An Exhibit and Why It Is Made 
 
 T HE Foreign Mission Board submits herewith certain itemized 
 needs of the work which has been committed to its care. We 
 have tried to set down honest figures for actual needs, and have 
 made as careful estimates as we can of the amount of money, in 
 American gold, that will be required to take care of these. The 
 items for all the fields were listed after diligent surveys were made 
 and may be accepted as reliable. They are vouched for by the Board 
 and the missionaries on the fields. We do not believe that there is a 
 fictitious figure put down for any field. The items represent some 
 of the accumulated needs of a great and manifold work which has 
 had to wait long on the denomination for adequate equipment and 
 reenforcement. We do not believe that the denomination has yet 
 realized how it has failed to keep up with the necessities of its Foreign 
 Mission work. 
 
 As a help to an intelligent and sympathetic study of these items, 
 brief but careful annotations of them have been made. 
 
 It will be noted, too, that the needs of the present work and of 
 the new fields which we ought to enter at once are separated in the 
 lists given. 
 
 These items and estimates are thus carefully made and placed in 
 the hands of the messengers of the Convention to furnish them a 
 rational and practical basis upon which to make a program for the 
 care of this great work. The Foreign Mission Program which this 
 Convention makes should be based on a knowledge of actual needs 
 and not on any sentiment, and must be made large enough to provide 
 for such needs. We ask for a careful examination of what we have 
 been at pains to prepare for the guidance of the messengers in their 
 deliberations. 
 
 A careful list of the needs of all fields is presented in order that 
 (i) provision may be made for all fields and stations alike with the 
 utmost impartiality; that (2) if the Convention attempts to provide 
 for these necessities, individuals, churches, missionary societies, Sunday 
 schools, etc., may select from these objects, which represent the most 
 urgent needs of the work, such as appeal to them; and that (3) the 
 leaders at home and the missionaries on the field may combine 
 their appeal for the same objects and in support of the Convention’s 
 program. The missionaries have helped to catalogue these needs 
 and have agreed to confine appeals to the home constituency to such 
 objects as have been approved by the missions and the Board. 
 
4 
 
 The Needs of the 
 
 If the Convention decides to make provision for these, the Board 
 will recommend them to contributors for their gifts and for individual 
 adoption where donors request that specific objects be assigned them. 
 If the Board can have the cooperation of all the missionaries and all 
 contributors in accordance with the agreement that all contributions 
 are to apply to approved objects only, we shall be able to administer 
 the work with impartiality for every missionary and with a view to 
 greatest need and the welfare of the work as a whole. For the present 
 these needs are stated for the benefit of the Convention. 
 
 No one but Southern Baptists will provide for the needs which are 
 here given. Therefore, we call upon the Convention to give them 
 careful consideration and to make a program which is big enough to 
 care for these needs. Besides these needs which the missionaries 
 feel keenly, there are many others, and there is room for indefinite 
 and unlimited expansion in fields of inviting opportunity and saddest 
 destitution if Southern Baptists can be induced to furnish the money 
 and men and women can be found to enter them. 
 
 The Foreign Mission Board feels that it is discharging a respon¬ 
 sibility to the Convention which appoints it, and the constituency which 
 supports it, when it thus lays the facts about its work before them. 
 The Board assumes no right to make a program for Southern Bap¬ 
 tists, but it does acknowledge its duty to furnish the denomination 
 information concerning that department of the work with which it is 
 particularly charged. 
 
 We invite correspondence concerning any object which is here 
 listed.

 PROPERTY NEEDS 
 
 Residence for Missionary , Abeokuta 
 $2,500 
 
 When the Pinnocks return to Abeokuta in the summer of 1919, 
 they will have no house in which to live. They will be forced to rent 
 quarters, which is a very serious proposition for a missionary in that 
 climate. This building ought to be provided at once. 
 
 Enlargement Girls’ School, Abeokuta 
 $3,000 
 
 The Judson Centennial is to provide a dormitory for the Girls’ 
 School at Abeokuta. The rapid progress of this institution has made 
 it necessary for us to provide for it still another building. This is 
 our one school for girls in Nigeria and should be developed into the 
 highest efficiency.

 The Needs of the 
 
 Missionary Residence, Oyo 
 $2,500 
 
 Missionary George Sadler will soon be returning to his work in 
 Oyo and must have a house in which to live. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Ogbomoso 
 
 $2,500 
 
 Another evangelistic missionary family is to be sent to Ogbomoso 
 to look after the evangelistic work in that vast field. There is no house 
 in which he can live. We must build him one. 
 
 Building for Boys’ Academy, Ogbomoso 
 $5,000 
 
 The growth of the Boys’ Academy at Ogbomoso has been a source 
 of great encouragement. It grew in spite of the fact that it had 
 practically no equipment. More land has been acquired and it is 
 necessary to provide a good building in which the work of the school 
 can be carried on. It is our leading boys’ school in Africa. This is 
 an important and urgent need. 
 
 Residence for Vice-Principal of our Theological Seminary, Ogbomoso 
 
 $2,500 
 
 Another man is to be sent to Ogbomoso to help in the Theological 
 Training School. He must not be put into one of the native houses. 
 There is no missionary residence. One must be provided for him. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Iseyin 
 
 $2,500 
 
 The Mission has decided to place in this important city a mission¬ 
 ary. It is a most inviting field. The missionary cannot be sent unless 
 a house is provided for him. 
 
 High School Property, Lagos 
 $30,000 
 
 Lagos is the greatest port city on the West Coast of Africa. Our 
 work has grown in that city and vicinity, even though we have not 
 had a foreign missionary located there for many years. Native self- 
 support has developed nicely. It affords a most unusual opportunity 
 for a Boys High School. It would draw students from hundreds of

 millions up and down the Coast and from far interior. The money 
 requested would be used as follows:

 The Needs of the 
 
 ARGENTINE MISSION 
 
 PROPERTY NEEDS 
 
 Church Building, Rosario 
 $1,000 
 
 Three thousand dollars has been provided out of the Judson Cen¬ 
 tennial for this building, and the church is laboring heroically to sup¬ 
 plement the amount. The $1,000 here requested is urgently needed to 
 complete the building. When the building is finished the church will 
 be practically self-supporting. 
 
 Building for Once Church, Buenos Aires 
 $30,000 
 
 A good building lot upon which there is an indebtedness of $5,000 
 has been secured. The amount paid on the lot was furnished by the 
 Judson Centennial. On this lot was a barn which has been remodeled 
 for the use of the church. Surely, in the largest city in South America 
 the Baptist cause should not be represented by a remodeled barn as 
 a church house. Never until we have a building in keeping with our 
 surroundings can we hope to impress the community as we should. 
 Five thousand dollars is needed to complete the payments on the lot 
 and $25,000 to aid the church in erecting a good church building. 
 
 Theological Training School Building, Buenos Aires 
 
 $12,500 
 
 In Argentina, as in all other countries, we must train our preachers, 
 if we expect to have an effective native ministry. The $12,500 re¬ 
 quested here would give our Theological Training School modest but 
 comfortable quarters in which to do the great work it is called upon 
 to do. The school is small, but growing. 
 
 Land and Building for High School, Buenos Aires 
 
 $25,000 
 
 As the Bible School is necessary for the theological training of 
 our ministerial students, so the high school is necessary for their lit¬ 
 erary training. The high school is needed also for the training of our 
 laymen. It is necessary to have the amount here named, over and 
 above the $10,000 provided by the Judson Centennial Fund.

 Building for Southwest Church, Buenos Aires 
 
 $15,000 
 
 The Judson Centennial will provide a lot for this church, and 
 money is very urgently needed for the erection of the building. 
 Buenos Aiires is a city of more than a million people, and if we expect 
 to make an impression on it we must get out of rented stores and 
 erect buildings that are fitted for the work. The Southwest Church 
 is prospering beautifully and greatly needs the amount requested. 
 
 Boys’ Academy Building, Rosario 
 $5,000 
 
 It will be necessary for us to build in several centers in Argentina 
 schools of the Grammar School grade, from which will come students 
 who will enter the High School in Buenos Aires. One of these Acad¬ 
 emies should be established at Rosario. 
 
 Church Building, Mendoza 
 $5,000 
 
 Mendoza, on the western edge of Argentina, is a very important 
 city. Our work there is prospering, but is in critical need of respec¬ 
 table and efifective quarters in which to do its work. The sum re¬ 
 quested is very modest. This amount will secure land and provide 
 a building through the aid the natives will render. 
 
 Church Building, Montezndeo 
 
 $ 20,000 
 
 Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay and is a city of first im¬ 
 portance. The Judson Centennial will provide the lot for the build¬ 
 ing, but the church will have to have the aid here requested in order 
 to enable it to provide itself with a church house. In this up-to-date 
 and beautiful city we ought to have a worthy church home.

 Church Building Loan Fund 
 $3,ooo 
 
 The missionaries of North Brazil have been greatly encouraged 
 over the response the natives have made to the advantages offered 
 by the Church Building Loan Fund organized by that Mission. With 
 the amount here requested, if given as capital to this fund, it will 
 enable many a church to erect its own building. 
 
 Residences for Missionaries 
 $32,000 
 
 The Board has never built residences for its missionaries in North 
 Brazil. They have been compelled to live in rented quarters or in 
 cramped quarters in school buildings. In that hot and trying climate 
 they ought to have buildings erected with a view to conserving their 
 health and strength. Besides this, rents are excessively high. It 
 would be a great saving if residences could be provided for all our 
 missionaries in North Brazil. Four residences, at a cost of $5,000 
 each, are needed at Pernambuco; two residences, at a cost of $5,000 
 each, should be erected at Bahia, and one residence at Corrente, far 
 in the interior, should be erected, at a cost of $2,000.

 School Property at Bahia 
 $15,000 
 
 The present quarters in which the school is located are not suit¬ 
 able for school purposes. The building was erected for a residence 
 and is on the side of a bluff. The school should be moved to a dif¬ 
 ferent part of the city and put into quarters that would render its 
 work much more efficient. Such a move would bring the school very 
 much closer to its supporting constituency.

 $2,500 
 
 During the eight years in which he has been located in the Rio 
 Grande do Sul State, Missionary Dunstan has made wonderful prog¬ 
 ress in developing the churches in self-support and in providing their 
 own church buildings. The Church Building Loan Fund requested 
 here would accelerate his work very greatly. It would render a 
 splendid service. 
 
 Lot and Church, Curityba 
 $5,ooo 
 
 An option has been secured upon a lot facing one of the best parks 
 in the important city of Curityba. The request is for only $5,000 
 to be used towards the purchase of this lot and the erection of the 
 church building. The local church, though not strong, will complete 
 the project. We ought to stop the heavy rent bill and help provide 
 this church with good quarters.

 Girls’ School, Sao Paulo 
 $100,000 
 
 For several years Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Bagby have been conducting 
 a very successful Girls’ School in Sao Paulo. In the reconstruction 
 of our educational plans for Brazil it has been decided that this insti¬ 
 tution should be conducted as our leading Girls’ School in Brazil. It 
 is highly important that the school he properly equipped. The Jud- 
 son Centennial will provide enough money for the purchase of a 
 campus. The South Brazil Mission, after carefully canvassing the 
 whole situation, appeals for $i00,000 for the erection and equipment 
 of a building that will provide for the needs of this Woman's College. 
 This is a wonderful opportunity. 
 
 Church Building Loan Fund, Sao Paulo Field

 Church Building, Friburgo 
 $2,000 
 
 Friburgo is one of the most important towns in the Campos field. 
 It is an enterprising place, and during the summer season it is filled 
 with tourists. It is exceedingly desirable that we have a good build¬ 
 ing in this place. The two thousand dollars would be supplemented 
 by the local church. 
 
 Church Building, Nictheroy 
 $1,500 
 
 This amount is needed with which to supplement two thousand 
 dollars which is provided for this object in the Judson Centennial 
 Fund. Nictheroy is the capital of the State of Rio. The church will 
 do a liberal part. 
 
 Victoria School 
 $25,000 
 
 Victoria is the capital of the important State of Espirito Santo. 
 Here we have a unique opportunity, as our's is the only denomination 
 operating in the State. We have a school for boys and girls at Vic¬ 
 toria which has trained already a good many teachers and other native 
 workers. It should have a plant that would provide for two Board¬ 
 ing Departments and a building for class rooms and administration. 
 The need is pressing. 
 
 Church Building, Bello Horizonte 
 $5,000 
 
 A lot has been secured for the Bello Horizonte Church, and the 
 amount requested here is needed to aid the church toward erecting 
 a building. Bello Horizonte is the capital of the great State of Minas 
 Geraes, which is one of the most important States in Brazil. Cer¬ 
 tainly in this State capital we ought to have a good building for our 
 church work.

 Dormitory Rio Baptist College and Seminary 
 
 $40,000 
 
 Rio Baptist College and Seminary constitutes one of our great¬ 
 est mission opportunities. It is located in Rio, the capital of the Repub¬ 
 lic, a city of a million people. We have recently acquired a most 
 beautiful and spacious campus for this school. Already the Admin¬ 
 istration Building has been erected, and a number of other buildings 
 are available. Included among these is the Palace of the Baron who 
 formerly owned the property. The school is prospering. One of the 
 greatest needs we have at all is for a Dormitory, which would cost 
 $40,000.

 sive rents for houses for these missionaries to live in and, even so, 
 are not providing them with satisfactory quarters. We should, by 
 all means, have five missionary residences built on this campus. These 
 residences would cost $5,000 apiece. 
 
 First Baptist Church, Rio dc Janeiro 
 $100,000 
 
 Due to the fact that a hill has been removed from the very heart 
 of the city of Rio, in order to fill in the Harbor, a most desirable 
 piece of property has been put on the market. Here, facing a beau¬ 
 tiful park recently created, the First Baptist Church has acquired a 
 magnificent lot. No better location can be found in this great city. 
 In securing this lot the church used most of the $50,000 given out of 
 the Judson Centennial toward this enterprise. The lot might have 
 been secured at a low^er rate if the church had been willing to accept 
 certain favors from the Government. This it steadfastly refused to 
 do and manifested the true Baptist spirit, even though it had to pay 
 more for the lot. Now it is necessary to erect on this lot a build¬ 
 ing commensurate with the great plans of this church. The building 
 proposed will be used not only for a church, but also for a great Day 
 School. Our missionaries heartily endorse the plan and urge that 
 here is afforded us a most unique and inviting opportunity for ren¬ 
 dering a great service. The erection of this building will strengthen 
 our w'ork throughout Brazil. The church will supplement very con¬ 
 siderably the amount here requested.

 through the activity of Rev. W. D. T. MacDonald, there have been 
 built up twelve churches, with a membership of 1,467. It is essen¬

 enrolls 162 pupils and has one very good building for its work. This 
 building, however, is not sufficient for the growing institution. A

 Shanghai Baptist College and Seminary 
 $198,800 
 
 This College, located in Shanghai, is supported by both Northern 
 and Southern Baptists. It is the purpose to make this a high-grade 
 college and theological seminary, which will serve all China for higher 
 training. Baptists should have one such high-grade institution in 
 China. We regret to say that Southern Baptists are far behind 
 Northern Baptists in their support of this institution. Two hundred 
 seventy-one thousand six hundred dollars has already been spent upon 
 securing land and equipment. Of this amount Northern Baptists 
 have spent $191,100, which is $110,600 more than the $80,500 Southern 
 Baptists have given. For additional buildings and equipment there 
 is needed $287,600. In order to bring our part up to that given by 
 Northern Baptists, we should provide $198,800 toward the amount 
 itemized below. Correspondence is solicited concerning this equip¬

 tribute a certain proportion of the outlay. 
 
 Motor Launch, Soochozv 
 $1,600 
 
 Most of the roads in the Soochow section are waterways. A good 
 part of the time of the missionary must be spent on slow and often

 The Needs of the 
 
 unsanitary house boats. If we had a good motor launch, our itinerant 
 work could be done more effectively. Much more time could he 
 given to each Station and the Stations could be visited oftener. 
 
 Land and Buildings for We Ling Day School, Soochoiv 
 
 $8,000 
 
 This school is for boys and girls and is a feeder for both Yates 
 Academy and We Ling Girls’ School, Soochow. It is now in a poorly 
 ventilated rented house, with no playgrounds worth mentioning. We 
 have all the boys and girls in this school for whom we can provide 
 room. The school helps Yates Academy and the We Ling Girls’ 
 School to reach the neighborhood for Christ. 
 
 Bing Hwo Jao Day School, Soochoiv 
 $8,000 
 
 This large Day School on the Compound occupied by the Brittons 
 should have a building in which it can do its work in a satisfactory 
 and effective way. 
 
 For Completion of Yates Academy Compound, Soochow 
 
 $4,000 
 
 One of the most prosperous of our educational institutions in 
 China is the Yates Academy. It is located well in the heart of Soo¬ 
 chow. It needs badly $4,000 with which to purchase other land, 
 increase its efficiency and at the same time protect itself from 
 undesirable neighbors. 
 
 Home for Evangelistic Missionary, Chinkiang 
 
 $4,800 
 
 Rev. A. Y. Napier and family have lived in China for about thir¬ 
 teen years and have never had a house of their own. We should 
 secure for them a place in which to live. 
 
 Land for Enlargement of Church, Chinkiang 
 
 $3,200 
 
 In the rear of the church in Chinkiang is a property owned by 
 Chinese which is very vital to our work. It is necessary for us to 
 acquire this property in order to provide for proper church and Sun¬ 
 day School facilities. The land is now on the market and the oppor¬ 
 tunity for securing it must not be lost.

 Church Building, Chinkiang 
 $12,000 
 
 A modern church, with Sunday School facilities, Chinese pastor s 
 home, reading rooms, day and night schools for boys and girls is 
 essential to the work in Chinkiang. Toward this object $4,000 has 
 been provided by the Judson Centennial Fund. It is necessary to 
 secure $12,000 more in order to complete this most urgently needed 
 church plant. 
 
 Land and Church Building for Second Baptist Church , Chinkiang 
 
 $4,000 
 
 The Second Church, Chinkiang City, is located in a very im¬ 
 portant section and at a long distance from the other church. The 
 need for a building in this section is very great. The land will cost 
 $800 and the building $3,200. 
 
 Equipment for Out-Stations, Chinkiang 
 $8,000 
 
 There are eight out-stations in the Chinkiang field. A number 
 of these congregations are churchless, without homes for pastors or 
 rooms for school work. This fund is needed to stimulate self-support 
 and encourage the people to erect church buildings.

 The Needs of the 
 
 Reconstruction of the Chinkiang Boys’ School 
 
 $1,600 
 
 This amount would enable us to reconstruct the present inade¬ 
 quate quarters for the Boys’ School into a serviceable plant. The 
 need ought to be met. 
 
 Primary School in Mandarin Section, Central China 
 (Location to Be Selected) 
 
 $8,000 
 
 It has been decided to have in the Central China Mission a school, 
 taught in the Mandarin dialect, for boys which would be developed 
 into an institution of the Middle School grade. It is desired to start 
 this as a Primary School and develop the same into a Middle School. 
 The other schools in the Central China Mission are taught in the 
 Shanghai dialect. The Mandarin-speaking section is immense and 
 must have a school. The school will probably be located at Chinkiang. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Yangchow 
 
 $4,800 
 
 A new missionary family is to be sent to Yangchow for evange¬ 
 listic work, and it is necessary to provide for them a residence in 
 which to live. 
 
 Land and Church Building, Yangchow 
 $9,500 
 
 The church, at present, is using an old adapted tea-house, which 
 does not accommodate the congregation. It is very important that a 
 church plant, with an auditorium, class, school and reading rooms be 
 provided for this promising church. In addition to the above-named 
 amount, the Judson Centennial will provide $2,500. 
 
 Motor Launch to Ply Between Chinkiang and Yangchozv 
 
 $1,600 
 
 Chinkiang is fifteen miles from Yangchow down the Grand Canal, 
 across the Yangtze River, toward Shanghai. The hospitals and 
 schools serve both Stations. Passing is frequent, and a launch would 
 have preserved Dr. Anderson’s life. 
 
 Equipment Out-Stations, Yangchoiv Field 
 $8,000 
 
 At present the nine homeless country churches around Yangchow

 worship in Chinese dwellings, with dirt floors. We desire to coop¬ 
 erate with these churches in procuring suitable buildings in which to 
 carry on their work. 
 
 Girls’ School, Yang chow 
 $ 5,500 
 
 This amount is needed to supplement the $2,500 provided by the 
 Judson Centennial for this Girls’ School. The school is very much 
 crowded. Nineteen girls sleep in one small dormitory room. The 
 room is too crowded to have spaces between half the beds. The 
 present building is in bad condition and has been repaired and braced 
 in places. A new building is very urgently needed. 
 
 Equipment, Nezv Station, Wusih 
 $19,200 
 
 Wusih is an enterprising city of 200.000 inhabitants. It is the 
 center of a thickly populated unevangelized territory. It is one of 
 the largest rice and cocoon markets in China. There is a unique 
 opportunity for Baptist work here. We are already doing an exten¬ 
 sive out-station work around Wusih and should take hold of this new 
 field in a vigorous way by locating a missionary on the ground and 
 providing the following equipment: 
 
 Land for Compound.$6,400 
 
 Church building . 8,000 
 
 Residence for missionary. 4,800 
 
 For Opening Nezv Station, Rugao 
 $16,800 
 
 The Central China Mission has been for many years eager to 
 occupy territory around Rugao City, east of Yangchow, and the 
 above-named amount is now requested in order that this field may 
 be adequately occupied. Rugao is a city of 100,000 in a splendid 
 country. There are eighteen market towns in this section. It is in 
 a center of a thousand square miles, containing 5,500,000 people. In 
 four adjoining counties we have work already. This field offers a 
 great opportunity for evangelistic, school and hospital work, where 
 we were pioneers and where we have five small churches. In these 
 five counties we ought to reach with the Gospel great hosts of people. 
 The above-named amount requested with which to open this new 
 Station would be distributed as follows:

 Equipment, City Compound, Kaifeng 
 $13,500 
 
 One of our finest opportunities for doing a great evangelistic 
 work in a great city is on the property already secured in the center 
 of Kaifeng. The multitudes pass by our doors. The missionaries 
 are on the ground ready to do the work. The next step is to pro¬ 
 vide adequate equipment for the proper prosecution of this promis¬ 
 ing work. The $13,500 requested would be used for the erection of 
 the following buildings on the land already secured:

 Light and Power Plant, Kaifeng 
 $2,000 
 
 Such a plant is necessary for the comfort and efficiency of the 
 work on the School Compound. 
 
 Girls' School Building, Kaifeng 
 $10,000 
 
 The Girls' School at Kaifeng is to be our only school in the In¬ 
 terior China Mission, giving high school and normal training for 
 women. It is imperative that it have a building to be used for admin¬ 
 istrative and recitation purposes. The building used at present will 
 then be used entirely for dormitory purposes and will provide for 
 about one hundred girls. This is one of our immediate needs. 
 
 Home for Single Women, Kaifeng 
 $2,400 
 
 The crowding of our young women workers in Kaifeng into unde¬ 
 sirable quarters must be ended and provision made for a comfortable 
 house for them. 
 
 Woman’s Industrial and Bible School Building, Kaifeng 
 
 $10,000 
 
 This money will be used to provide an Industrial School Build¬ 
 ing, which will include a Day Nursery, Kindergarten, Day School, 
 Industrial Department, a Bible School for Women and a center for 
 women’s work. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Pochow 
 
 $4,000 
 
 A new missionary must be sent to Pochow to reinforce the Bos¬ 
 tic families who have labored so long in that Station. It is essential 
 that there be provided for the new missionary a residence in which 
 to live. 
 
 Hospital Building, Pochow 
 $8,000 
 
 Pochow is a city of 140,000 people. It is estimated that in this 
 
26 
 
 The Needs of the 
 
 region there are four million people. The nearest missionary doctor 
 is forty hours away. We must protect the lives and health of our 
 missionaries here, as well as prepare to minister to the multitudes 
 in this region. 
 
 Woman's Hospital Building, Chengchow 
 $2,800 
 
 We have a men’s hospital building at Chengchow. It is necessary 
 to build a woman’s hospital because we must not neglect the medical 
 needs of the women. 
 
 Residence for Doctor, Chengchow 
 $4,000 
 
 An additional doctor must be sent to Chengchow and a residence 
 must be provided for him. 
 
 Boys' School Building, Chengchoiv

 In the development of our excellent Boys’ Academy at Chengchow 
 it is necessary to provide a building.

 PROPERTY NEEDS 
 
 For Enlarging Boys' School, Chcfoo 
 $2,500 
 
 This school has an enrollment of over one hundred pupils. There 
 is absolutely no room for boarders or more day pupils. Further 
 progress is impossible without more buildings. The Judson Centen¬ 
 nial Fund will add $1,500 to the above-named sum. 
 
 Remodeling Missionary Residence, Tcngchozv 
 
 $1,600 
 
 It is necessary to remodel what is known as the Turner residence 
 for the man in charge of the Boys’ School. The walls of this house 
 arc damp and in its present state of repair it is not fit for occupation. 
 
 Church Building for Chao Yuen, Hzvanghien 
 
 $2,400 
 
 It is difficult to set forth the extreme need of helping the Chinese 
 church at this place to secure a house of worship. The church is a 
 small one, the membership poor, but heroic. They have a fine field 
 in a county seat thirty miles from Hwanghien. This is an urgent need. 
 
 Church Building, Hzvanghien City 
 $16,000 
 
 For thirty years missionaries worked in Hwanghien before per¬ 
 mission could be had to even rent a building in the city. Within 
 recent years the door has been opened and a foothold gained inside. 
 We now occupy a rented Chinese building, unsuitable and expensive. 
 
 I he money requested would erect a church building which would be 
 run on the institutional plan. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Hzvanghien 
 
 $4,800 
 
 The evangelistic worker for this field must have a place in which 
 to live.

 The Needs of the 
 
 Enlargement of the Girls School, Hwanghien 
 
 $9,600 
 
 The location and the present building of the Carter Girls’ School 
 are both very poor. The building is unsafe. It is necessary to move 
 to a new location. The new building will cost $6,400. Since this 
 school is to be one of the Middle Schools of the North China Mission, 
 it is necessary to have proper equipment. The $3,200 for this pur¬ 
 pose is urgently needed. 
 
 Equipment for Boys Middle School, Hzvanghien 
 
 $3,200 
 
 Since the Mission has decided to make the Hwanghien Boys' 
 School of the Middle School grade, it is necessary for it to have the 
 additional equipment requested. 
 
 Men’s Hospital Building, Hzvanghien 
 $8,000 
 
 \ \ 
 
 The present men's hospital is inadequate to meet the needs. With 
 the $8,000 requested the building must be enlarged and made very 
 much more useful. The need is very urgent. This is our oldest 
 medical work in China. 
 
 Equipment for Hospital, Hzvanghien 
 $1,700 
 
 This amount of money is needed for the equipment of the new 
 building for men. 
 
 Residence for Doctor, Hzvanghien 
 $4,800 
 
 An additional doctor is to be sent to Hwanghien, and it will be 
 necessary to provide him a place of residence. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Lung K’eo 
 
 $4,800 
 
 A new missionary is to be sent to Lung K’eo and will need a 
 residence. 
 
 Equipment for Hospital in Laichozv

 We have two hospital buildings in Laichow—one for men and 
 one for women—but they are poorly equipped.

 Hospital Building and Equipment, Pingtu 
 $7,000 
 
 It is quite necessary to move the present men’s hospital building 
 to higher and dryer ground. Money should be provided for this pur¬ 
 pose at once so that it could be erected in connection with the woman’s 
 hospital which is being erected. This need requires very prompt 
 attention. The woman’s hospital has been made possible by the Jud- 
 son Centennial Fund. 
 
 Residence for Missionary Doctor, Pingtu 
 $4,800 
 
 An additional Doctor will be sent to Pingtu. A residence must 
 be provided for him. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Pingtu 
 
 $4,800 
 
 This building is needed for the new Evangelistic Missionary who 
 is to be sent to Pingtu. 
 
 For Development of Station, Taian 
 $16,000 
 
 Taian has recently come under our Board from the Gospel Mis¬ 
 sion. The Station is a most promising one, if equipment is provided 
 promptly. We need a plot of ground, at least five acres in dimen¬ 
 sions, upon which we can erect a chapel, residences for the mission¬ 
 aries, a Boys School and a Girl’s School building and evangelistic 
 quarters for men and women. The need is great. Already the Girls’ 
 School has forty pupils, twenty-six of whom are boarders, and the 
 Boys’ School is a necessity. The money requested would be expended 
 as follows: 
 
 Land for Compound.$4,000 
 
 Walls around land. 1,600 
 
 Girls’ School building. 3,200 
 
 Boys’ School building. 3,200

 while the school itself grows in numbers and needs. It is in great 
 need of a building. 
 
 Building for Girls’ School, Laiyang 
 $4,000 
 
 The work in this school must be built up from the ground. Equip¬ 
 ment is necessary. 
 
 Residence for a Missionary, Laiyang 
 $4,800 
 
 The Laiyang Station is in great need of a family for school and 
 evangelistic work. Dr. and Mrs. Hearn are there alone and need 
 help. This residence is necessary when the new missionary is sent. 
 
 Land and Residence for Missionary, Tsingtao 
 
 $6,400 
 
 The city of Tsingtao has sprung into world notoriety during the 
 recent war. It is a very-important port. We have for many years 
 had a church there. Many young men of our churches and schools 
 in the interior go to Tsingtao for business reasons. It is a growing 
 city, with the best harbor on the Shantung Coast, and with railroad 
 facilities. We must place an evangelistic missionary there, and he 
 will, of course, need a residence. 
 
 Hospital Building, Tsingtao 
 $24,000 
 
 Money is needed to build a first-class hospital in this great city. 
 There is no Mission Hospital there. The need is apparent. 
 
 Two Missionary Residences for Tsi King Chozv 
 
 $9,600 
 
 In this great city, second in size only to the capital of the Prov¬ 
 ince, and one of the commercial centers in both old and new China, 
 we have never had a missionary located. A thousand Christians, with 
 no training, are pleading for a shepherd to lead them. There are 
 nearly six hundred Christians in the four churches at Tsi Ning Chow 
 and 500 more in the five churches to the east, which can be looked 
 after from this city. This work was started by the Native Home 
 
Foreign Mission Board 
 
 3 1 
 
 Mission Board and has outgrown the Board. Two families can run 
 the school and evangelistic work. They, of course, would need resi¬ 
 dences. 
 
 Land and Missionary Residence , Dalny 
 $6,400 
 
 We have, for a long time, had work in Manchuria, China. It is 
 a wonderfully open field and needs supervision. One of our present 
 missionary force will probably be transferred to this field soon. It 
 is almost impossible to rent a building, so it is necessary to provide 
 him with a residence. 
 
 Missionary Residence and Student Center, Tsinanfu 
 
 $16,000 
 
 This is the capital city of Shantung. In it; are thousands of students 
 in Government and Christian schools. Many of our own students go 
 there. This plant is greatly needed, and will be a great asset to our 
 work. We will need a residence for our missionary and a building 
 which will be used for a student center. This is a unique oppor¬ 
 tunity. The money will be used as follows: 
 
 Residence for missionary..$6,400 
 
 Student Center . 9,600 
 
 Equipment for Willingham College, North China 
 
 $84,400 
 
 It has been decided to have a combined educational institution for 
 North China, which will have Middle School, Junior College, Normal 
 and Kindergarten Training School, Woman’s Bible Training School, 
 Industrial School, Girls’ Middle School and Theological Seminary, in 
 a point in the North China Mission soon to be fixed upon. By this 
 combination of effort, it is hoped very much more efficient work in the 
 various departments named can be done and the institution run on a 
 very economical basis. Such an institution will perform a far-reach¬ 
 ing service in our North China Mission field. The Judson Centen¬ 
 nial has already provided some buildings and equipment necessary 
 for this school. In addition to the amount provided by the Judson 
 Centennial, the following is urgently needed: 
 
 Land for campus.$24,000

 PROPERTY needs 
 
 Church Building on Compound at Canton 
 $36,000 
 
 The present Church building does not accommodate even the stu¬ 
 dent body of one thousand, which is rapidly increasing. We need a 
 building that will seat three thousand people, thus enabling us to 
 provide for the large student body and for reaching many people 
 who are building rapidly in our community. This request stands out 
 as one of the great needs of our South China Mission. The Chinese 
 will contribute twelve thousand dollars, in addition. 
 
 North Gate Chapel, Canton 
 $2,000 
 
 People in this community are Hakkas and the students from the 
 Hakka Department of Graves Seminary use this place as a center for 
 evangelistic work. Hence its importance, not only for reaching the 
 community with the Gospel, but as a practical training station for 
 our Theological students. 
 
 Administration Building for Girls (Pool To) High 
 
 School, Canton 
 $22,000 
 
 Our educational work for girls in South China heads up in the 
 Pooi To Girls’ High School. This building, therefore, would serve all 
 South China for High School work for girls. It is exceedingly im¬ 
 portant that this leading School should have an adequate class room 
 and administration building for its work.

 Dormitory for Girls (Pooi To) High School, Canton

 Class rooms are not enough. The girls must have a place in which 
 to live while in school. Hence this necessary request. 
 
 Normal School Buildings, Pool To Girls’ School, Canton 
 
 $26,400 
 
 One of our greatest needs is for trained teachers to work in 
 schools connected with our country chapels. The Normal School will 
 enable us to supply this need. The students are ready to fill the 
 buildings. 
 
 Building for Woman's Missionary Training School, Canton 
 
 $5,600 
 
 The South China Mission has founded a Woman’s Missionary 
 Training School after the fashion of the Woman's Missionary Train¬ 
 ing School in Louisville, Ky. A large part of the work wall be done 
 in connection with Graves Theological Seminary, but those women 
 must have a building in which to live and do their work. From this 
 institution will come in the future many efficient Bible women. 
 
 Gymnasium and Dining Room, Graves Theological 
 Seminary, Canton 
 $ 11,200 
 
 This building is an urgent and important need. The Judson Dormi¬ 
 tory will soon be completed, but no provision has been made for a 
 Dining Room. Since for several months of the school year it is too 
 wet in Canton for outdoor exercise, a Gymnasium is much needed 
 to aid in keeping up the health and vigor of our students. The 
 physically strong are mentally alert. 
 
 For Development of Work, China Baptist Publication 
 
 Society, Canton 
 (Annually) $15,500 
 
 This Publication Society is our great agent for the distribution of 
 the Word of God and Giristian literature in China. It has a splendid 
 plant in Canton and is rendering a missionary service of the first 
 importance. Its field is unlimited, its opportunities unparalleled. In 
 addition to the sum that is now being annually spent upon this Society, 
 we need the above-named sum distributed as follows:

 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, San Wooi 
 
 $3,500 
 
 We have already asked the missionaries in this field to live too 
 long in cramped Chinese quarters. They must be given a comfortable 
 house in which to live. 
 
 Hospital, Kiveilin 
 $16,000 
 
 Dr. Mewshaw and his native co-worker, Dr. Ngeo, have developed 
 the medical work in Kweilin to such a point that a hospital is neces¬ 
 sary. Dr. Mewshaw has acquired the language and is now ready to 
 render full service. It is hardly possible to find a place where a 
 more far-reaching medical service can be rendered than through a 
 hospital in Kweilin. 
 
 Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Wuchow 
 
 $3,500 
 
 A new missionary must be sent to Wuchow to help in the evan¬ 
 gelistic work. This new missionary will need a residence at once. 
 
 Hospital, Wuchow 
 $3 5,ooo 
 
 We have at Wuchow one of the greatest medical opportunities 
 to be found anywhere. This Hospital will serve a vast population, 
 and when the building is completed will not only be self-supporting, 
 but will contribute largely to the evangelistic work in that region. 
 The foundation and first story of the building have been erected, and 
 it will be a great pity for the construction work to be discontinued. 
 Many patients are now being turned away for lack of room. This 
 need is critically urgent. 
 
 Land and Residence for Evangelistic Missionary, Nanning 
 
 $10,000 
 
 Nanning is the capital of Kwong Si Province and provides a splen¬ 
 did opportunity for church and school work. It is the purpose of 
 our South China Mission to open this as a new Station as soon as 
 possible, and the above amount is needed to start the work.

 The Needs of the 
 
 EUROPEAN MISSIONS 
 
 PROPERTY NEEDS 
 
 Lot, Chapel and Pastor’s Quarters, Florence 
 
 $25,000 
 
 This city of 200,000, one of the greatest art centers in Italy, holds 
 a place second in importance only to Rome itself. It is vain to hope 
 for very great success in missionary effort in a rented hall in a cul¬ 
 tured city like this. A neat chapel would give our work here a 
 tremendous impetus. For $25,000 we can buy a lot and erect on it a 
 chapel and quarters for the pastor. 
 
 Land and Building for Theological Seminary, Rome 
 
 $85,000 
 
 Now that the war is over, we expect to put our Theological Sem¬ 
 inary again into full operation. The new day requires trained men 
 to meet its needs. Never was a Theological Seminary in Rome more 
 necessary. We should face the fact that it is impossible to accom¬ 
 plish the work we want to do in this Seminary without ample quarters. 
 We ought to erect in Rome a great building that would impress itself 
 upon the community. When we think of the city in which the insti¬ 
 tution is located and the problems it has to face, the amount here re¬ 
 quested is very, very modest. This need ought to be met promptly. 
 
 Completion of Church Building, Prague, Bohemia 
 
 $12,000 
 
 Before the war property had been acquired in Prague, and the 
 local church had assumed large obligations. Out of the Judson Cen¬ 
 tennial Fund $3,000 was sent to help the church in erecting its build¬ 
 ing. The war interfered with the operations. It is necessary now 
 that the building be completed, and we must have the $12,000 here 
 requested with which 1 to do this work. This is a most important and 
 a most vital need.

 PROPERTY needs 
 
 Land, Chapel and Residence for Missionary, Nagasaki 
 
 . $11,500 
 
 Surely, in the greatest seaport of Japan, we ought to have a respec¬ 
 table church and, in addition, a comfortable house in which the mis¬ 
 sionary in charge of the Station can live. Of the amount requested 
 above, $6,500 is needed to supplement $2,500 already provided in the 
 Judson Centennial Fund for the Church. The remaining $5,000 
 would be used for the purchase of land and the erection of a mis¬ 
 sionary residence. 
 
 Land and Chapel, Koknra 
 $3,000 
 
 In Kokura for a long time the church has used a remodeled Jap¬ 
 anese building, which is too small, too dark and in need of repair. 
 Recently the old quarters were sold for $4,700, and we are requesting

 The Needs of the 
 
 $3,000 to supplement that received from the sale of the old property, 
 in order that a good church building may he erected on land we 
 already own near our missionary residence. 
 
 Land and Residence, Yawata 
 $5,000 
 
 Yawata is a great industrial city. The Government Steel Mills are 
 located here. The members of the Church are awake and need 
 encouragement. They will raise a considerable sum to supplement 
 the above-named amount. This need should be met at once. 
 
 Land and Chapel Building, Wakamatsu 
 $5,000 
 
 It is said that ten thousand boats make their home in the Bay 
 of Wakamatsu. It is one of the greatest coal markets in the w'orld. 
 Calder Willingham was greatly devoted to this field. The enterpris¬ 
 ing church is altogether worthy of the encouragement here requested. 
 
 Laud and Chapel, Kure 
 $5,000 
 
 Kure has a population of 125,000. It is one of the three im¬ 
 portant naval bases in Japan. Here the largest Battle Ships in Japan 
 are built. Last summer a prominent factory owner was converted, 
 and immediately after his baptism he deposited in the bank $250 as 
 a contribution toward building a chapel. This is the largest contribu¬ 
 tion ever made by a Japanese for the support of our work. The 
 chapel building requested is very urgently needed. 
 
 Land and Chapel, Omuta 
 $5,000 
 
 Omuta is a very important city in the Kumamoto region, with a 
 population of over 50,000. The work is new and difficult. There 
 is great need of the land and chapel requested. 
 
 Kindergarten, Kagoshima 
 $2,000 
 
 This modest sum would provide kindergarten equipment in the 
 important city of Kagoshima. The opportunity for service through 
 this kindergarten is very great.

 Missionary Home, Kagoshima 
 $4,000 
 
 The Medling family is living in a rented Japanese house. When 
 money was available for the work in Kagoshima Station they put it 
 into a church building. A mission residence should be built for this 
 Station. 
 
 Kindergarten, Sasebo 
 $2,000 
 
 A kindergarten would greatly strengthen and encourage the con¬ 
 gregation in Sasebo. The church is of a character that would make 
 it use helpfully this equipment. This city is one of the great naval 
 ports of Japan. 
 
 Evangelistic Plant — Land, Chapel, Missionary Residence 
 and Parsonage, Hakata 
 $15,ooo 
 
 Hakata is the business section of Fukuoka. It is very urgently 
 desired to build an evangelistic plant in this section, which may be 
 used for night school, kindergarten and preaching place. Here also 
 would be erected houses for the pastor of the church and for the 
 resident missionary. The purpose is to have preaching every eve¬ 
 ning, making extensive use of the students in our proposed Theological 
 Seminary. This would provide them with needed experience and 
 training for evangelistic work. 
 
 For Development, Boys' School, Fukuoka 
 $49,250 
 
 We have an excellent Boys’ Academy at Fukuoka, which must 
 be developed as the central school to take care of our educational 
 work for boys in Japan. There must be added several years to the 
 course this school is now providing. We must do this in order to pre¬ 
 pare properly our ministerial students, and at the same time we can 
 be educating Christian laymen. At Fukuoka also is to be located the 
 Theological Seminary. To take care of these schools we must add 
 at least four more acres to the present campus. We have in hand 
 $12,500 for land for the Seminary. To this we must add $12,500 
 more in order to secure the land needed for these two schools. The 
 $30,000 requested for the main building for the Boys’ School must be

 necessity of having at Fukuoka a first-class school of the character 
 here outlined. The amount requested for the development of this 
 school will be expended as follows:

 Girls’ School, Kumamoto 
 $ 7 , 5 °° 
 
 It will be necessary to supplement the sum raised in the Judson 
 Centennial Fund with the $7,500 requested here. The Judson Cen¬ 
 tennial Fund will provide the land and $12,500 on buildings, but it 
 will be necessary to have $7,500 more in order to put up the build¬ 
 ings necessary for the opening of the school. This Girls’ School is 
 a new enterprise and is of prime importance to our missionary work 
 in Japan. 
 
 Evangelistic Plant, Tokyo 
 $40,000 
 
 While we were cooperating with our Northern Baptist brethren 
 in conducting a Theological Seminary in Tokyo, our missionaries in¬ 
 augurated a prosperous evangelistic work in that great city. The 
 Mission is very decidedly of the opinion that we should continue 
 our work in the capital. A great many of our members from the 
 Kyushu field, far to the South, go to Tokyo. These should be looked 
 after. Besides, Tokyo is one of the greatest cities in the Orient, and 
 our cause will be greatly strengthened by developing an evangelistic 
 work in the capital of the Empire. It will be necessary to provide 
 the missionary with a home, a chapel and a Student Hostel. There is 
 opportunity for far-reaching service in conducting a student home 
 under Baptist influence. The $40,000 requested for this Tokyo enter¬ 
 
 prise would be used as follows: 
 
 For land.$12,500

 The Needs of the 
 
 MEXICAN MISSION 
 
 PROPERTY NEEDS 
 
 High School and Theological Training School, Aguas Calientes 
 
 $25,000 
 
 The Northern and Southern Baptists are conducting now a very 
 successful and satisfactory Bible Training School in Saltillo. Even 
 under the present trying circumstances in Mexico this school is suc¬ 
 ceeding splendidly. It is proposed to locate the school at Aguas Cali¬ 
 entes, which will put it within easy reach of the men of both Missions. 
 There we will have, in addition to the Bible School, a High School 
 for the literary training of the young men. A plant is necessary, 
 our share of which will be the amount here requested. 
 
 Boys’ School, Toluca 
 $5,000 
 
 It has been decided to have several Boys’ Schools of the Grammar 
 School grade, from which will come many students who will take the 
 higher training in the High School and Bible Training School. One 
 of these schools is to be located at Toluca, where already we have 
 done successful school work. 
 
 Church Building, Toluca 
 $5,000 
 
 The church we are now using in Toluca is very badly located. 
 We are in great need of a church building in that city, which is the 
 capital of the State of Mexico. It is probable that a building will be 
 available quite soon, which will be just the thing for our church. We 
 should be in position to take advantage of our opportunity. 
 
 Church Building, Guadalajara 
 $5,000 
 
 Something should be done towards providing better church facili¬ 
 ties at Guadalajara. The building we now use is inadequate and unat¬ 
 tractive. It is necessary that we provide a house in order to take 
 better care of our work in this, in many respects, the most attractive 
 city of Mexico. 
 
Foreign Mission Board 
 
 45 
 
 Church Building, Atoyac 
 $2,500 
 
 We have a promising work at Atoyac that would be greatly en¬ 
 larged and helped if the $2,500 here requested could be provided for 
 the purchase of a lot and used toward the erection of a church. The 
 pastor here has made great sacrifices in order to provide for a place 
 of worship. We ought to meet his spirit and help him put the church 
 on its feet. 
 
 Girls’ School, Saltillo 
 $10,000 
 
 It will be necessary to reconstruct our school work for girls in 
 Mexico. In this reconstruction, which we hope can take place quite 
 soon, we must have at least one good Girls’ School. This school will 
 be located at Saltillo. The school property we own at Saltillo has 
 been commandeered by the Government and greatly abused. The 
 amount here requested, and probably more, will be needed. 
 
 Mexican Baptist Publishing House 
 $25,000 
 
 Our Mexican Baptist Publishing House has been moved tempor¬ 
 arily to El Paso, Texas, where it is doing an excellent work. As soon 
 as conditions settle in Mexico the House will be moved back within 
 Mexican territory. Whether the House remains at El Paso or is 
 moved back into Mexico, it needs for equipment $12,500. In addi¬ 
 tion to this, we need very greatly $12,500 to produce and circulate 
 Christian literature. There is a wonderful opportunity for pressing 
 a literature campaign at the present time.
