 stations and out-stations. Schools have been 
 opened in India, China, Japan and Turkey. 
 Medical missionaries are at work in the three 
 
 I 
 
heathen fields. Great numbers of gospels and 
 tracts have been sold. The Word of Life has 
 been carried into many homes by the women 
 connected with the mission. The whole num¬ 
 ber added from the first, is 8,326. 
 
 Workers .—There are now (December, 1896), 
 142 missionaries and helpers working in con¬ 
 nection with the Society. Of these, 42 are men, 
 34 are women, and 66 are native helpers. Of 
 these, 33 are in India, 38 in Japan, 49 in China, 
 14 in Turkey, 8 in Scandinavia, and 10 in 
 England. 
 
 Receipts .— The receipts for fhe last year 
 (1895-96) amounted to $93, 867.21. This is 
 a gain of $10,353,68 over the year before. 
 This money came from the following sources: 
 Churches, $39,902.30; Sunday-schools, $28, 
 418.78; Individuals, $ 9 , 75^-591 Endeavor So¬ 
 cieties, $1,980.87; Bequests, $10,500; Miscel¬ 
 laneous, $3,307.17. 
 
 The Fields .— India .— The work began in 
 India in 1882. There are stations in the fol¬ 
 lowing places: Hurda, Bilaspur, Mungeli and 
 Damoh. There are several out-stations. The 
 work has several departments, as follows: 
 Evangelistic, medical and educational. G. L. 
 Wharton has charge of the Bible and Training 
 School. Dr. Durand has built a hospital and 
 cares for a number of lepers. About 5,000 
 patients are treated annually. Dr. Anna Gor¬ 
 don has recently begun medical work in 
 Mungeli. The missionaries go far into the 
 
 
 2 
 
surrounding country and sow beside all waters. 
 India has four bungalows, one orphanage, two 
 school chapels, and two book depots. 
 
 Japan .—This country was entered in 1883. 
 Work is carried on in Tokio, Akita, Shonai, 
 Innai, Arakawa, Honjo and Fukushima. There 
 are other places where the gospel is preached 
 regularly. Japan has five chapels and two 
 homes. A school has been opened for training 
 men to preach and teach. In the Girls’ Home 
 young women are trained to help in the mis¬ 
 sion. An Industrial Department has just been 
 started. The aim of this is to give the students 
 a chance to support themselves while they are 
 being trained. 
 
 China .—The work began in China in 1886. 
 Nankin is the center of operations. The other 
 stations are in Shanghai, W’uhu, Chu Cheo, 
 Luhoh, Tsung-ming, Wu-wei-cho, Yu Ho Tsz, 
 Tung Cho, and Lu Cheo fu. China has one 
 hospital, two school buildings and five homes. 
 About 12,000 patients are treated annually. 
 The gospel is preached in the places named 
 and in scores of other places. 
 
 Turkey. —G. N. Shishmanian was sent to 
 Constantinople in 1879. Besides the school 
 and church in that city, he has opened stations 
 at Bardizag, Smyrna, Sevas, Antioch and Birid- 
 jek. He has evangelized as far east as the 
 Euphrates and the Lake of Van. As one re¬ 
 sult of his teaching, there is a little church in 
 Russia. Dr. Garabed Kevorkian joined the 
 
mission in 1885. His main work is in Marsivan. 
 In addition to what he does there, he superin¬ 
 tends the stations at Kapou Kara, Haji Keni, 
 and Checharshambeh. Some work has been 
 done in Marash, Aintab and Alboostan. There 
 are two buildings in Turkey; one in Smyrna 
 and one in Marash. The Society owns a piece 
 of ground in Constantinople. 
 
 Scandinavia .— Dr. Hoick began work in 
 Copenhagen in 1876. As a result of his labors, 
 there is a good church in Copenhagen. There 
 are twenty preaching stations in Norway. At 
 ten of these places there are church buildings. 
 Dr. Hoick would like to enter Sweden this 
 year. He thinks that if he had $10,000 he 
 could capture Scandinavia. 
 
 England .—The Society was founded to work 
 in non-Christian lands. The work was done in 
 England because men were ready to go to Eng¬ 
 land, and there were none ready to go to Asia 
 or Africa. There are men at work now in 
 London, Hornsey, Southampton, Fulham, Bir¬ 
 kenhead, Liverpool, Gloucester, Cheltenham, 
 Margate, Southport, Lancaster, Chester, and 
 Ingleton. The buildings are worth $100,000. 
 The Christian Commonwealth is not connected 
 in any way with the Society at the present time, 
 but it aids the work very much. 
 
 Needs .—India needs a number of workers. 
 There should be one man in Bilaspur, working 
 among the English speaking people. E. M. 
 Gordon should have an associate in Mungeli.

A bungalow should be put up for the young 
 ladies in Hurda. Another bungalow will be 
 needed in Damoh as soon as W. E. Rambo 
 and family return. Money is needed to buy 
 Bibles and tracts for distribution among the 
 people. Dr. Gordon should have a dispensary 
 and a hospital. Dr, McGavran should have 
 similar buildings in Damoh. Japan needs three 
 homes for the missionaries. It needs a liberal 
 appropriation to sustain the Industrial Depart¬ 
 ment. A chapel is needed at Innai. China 
 needs homes for the missionaries in Shanghai 
 and Luhoh and Wuhu. One or two men should 
 be sent out during the present year. Turkey 
 ought to have two men at once. The Spring- 
 field Convention recommended that the grant 
 to Scandinavia be increased. These needs can 
 not be supplied without a much larger income 
 than the Society has ever had. The enlarge¬ 
 ment contemplated will require not less than 
 $ 20 , 000 . 
 
 Africa .—The Society is preparing to enter 
 Africa. E. E. Paris and Dr. H. N. Biddle 
 are under appointment to go to that field. It 
 is expected that they will reach their destina¬ 
 tion before the first of May. More men will 
 have to be sent out to join them as soon as 
 they select a field. Buildings will have to be 
 erected for them. They must be thoroughly 
 equipped for the work to which they have de 
 voted their lives.
