europeans, has been even exceeded during the past year; so that while our country was suffering, and our appropriation was inadequate to our work, they have nobly come forward and not only supplied the deficiency, but carried out our work to its present enlargement. Some school-houses have been enlarged, six new ones built, and a Boble school structure, worthy of its position, begun in Lucknow; two mission houses have been commenced, important improvements and repairs effected, and our interesting Christian village (Wesley- pore) has been founded, and its schools and congregation organized.

Other Aid .—Besides the financial aid acknowledged in detail at the close of this Report, we have during the year received aid from the American Bible Society, and also from the Tract and Sunday-School Societies of our own Church, to help our little printing establishment into complete working order. We hope by this time next year to be able to furnish you with a satisfactory list of publications from our own press. The Church may confidently expect soon to see her literature embodied in the language of these millions around us.

A New Christian Commitnity.—A very interesting experiment is now in progress in our mission, from which I hope to see much good realized. The openings which our mission found some time since in the villages west o f Moradabad resulted in a large number of people abandoning their priests and idols and placing themselves under Christian instruction. Most of them were very ignorant and degraded, and some of them very poor. Of course they had to

M ISSIO N A RY ¡REPORT. lises.suffer the usual annoyances for what preference they showed to Christianity, and a few of them were even pushed out of their humble employments as tillers of the soil. They were thus thrown upon our sympathies in every respect, and we tried to do what we could for them.

A Christian "Village.—Providence opened the way for founding a Christian village. The unoccupied lahd of Oude was offered in lots of five thousand acres by the government to gentlemen who would engage to cultivate it. I put in a claim and was successful, the grant assigned me being central to the estates of some twelve or fifteen European gentlemen, who have commenced operations in the neighborhood of our Luckempore Mission ; and then we went to work and collected these despised and illiterate people under Brother and Sister Parker’s pastoral care. A village has been built, wells dug, farms laid off and cultivated, the foundations of a church and school laid. The new government road to Philibeet and Nynee Tal from Lucknow runs through our grant and village ; other roads will open out to it from the surrounding estates ; and the prospect is that our little town will become a sort of market town for the whole region, as we are already far in advance of them all in the way of people, tradesmen, etc.

Morals o f the New Village.—The moral aspects o f the place are no less pleasing. Brother and Sister Parker have good reason to be enoouraged in the fruit of their toil. Most o f our mission know well how much they had to discourage them in the commencement ; the people were so illiterate, so perverted from truth and goodness, all that could be éaid in their favor was that they were willing to be instructed, and this gave nsjiope to labor with them. Well, one year has gone, and the results are, two schools, containing forty boys and young men, and fifty girls and women, under Christian and patient instruction daily % a very interesting congregation o f more than one hundred and twenty-five persons regularly assembling to worship the Christian’s God and Saviour ; a large and well-attended class-meeting of fifty persons, who “ have the form and are seeking the power of godliness.” Spiritual religion is beginning to be understood, truth more respected, conscience moi*e fully developed, and the voice o f family devotion heard in many of those dwellings.

No Idols.—It is probably the only spot in North India of equal extent, and having the same number of inhabitants, where there is not an idol, or idol temple, or Mohammedan mosque to be found ; where the ten commandments are the law of the community, or where “ the Sabbath of our God” is strictly honored, and “ the sound of

T H E O R P H A N A G E A N D P R IN T IN G -O F F IC E .

the church-going bell” is responded to by all not detained by illness or other lawful cause.*

Their Worship.—I was there not long since. It was the Sabbath ; the aspect of the congregation was very pleasing; as they sa t in Hindoo fashion upon the matted floor, their Bibles open on their laps, ready to read their verses alternately with the minister as he went through the “ first a n d second lessons,” I could hardly T e co g n iz e in their clean, tidy, a n d intelligent aspects the persons who two years ago worked upon our buildings in Bareilly as coolies, a n d n o t one of*whom then knew a letter of their mother tongue. And this is the effect, under God, of Christian instruction and their own industry. No one in that community but earns his own living. What they had to borrow in order to begin to cultivate their fawns they are now gratefully paying back agaip. Christianity may here be; said to be rooting itself in the soil. . A mighty influence for good ought to go out from such a center within a few years all over that region; and from that community especially may we expect to see coming forth the young men who will yet help to fill our training schools and biblical institute.

Deed fo r the Lands.—I have deeded the land to Brothers Parker and Hicks in trust for our society. They will see the government conditions carried out until the land is paid for, (about $1 25 per acre,) when it is to become the property of our India Mission Conference; and then whatever revenue it yields will remain for ever as a Home Mission Fund, to support schools and help to extend our work in this country. We have named our Christian village “ Wesleypore”—“ pore” meaning place or home.

Orphans.—Another special feature of our work during the past year has been the great increase of our orphanages, consequent upon “ the famine,” until we now have two hundred and twenty- eight orphans, (with eleven more at the different missions.) Of this number one hundred and forty-six are females. The value of these children to the future of our work in India has been already urged on the attention of our ministry and membership.

Need I say how deeply every member of this mission has sympathized with our suffering country during the year; and earnest indeed have been the prayers we have offered to God for the triumph of your arms, and the restoration of our country to the blessings of peace and prosperity. And for this we shall continue to pray.

I remain, dear brother, yours affectionately,W i l l i a m B u t l e r , Superintendent.

A N N U A L R E PO R T, 1802.To t h e C o r r e s p o n d i n g S e c r e t a r y .

D e a r B r o t h e r .—Another year has passed away, but we have still great reason to praise the Lord for his goodness to us. Only

, one of our little band has died, the wife of our dear Brother Achard; she died in peace. .

Our annual conference, which was held for the first time in Ludwigsburg, Wurtemberg, in the new chapel, was especially marked by the brotherly union. Though all the brethren, with the exception of two, received new appointments, there was in general such a resignation to the will of God as I never at any other conference found surpassed.

Oldenburg District has six circuits. During the.summer meetings can be held only on Sunday, for the people are obliged to attend to their work in the field till nine o’clock in the evening. We have here a real Methodistical work, and though we progress •slowly Ave go surely.

In Edewecht, where a blacksmith’s shop had been our chapel for several years, Brother Bruns undertook to build a chapel, and, being a carpenter by trade, he worked as much as his missionary labors permitted, and undertook the oversight, so that in this way lie saved at least four, hundred dollars to the building committee. ‘

Delmenhorst Circuit has, indeed, a very interesting society, and is growing constantly. The brethren would commence to assist considerably in the support of their preacher, but they have to buy, next May, the house which contains the chapel and parsonage for more than three thousand thalers gold, as the six years have passed «during which we agreed with the gentleman who bought and rebuilt the house for us to pay him one hundred and eighty thalers a year. The members will now raise as much money as they can to buy the property, and will borrow the rest at only four per <jent. interest.

Bremen District has only four appointments. Bremen itself is in better «condition than it was for several years. Vegesack is progressing, and Bremerhaven and Hamburg have very faithful members, zealous of good works, but only a few are added from time to time.

East, District.—Berlin, Brother Doering writes: “ The morning service is attended by from thirty to forty hearers, the evening service by from one hundred to one hundred and fifty. Prospects In general promising. A few souls, that seek the Lord,

JP^mmem, which has been chosen instead.of Oranienburg as a

1 8 6 3 .] FOREIGN GERM AN MISSION. 27%

new circuit, has from six to eight appointments. The meetings are well attended. There are many souls that have a desire to hear the word; a few are already awakened and seeking the Lord.

Saxony continues to prosper notwithstanding all persecutions by the different governments; and the different appointments, being about thirty miles in circumference, are situated in the dominions of six sovereign princes.

South District.—This district, in Frankfort-on-the-Main, we have this year especially to mention. Brother Hauser was sent there in June, and his audience became so large that the infidels, who had not taken notice of us at all, became alarmed and tried to disturb the congregation, and insulted our friends when leaving the house. He has now a large meeting room, and the landlord, who is very* kind to us, has promised to take care that no disturbance «hall take place. Frankfort, which seemed to be entirely in darkness, commences to give great promise for the future. Also the neighboring Duchy of Nassau seems to be open for us, and we have engaged Brother H. I. Schmidt, who labored a few years as a missionary in Wisconsin, as a colporteur.

Heilbronn has enjoyed a real revival, and more than fifty persons joined our society there on trial.

Ludwig sburg society has only a few men among its members, and that is a reason why it does not exercise more influence ; but we pray that the Lord may prove his power in converting men also, and he will do it. The appointments in .the country have large congregations and are promising.

A t Pforzheim, our first mission in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Brother Jacobsmuhlen received, only a few weeks ago, permission to hold meetings. It is a very thriving place, with many factories. In the neighboring country the work prospers.

Switzerland District.—Here our prospects are very promising; from all sides the Macedonian cry comes to us. There is also opposition and persecution, and in some places our people had to suffer; but in such cases they have been protected by the authorities. There are fifty classes in the district, and members are added from one week to the other and converted to God. The members grow in grace and the knowledge of God. Discipline is administered where it is necessary. The eight Sunday-schools are also bearing fruits, and some children have been converted.

Basle.—Here the church was dedicated to God on the 12th of October. The meetings are very well attended, and we have also a place for worship on the other side of the Rhine, which is also every time filled with attentive hearers.

28 MISSIONARY REPORT. £186,3 •

. Also in Xmtal, the capital of Basellandschaft, we have been able to open a. chapel, and with good success. About one hundred members were added since conference.

In Zurich the. chapel is entirely too small to hold those that wish to attend our meetings; and though.from seven to eight hundred hearers can find place, many have to leave again, and others do not attend because no feeble person could venture to stay there* a? it is so very close, if the whole room is filled with hearers. In the surrounding country we could well employ four preachers more ii we had men and means. The same can be said of Winterthur Circuit.

Biel and Lausanne have also better prospects than ever before.By the statistics you will see that Switzerland District has sup-

♦ported the work of God very riehly.Our Mission Institute has been richly blessed during the past

year. Thirteen brethren, who have received here a part of their education, (for they were too short a time here to go through the whole course,) are already'active in the work, and well received wherever they come. At present we have eight students, pious and diligent young men, and five of them are regularly occupied in preaching every Saturday and Sunday. Our societies have so far well provided for the wants of the institute, and we have not the least doubt that they will continue to do so as long as the institute is conducted in the right spirit.

Our Booh Concern has to go through great difficulties, as our business with America is entirely stopped on account of the high duty and low worth of money. Since conference we give also fifteen and twenty per cent, to the preachers, so that we fear the balance will show a loss instead of gain.

To the American Bible Society we are under very great obligar tion. W e have been enabled to stereotype a pocket Bible, wbich is of great use, and is the only one existing in Germany with references ; we can also provide many people with the precious Bible.

We have endeavored to give a table of the money collected for different purposes, to show to you and the Church that our people are zealous of good works. I have gathered the different items at conference, and send you a table winch shows what each district has done in the conference year 1861-62:

seventy-seven members have raised $7,529 93. North District having eight circuits, shows the smallest societies, which in the whole have raised two dollars and eighty-six cents on each member; this is the oldest field. East District has done still worse, one dollar and sixty-two cents on each member; but here is the poor Saxony, and the still poorer Berlin. South District has large societies, but raised two dollars and eighteen cents on each member, though Wurtemberg is a very poor country. Switzerland gains the prize .; the youngeBt societies but the largest collections, four dollars and thirty-one cents on each member. On the whole, I doubt not, you will acknowledge we have done well. May the Lord help us to do still better!

BISHOPS JANES a n d SIMPSON h a v e E p i s c o p a l S u p e r v i s i o n .

T I R N O Y A S T A T I O N . .A x b e r t L . L ong, Missionary.

To t h e C o r r e s p o n d i n g S e c r e t a r y ,D e a r B r o t h e r ,—In behalf of the Tirnova Station of our Bul

garian Mission, I beg leave to offer the following report for the closing year:

I report, with devout gratitude, the continued preservation of life and health of all the members of this mission station. "We have been brought safely through some political disturbances of a very serious nature, which threatened at one time materially to interrupt the operations of our mission in this city. Intense excitement pervaded our city for a few weeks, and many fears were entertained of a re-enactment of the Syrian tragedies, though on a much larger scale. Two nights my house was filled with Bulgarian friends, who came, men, women, and children, and begged the privilege of sleeping under our roof. Of course I could not refuse them. I gathered them together in our preaching-hall, and after reading the 14th chapter of John, invoked the protection of Him who alone can help; then ordered the lights extinguished, and every one to lie down to rest; and after having inspected the gates and doors, as well as .my revolvers, I laid down and slept soundly. At present quiet is restored.

In reviewing the religious history of this mission station during the past year, I regret to say that the advance made has been but slight. Were I inclined to look upon the dark side, I might find strong grounds for discouragement. First. In the fact that tho attendance upon public preaching has rather diminished than increased. Second. That even some whom we considered theoretically enlightened in regard to Gospel truths and Christian duties have not yet practically embraced those truths by entering upon the narrow way of Christian life. Third. In the fact that the mass o f the Bulgarian people, disheartened by their defeat in their ecclesiastical controversy with the more subtle and powerful Greeks, are

1863.] BULGARIA. Stin many districts, this one among the number, evidently relapsing into their former state of apathy, not only upon religious, Jbut even upon educational subjects.- The principal cause of the decrease in attendance has been the political disturbances already alluded to. The enemies of the mission did not omit to improve the opportunity to slander us before the government, but they signally failed; for although they succeeded at first in causing the pasha, who was a new man, to distrust me, yet he soon saw through the matter, and finally became quite intimate and confidential with me, which would give the same evil-disposed persons an opportunity of prejudicing the Bulgarians against me. But the grand and principal cause operating against the work of the Gospel here in Bulgaria is neither political nor religious; it is not their oppression by the Turks, and it is not their attachment to their religion ; but it lies simply in the fact that from infancy the people are trained to a disregard of the truth. There are doubtless exceptions; but in general we find among the Bulgarians no love fo r the truth.

I might mention another cause of our not having advanced during the past year so much as we might have expected.’ "While two Greek organs, conducted with considerable skill, (one Bulgarian journal, the organ of the Greek patriarchate and of the Russian embassy, and one Jesuit organ very ably edited,) have been the whole year pouring from their united batteries all sorts of missiles against Protestantism, we have not had a single gun with which to respond. Perhaps I may have felt it more sensibly than my brethren, from the fact that I alone have had the honor to be personally attacked.

We are not, however, without encouragement. Some advance has really been made. Evangelical truth is gaining position and influence with the people, and the people are gradually preparing for its reception, although this work of preparation may require years for its accomplishment. Our position is also beginning to be better understood, and our influence correspondingly increased. But we need a more thorough organization of the mission, and the aid of a printing establishment to create an evangelical Bulgarian literature.

A new feature of my work here during the past year is the opening of some very interesting religious intercourse with some of the Mussulman population, which increases in interest as I advance in my knowledge and use of the Turkish language, so as to express myself with accuracy on subjects requiring exact and delicate explanations.

Up to the present summer my intercourse with the Turks has been


vpry limited, confined almost exclusively to occasional congratulatory or formal visits to tlie governor or some of the beys or agas. Thus I formed but few acquaintances among them. I had frequently seen a tall, venerable old sheik, the chief of a convent of dervishes in this city. Seeing me passing a shop one day in which he was sitting, he called me in. He greeted me very familiarly, saying that he had been wondering why I never came to see him; that he had heard of me, and wished to become acquainted with me. I told him frankly that I had not visited him for the reason that I did not know that I wrould be welcome; but now, since he had invited me, I should certainly avail myself of the privilege. At his solicitation I sat down and had a long talk with him. Some of his words made a very peculiar impression upon me. I can only give here a few of his expressions. Said he, “ I never look whether a man wears a turban, or fez, or hat; I only try to look at his heart. I want to know if his heart is like mine. Does he love God ? I do not ask whether he prays in the name of the holy prophet Mohammed, (may his name be praised!) or whether he prays in the name of* the holy prophet Jesus, (may his name be praised!) I only ask, Does he know God? Not merely believe in God, but does he know God ? Does God dwell in his heart ?” After talking in this way some time he informed me that he was about starting for Constantinople, and that in view of his going away, although he hoped to return, yet he was old and might never come back; he bad gone round and visited each of the Bulgarian churches in the city, and as he passed through them he had said a prayer that God might convert the people from their errors. At length, when I took my leave of him, he shook my hand affectionately, and bidding me good-by, he said solemnly, “ Perhaps we may not meet here on earth again, but at one place I shall see you,” pointing upward with his long, bony hand; “ on that great and final day of God I shall see you again, and I pray that we may both so live that we may know God, and spend eternity together in his presence.” I said amen to the old man’s prayer, pressed his hand, and left him with my mind full of strange thoughts.

During the most of the past summer our preaching services at Sistof have been interrupted on account of sickness in the family of the friend at whose house I preached, but I hope soon to be able to resume them. I am operating in the surrounding towns from time to time as occasion offers, both personally and by letter. Our Bulgarian helper and colporteur, Gabriel, is also going about from place to place, selling the Scriptures where purchasers are found, reading them to the people, praying with them, and exhorting them

1863.] BULGARIA. 33

to a life of faith in Christ. Priest Demetrius still continues to visit me for religious conversation in spite of his opponents. *

Though laboring under many discouragements, and feeling compelled in candor to state that we have but little hope of any speedy or great results to this mission unless the sphere of our operations be speedily enlarged, we are still as firmly as ever resolved, by the grace of God, to labor on patiently in the use of the means in our possession, humbly praying his blessing upon them.

Yours truly, A l b e r t L . L ong.

D e a r B r o t h e r ,—We are mercifully brought to the close of another year of mission life. Like the years which have preceded, it has been a season of labor and trial, but of consolation and hope. Important events have occurred, both in the ecclesiastical situation of the Bulgarians, for whose spiritual good we labor, and in our views of the manner in which the work should be prosecuted. A national council of Bulgarians, composed of lay representatives from the different dioceses of the province, after spending many months at Constantinople in negotiating with the sublime porte for distinct recognition and a separate hierarchy from the Greeks, has dissolved without obtaining the desired object. It is probable that the old state of things will again prevail: the higher ecclesiastical offices be filled by Greeks, who will use every effort to hold the people in subjection.

On the other hand, I have been slowly and reluctantly brought to the conclusion that but little can be hoped for in the work of evangelizing this people without the separate organization of such of them as are sufficiently enlightened, and the supplying them with those means of grace which Scripture and experience prove to be so efficient in the salvation of men. The hope of reviving, as a body, this ancient Church, which has fallen into decay, must, I am confident, be abandoned, and a more aggressive policy instituted. But this will require, a missionary force, together with the means of printing, schools, and the various instrumentalities of all successful missions. The most observable progress of the year is the strong and decided moral influence wjiich by the divine blessing we. now exert in the community. Formerly he who derided Protestantism loudly, advanced his influence and respectability by so doing; now the aontrast is such as to attract general attention. Indeed, it is very creditable to be on friendly terms with us.

Mutiomuy Report 3

M ISSIO N A R Y REPORT. [1868.

The papists, who during the last year failed in an attempt to unite the Bulgarians with Rome, have, since the adjournment of the Constantinople council, taken fresh courage and redoubled their efforts. The former plan was to make the Bulgarians Romanists entire; but now they will be satisfied for the Bulgarians to retain the dogmas of the Greek Church, with all their present forms and

* ceremonies, if they will only acknowledge the pope as their ecclesiastical head, and pay into his ¿offers instead of to the patriarch at Constantinople, in consideration for the French protection so confidently promised. My judgment is that they will not accomplish much.

I trust and pray that our Church will ere long appreciate the vast importance of this mission, and that the Board will be enabled to establish it upon a broad and secure foundation.

Tours very sincerely, W e s l e y P k e t t y m a n .

School Statistics.— The expenses of day and Sunday-schools from January 1 up to date, including the addition made to the school- house, are as follows:

D ebt........................................................................................................... $228 «4Of this paid by Mends here................................................................ 47 84

School indebted this day, (no date; say Oct.— Chr. Sec.) $180 TOTultcha Station has 1 missionary; 1 female assistant missionary; 2 fall members (Russians); 2 probationers; 1 probationer removed with certificate to America; 1 school-house, with improvements, valued at $400; debt on it of last year, $140; day-schools, 2 ; male assistants, 3 ; female assistant, 1 ; scholars lost this year by death and removal, 24; regular attendance of children, 65-70; baptisms during the year, 10; Sunday-schools, 2 ; average attendance, 45-50 children; teachers, 5 ; Sunday-school Bible classes, 3 ; volumes in library, 80, and will soon be increased; missionary collection for the year, $18 70; Sunday-School Union collection, #5 06; Sunday- School Missionary collection, $5 06.

The temporal affairs of this station do not look so encouraging as they should, and as I wish they would, but there are several reasons for this: First. T^e destruction of the harvest by the locusts, and the ruin brought on by the emigration and re-emigration. Secondly. The confinement of myself to the school-room most of the summer. Thirdly. The inability to visit the German and Russian friends in South Russia, when they expected a visit;

1863.] BULGARIA. 35my severe sickness prevented me, for which I feel very sorry, for I believe that, had I been able to make that trip, a considerable sum of the debt would have been removed by the friends of the mission there. But I am happy to say, that in a spiritual point of view the mission has gained much. The operations here comprise several fields.

First, the Molohans in Russia.—The work among them is carried on by correspondence in the Russian language, and it was more frequent and of a more spiritual and evangelical character than before. Second, the Molokans here, some of whom also have made a good step forward, after disputing to their utmost, and doubting the possibility of justification by faith, independent of works of the law, and also the possibility of receiving the witness of the spirit and adoption; but they are now among their brethren defending these doctrines.

The German Colonists in Russia.—Among these the sale of our German publications continues, and awakenings are multiplied by them; for many who at my visit last year refused to attend the so-called meetings of the (Brueder) brothers, now delight in them and give proof of the change of their hearts.

The Germans in Tultcha and in the neighboring Villages.— To the first I preach once every Sabbath during the year, and it seems not in vain, for some seem to be awakened and seeking Christ. In view of the advice of Brothers Jacoby and Warren to commence a separate church organization among the Germans, I have on the last two Sabbaths read and explained our gSneral rules and articles of faith in German, (which, by the way, were also translated by me in the Russian language, and also the Sunday- school question-book on the Old and New Testament,) and shall, Sunday after next, give an invitation to join us. The Germans in the three villages, who have for some months been without a Lutheran pastor, I visited several times upon their request, preaching in the morning and holding missionary meetings in the afternoon, all of which were well attended. In one of these colonies there are, as in Russia, a number of persons who meet out of church hours for religious edification. Lately a person of rank, claiming, in the absence of a pastor, the protectorate*over these colonies, visited them and inquired who preached for them, who baptized and married now among ¿hem? Receiving the answer that they call on me, and that I do it, he said to them, I was no pastor, but only a missionary, and also a Methodist; and other things he said.also to put them against me; hut it was not received by all, for this very hour those spoken of have sent one of their


number to me to ask whether they could not commune with us the Sunday after next. As you may think, I invited them, and expect and pray for a glorious time. May..God grant it, and put to shame the slanderers.

On the whole I believe that God’s pleasure rests on this mission, and that if he gives me grace and the assistance of his Spirit to remain humble at the feet of Christ my Master and Lord, and health to do the work a,s opportunities offer, then I hope to see yet abundant fruits of our labors. In the mean time I am thankful to God for what success he has given. May the Church, and you, dear brother, continue to pray for us.

Very truly yours in Christ,F. W- Flocken, Missionary.

SCANDINAYIA.Co p e n h a g e n , D e n m a r k , January 15, 1863.

To t h e C o r r e s p o n d i n g S e c r e t a r y .D e a r B r o t h e r , —My last letter to you was dated November 8 ,

and I hereby acknowledge the receipt of yours of November 4 and 20. In submitting to you my annual report of the Scandinavian Mission, giving you an account of our labors and success on this mission, I feel constrained to acknowledge the goodness of God, and to praise his name for his continued blessing upon our work. The Lord has done great things for us; may we be faithful in the great work confided to our hands. On all the missions the work is in a progressive state, and the presence of the Lord is with us in the conversion of sinners. Opposition is in some places at the highest pitch, but in spite of all we are gaming ground. Our people are growing in knowledge and in grace, and our numbers are increasing. The full salvation of the Gospel is what the Scandinavians particularly need, and wherever it is proclaimed it has its blessed effects. We hope to see the day when the power of our blessed religion shall be felt by thousands of Scandinavians now in darkness. God grant that it may be soon!

Copenhagen.—Here I am laboring, assisted by Brother Doblong. W e are doing the best we can, not sparing ourselves; and, thank God! we have some success in winning the people for Christ. Much more could be done here if we had a church. As for myself, I must say that amid all my trials, and they have not been few the past year, I have been greatly comforted and encouraged in preaching the Gospel, and I trust the day of eternity will reveal that it was not in vain. God has wonderfully sustained us both physically and spiritually. Brother Doblftng is well received by the people, and he is faithful at his work. May the Lord bless itim, and make him very successful in winning souls for Christ!

FrederiJcshald, B r o t h e r S t e e n s e n , Missionary.—This brother, well known to be a workman, is always at his post in season and out of season, and the Lord is with him. He is abundant in labor, and his labor is not in vain in the Lord. An encouraging state of things is everywhere apparent, and numbers have been converted at different points of his work. The Sabbath-school here, and I may say, our Sa'bbath-schools in general, have been well attended


during the past year, deportment of the children has been very encouraging to us, and the teachers are happy in being employed in this labor of love.

Sarpsborg.—Here B r o t h e r C e d e r h o l m is laboring. He stands firm and is rejoicing. Jn regard to the work here, I am happy to say it appears that the bond of love and unity of the Spirit is growing between the brethren. Our last quarterly meeting was a sweet and refreshing time to us all. The members and new converts are walking in the ways of the Lord, and giving proof of their conversion by their fruits.

FrederiJcstad, B r o t h e r Lab sen t, Missionary.— I am happy to be able to report to you the continued health and prosperity of this mission. Its spiritual state is very encouraging, and the work gives promise of much valuable fruit. The missionary is at his post, laboring earnestly for the salvation of souls, and tie Lord is pleased to bless and prosper.

JPorsgrund, B r o t h e r H a u s e n , Missionary.—The people and the. preacher here are working together in harmony. Brother Hansen writes to me: “ We rejoice and are determined to fight on, and that cheerfhlly. May God help us to keep the shield and use the sword, that the kingdom of God may be promoted among us!”

FJdsbirg, Holand, Trogstad, and Modnes, B r o t h e r P. O ls e n , Missionary.—He is assisted by B r o t h e r H a n s e n , an exhorter. The Lord is working here to his ofm glory. Souls are converted, and “ we all feel to praise the Lord,” writes Brother Olsen. At the last quarterly meeting quite a number came as far as seven Norway miles, (about forty-eight English.) The poor brethren, in order to be able to finish thfeir church, have denied themselves almost the necessaries of life; but they are happy in God their Saviour. Enningdalen is visited by our local preachers that are not regularly employed, and good is being done. The prospects are brightening, glory be to God!

Veile Mission is under the care o f B rother Smith , and exhibits a prosperity and health o f development m ore than usual. The number o f his ¡band is small, yet constantly increasing. Brother Smith keeps close to the cross, and lives for the L ord and for eternity. W e are looking for great things on thisnnission.

Svendborg, B r o t h e r M. N i e l s s e n , Missionary.—With regard to the work here, we have cause to believe that God is blessing it ; though opposition here is perhaps greater than it has been in any other place, yet our prospects for good are fair. We have organized a small society here, and we believe that there will soon be a growing, living Church.

1863.] SCANDINAVIA. 39Finally, when I survey the whole, and consider what the Lord

has done and is doing for us, I desire to shout the praises of God and the Lamb. But I long to see more of the salvation of God, for there are thousands ̂ et around us that are total strangers to that kingdom which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. O may the day soon come when we shall be able to carry, the glad tidings of great joy to all these people! What a work is before us here, where so many precious souls are yet living without God and without hope in the world! I recommend them to the sympathies, the prayers, the enlarged liberality, and holy zeal of the Church. Requesting an interest in your prayers for the prosperity of God’s work in Scandinavia, I remain,

Yours respectfully,C. WnYLERUP.

D ea% , B r o t h e r ,—The China -Mission begs to forward you its usual Annual Report. We close another year of our operations with profound gratitude to God for his varied and great mercies to us. W e have been favored with a good degree of health, and with excellent facilities for the prosecution of our work ; and we are happy to report healthy action and reasonable progress in every department of our operations.

1863.3 CHINA. 41

TH E C ITY W O R K .Fuhehau, with its population of six hundred thousand (600,000)

souls, furnishes a vast field for missionary efforts. During the past year our labors in this city have been favorably affected by the friendly relations which, happily, have continued to exist between China and Western Nations. The prejudices of the Chinese a r e

gradually passing away, and we are anxious to avail ourselves to the utmost of the new order o f things here. The American Board Mission has just settled two families within the city wall, on a very eligible site which they purchased from the Chinese, and on which they have built two good dwelling-houses. The Church of England Mission, which from the first has been located within the city wall, has recently purchased two sites for chapels on the two most important streets of the city. Our mission has not yet obtained any place within the wall for residence or chapel, but we are now making efforts in this direction, and hope to succeed. In our mission estimates for 1863, which were forwarded from here last July, we introduced one item ($2,000) for a church within the city A vail,

and we hope you may be able to grant the appropriation. Hitherto we have been restricted to street-preaching within the city wall; but the time has now come when it is practicable for us to make a permanent basis for our labors there, and we very greatly desire the authority and means for doing so.

Ching Sing Tong, (True God’s Church.)—This is our most important appointment in Fuhehau. The church edifice stands on the great southern thoroughfare leading to the city, and within a short distance of the south gate. It is a substantial structure, and is in fine order. W e keep it open every day throughout the year, and from it the Gospel has sounded out far and wide. There has been an interesting work of grace at this appointment during the past year, and ten candidates were baptized and received into the Church. A Sunday-school has recently been organized here, and placed under the care of one of the native brethren. The appointment has been under my care, but all the brethren of the mission have labored in the Church. The class contains fcventy-four members. The value of the church property is twenty-five hundred dollars, ($2,500.)

Tien An^Tong, (Heavenly IJest Church.)—At this appointment,, which immediately adjoins our mission compound, we have a good church property worth three thousand dollars, ($3,000,) and a class

42 MISSIONARY KEPORT. [1863.

of twenty members. The charge has been under Brother Gibson’s care during the greater part of the past year, and has enjoyed a good degree of prosperity. Six have been baptized and added to the Church since the date of our last Annual Report. A large and flourishing Sunday-school, under the care of Brother Sites, has exerted a fine influence at this appointment during the year.

Kuaninchang and Ato.—These are two small street chapels in the suburb on the south bank of the river. All the brethren of the mission have labored at these chapels, and thus a large amount of Christian truth has been sent forth among the people. A spirit of ¡inquiry concerning the Gospel is springing up among the hearers at the Ato Chapel, and we are looking and praying for the speedy outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this portion of our work.

Provincial Treasury.—This is an open-air appointment within / the city wall, which we have occupied during the past year. There

is a spacious open court in front of the treasury building, and under the overarching boughs of immense banyans there, I have had the privilege of preaching the Gospel. In general, our hearers receive our message with apparent interest, and treat us with respect; occasionally, however, we have painful evidence that the offense of the cross has not ceased, and we are counted worthy to suffer reproach for Christ’s sake.

Boys' Boarding-School.—This school continues under Brother Gibson’s care, but is now temporarily supervised by Brother Martín, who furnishes the following report:

“ Since my connection with the school, the boys have demeaned themselves in. a way highly commendatory to them. Their progress in study has been very satisfactory. During the year the two oldest boys, Ing Kuang and Ing Sieng, having completed their fall term of study, were graduated. Ing Kuang is serving Brother Binkley as personal teacher, and Ing Sieng is serving an apprenticeship in the printing office. Both of these boys are members of the Church, and are capable of doing good service in the mission. Early in.the ye^p one boy was dismissed for bad conduct.

“ There are now twelve regular scholars in the school, two others are on trial, making in all fourteen, one more than last year. Of the present number four have been baptized and received into the Church, and give good evident^ of having passecfeifrom death unto life. One of the boys, probably the best scholar in the school, the son of a man connected with a mandarin’s office, is a hopeful

1863.] CHINA. 48candidate for baptism. He is a great favorite in the school, and with all who know him.

“ The entire expenses of the school from September 30, 1861, to September 30, 1862, including salary of native teacher, stationery, and boo^s, as well as food and clothing, have been five hundred and two dollars, ($502.) In closing, I would say that I think the school well worthy of the sympathy, the prayers, and the means of the Church. It has already shown itself a power for good. The want of a larger appropriation is a source of regret. The school-building can well accommodate a much larger number of boys. During the past, year there have been many applications from parents to put their boys in the school, but for want of funds they could not be received.”

Girls' Boarding-School.—This growing school has been named the “ Baltimore Female Seminary,” and the Ladies’ China Missionary Society of Baltimore contributes largely to its support. The following report of its operations is from Miss B. Woolston, who, in connection with her sister, Miss S. H. Woolston, has charge of the school:

“ The number of pupils in the girls’ boarding-school is fifteen, and the amount of money expended is four hundred dollars for the year about to close. The girls are uniformly diligent, obedient, and truthful. Most of the larger ones understand that the object for which they are admitted into the school is to become acquainted with the Christian doctrines, and on their return to their homes they will be expected to teach the same, so far as practicable, to their people. They already seem to realize that there is great power in prayer, and some of them have the habit of frequently retiring for private devotions. As yet but one of them has made a public profession of religion. On March 9 JTü Sung Eng was baptized and received into the Church, since which time she has maintained an exemplary Christian deportment, and her influence over the other girls is most salutary. She has received the name “ May Mar̂ |tt Irving,” from the young ladies of the Irving Institute, Mechariicsburg, Pa., by whom she is supported. The school seems to be slowly gaining the confidence of the Chinese, and we hope to obtain in a few years as many pupils as we can take charge of.”

Printing Office.—This important branch of our mission is now in, successful operation. The office is supplied with.one of Hoe’s Washington Presses, which works admirably 5 also with a small


font of three-line diamond type, in Chinese; a small font of English type for Anglo-Chinese text-books, and the usual appliances of a printing establishment. We employ a Canton foreman, and three Fuhchau assistants. A convenient office building has been put up, and is now in use. There have been printed in the office gne thousand copies of. a duodecimo tract of twenty-two pages, entitled “ Doctrines and Miracles;” five thousand copies of St. Matthew’s Gospel, five hundred copies of St. John’s Gospel, and five thousand copies of St. Mark’s Gospel. We hope during the coming year to add to our font of Chinese type, so as to work the press with increased efficiency.

Translation o f the Scriptures.—The importance of translating the Bible into the spoken language of this people, and the large amount of critical labor we have given to this work, entitle the subject to a prominent notice in our Annual Report. Our experience has entirely satisfied us that a well-executed colloquial translation of the sacred Scriptures is essential to the success of our effort» to evangelize this people. By this remark we do not wish to disparage translations in the general language of China. Both styles of translation are needed, and we freely use them; still we have found that in Fuhchau and its surroundings the Word of God, in the colloquial style, is emphatically the peoples Bible. About thirteen years since the Rev. M. C. White, of this mission, issued an experimental translation of St. Matthew’s Gospel, and the experiment was so satisfactory to us that we at once prepared a revised edition of the work, and have continued to translate in this style as opportunity offered. During the past year a committee, comprising the older members of the mission, has devoted a large portion of time to this work. The entire Gospel of St. Matthew has been very carefully revised, and we have advanced with the work to the thirteenth chapter of St. Mark’s Gospel. We hope to continue this work till we complete the translation of the New Testament, and then we shall proceed to translate at least portions of the Old Testament in the same style. beg an interest in the prayers of the Church while we go iorward with this great work.

Foundling Asylum.—Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Maclay have had charge of this institution during the past year, and its beneficent operations have been attended by very satisfactory results. Ten foundlings have been received during the year, and the entire number of foundlings now in the asylum is eighteen. The aBylum

1868.] CHINA. 45

receives a generous support from the resident foreign community, and from the Chinese. The resident foreign community contributed last year three hundred and twenty dollars, ($320,) and the Chinese contributed four hundred and fifty-three dollars, ($453.) In addition to these sums, we received from a resident member of the foreign community a “ Christmas box,” containing one thousand dollars, ($1,000,) in aid of the asylum. This munificent donation we have placed on interest as a sinking fund for the institution. Two of the older foundlings have been adopted by Christian Chinese parents, who are members of our Church; and we anticipate no difficulty in finding Christian homks for all the little innocents the asylum may rescue from the fate of infanticide.

I now prooeed to notice

T H E C O U N T R Y W O R K .

Westward from Fuhchau the surface of the country is mountainous, and dotted with innumerable villages and cities, containing populations varying from a few hundreds to some tens of thousands. Through this territory flows the Min river, from the north-west to the south-east, furnishing us a convenient means of transit in our itineraries. W e have sought to enter this portion of China just as fast and as far as former treaty stipulations would permit, and now that the country is in a manner thrown open to us, we are anxious to occupy it efficiently. What we have now to report is only the initiation of this grand westward movement of Protestant Christianity right through the heart of China. May God speed the cause!

Ngu Kang and K oi Hung.—These two appointments, some two miles apart, are situated about thirteen miles westward from Fuhchau. Brother Gibson has had charge of the work at these places, assisted by Brother Sites. The native members have made encouraging progress in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Three adults have been baptized and added to the Church since our last annual report. The parsonage at Ngu Kang has been improved during the year, and the lot has been inclosed by a wall. W e are now making arrangements for placing a mission family at this point for the coming year, and it is probable Brother Sites will take the appointment. W e regard this as a most important movement, opening up, as it does, a new era in the history of our mission. God bless the pioneers in this glorious work!


Kanchia.—-This appointment is some twenty miles westward from Fuhchau, and is situated in the suburbs of a large town called Kanchia, (sweet sugar cane,) which contains perhaps twenty thousand inhabitants. We have a^mall class here, numbering eleven members. From the first we have had to struggle against bitter opposition, and otir church members have «passed through some severe trials. One adult baptism and two deaths have occurred in connection with this class during the year. greatly need asmall chapel at Kanchia, and we are making earnest efforts to obtain one. The appointment has been under my care during the year.

Sieu Meh K ’a, (Little Eye Creek.)—This is a new appointment we have opened up during the year. It is about thirty miles west of Fuhchau, and lies in a pretty valley running southward from the Min river. There are six inquirers here, under the care of one of our native helpers. The people have manifested great hostility to the Gospel, and one of our helpers was most cruelly beaten by them. The case was at once taken up by W. H. Carpenter, Esq., United States Consul for Fuhchau, whose vigorous efforts induced the Chinese authorities to give their attention to the subject, so that we hope there will be no repetition of the outrage.

(See table on opposite plge.)

P E R S O N A L M O VEM EN TS OF M ISSIO N A R IE S.Early in the past year the Rev. Dr. Wentworth was compelled

by the protracted illness of Mrs. Wentworth to accompany her to the United States, and our latest advices from him indicate that, in all probability, he will never be able to resume his labors in this mission-field. We feel assured, however, that he will always tiher- ish a lively interest in our mission, and we look with confidence for highly important results to this mission from the efforts which both his talents and knowledge of the work will enable him to make in our behalf throughout our Church in the United States.

Mrs. Gibson having become extremely feeble, so that a change was absolutely essential in her case, and as Brother Gibson also was much exhausted by his incessant labors, the mission deemed it advisable to adopt some measure for their relief. Accordingly, in June, 1862, Brother Gibson was authorized to take his family on a pioneer trip to Japan. They.arrived safely at Kanagawa or Yokohama about the 21st of July, and haring spent nearly three months in that delightful climate, are now probably on their return voyage to Fuhchau. Our latest intelligence from them is con-

tained in a letter from Brother Gibson,- dated Yokohama, September 13, 1862. He says: “ We are thankful that up to this time the Lord has preserved us all. Willie and Mrs. Gibson are both much stronger than when we left you in June, Eddie is improving, Myra about as usual. My health is good.”

March 21, 1862, the mission was cheered and reinforced by the safe arrival at Fuhchau of the Rev. S. L. Binkley and Mrs. Binkley, from the United States.

The Rev. S. L. Baldwin and wife are now probably in Hong Kong, en route from New York to Fuhchau, and we expect them here about the first of October.

T R A IN IN G OF N A T IV E H E L P E R S .We continue our efforts to give a systematic and thorough train

ing to our native helpers. Our plan of quarterly examinations succeeds admirably. These examinations are held in connection with the quarterly meetings at the Tieng Ang appointment. A course of study is issued at the beginning of each quarter, and every helper is expected to prepare himself for a. close examination upon it at the next quarterly meeting. During the quarter each missionary assists the native helpers under his care in preparing for the examination, and these studies are not suffered to interfere with the regular pastoral duties of the helpers. We.trust them to preach while they study and to study while they preach.

A N N U A L MEETING- OF TH E M ISSION.The annual meeting of the mission for this year was held in the

Tieng Ang Church, commencing Monday, Sept. 29, and closing Wednesday, October 1, 1862. The sessions were held from nine and a half to twelve and a half each forenoon. On Monday forenoon the session consisted, of a kind of conference love-feast. The missionaries and native helpers met together for recital of experience and thanksgiving with reference to the closing year. It was a blessed season. Tuesday’s session was occupied by the mission in settling financial matters, and arranging the plan of the work for next year. Wednesday forenoon both missionaries and helpers met in the Tien Ang Church, and the session was occupied with n.nnouncing the appointments and devotional exercises conducted with reference to the labors of the coming year. Printed copies of the plan of appointments, in Chinese, were distributed; and one copy, suitably mounted, was posted in a conspicuous part of the church for general examination.

A feeling' of deep solemnity pervaded all the exercises of this annual meeting, and all present felt that God was with us of a truth. I believe the fruits of this meeting will be seen in the increased zeal and faithfulness of both missionaries and helpers during the year on which we have just entered. “ And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, ti&e work of our hands establish thou it.”

The above plan of appointments embraces eight new fields of labor. To nearly all these places we have already made occasional visits, and now, under the passport system, introduced by the recent treaties, we hope to occupy them with some good degree of efficiency.

I cannot close this report without bearing testimony to the zeal and efficiency of all the members of this mission, and to the spirit of love and harmony which prevails in our midst as a mission. Our native members also give us much satisfaction, notwithstanding the inevitable trials to which their occasional missteps subject us. W e are endeavoring, from the first, to train our converts to self-reliance and enterprise, and we think it highly creditable to them that during the year they have, by their own contributions, supported a native helper, paying him $3 50 per month.

The country is opening before us, and God is evidently preparing the way for the triumph of the Gospel in this great empire. Commending ourselves and our work to the prayers and contributions of the Church, I am, dear brother,

Yours very truly, R. S . M a c l a y .

AFRICA.W e have no report from tins mission for our Annual Report.

But the correspondence of tlie year shows a healthy state, some advance among the natives, but not such general prosperity as we have anxiously and long looked for.

SOUTH AMERICA.W e have to regret also that we have no report from our

South American Mission. The current correspondence for the year shows a very healthy internal condition of the mission and congregation; and an earnest desire, and a readiness to extend the mission into the campana, if the men and the means were famished. These may yet come when the clouds which now hang over our country shall clear away.


DOMESTIC MISSIONS.

A M E R IC A N M ISSIONS. Commenced in '1812.

By these onr readers will understand our native citizens,W _or those speaking our own tongue. We can give but an imperfect view of these missions, though from a work which during the year 1862 has occupied the hearts and hands of nearly or quite eight hundred (800) laborers, supported in whole or in part by the Missionary Society, the Church may be expecting a more detailed account.

Suppose, as an illustration of the whole work, we give them a single chapter:

I . The O r e g o n C o n f e r e n c e , as it now is, was wholly missionary ground in 1834. Rev. Jason Lee preached the first sermon on Sabbath, September 28, of that year, ever preached west of the Rocky. Mountains; this was at Fort Vancouver. December 14 he preached again, and baptized four women and fifteen children. See their present condition:N umbers. Sun day -Schools.

§ 4 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1863.

DOM ESTIC AM O N G F O R E IG N PO PU LATION S.

FRENCH MISSIONS, COMMENCED IN 1820.W e have before announced that the policy of our Church is to

Americanize our people of foreign tongues as fast as possible. This policy will explain how it is that there is an apparent diminution in the numbers of the churches of these people, and, in some cases, of laborers among them. These facts will appear in the General Minutes, as well as in this Annual Report. And further, it will be borne in mind that since the commencement of the rebellion immigration has almost entirely ceased. A ll that is in our power to say of the French Mission is, We have one missionary, with twenty-nine members.

W ELSH MISSIONS, COMMENCED IN 1828.Last year we reported missions in six different conferences.

This year, it will be seen, we report but two; the others have been transferred to the American Churches contiguous to them. These people have shown great attachment for the economy of our Church and the land of their adoption. The following are the statistics:

GERMAN MISSIONS, COMMENCED IN 1836.The youth bom among us, no matter of what population,

A mong no portion of our adopted fellow-citizens is love for America and her institutions more manifest than with these. Witness their patriotism in Soaking to the Union Army. These causes, with that other we have named before, namely, the arrest of immigration in consequence of the war, have very largely affected these missions. But whatever occurs,

SCANDINAVIAN.

N"e w Y o r k Sw e d is h M issio n at the Bethel ship. The R e v . O . P . P e te r so n , Missionary, writes concerning his work the past year and at present:

We have preaching four times and prayer-meetings four times in the week, and three class-meetings. Our Sabbath morning congregations were never larger nor more attentive, an iinusually large number of Scandinavian vessels being now in our port, and so indeed the case has been during the year past.

We cannot report any special work of grace, but a steady growth and a steady increase. The present state illustrates the general condition of our work. There are now several persons under deep conviction. One said last night in our meeting that the burden of his sin had become intolerable, and fell down upon his knees and cried for mercy. We all united with him in prayer. Four of our precious brethren have left us for the land of life during the past year—three from America, and one from Sweden having gone home to visit his parents and friends, among whom he was regarded as a burning and shining light.

Brother Johnson, our ship-keeper, is also a fellow-helper in the Gospel. He has made over two hundred visits to Scandinavian vessels, and more to boarding-houses, successfully inviting parties to church, and distributing among them a vast amount of reading in tracts and books. He has also, with myself, distributed twa hundred and thirteen volumes of the sacred Scriptures.


J a m e st o w n a n d S u g a r G r o v e M issio n , Erie Conference.— The superintendent reports:

1. The congregations are as large as could be expected in this time of the war excitement. The people who hear the Word are attentive and serious. There has been no special revival of religion in the mission this year.

2. The members of society on the mission are living in peace, and are strict in the. observance of the means of grace.

3. Several of the young men of the Church have gone from this mission to the war, and a few have fallen—some on the field of battle, others by sickness.

4. The property of the mission consists of a good church building and two lots in Jamestown, N. Y ., valued at $1,600. The whole is free of debt.

5. The mission raised« for the general cause of missions last year the sum of $22 75. Also sent to the missionary in Minnesota, for those who suffered by the Indians, $30 00.

6. The missionary, Rev. S. B. Newman, is still the same faithful and laborious servant of God,'being “ instant in season and out of season.” His heart is in the work of the Lord, and he will never betray the trust that the Church has committed to him.

S w e d is h M iss io n D ist r ic t , Central Illinois Conference, R e v . P e t e r C h a l l m a n , Presiding Elder. He gives the following account of his work:

Indiana Mission.—In consequence of emigration to the further West we have but nine members left here, though we have a good church edifice. Our members are a credit to us. We have another society within the bounds of this mission of twenty members, but four years ago we had not a people where we now number these. They themselves were hateful and hating one another, but are now washed and sanctified, and are of those who rejoice because then* names are written in heaven.

Buena Vista.—In this place there is a sparse settlement of our countrymen, to whom we are carrying the glad tidings.

Beaver.—Here we have a society of sixty-three members, with a good church. Our people in this society are a living, useful people.

Chicago Mission.—We have a good church and one hundred ■and seventy-one members, forty-one of whom have united with us during the past year. Several have come from our societies in

1863.] DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 57

Norway, bringing their certificates with them. The Church is growing, and so is the Sunday-school.

Calumet, a neighboring society, is connected with Chicago. We hare not formed a class, but the prospect is very encouraging. There is more work to be done in and about Chicago for our people than any one man can attend to. ,

Lasalle Mission.—At this center we have twenty members. At Mission Point we have twenty-five more, and have built a new church. At Otterecht we have also fifteen members.

Victoria Mission.—This is one of our oldest missions. We have a church, a parsonage, and eighty-two members. In a settlement at the distance of seven miles we have another society, and sixty- nine members in Church fellowship. At La Fayette we have ten members. At Kewanee we have eighteen members, with good prospects, the people generally truly awakened. At another place, called Rodok, we have fourteen members. This has been a successful mission, and much people have been added to the Lord. Many having removed further west, have laid the foundations for

%ew societies.Galesburgh Mission.—A powerful revival has occurred during

the year; we have ninety-three members. At an appointment in this mission we have another company of members numbering fifty. There are several smaller societies in a hedlthy state.

Fairfield Mission.—Here we have sixty-four members. At Burlington we have a church and twenty-four members. At two other appointments we have from twelve to fourteen members each.

Webster Mission.—A most blessed camp-meeting was held in this mission, and fifteen souls converted. We have a church and two regular preaching-places, with a membership of seventy persons.

Moline Mission is yet small. There are thirty members here, and some other appointments of promise.

New Boston.—We have twenty-two members, with several appointments where we are yet to reap fruit.

Andover Mission.—We have a church with one hundred and four members. We have another church in this mission with eighteen members, and another class of eight members. We expect this mission will soon be self-supporting.

Rockford Mission.—This is the youngest of our missions, but a great work has been wrought among the people. The mission is but three years old; we have a church and fifty members. Our people have a religious paper, a hymn book, and

58 MISSIONARY REPORT. 11863.

other good books and tracts in their own tongue. So, singing our Methodist hymns in our churches here, we hope to continue in this service until we sing the “ new song*’ in the Church in heaven!

The work among the Scandinavians in these regions was begun by Rev. J. J. Hedstrom, when as yet there were no believers in our form of faith. In 1847 the work of conversion commenced, and now we number in the work, as the statistics show, traveling preachers, local preachers, exhorters, and leaders, with the other officers common to our best American societies. Our work is spread over a great extent of country, and is growing on our hands. We are not without opposition, but we are not forsaken ; on the contrary, converts are increased, and all the glory belongs to the Lord.

Sc a n d in a v ia n M iss io n D ist r ic t , Minnesota Conference. The superintendent, R e v . E. Sh o g r e n , reports:

The power of God by his Word is manifested among the peopldf his loving-kindness has been over us the past year. Notwithstanding the war and the Indian trouble, we are better off than I could have possibly hoped early last fall. We are now going on oui way rejoicing.

Winneshiek Mission, formerly known as Pleasant Prairie and Washington Prairie Missions, has an earnest people, who promised $150 toward the support of a preacher. Brother C. G. Fosberg was sent to them, and I learn that the divine blessing rests upon his labors.

Kandiyohi.—Last year this mission was located, or rather commenced, over one hundred miles from St. Paul, due west; but this year most of the people live thirty miles from St. Paul, and others are much scattered, on account of the terrible Indian raid, which broke up so many prosperous settlements. Our people, and many others, can be reached with the Word of God, although the missionary has much ground to travel over.

jBrother Johnson, the missionary, is a son of consolation to these people. I am in much trouble to procure him a horse, that he may do the greater good. As it now is, he has to travel from fifty to sixty and seventy miles on foot. This he has done several times this conference year already. I am in great anxiety about the people, who could now be visited with good effect.

No others o f our mission in this district have been disturbed;

1868.] DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 59they are doing well. The Lord is at work among us, and sinners are coming home. A few of our members have departed to their everlasting home during the year; they left us with either perfect peace or joyous triumph. Having been converted under our ministry, we have thus had our doctrine confirmed as being of God. *

THE D E P A R T E D OF J862.

R e y . N a t h a n B a n g s , D.D., finished his course May 3,1862. u The fir-trees mourn, for the cedar is fallen.” From the time our departed father entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in 1802, “ he was clad with zeal as a cloak.” Our melancholy province is to make a record of his relation to the Missionary Society, as the author of the constitution under which it was organized, on the 5th of April, 1819, in the old Forsyth-street (formerly Second-street) Church, as the author o f the first address and circular which it issued to the Church, and as its steadfast friend and laborer until called to enter his Master’s joy.

At the time of its organization he was elected third vice- president, Bishops George and Roberts being the first and second. In the course of a year or two he succeeded Joshua Soule as the treasurer of the society. In April, 1836, he was elected the fourth vice-president and corresponding secretary; in 1838 the resident corresponding secretary. In 1840 he was one of three corresponding secretaries, Rev. Dr. Capers and Rev. E. R.' Ames being associated with him, one for the South, the other for the "West.

In 1841, removing temporarily from the city, his active connection was suspended. Up to this time it íb probable he had written every one of the annual reports. In 1843 we find him again taking an active part in the doings of the society, which he continued to do down to the monthly meeting in February, 1862. It is supposed that he never missed a meeting* when in the city, from the very first, except on account of sickness. Everything with him gave place to the missionary meeting, being, with his early associate, Rev. Joshua Soule, of opinion “ that the time would come when every man who assisted in the organization of the society, and persevered in his undertaking, would consider it one of the most honorable periods of his life.”

1863.] THE D EPARTED OF 1862. 6 1•

The receipts of the treasurer for the first year were $823 04; the amount for the year 1861 was $250,374 93 ; the total amount of receipts from the beginning to the day of his death was $4,569,094 95. .

In 1819 we had no missions to those of a foreign tongue, but now our general summary shows: (see page 67.)

Of the officers who were elected with him but three survive, namely, Rev. Joshua Soule, Francis Hall, and Daniel Ayres; and but two of the first Board of Managers, namely, James B. Oakley and William B. Skidmore. He commenced his course as a missionary himself to Canada, and was sent to Bay Quinte and Home Mission District, where there were but 1,500 members and nine ministers besides himself in that country, all of whom preceded him in the passage over Jordan. Now the Canada Wesleyans alone number 53,564 members and 476 ministers, and there are also 18,250 members and ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada. The total number of members in the Methodist Episcopal Church in America when he entered the ministry was 72,874, and of ministers 358. The total number of members at his death is, including the probationers, (without any reference to those Churches which have gone out from us,) 988,523 ; and of ministers, effective and superannuated, 6,934. “ What hath God wrought!” This prince and great man in bur Israel not only started with our society, being one of its principal founders, but has ever been our missionary standard-bearer. No mission has been started but has either been originated by him or had his hearty approval and zealous support. No man could more properly say of himself, “ The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.” But he has passed away to the society of those he loved, and O what a host of them! Missionary friends will see in the goodly company his beloved Merwin, and Fisk, and Cookman, and Olin, those great missionary advocates; and there, too, William Case, Peter Jones, and James B. Finley; and Cox, and Ann Wilkins, of Africa; Lee, of Oregon, and Collins, of China; with others, their fellow-laborers, who loved him. The fruit of those missions, too, is before the great white throne: our aborigines, those also of Ethiopia who stretched out their hands unto God, and from China the first-fruits have gone.


Before the great Three One They all exulting stand,

And tell the wonders He hath done Through all their land.

«The Board of Managers of the Missionary Society assembled

at the house of L. Bangs, Esq., (the estimable son with whom he had resided for many years,) and from thence followed his remains to the church and to their last resting-place. The family and friends had selected as pall-bearers Rev. Dr. Spring, of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. De Witt, of the Reformed Dutch Church; Rev. Dr. Tyng, of the Protestant Episcopal Church; Rev. Mr. Rainke, of the Moravian Church; and the following clergymen of our own, namely: Dr. L. Clark and Rev. E. E. Griswold, of the New York East Conference; Rev. M. Richardson and Dr. Holdich, of the New York; Drs. Cooke and Kenney, of the Philadelphia; Dr. Cummings, of the New England; and Dr. Porter, o f the New Jersey.

The services at the church were attended by an overcrowded audience, and were conducted by Bishop Janes, assisted by Drs. Osbon, Abel Stevens, and Thomas Carlton. They were most solemn and affecting.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Managers of the Missionary Society, held May 22, the corresponding secretary announced the death of the venerable ninth vice-president of the society, Rev. Dr. Bangs, and briefly traced the valuable services of the deceased to the Missionary Society from its organization until the close of his life. The following preamble and resolutions were then presented by Francis 'Hall, Esq., and unanimously adopted by a rising vote:

'Whereas it has pleased Him, in whose hands our lives are, to remove from farther earthly association with us our venerated friend and father, the Rev. Nathan Bangs, D.D., whose wise counsels and pure example it has been so long permitted us to enjoy; and whereas, while feeling devoutly thankful that the divine Master so long permitted him to tarry with us, we de|ply lament that we must henceforth be deprived of his always profitable society and intercourse; therefore

Resolved, 1. That, while with sorrowing hearts we note the absence of our beloved friend and father from his accustomed seat in the councils of the Board of Managers of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, we nevertheless find our con-

1863.] THE DEPARTED OF 1862. 63solation in the knowledge that he rests from his labors in the presence of his Saviour, and in the full fruition of Christian hope. Our loss is his infinite gain. He has joined the family in heaven ; the general assembly and Church of the first-born. .

2. That this Board will record upon its minutes its lively sense of the obligations which the Missionary Society it represents is placed under to the late Rev. Dr. Nathan Bangs for the eminently useful and long-continued services he rendered to its organization.

3. That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of our deceased and beloved brother, accompanied, not so much by our Christian condolence, as by the expression of our Christian joy that he lived so long and so usefully, died so peacefully and triumphantly, and has at last entered into his abundant reward.

Mr. J. B. Edwards.—The following preamble and resolutions express the sense of the Board of this, their former fellow- laborer :

Whereas, by a sad casualty that occurred on the 10th day of April, 1862, this Board has been called to mourn the sudden death of J o h n B e n j a m in E d w a r d s , who for many years antecedent to his decease was a member of the Board, had served them for a long time as their recording secretary, and had received the honorary title of a patron of the society ; therefore,

Resolved, That this Board are painfully conscious of the vacancy in their number, occasioned by the death of Brother Edwards, who was so long known and so much esteemed among them ; and whose love for the missionary cause was eviaced by a faithful discharge of his duties as a member of the Board, and by many important services rendered by him for the benefit of the society.

Resolved, That in a survey of the life of Brother Edwards, through the period of our acquaintance with him, we find it marked with the evidences of a courteous disposition and of a Christian spirit; of his love to all the saints, and of his faith in Christ Jesus; and we rejoice in the assurance that he was not unprepared for the summons which signed his swift release, and in the belief that for him to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Resolved, That we sympathize with his bereaved family in their deep sorrow and unexpected affliction, and direct that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to them, and that the same be recorded in the minutes of the Board.


T h r e e of our excellent missionary women of the Mission to India have departed this life during the past year: Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Thoburn, and Mrs. Jackson.

.The first, M r s . P ie r c e , the wife of Rev. Ralph Pierce, A.M., and daughter of Rev. J. T. Peck, D.D., of California, sailed from the port of Boston April 9, 1857, and probably survived several years longer to serve the Church in India than she could have done in America. Her value as a missionary among the females in the field of her husband’s labors in India has been frequently referred to by Dr. Butler as invaluable, and such too was the character of her labors among the orphans under the care of our mission. Her dying hours were marked by most triumphant manifestations of faith and hope.

M r s . T h o b u r n , whose maiden name was Rockwell, sailed from the port of Boston April 15, 1859, as the wife of Rev. Joseph R. Downey, who deceased April 16, 1860. She was married again December 16,1861, to Rev. James M. Thoburn, who sailed in the same company that left Boston in April, 1859, namely, Brothers Judd, Parker, Waugh, Downey, and Thoburn. Sister Thoburn has been a most laborious and successful missionary among the native youth and orphans under our care; and neither her name or that of Mrs. Pierce can fade from the memories of these lambs, some of whom they were the blessed instruments of bringing to Christ, and seeing them baptized on a profession of their personal faith in him as their forgiving and justifying Saviour.

M r s . J a c k so n deceased September 13. Brother Butler, in communicating the painful news, wrote:

We have buried the first of our missionary ladies on the third anniversary of Brother Downey’s death! “ Who next shall be summoned away!” May the heavenly Bridegroom prepare us all for his coming. Amen! Our bleeding hearts could scarcely realize this* sad calamity; but O it is true! the life that was laid on God’s missionary altar in the name of Christ h|s been yielded in the cause, and the happy spirit of our beloved sister has gone, with that of her lovely babe, to join in the heavenly anthems of praise

1863.] THE DEPARTED OF 1862. 65

to him her heart so devotedly loved here. She bore the announcement of her approaching end without a fear, and in the holy calm oi a soul who knew she was in God’s hands. After a few remarks about her family, every expression testified to her preparedness to depart, and her steadfast trust in Qhrist.

This lady was the wife of Rev. Henry Jackson, and seems, by the loveliness of her Christian character, to have attached every person to her who had the opportunity to form any acquaintance with her. The various accounts furnished concerning these good women show that their passion for the souls of the poor heathen about them was even stronger in death than it had been in life. Their latest breath was spent in commending Christ to those about them.

Rev. Z u r J a c o b sm u h l e n .—¥ e give the account of this brother’s departure from Rev. L. S. Jacoby:

The Lord hath called our dear brother, Zur Jacobsmuhlen, to his reward. He is the first preacher that has departed this life. It is the first time since the commencement of our work in Germany that I am obliged to send you such mournful news. This was the youngest of the company sent from America. He died with typhus on Thursday j the 11th of December, at half past ten P.M. He was in a delirium for several days, yet it seems his thoughts were occupied with God, for he was earnestly praying in German and English, preached often, and at one time he pictured the beauty and happiness of heaven.̂ He departed like a man falling asleep. Our brother had been appointed to Pforzheim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, to open a new mission, and had received liberty to commence to preach, when death opened the gate, and he passed through to the rest of the people of God.

Brother Jacobsmuhlen was among the first who became members after the opening of our mission in this country. Brother Nippert received him, but he soon emigrated to America in company with his relatives, because the government would not grant the liberty to worship God which they desired. He received license to preach soon after his arrival in America, and after having traveled, three years in Ohio he was transferred to the foreign German workT July 1, 1856, and sailed from the port of New York on the 12tb of the same mon#i.

He was an able and acceptable preacher, and labored with great success in Zurich, where his name will never be forgotten.

Aliasiunary Uepjrt. £


We can only say, the Lord’s thoughts are not our thoughts, neithfer are his ways our ways. But the Lord will carry on his work. Our brother left a widow with two children, one of whom is but six weeks old.

Sist e r M a n n , the wife of llev. A. Mann, stationed at Winterthur, Switzerland, deceased in the latter part of December, as we are advised just as we go to press.
