the Association for the Indian department of its University, the
Principal and teachers being appointed by the Association. Fourteen
Apache girls have been among the pupils during the year—the first
Apaches that have ever been gathered in our schools. They prove to
be bright and docile pupils.
CHINESE WORK.
Missions 17
Missionaries 28
Pupils enrolled 1,044
Hopeful conversions 150
Given up idolatry 211
The report of the Superintendent is both joyful and sad. The
numbers of those who have given up idol worship and those hopefully
converted are the largest it has ever been our privilege to report;
but the work has labored under great embarrassment in the serious
diminution of funds. The resources for the current work were
necessarily reduced by more than $3,000. New doors are opening
in this Chinese work. The Japanese are now ripe for schools and
churches, and a small beginning has been made in this direction.
This work is open to us, and the command to enter is written in the
imperative.
WOMAN’S BUREAU.
Only four years have passed since the Woman’s Bureau became a
recognized department of our work, although it existed in reality
for many years before. These years have abundantly proven its
efficiency. It is useful especially along three lines: First, in
assisting the women who are engaged as teachers to understand and
grasp their work; again, in reaching the mothers and sisters of
the pupils with purifying Christian influences, as they could not
be reached in any other way; and also, in bringing information
to the benevolent women of the North in regard to the special
needs of their degraded and helpless sisters in the South. The
shocking story of their degradation can be told only by women to
women. Along all these lines of service the Woman’s Bureau has
been especially successful during the past year. Its usefulness
is greatly increased because it is an organic part of a larger
Association, and thus gains a wider field of vision. The range of
its operations is constantly enlarging.

The total disbursements for the year have been $298,783.80, a
decrease in the expenditures of last year of $13,467. We entered
this year with a debt of $5,783. The problem that taxed our skill
and energies was this: How can we do the work which the Lord has
put upon us, and at the same time not increase this debt? It
looked, at times, as if it would prove impossible. For the month of
February the receipts were $9,000 less than last year for the same
month, and even so late as July there was a falling off of $17,000
for the month. The magnificent rally in September brought into the
treasury a splendid sum, and the problem was solved.
Through carefully studied economy in the expenditures, by
persistent efforts in the collecting field, and by the large
and generous benevolences of the churches, all under God’s good
providence, this has been accomplished.
The current expenses of the year are all paid; the debt with which
we began the year is all cancelled, and we enter this new year with
the good sum of $2,193.80 on the credit side of the ledger. But
this will provide for the current expenses of the Association only
about two days.
This has been a perilous experiment. The work has suffered,
although none of it has been given up. The total number of
missionaries has been reduced. Teachers and pastors have been
overworked. New fields, “white to the harvest,” have been
ungathered and left to possible blight. We praise God for this
deliverance, but earnestly pray that we may not again need the
chastening discipline of a like experience.
Such is the record of another year in the life of the A. M. A.,
as we read it from our human standpoint. The full significance of
these simple facts as they stand related to the Divine plan for the
redemption of the world, we cannot trace, nor need we. “What is
written, is written.”

THE CHINESE.
* * * * *
REVIEW OF THE YEAR.
The fiscal year of “The California Chinese Mission”—the
representative and agent of the A. M. A. in its work among the
Chinese—closed August 31st. I devote the space accorded me, this
month, in the MISSIONARY, to a brief review of the year’s service.
Statistics ought not to be dry when they set forth succinctly a
gospel work and a record of souls saved. Each unit in each number
stands for a story that angels stop to read—a gift, a labor, or a
turning of the heart of God, that has to do with the eternal life.
Our missions have numbered 17; of these, 11 have been sustained
during the entire year, and two others for eleven months. We have
no vacation in our schools, unless forced to it by lack of funds,
or by other causes which we cannot control.
The number of workers has varied from 23 to 28; the aggregate
number of months of service being 309. Of these 91 are to be
credited to our Chinese missionary helpers, and 218 to Americans.
The total number of pupils enrolled is 1,044. The average
enrollment month by month has been 461; the average attendance,
247. These numbers are smaller than those of last year, or of
any preceding year for a great while; which comes of a serious
diminution in another quarter which it has been out of our power
to avert. Our resources for current work have been less than in
previous years by more than $3,000—last year, $12,341.80; this
year, $8,989.30. This statement is to date; I trust the amount
will be increased somewhat before the books are finally closed. It
was impossible to maintain the larger work with the smaller sum. I
think that we can truly say: We have done what we could. The most
serious loss is in the employment of Chinese missionary helpers;
we ought to have had twice as many in the field as we were able to
employ.
The expenditures on account of current work have been as follows:
For salaries of superintendent, teachers and helpers, $6,222.80;
for rents of mission houses, $2,103; for incidentals, $634.15;
total, $8,959.95. The contributions made directly to the treasury
of this Auxiliary amount, at this writing, to $2,989.30, of which
about $250 were given expressly for permanent property.
While we note with sadness these diminutions, we record with
gladness an increase at the point of largest interest, the point
towards which all our endeavors tend. We find in our statistical
columns, under the head of “Profess to have ceased from idol
worship,” an aggregate of 211; under that of “Giving evidence of
Christian character,” 150. These are larger numbers than we have
ever before been privileged to place at the foot of these columns;
and among those who give evidence of Christian character are many
who a year ago either walked in utter darkness, or were refusing to
let in on their hearts the dawning light of Christ. I cannot as yet
state exactly the number who seem during this year to have accepted
Christ, but I think it cannot be much less than fifty. If so, then
the total number of whom this hope has been cherished since our
work began, cannot be much less than 650.
These encouragements are due, under God, very largely to some
tentative evangelistic work which we have undertaken. The results
are such as lead us to pray for the privilege of enlarging this
branch of our service and prosecuting it with greater vigor. We are
praying—and I think with faith and unity—that God would raise up
among us some one on whom we can bestow this special gift. I _look
for_ an answer. I _expect_ that during this new fiscal year, upon
which we have entered, the providence of God will open the way, and
the Spirit of God will beckon us on to a system of evangelization
which will reach to all our missions and will pass beyond them,
making the wilderness to blossom as the rose.
Among the “new departures” of the year is the beginning of work
among the Japanese. The first attempt to Christianize the Japanese
in California was made in connection with the First Cong. Church
in this city. The first Japanese baptized were received to that
church; but the work was suffered to lapse, and other denominations
have supplied our mortifying lack of service. A beginning has
again been made, this time in Oakland. Mr. N. Kusaki, a young
Japanese who was graduated last summer from the Pacific Theological
Seminary, led off in the undertaking. He still assists in it,
though it has now been placed in the hands of an American lady as
the principal teacher. It is an experiment at present, but gives
good promise of success.
Another interesting development, which, however, dates back
a little more than a year, is the Foreign Missionary Society
organized by our Chinese brethren. This movement was spontaneous;
no urgency or even suggestion from me occasioned it. It was put
into almost complete working order before I was made aware of
it. Its primary object is to sustain missionary operations in
South China, the provinces from which our brethren came. But its
watchword is nothing less than “China for Christ.” They have
already gathered nearly $250, contributed not from an abundance,
but out of deep poverty.
Another point of interest is the marked change in the spiritual
atmosphere of some of our missions—notably those at Stockton,
Petaluma and Oroville. It seems to foretoken a “wide and effectual
door” soon to open before us, which God grant that we may have the
men and the means to enter for a campaign aggressive and victorious.
