TITILILIPILICLCEEILi ty THE ORGANIZATION. = =HE American Baptist Foreign Mission Society T is the general organization of Baptists in the northern states through which the de- “_o_“u—"T"C""" NOMination conducts its foreign mission work. The Society meets annually in connection with the sessions of the Northern Baptist Convention and all delegates to the meeting of the Convention are members of the Society. Besides these the membership includes any delegates who may be appointed by the churches to the annual meeting of the society, the life members* and all the missionaries. The Society is one of the cooperating organizations of the Northern Baptist Convention, soliciting funds and making expenditures only on approval of the Convention. Thus it will be seen that the Society is very directly related to the churches; the churches control the policy of the Society, the missionaries are the representatives of the churches and the work that is done depends upon the support of the churches. Except in Bengal-Orissa the work for women is under the direction of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. This is a separate organiza- tion cooperating with the general Society, however, in the appointment of missionaries and conduct of the work. Sittetei incite FTULPOPTORREESGEE * No new life memberships have been created since 1908, but all previously created memberships are recognized. Asa matter of fact the annual meeting of the Society is composed almost if not wholly, of delegates tothe,Convention.

In addition a cooperative relationship is maintained with local committees in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Finland, Denmark and Norway. About 700 missionaries, men and women (including UC TOUDOURORUPORREROD a wives) are at work in these mission fields. They are not ordinary men and women. Many who apply for appointment are declined because of :lack of spiritual, physical, mental or temperamental fitness, and those who are chosen are in most cases those of outstanding ability. All have had successful experience in Christian work, practically all are college graduates, with a post- graduate or professional school course in addition. Some have been athletes in their school days, others have been successful pastors, still others have given up fine positions in teaching or in business to accept appointment as missionaries. All have been selected because of their ability in Christian leadership, and are men and women of whom the churches that have sent them forth can be proud. In most countries the first term of active service is six and a half years, and succeeding terms seven and a half years. In Belgian Congo and the Philippines, owing to climatic conditions, the term is shorter. A furlough of fifteen or eighteen months follows each term of active service, and every missionary is required to come home for his furlough at the regular time, unless special circumstances seem to make postpone- ment advisable. The salaries of the missionaries are based on the principle of support, not remuneration, hence they vary in different countries. ‘They also differ according OUPURERCUEDOLELEQUREDCEEOCRCURODDLOGRORUOSEUCLDSOOUESEDUCHORURRCOUTODRRERERUORDRUSQUCCORBRDRDOCUCCORUADGTOUCOODOCUOROCRCSOBUNSOOOORARCOOROURROCUCROORGEOTOOSESROCOCOSOROSOOOTOCRNED RG RS SUDUOPEGOGEGPSUPLUREDGEOSRTOPSOOCSEDSOPOLUREGEQRNSUER EASE GUPERSECEQSSEGUCREESOREEOS SUPDAPEUERASOVEDONECESUDSERGEGSECDOCQUQSDRURSCCOROQEEREDESOUDUERSORSOLESUCUSENSCRURTRROCECPRCEDONONRCOUREECORSOUDECUOOGRQRACURECRORSDEGTRSPPRERECUROPIUADCOPRGPEGUDRGPRGEOURSPOSRUGOORPESHRROD BORE t CUCEESCRUACETREGEGCGEEEREE TT ETROGACTRESSEOE ESOS CSC OEASATRCAUESED TRAE ROCCE ELSES TORN EROREAGEASERERORARCERS ESET ON ACESS ESTO HEALED GEA O EES ESERERORESUEECUSEROTOCHCCSURUR ERASE ESECC NATED to length of service, ranging (for married men) from $1000 to $1200 in some countries and from $1200 to $1440 in others. An addition is made to the salary for each child and a house is also provided. The salary of a single man or woman is from $600 to $1200, with house rent. An outfit allowance of $200 to $400 is given new missionaries, and a refit of $100 to $200 to those returning to their work. During furlough the salary is $1100 for a married man, and $600 to $734 for a single man or woman. Transportation to and from the field is also provided. To some people these salaries will seem large, to others small, according to what they themselves receive. With rare exceptions the missionaries do not save any- thing from their income, while on the other hand their salaries are intended to be ample for all needs.

Both laymen and ministers are included in the membership, and a glance at their names will show that all are men of high standing and worthy of con- fidence. They meet regularly once a month in an all-day session, with a two-days’ meeting quarterly. Besides these there are special meetings and frequent committee meetings and conferences. The members give liberally of their time and thought, with the same spirit that actuates the missionaries. With the ex- ception of occasional executive sessions, all meetings of the Board are open, and nothing would give a better idea of the work than attendance upon one of these meetings. Missionaries and others who have sat with the Board have invariably expressed their surprise and gratification at the earnest, conscientious, sym- pathetic and prayerful spirit in which the business is COTRCOEMGERTRADEOETS PUUPEEECEEENDEENT ” FC eee TANUAGOAAAOONUUAURRONOCROSOAAD ADCO UOCHASAOUUEAOOAAEAAASUAOORCRAASEOUDEROOONUOOEUASUERCAUAAUCOOUCEEAUO DSCC UECEACAOORCOACOLEOOEREOOCECOEOTOOANECUOADASCUCARASEADERAOUECULALOUOCGRSCNOCOOOUCORECEDNECOCERE OREO OUUGUSCOANSEEEU RECUR ONEOOECLS COREA EE CEEECUECT UO EEN SEED CREEPER u SORDORRRUSERERSUORAUOREECORORSEORRRRERADEDEREDERRESERROPERGORUEDEN DOA PURERCEORRORANDRACDORDDRORDRRORRPR ODED ORR DORURDEGPRSOREDROOURODSRONODSGCERRCCOUOUDSOGRSRSERVORRREOREREOAROREOURE conducted.

ADDUEDERECEOCODEUR OES =HE plans and policies of the Board of Managers A) are carried out under the direction of the executive officers at the headquarters of the umes Society, 800 Ford Building, 15 Ashburton Place, Boston. ‘These officers are eight in number. The General Secretary, Emory W. Hunt, has advisory relation to all the departments, and is especially in charge of the general financial campaign and the se- curing of new missionaries. The Home Secretary, Fred P. Haggard, and the Assistant Secretary in the Home Department, William B. Lipphard, have charge of the educational work in the churches and Sunday schools, correspondence relating to the Station Plan and the support of workers, the direction of the District Secretaries, the deputation work of missionaries on furlough, relationship to certain important interde- nominational agencies, and the preparation and circu- lation of literature. The Foreign Secretaries, James H. Franklin and Arthur C. Baldwin, with the Assistant Secretary in the Foreign Department, George B. Huntington, have in charge the large correspondence with the missionaries relating to all interests of the work on the foreign fields. Dr. Franklin has oversight of the work in China, Japan, the Philippines, Belgian Congo and Europe, while Mr. Baldwin is similarly related to Burma, Assam, South India and Bengal-Orissa. The development of the policies and plans for the work abroad is a large task belonging to the Secretaries in the Foreign Department. The Treasurer, Ernest S. Butler, and the Vice-Treasurer, John F. Barnes, receive and care for the money, invest the funds, disburse the appropriations and keep the multitude SPULUROGHDORORUROORE PT UOUGUDUEECAOPRSUEVOOUODAETUSOCUSOGSOOODURUNOSUROOOUSUDOUCUOPUSUOEPSERSSCUSUPHUCUOUAGEDODEPOONCODOSUUNEOUORAUORNNURRRSQGRROOUCOORDEREONUEROSOEQSUUSNGGURSRRUUOUGDRQURASIUSCONEOSOHSUDONTTSNDGSHOOUEOESUODCODOGUORUNENUONNUOUSGSUGHESRUGUOUTNOGOUUTEUONUGRONOURSOUSGHOOQUDONTGGRES VUQEPEGAPONEDOEDURDEORERRERSGHENSNUSEANERSUCRERUSEROSUSOQURPOEONULESUERRNURREUSOHENSQURSEDASUQSDERRERUGHHEROQUSQEREPESEUSYAOREGHENESEPOGUERSENSSERSONSSIPSSSOSSUCUSESOSCEROOKEGUCSSERSNERSAPRIASSUESOGPOUEORSELQSECROASQCRQUFESPORCQUCUHERRAEOCQESSPSSCHLSRUSUERAOUERURORREPOPOOYE: 7 HEDDURDCUUROCUREDERURCCEEGRASODUOEUGRSEO DERE COU DEGHEROGDUDERS GPR URRUURODEREOHOKRURUDRDOSOCOREUGD DORE DROS PDERODOPRRORODGRORSOPECHDURROCDRDDSCRESOUOOGRCURRECOESRE NEES EDSRPRESURDURSOOE De 4 vv Lt of accounts required. Each department has related to it subcommittees of the Board with whom the exec- utive officers consult frequently in preparation of bus- iness for the Board. Associated with the executive officers is a trained and efficient staff of assistants, clerks and stenographers, all of whom are earnest Christians, giving their faithful service with true missionary interest to the common cause. Few people realize what a vast amount of work is involved in the conduct of so complex an enterprise comprising ele- ments that in this country are usually cared for by separate organizations: Evangelization, Education, Medical work, Industrial work, Translation and Publication. THE WORK ON THE HOME FIELD. =N order to stimulate interest and prayer on if behalf of the work among the churches at = home and to secure continual and increasing — contributions, it is necessary to keep the churches in touch with the work of the missionaries. This is necessary as well for the life of the churches themselves as for the continuance of the work abroad. This work on the home field includes information, inspiration and collection of money, and as stated elsewhere, is done through the Home Department. The District Secretaries, ten in number, represent the Society in this work among the churches. With these should be included five secretaries of state mis- sionary bureaus or collecting agencies, appointed by the State Conventions. These are as follows: SUPETECERCUEOEATTOUE TUUEUEEDOTEOENEE .

D.,+ Lewiston, Me. These secretaries are all eager to cooperate with the churches, making suggestions regarding methods of work, helping in the solution of problems, distri- buting literature, visiting the churches so far as time will permit, and receiving missionary offerings. Hearty cooperation is needed between pastors, treasurers and other leaders in the churches and the district sec- retaries, to secure the largest results in the work. An important factor in disseminating missionary information is the deputation work of missionaries at home on furlough. Not all are available for this work, but as many as possible are sent among the churches on carefully planned itineraries, carrying their inspiring message. The general missionary education work is carried on through the Department of Missionary Education, 23 East 26th Street, New York City, of which John M. Moore, D.D. is secretary. This is the authorized educational agency of all the Baptist missionary. so- cieties.

TOCCRGODEOUAUOEREEIS =OST of the missionaries are engaged princi- M pally in evangelistic work, by which is meant preaching tours through the country, care ou" of churches and direction of evangelists or Bible women. Many, however, are teachers, having oversight of day schools for boys, or girls, or acting as principals of high schools, or directing industrial schools, or serving as professors in the mission colleges or theological seminaries. Following the example of the Great Physician, other missionaries are doctors, in charge of hospitals and dispensaries and training native physicians and nurses. The Bible and Christian literature must be circulated, and some missionaries give their attention, wholly or in part, to translating the Bible into the language of the people, writing books or tracts, or superintending the printing and circulation of this literature. Still other missionaries are in charge of orphanages, widows’ homes, or leper asylums. Yet others are business agents or stenographers, and one is the captain-evangelist in charge of the Gospel Ship in Japan. Whatever the special form of their work, they are first of all Christian missionaries, using the talents and abilities that they have to help establish the Kingdom of God in the lands to which they have gone. In each field the missionaries have organized them- selves into a Conference, which in most cases meets annually for the discussion of problems of the work. Between sessions of the conference a reference commit- tee represents the mission body, acting on matters referred to them by the missionaries or the Board. Property interests, including the erection of all mission buildings, are in charge of a property committee. A language examination committee directs the language study of newly appointed missionaries. Higher edu- cational institutions have advisory boards of trustees, and medical work is under the oversight of a medical ELL TUPTEC OEE EEEEEE cJ UOVONCTEOUVOUUESEOROASUODOUSG SONU CCHUAEOUNUUOEUOUCSUOUEUEDAOULEUCUGEUSUEEUGUOSOOCUUNCHSSUSESLOAUUQESEOSSGPAUDEATOAVOSULDORIAUASOANGESOQSOEUASUOUSSO SOAS ONE SASOADSESAEOSUASESOAURNOCSSACUSEAAGURCOEDOOUAGESOUCATRSCUCEAULSAQNTAOCAOSUOASUCOMEUSRESUSCDOSUUQEEOSOUUCUONOSUUSUEGUESEADS FOUUOVAEUECUEUOCUORCUUEOORETENEEUEDOCEOEUOCUUCU SEED ECT OCOLOUAUCTOROLEUREDCSUDOEOPOROSOEROLEDOCOCCCECHERETEOSUONUOSECUSSOOOOUETACODESPRULOCUOUCOSOREAGORDNOUUROEOOAOOSURTOOORGCOUOSUCDONGUMUOESCUESUGOOUUEREOUSEUOKEASUSLORCGONSUHUSOOOUQUSECUSUOOUORAECRAEDEQODOQHERNOUOROEQSOONERONN “AUCUNCVEREEENSUOGORELHCUAECUNOREGEROOEHORERORUREEEDUCHRAREOOUEEOUSEOERPRONERENCIORSORNEDRGESOSEUMUOMGAUROUDOKUGODRURUAUOUQOSRESHOUSNEDOUOOUENOUSUEEAURESOROURNSERODRROEQUORDEROSROOED . ITLL committee. Other committees are appointed as needed. While these committees take much time and thought, they are an integral part of the missionary’s work and a most important part, too, coordinating and strength- ening the work of all, preventing loss and in very many ways increasing efficiency. Large sums have been invested in the equipment of the work on the foreign field. ‘The missionaries must have suitable homes; schools must have buildings, apparatus and libraries; preaching halls and chapels must be built; doctors must have dispensaries and hospitals; and printing presses must be housed. ‘Then there is the fine Gospel Ship and the touring outfits, carts, ponies, tents, gospel wagons, motor launches, motorcycles, and many other things, all needed for carrying the glorious gospel message to the people in cities and villages, mountains and jungles. ‘There are many buildings in the missions as good as can be found anywhere in the Fast, like the Cushing Memorial Buildings of Rangoon Baptist College, or the American Baptist Mission Press at Rangoon, or the Ashmore Theological Seminary at Swatow, China, or the new Central Tabernacle in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately not all the work is as well cared for, lack of money making it impossible to provide the missionaries with the equipment which is absolutely essential to the largest use of their abilities and opportunities.
