EVANGELISTIC REPORT

(A Summary of the Superintendents Reports)

The past year has been one of marked spiritual advance. Many of the Circuits have held revival meetings in which the District Superintendents and preachers from other circuits have been the leaders. These have resulted in many turning to Christ and Giving up their idols and Gther marks of heathen superstition. In some cases entire families have been won. Family altars have been set up in many homes. There is an advance to be noted in the number of churches where daily meetings are being held for prayer and Bible study. In some cases such meetings having started with small numbers have resulted in a spiritual revival in the church. The Quarterly Conferences show the continuance of the Revival Movement. Often the church proves too small to accommodate the crowds. These meetings are marked by a spiritual tone, the desire to worship and to learn the things of God. In other places the ordinary congregations have outgrown their places of worship and in some churches new seats have been added. Two Colporters are maintained in the Conference and there has been during the year a splendid sale of Bibles to our membership indicative of the increasing interest in God's Word.

Several of the Districts have maintained meetings for the preachers for fellowship, spiritual growth and inspiration. These meetings are proving of great benefit to the workers.

Mrs. Brewster has promoted the campaign of Stewardship with unflagging zeal. The number of earnest church members who have caught the vision of the stewardship of their money and time is on the increase. They are willing to give of their time for the promotion of the work of the church and they give liberally of their money for its support. Perhaps the Hankong District has made the greatest gains along these lines during the year. The impetus to voluntary ser-

EVANGELISTIC REPORT 43

vice given by the revival meetings under Dr. John Sung and others has made its mark on the church. We have earnest members now who give a part of their time to personal work. Personal work bands which go out Sunday afternoons are still being formed.

Although this section has not been invaded we are living under a new situation colored by the war. Binghai City has been fin~d on three times. When Amoy was occupied many refugees came into this section. The fisherman along our coast have met with much distress. Some boats returning with their catch of fish have been plundered and set on fire leaving the occupants to perish on the sea. Many of the young men have been taken in the draft and everywhere about us we see them drilling and getting ready either to fill the vacancies in the regular armies or to defend the country locally. The church youth have not been exempted in the draft. Stories have come back from the front telling of the comfort and strength that faith in God has given them. This entire section has responded in appeals for relief of the distress in the devastated regions and our church has been in the forefront with their subscriptions of money and donations of clothing for those made destitute by the present warfare. The response has been generous notwithstanding the war prices prevailing on food and all supplies as well as the heavy burdens of taxation made necessary by the present struggle.

There has been a healthy growth in membership. Six hundred new members have been received and over eight hundred probationers. There were also over six hundred children baptized. The growth is a healthy one as the present drawing power of the church is spiritual.

14. All preachers under appointment of the Conference whether preachers or teachers must give a tenth of their income to the work of the church.

15. Subscriptions for the various classes of church benevolences must be kept separate and distinct and should be so reported. No money subscribed for one purpose may be used for any other purpose. After the District Conference each pastor and junior preacher who works at a separate station shall prepare a list showing the sUbscriptions of his church members and post in a conspicuous place.

16. The three circuits of Bi-ciu, Nang-cjh, and Dua-dokau because of distance and inconvenience shall have an increase of 10% in salaries.

17. After the appointments are made the preachers must go to them without delay and live there. If they and their families do not live within the bounds of the circuit to which they are appointed they cannot claim salary. If a preacher goes but wife does not, then the salary must be reduced.

18. When a preacher appointed to work dies during that year his family shall receive salary for six months after which they shall be on the Preacher's Aid fund providing the preacher was a member of Conference.

Committee on the State of the Church

1. Preachers who desire to adopt either boys or girls must first bring the matter before the District Executive Board which shall in turn present it to the Conference Executive Board. If without approaching the above boards anyone adopt a child he shall receive heavy punishment.


2. Those preachers who have already adopted children, must cloth, feed and treat said children the same as their own children. The adopted child upon reaching the age of seven must be sent to school and must not be treated oppressively. If adopted children are not treated according to the above regulations it will be regarded that they are taken as slave girls and the preacher shall he deprived of his office in the church. The District Superintendent must see that this rule is enforced.

3. No preachers or Biblewomen may betroth their children to heathen. Those doing so should be deprived of their office in the church.

4. Preachers who have been "married in" mllst carry out their contracts. Should they break their contracts they should be deprived of their office as preachers. From now on any preacher wishing to " marry in" must first get the approval of the Conference Executive Board.

5. Preachers engaging in business shall at first be exhorted by the Sllperintendent or the Missionary. In case they refuse to heed they shall be reported to tbe Conference Executive Committee. If they still refuse to heed they should not be given appointments at the following Session of Conference. Preachers under appointment must give diligent attention to their work and should not leave their circuits for private reasons without first reporting to the District Superintendent. In no case shall they be absent more than one week. We recommend that at each Session of Conference every preacher shall sign an agreement to carry out this regulation before the appointments are made.

6. Local Preachers and Exhorters may not take two years examinations at the same time. However those holding diplomas from the Guthrie Memorial High School and from the Biblical School may be allowed to do so.

7. Rules which Church Members should observe: (1) They should not betroth their children to unbelievers. (2) Believers must not keep concubines. Persons havin

concubines may not be received into the church as members


Members of the church who insist on taking concubies must 'be expelled, (3) Members must not plant poppy or deal in opium. (4) Members must not deal in prohibited articles.

8. The Government at present is making strenuoUS efforts against the use of morphine and other poisonous drugs. Our church should join in the propaganda. We ask the Bishop to write to the International Opium Reform Bureau at Shanghai asking it to send us posters and other materials for our use in spreading the reform movement among the ,people.

9. At the present time the Government is promoting the New Life Movement. Stress is being placed upon health and sanitation. Our churches and parsonages must be kept clean and in repair. Chickens, ducks and other animals must be kept out of our buildings. Every preacher must give strict attention to this in order to be an example to the community in sanitation and to show that the church is fully in accord with the government.

10. We ask that the Conference Finance Committee carry out the regulations for caring for our church property. If property is occupied by anyone they must strictly recover it back in order to maintain their powers. If we have orchards and gardens for rent we should rent them to those within our church and not rent to outsiders. Property not in use should be auctioned off, the proceeds going as endowment to the circuit on which the property is located.

11. At present the Conference does not maintain an inn for those who are upon the Retired Fund, neither does it possess any idle property. Therefore such persons should move back to their former homes and not move to the City, asking the Church to provide living quarters for them. Those already in the City and in church property or living in property loaned them temporarily must pay rent and upon notice vacate such property for such uses as the Church may desire to make of it.


12. Every circuit should hold an institute each year of not less than a week for the members. Every District should hold an institute each year of not less than ten days for Class Leaders. We ask that the Woman's Society cooperate so that both men and women may be benefitted by these institutes. We also ask that the District Superintendents together with the conference Secretary of Religious Education select suitable literature for use in these Institutes.

13. The law of China recognizes the minister's office in performing marriage ceremonies. Nevertheless if there is any question about the propriety of the proposed union or any difficulty connected therewith he shall not consent to conduct the ceremonies.

14. Preachers who have not had experience in pastoral work but are in eductional work are not acceptable for admission on trial nor should they be given Deacon's or Elders orders.

15. We ask that the Conference bring it to the attention of all preachers and teachers of our church both men and women that they should be faithful to our church and should not work for other movements in order to avoid causing the weaker members to have doubts. If preachers refuse to heed their offices should be taken away. In case their wives or children go into other churches their allowances should be taken from their salaries.

16. We recommend that the Conference Finance Committee determine the amount of each preacher's salary according to the Conference schedules of salary and that they give it to the District Superintendents for their guidance in the payment of the same.

17. Those who have been helped by the church in getting their theological education must upon receiving appointment begin to pay back their loans. If they are appointed to a selfsupporting circuit they must each year pay back the stipulated amounts. They should not be allowed to delay in this mat-


ter. If there are those who have formerly graduated and have gotten into this habit of delaying to pay back, measures must be taken to secure their carrying out this regulation.

18. Those in the employment of the Church and those on the Superannuate funds whether preachers or teachers should be faithful in giving a tenth to the work of the Church. The Conference Finance Committee should take measures to carry this out.

19. We ask that the Conference Finance Committee take an inventory of the furniture of the Biblical School and put it away.

20. We recommend that the Conference ask each Circuit to choose several church members to act with the pastor on a committee on subscriptions so that each Circuit may be helped to quickly reach the status of self-support.

21. The children received by the Orphanage must be entirely supported by the Orphanage or mu~t pay the full fees for support.

22. The Orphanage in the matter of receiving orphans must follow the rules of the Board of Managers. They must not recklessly take in applicants but must carefully investigate each case having no regard for personal considerations. Should they fail to do this the officers of the Orphanage shall be responsible for raising necessitated expenses.

23. The Hua Sih Boys' School is the heart of the educational work on the Heohbing District. At present students are crowding in but alas funds for carrying on are very limited. There is a great shortage both in buildings and equipment. We request the General Finance Committee to see to it that funds are allotted to this school in comparison with the amounts allotted to the Primary Schools of other districts.

24. Churches are places dedicated to worship. The Bishop has asked the government to take steps to protect tbe churches for this purpose. Preachers must refuse the use of their churches for secular purposes.


25. Bible School graduates who wish to enter Conference on trial must have the following qualifications:

(a) Must have been appointed as a preacher for two years.

(b) Must be not over 35 year of age. (c) Must have a medical certificate of health. 26. The Conference Secretary is instructed to write the

Bible House in Shanghai reporting sales of Bibles, expressing thanks and asking for a continuance of the present arrangements of hiring colporteurs.

27. Second edition of the Family Record poster should be printed.

28. Students going to Bible School must be passed by the Conference Executive Committee.

29. Mrs. Brewster should be appointed Superintendent of Tithing Campaign.

30. In order to reach self support the Church should follow God's laws in regard to giving to the support of the Church:

(1) The things of God belong to God. (2) Both men and women should make offerings. (3) Offerings should be made weekly.

5. In computing the annuity distribution for retired members count shall be made from the year they entered on Probation to the year they were granted the Retired relationship with the rate fixed at $3.50 per service year. These limitations must in no case be exceeded lest we endanger the capital funds of the Society.

6. Loans which do not exceed the five year limit shall follow the rate of interest stipulated in the contract fnr the same.

The rent determined upon shall be deducted from the allowance at the time of their payment.

13. Sang Deh Sing has asked that he be allowed to use his yearly allowance in repaying the principal of the loan of one thousand dollars made to his son Sang Boi Dng until it is fully repaid. We agree that we cannot grant this request but that we may use his yearly grant towards the repayment of interest on the said loan of the Preacher's Aid Society to Sang Bui Ung.

14. When a member of Conference dies during the year his salary shall be continued six months from the date of his death. After that the Stewards shall pay his family an allowance from the funds according to our regulations governing the same.

MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS

Fukien Union Theological Seminary Chang Tung Yang

57

There are 28 students this fall. Of the 28 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 Religious Education and the Sociological Study of the Bible. Dr. Ruby Hsioh has given about an afternoon a week to teach the boys instrumental music. Mr. A. W. 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 candidates 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 graduates the hope of advanced study.

Secondly, Educational work in China is progressing very rapidly. People of intelligence are increasing in number, in all communities by leaps and bounds. Yet the education for the ministry is still about the same as for the last thirty years,


Consequently our graduates find themselves unable to meet the needs of the intellectuals of their parishes.

Thirdly, more than four fifths of the Chinese people live on 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 the above mentioned difficulties, the faculty of the Seminary has been considering the following plans;

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 School, natural and applied science, such as Biology, Chemistry or Physics and Agriculture; and for the fourth and fifth years they come 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 they 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 viewpoint will be broadened so that they will be more ready to participate in any Christian work which is apt to come.

MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS 59

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 Foochow Conference will give this new plan sympathetic support and then eventually that the 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 that the correlation with both of these institutions will be formally and actually realized.
