Foreign Secretary N. 0 , Clark. D.D. , of
Boston , In hla annual survey of the board's
work , reports marked progress at nearly
every point in the great missionary field ,
with a steady growth and enlargement , so
far as means would permit. Lack of ade
quate means to Improve the opportunities Is
the one draw back. Peculiar difficulties have
been encountered In Japan , \tbtro but 670
now members have been added to the
churches.
Rev. Judson Smith , D.D , the second for
eign secretary , says ot the work In China that
It has ever been the case that missionary
Interests have been found to be most closely
connected with the movement of political
events , and while no attempt Is made to
forecast the outcome of the present struggle ,
great anxiety Is expressed. He adds. "While
at the present moment MO cannot avoid anx
ieties as to the personal safety of our mis
sionaries und the security of the Institutions
they have established , we may look with all
confidence beyond these present tumults to a
great and decisive advantage soon to be re
alized In our Christian work In behalf of
this empire. "
The summary Tor 1891 shows the number
of missions among unevangelUed nations to
be twenty ; stations , 100 ; out stations , 1,107 ;
places for stated preaching , 1,429 ; everago
congregations , 69.1&1 ; American laborers employed -
ployed , D75 ; native laborers , 2,870 ; total ,
3,441 ; number of churches , 421 ; church mem
bers , 40,187 ; addcMl during the year , 3,053.
The whole number under Instruction In the
educational department is GD.408. Native con
tributions of money amount to $89,145.
Dr. 0 , H. Daniels of Boston , secretary of
the home department , reported that forty-
four new missionaries have been sent to the
field during the year , of whom thirteen were
men , including three physicians and one
printer , eleven the wives of missionaries , and
twenty ulngle ladles , Including one physician.
Twenty-three missionaries homo on furlough
Jiavo returned to their fields.
The prudential committee , by authority
ot the last annual meeting , have adopted a
rule giving female delegates equal voice- and
vote with the men on questions touching their
own work.
The financial difficulties , Secretary Daniels
saya , are not wholly explained by the cry of
hard times. Thu gradual exhaustion of the
largo legacies on the one hand , and the nat
ural expansion ofnork on the other , have
not been met by sufilclently largo gifts from
Individuals and churches. It Is a problem
which can only bo solved by Increased num
ber of donors and donations. The board Is
confronted by tv.o necessities , either to re
trench the work or to secure from churches
and Individuals larger donations. He urges
a system of contributions In each church , and
securing a speedy engagement of gifts.
