VI. REPORTS NORTH CAGA Y AN VALLEY DISTRICT

BENITO TOVERA, Supe'rintendent

Bishop Lee and brethren of the Conference: To Him who has kindly and lovingly guided our activities, and

who has protected us from the snares and clutches of the enemy, and who has given us victory over trials and difficulties, we raise our sincere thanksgiving and praise. The Lord has been good to us this year. His mercyendureth forever.

At conference time several transfers were made. We had to go to Tuguegarao to take over the .work brother Altamero left behind. Brother !lan was sent to Aparri. He had been seriously ill before the last Annual Conference, and though he had not fully recovered, he answered God's call. My father has been transferred from Iloc\)s to Cagayan. His dream of coming to the Valley to spend the last days of his active ministry has been realized.

Early during the year, Dr. and Mrs. Lyons, devoted and loyal servants of the Lord, came to visit us. Though they stayed not more than 24 hours they were able to help us in making a plan for the building of the new parsonage at Tuguegarao. Negotiations were also made for the purchase of well located lots at Cabagan and Tumauini.

We spent some of our time this year engineering the building of parsonages and chapels. The biggest parsonage in the Cagayan Valley has been built at Tuguegarao, on the lot which Rev. and Mrs. Moe bought for 450 pesos. These good Samaritans gave toward the building 500 pesos. To finish it we need at least 300 pesos more. Smaller parsonages have also been built at Tuao and Bangan. Two chapels have been built at Tumauini Circuit and four chapels are being built at Gattaran, Paraddun N orie, Gonzaga and Balingit. Our chapel at Rizal has been rebuilt and our chapel in Afusing, has been fin! shed.

A special meeting with the workers was held at Tuguegarao during the first week of August. Its principal aim was inspirational. All of us were drawn closer to the Throne of Grace. We looked into the whole program of our work very carefully. We were very anxious to find out His will, that this divine will might be done in the execu­tion of the sacred task. Weare glad to report that from that mountain of transfiguration we went down to the valley with a greater desire to bring the wandering sheep into the fold. Our hearts yearned for the salvation of the lost. We longed to see each member of our constituency to live more like the Master. As an outcome of the meeting. revivals have been held in the different strategic places in the District. More than 200 people were converted. Our people have been revived and inspired. A deeper desire has been awakened in all our hearts to live according to His high and holy expectation.

Our Sunday School C01Wention was held at Alcala during the last week of November. Delegates from all our Sunday Schools came together and for 4 days they studied the be~t and up to date methods of inculcating religious truths. Different problems were discussed and solved. Possibilities for greater and more effective service were brought out very clearly. The glorious task ahead has been visualized. Mr. Palmer was at hand. He ably assisted us in solving the different vital problems of religious education. We are glad to report that

40

•

•

all the delegates went away from the Convention imbued with the tremendous importance of teaching the Word of God to all people.

The Epworth League institute for the two Districts was held at Ilagan. Under the leadership of brother Vergara as Dean and brother Altamero as General Manager, and with the help of Dr. and Mrs. Moore together with the members of the Faculty, the Institute was very successful. Our aim is to lead our young people to the foot of the cross, there and then to make their decision for their life work.

Our District Conference was held at Tuguegarao during the third week of February. Workers from every part of the District met together and for five days they reviewed the work of the past year. They were like the disciples of old who continued daily with one accord in the Temple praising and glorifying God and with gladness and singleness of· heart they did eat around a common table. Each circuit has contributed something for the entertainment Of the Conference. The spirit of real Christian fellowship has been manifested. Plans for the year have been carefully studied and made. Women's Day was celebrated during the Conference. Mii5s Erbst sat with the Superintendent during the Day. She conducted graciously and wisely the busir.€ss of the day. Miss Atkins ably helped her. Our co-workers returned back to their stations with new enthusiasm and zeal to work in His Vineyard. A deeper faith has been born in our souls in the ultimate triumnh of His Cause. Dr. Moore delivered stirring addresses illustrated- with beautifully colored pictures to the students and to the members of the Con­ference.

Our faithful deaconesses under the wise and tactful leadership of Miss Atkins have patiently taught our children the Word of God. Bible lessons specially adapted for the women have been prepared by Miss Atkins and sent out. These lessons have brought many a comfort to sorrowing hearts and have been the means of strengthening faith and trust in Almighty God. We are grateful for the splendid services of this zealous band of loyal workers.

Miss Erbst has been very busy going up and down the Valley, leaving a tract or a Bible portion here and there, advising, reproving and encouraging every soul whom she loves to lead to the Saviom.'. By her initiative big Pulpit Bibles were bought. She has been always ready and willing to give cement for flooring to any of the churches which have gravel and sand ready. She has given the best years of her life for the work in the Cagayan Valley. In recognition of the heroic services Miss Erbst has rendered, the District takes this occa­sion in presenting this simple cup to her. Though simple as it is. it conveys the high esteem we have for the work she has tried to do.

Our two Dormitories have been under the tactful supervision of pastor Aguda and Miss Daggao. We have received into the fellow~hip of the Church this year more Dormitory residents than any preVIOUS year. Our District Conference has made a solemn pledge to get the best young people ready for High School from every town .in the District to live with us in these homes. By doing this we shall be in touch with. the finest flower of the youth of our Valley.

Sickness has visit~d every parsonage this year. The pastors and their families have suffered very much. Support did not come as we had anticipated. But inspite of all these hard knocks these faithful soldiers of the cross have stood unmoved like the great pyramids of Egypt. They· have corne to know and experience that the evarlasting arms are underneath. Their undying love for Him

41

who has loved us, their devotion to duty, their loyalty and willingness to cooperate, their perseverance, their hope and faith can not be ex­celled. anywhere.

Mrs. Tovera and I have solemly pledged to the Lord that we shall continue to watch and pray, work and labor until we shall have witnessed in our District that it shall be filled with the know­ledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. To Him who has guided us thru the valley of the shadow of death. and to Him Who has brought us into the open field of His infinite mercy, we raise our Halelujahs.

ILOCOS DISTRICT SEVERINO CORDERO. Superintendent

We entered this year's work of the Conference with fear because of the expectatioJlJ of meeting many difficulties, but we met them with fervent prayers, and the God of peace calmed the tempest.

About the middle of the year, a flood of sorrow visited two of the Pastors who were left to mourn deeply the death of their beloved wives. One of those who died is the good and faithful wife of the Rev. Candido Zapata. The other is Mrs. Cordero with whom I shared thirty-eight years of my married life and who fellowshiped with me in my trials and tears in the work of the ministry. Mrs. Cor­dero had no talent for speaking in pUblic, although in the last Dis­trict Conference which she attended she presided over the Women's Conference; but her quiet and unsullied life gave her more power than much of my ppeaching. We were honored and cheered by the telegrams, letters and visits of condolence as well as the funeral ser­vices, so please allow me to express a heart-felt gratitude for the sweet fellowship you had with us in the time when we most needed a friendly or a brotherly cheer.

After the middle of the year, all the workers of the District, men and women, attended an Institute where we gathered strength for the Evangelistic meetings which were held in fifteen different places. Only one hundred eighty-nine were won; and though the number is small, we were happy in knowing that to Jesus even a drop of cold water given in His name is precious. Because of a desire to do more of the work that has been neglected, we have for­mulated a plan for the places that are yet without any congrega­tions.

Another activity of the year is the Institute for teachers in the D.V.B.S. under the direction of Miss Helen Wilk, and by the inspira­tion obtained. from the Institute fifty-nine willingly went to seven­teen daily vacation Bible schools and taught a total number of 669 children. One of the many good fruits of these schools was the winning of the parents of some of the children through the good instruction they were getting. Among many things I specially praise Miss Wilk for her work in training the youth for leadership in the future through the deaconesses.

The work in English among' the studpnts of t'hP. Dic:trict is well entrusted under the care of Miss Anna Carson. The District owes her a great deal. In the last Epworth League Institute in Vigan last December, one of the best things seen was· the response of a few young people to answer the missionary call frnm ree:'ions far and near. The provincial cabinet of the District Epworth League was organized and is ready to visit and help the local chapters.

42

The boarders of the two Dormitories under the care of Miss Sa­turnina Lara are well taken care of by her efficient administration and good influence. And as for her work as a stewardess in Vigan, she is a model in punctuality in obtaining the appropriation of the Church. Because of her specialty in this work we made her our teacher.

The Domestic Mission of the District, according to its treasurer, Mr. M. L. Gines, in our convention February 7, has paid every one depending on it for support. However we feel that what they are receiving is not enough to supply them with every need, so in the last convention we increased the appropriation 50%.

Through the twelve Pastors and fifteen Deaconesses and Bible Women and the different leaders of the District and congregations we managed the Ark of God safely as through a tempestuous sea. In spite of many things that hinder we kept the following activities in the District:

I. Societies: 1. Local Chapters of the Epworth League 12 2. Ladies Aid . .. .. .. .... .. .. ..... 9 3. Domestic Mission . . . .. ..... ..... 20

Lastly: This is cheering news. The suggestion of the Bishop that half of my salary should come from the District has been gladly and worthily approved. The District asked that the Superintendent should not take any pastoral charge, but that half of his salary should be apportioned am()ng the congregations in the District in ord'er that all his attention should ,be given to the District. Only a few more steps and the greatest. sweetest result of Missionary enternrise of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Philippines shall be attained the establis~m~nt of a. strong, self-supporting, self-propagRtin~ Church. ThIS IS our deSIre, the object of our prayer. May Christ be glorified in it.

PANGASINAN DISTRICT

B. O. PETERSON, Superintendent

Constructive measures taken at the District Conference a year ago, and the consecration meeting of the pastors immediately fol­lowing that Conference, were destined to bear splendid fruitage for the Kingdom during the year. Previous to and immediately fol­lowing Easter, revival meetings were held on many of the circuits.

Soon after Easter, under the direction of Miss Leila Dingle a number of Daily Vacation Bible Schools were held. Work of this nature can not be too highly commended.

At three different centers Bible Institutes were held in the fore part of the year and recently two others, all with good attendance and genuine interest. Beginnings have been made in applying the Extension idea to the exhorters' and local preachers' study courses. Question booklets on different subjects in the courses have been pre­pared by competent leaders. These guides to study are becoming a convenient means for intelligent home study under the direction of the pastors. Following the Extension metho~ question guides to study have been prepared on the Articles of Faith, Family Worship, Finances of the Local Church, and General Rules of the Church, in both the Ilocano and Pangasinan languages. Other courses are being prepared, and will be printed as soon as funds allow.

It has become an established practice for the Extension Bible Training School to have its intensive class work during the month of August. Thirteen pastors enrolled last August. We can not allow this Extension Bible Training School to lapse. It is the only method by which a large number of our pastors can secure a better pre­paration \for their work.

The Townsend Memorial Training School has had another suc­cessful year. We wish that every barrio congregation as well as the central churches, could have one of these women workers. The Townsend Memorial efficiently and economically prepares women for service under self-supporting conditions.

In several ways the most successful Epworth League Institute held in Pangasinan, was conducted on the Lingayen beach north of the High School. The heart touch of the Galilean meeting conducted from a fisherman's boat, can never be forgotten. Tarlac District came in force to this Institute. Measures are on foot for securing a permanent site.

In Junior and Epworth League and Sunday School our women workers have shouldered large responsibilities. The district worker and her Bible Women and Deaconesses have counted no task as insig­nificant. During the year, according to the quarterly Conference records they have given 1740 exhortations, 301 sermons, made 3301 visits, condu.cted 1171 prayer meetings, and led 87 people to Christ.

In the discussion of the work on Pangasinan District it would not be fair to leave out the records of our exhroters and local preach­ers who have given 9,108 exhortations, 2,780 sermons, made 5,153 visits, led 5,106 prayer meetings and won 535 converts. These figures d? not include the work done by the large proportion of our Panga. sman lay preachers who are stationed on circuits. . With the corning of the Rev. W. S. Palmer for the religious educa­

tIon needs of our work, there has been increased attention to numerous details whi~h ':,ontribute toward the success of the Sunday School. Co.mmendatIon IS due those congregations and leaders who have made chIldren's department annexes to their chapels and in other ways helped to secure better equipment and needed supplies.

44

On churches previously begun the outstanding work. of construc­tion during the year has been at San Nicolas. The All Ilocano Con­vention which met in San Nicolas expressed high testimony to the courageous enterprise begun by Rev. R. T. Calica and continued by Rev. Tomas Lara, assisted by Pedro Ramos and others of the com­munity.

The biggest new project is the chapel at Umingan toward which 1110 pesos of local funds have been expended. In this work the pastor, Rev. Tiburcio Marquez has secured cooperation in a remark­able way.

For general improvement through the leadership of Rev. Cipriano 1\ avarro and Miss Mildred Blakely, the Lingayen project occupies first place. New churches have been begun at Agno, San Carlos and Anda. Improvements have been made in Bolinao, Binabalian, San Roque, Bani, Mangatarem, Bimnaly, Calasiao, San Fabian, Labayug and San Quintin. Tayug, Asingan and San Nicolas have new benches. Electric lights have been installed at Villasis and several other places. San Nicolas, Carot and Tayug have new parsonages.

The action of the Conference last year which requested the set­ting aside of birthday gifts for the Retired Local Preachers' Fund was taken seriously by Pangasinan District. This is shown by pre­senting P94 which is P24 more than the whole amount given by the District for benevolences last year.

Domestic Missions is not properly a benevolence project as the money raised often returns to the place which gave it. The res­ponsibilities of secretary-treasurer of Domestic Mission is very exact­ing. Rev. Feliciano Amor has held this position on the District for two years and has transacted the business of his office in a satis-factory way. .

Early in the school year, Rev. Cipriano Navarro organized for the student body attending the Lingayen Student Church, the S.chool of Character Education. Through its agency a number of students were led to an active and vital Christian experience and church membership. A Junior Church has also been maintained througb the year in connection with the regular church services.

The coming of Miss Lettie Wadsworth to Pangasinan has been a distinct asset. In her position as a faculty member of the Town­send Memorial Training School and as Directress of the School of Character Education in the Lingayen Student Church she has rendered large service.

The charge that is some times made that dormitory work is only boarding house activity, can not be lodged against the Hugh 'Wilson Hall Junior Dormitory in Lingayen. Miss Isabel Garcia with limited eQuipment and an undesir3:ble location. is running an ideal dormitory. We can not commend too highly her influence and work for the students under her care and for her share in the beginnings of the dormitory in Bayambang.

An interesting work is being done by Miss Marcela Cansino in her kindergarten school in the basement of the Hugh Wilson Hall Junior Dormitory. Wpnders are being accomplished for those twenty five children and incidentally the homes represented are reached in a most wholesome way.

It has been a hard season on the farmer. The support raised for the pastors has been seriously affected by the general hard times. Nine of our Pangasinan preachers have lived at home and cared for their circuits as best they could. Seven others have had to supplement the focal support raised on their circuits, from ner­sonal resources. Hardly any secure sufficient support from their

45

circuits to merit being called self-supporting. With these conditions the average monthly support the past year has been but P12.85. Un­til the economic condition of the people has been raised to a higher standard there can not be expected a proper support of our pastors.

The morale of the working force has been good throughout the year. A. fine spirit of cooperation has permeated the whole district. There have been many splendid victories and few defeats. But for the sustaining grace of Jesus Christ in the life, many would have fallen by the wayside of d~spair.

TARLAC DISTRICT

L. T. TAMAYO, Superintendent

Dear Fellow Workers:-I give my thanks to the heavenly Father to whom we are in­

debted for goodness and who has given success. By means of the new division made this year, the 5 towns south of

Pangasinan Province which were included in Tarlac District were given back to Pangasinan District; The population of these towns is 50.065. with an extension of 123 SQuare miles and there are 688 church members.

There are 4 new Pastors who began Ministerial work this year. Brother Nicolas Agduma began his work at Camiling last March and after two months the pastoral house was erected.

Brother Nicolas Domingo of Caranglan was in the Government service for 8 years as a Municipal Chief of Police. but as he left the love of God in his heart and the great need in the work he left his position and embraced the poor life of a preacher.

Brother Esteban Guillermo of Macatbong began his work last July. He was a teacher in Public School for 5 years, married a Deaconess and after 2 years under the influence of his wife he felt the love of God in his heart and he left teaching and became a preacher.

After a rest of more than a year brother Hilario Tumamao be­gan to work in Victoria circuit last April. This circuit has now a few members because most of them went to Cagayan Valley and Isa­bela and the work was begun as in a newly opened place.

Brother Isabelo Pacquing from Pangasinan District is now work­ing in Tarlac for the first time this year and began his work last March at Rizal circuit. After a month he organized a Choir and the church bought an Organ costing P175.00 and hymns for the choir and this was made possible due to the ability of brother Pacquing in music~ During the Institute' last April there were 78 converted new members. The pastoral house and also the chapel were repaired within a short time by a diligent leader.

Bible Institutes; Daily Vacation Bible School and Lyceum.

Two Institutes of the women workers were held at Villasis and San Jose. The Daily Vacation Bible School was held in 8 places and there were 351 attendants. This work is under Miss Dingle the 'District Missionary. One general Institute was ll.eld at Rizal with an attendance of 98, and a Lyceum for the workers last August at San Jose, Nueva Ecija.

46

Conventions and Conferences The Conference of the w.orkers was held at Paniqui befor.e the

Campaign last March and also pentecostal service was· made for ~he arrangements of the program for Evangelization.

The convention of the Domestic Mission was held two times and once for the Woman's Aid Society at Guimba. The convention of the Sunday School Association had an attendance of 86 Delegates. The attendance of the visitors Mr. Teodoro Yangco, Rev. Willard S. Palmer and the two Professors, Mr. Constancio Padilla and Cele­donio Maglaya gave great help.

The District conference was held at Macatbong circuit with an attendance of 114 delegates; there were 4 members recommended on trial to the Annual co~erence; 1 Deaconess; 5 Bible women; 1 for the Seminary; Local preachers 3; 15 Exhorters and 2 pastors to be pensioned by the District to study in the high school.

The Construction

There were 4 pastoral houses erected and repaired and 3 chapels repaired with a total expenses of P2,163.00; 2 lots are donated by the brothers at barrio Talakutab North, and Comunal, Municipality of Cabanatuan costing P150.00 for the erection of a chapel.

Institutional Work There are 3 Deaconesses studying at the Harris Memorial School;

15 at the Mary Brown Townsend Memorial Bible School of which 3 of them will graduate this year; 1 pastor at the Theological Sem­inary, one pastor as candidate at Guimba Institute is being pen­sioned by the District. Mr. Eulogio Dizon the Director of the Insti­tute will answer for the expenses till he finishes the High School.

In the Dormitory at Tarlac under Miss Carmen Cuna.nan there are 18 boarders. There is a great need for its repair and enlarge­ment for it is one hindrance for the increase of boarders as it can only accommodate 20 persons.

The P1'ojects There is a desire to buy lots on the Plazas of the towns of Pa­

niqui, Camiling, Munoz, Victoria and Gerona; and this is the time that we can have the. privilege of buying lots in front of the plaza. San Jose circuit is planning to erect a big chapel and they are now securing money for the fund of P10,000.00.

The Cong·regations of Mindanao They have an appeal that they will not be connected with the

Christian Alliance and they are asking for a pastor who knows Spanish and who will reside at the Capital· of Cotabato. The reasons why they do not like to join the other churches are the following: The ceremony and rites differ from the Methodist specially in using the cross at the altar. No pastor is visiting in that place for there is only one Missionary man and a woman who lives at Zamboanga and who are not able to visit all the places where there are organ­ized Congregations. Out of the 8 Congregations in Mindanao 90% are Methodist and 65% came from Tarlac District.

Domestic Mission Society

At the meeting of the members of the Domestic Mission Society, the Society was able to help 3 new circuits. but the self-support de-

47

creased because some members left for other places and now there are again 28 families going to Cagayan and Mindanao.

The W01'k of Evangelization

The places where the Gospel was preached were increased and' enlarged and divided into 16 circuits under 14 pastors, 15 Bible Woman and De~conesses and 196 local preachers and Exhorters; there were 464 converted members and if compared with that of la~t year the incr~ase is 186; there were 101 baptized adults, 365 chIldren; 36 orgamzed Sunday Schools with membership of 3331' 10 Epworth Leagues with 219 members; 29 Junior Leagues with' 414 members. The church has 5352 members; self-support P3,370.00; General fund-Pl,155.00; for construction-P2,163.00; Grand total­P6,688.00.

An Enemy Became A Best Friend

In conclusion of this report, permit me to state my memory of thi~ place where are now together. August 13, 1898 was the date whIch we call the new life of the Philippines, for in this place were more than 800 killed in the battle between the Filipinos, Span­iards and Americans, after a great fight for 3 hours from 11 :00 A.M. till 2 :00 in the afternoon. Our brothers Rev. Felipe Marquez and Nicolas Fajardo know very well about this thing.

This place where the house of Dr. Lyons is erected, the Wil­son Hall and this Methodist Episcopal Church is where blood of the Martyrs was poured and has now become the Altar of prayer and sacrifice to God, and if we think of our souls it is worthy of remem­brance and can not be forgotten that thru the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour that the barren land became a city and the blood that was poured over this brought forth the true liberty.

As time passes by it shows to us the great work of God that lifts up the life of the people until they reach the highest steps where they will be all the same so that enemies will become true friends and brothers.

This place was the first whel'e I have seen the appearan.ce and heard of an American who said: "No seais tan valientes Bomos amig08-40 not be so harsh we are /,riends." Before, I counted the Americans as my greatest enemies but now they are my best friends, specially the Missionaries of God to whom we are indebted and not only myself but our land the Philippines.

CENTRAL DISTRICT

E. T. CRUZ, Superintendent

Never in my humble life did I think I would be placed in so responsible a position as superintendent of a district in our con­ference. I have only aspired to be a humble pastor of a church wherein I could exert my simple labor and adapt myself to a little congregation. But when the Lord called me to put my hand upon this task of supervising a district; like Iasiah of old, with trembling heart I said, "Lord here am I, send me, and let Thy will be done."

For several years Central District was led by great men of God who had given their consecrated lives to the ministry; lives which were dominated by love for humanity and with lives burning with the Spirit of God to save souls. I see their paths illumined with the bright faces of souls saved through their efforts as I travel over

48

the district. God be praised and ~lorified because of these con­secrated and devoted men who labored in this fertile field.

Soon after the close of the Annual' Conference, I planned to meet with the pastors and deaconesses of the district. We .had an encouraging start of fellowship in Bulacan· and Nueva Ecija. We decided to work hard for the evangeliza~iofi of the district and to reach a goal of not less than 500 new members during the year. We emphasized in all churches the great need for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We encouraged our members to increase the finan­cial support of the churches; to make all the churches realize the importance of the support of Domestic Missionary Societies for the help of the weaker churches and to open new work in the district. Our aim has been executed and we have seen the outcome of it.

DISTRICT STEWARDS: Two weeks after my appointment ',0

the district, I organized the District Stewards to make all the churches in the district responsible for half of my salary, begin­ning July of 1930. The Central District Stewards were then or­ganized on April, 1930. The representative stewards in that gather­ing discussed my support and instead of deciding to give me ;.ifty pesos a month, they have decided to give P75.00. This amount has been paid up monthly to the month of February, 1931 with P200.00 now in the District treasury. This success was due largely to the wise leadership of Brother Pedro Francisco, president of the Board.

UNITY OF THE DISTRICT: Previously there were two dif­ferent cabinets of the Mission Domestica and Sunday School Associa­tion in the District, but this year the District Convention of the Mis­sion Domesica and the District Conference voted for the unification of these two institutions, a cabinet for the Missionary Society and a district cabinet for the Sunday School Association were organized.

CONVENTIONS, LYCEUM AND INSTITUTE: Much of our time has been taken by the Sunday School and the Domestic Mis­sionary Society conventions-twice at Nueva Ecija and twice at Bulacan. A fifteen day lyceum for the pastors and. deaconesses was held at Atlag, Malolos, Bulacan. One week Epworth League institute at Baliwag, and six three-day local Sunday School institutes under the personal direction of the Regional Secretary, Rev. Benito Reyes, were conducted in the different churches in the district where three or four different S. S. official boards gathered for instructions. All of these activities have been well attended.

EPWORTH LEAGUE: Our young' people are taking active work in the churches. Most of them have interest in the expan­sion of the Kingdom of God. Our leaguers have gained 23 % in membership this year.

JUNIOR LEAGUE: Our deaconesses and Bible women in the district have served much during the year. They have given most remarkable service for the Master, by teaching- the children the way and life of Jesus. They cooperated well with the pastors in the district. Their commendable services have been strengthened because of the wise leadership of Miss Hazel Davis~ the one be­loved missionary woman in the district. Miss Davis' wise guidance, her cooperating spirit with the workers in the district and specially with me, is very much appreciated. . NEW TRANSLATION TAGALOG HYMNAL: Part of my time during the year was given to the completion and editing of. the

49

new translation of the Tagalog Hymnal with a total of 263 songs. Bro. Agaton Pascual has taken no little part in this particular work. What is left yet is the printing of the hymnal, the pUblication of which is long waited for by our people.

CHURCH BUILDINGS AND PARSONAGES: One thing that worried me much was the poor condition of our church buildings and parsonages. Our people in the district are poor. They love to see attractive church buildings wherein they can worship their Heavenly Father, but because of their poverty they are not able to fulfill their desires. However, there is also a little accomplishment along this line. Three new parsonages have been built, and several repairs were also pushett on. We have spent P4,713 for improve­ments. We are expecting to have more attractive church buildings and more decent parsonages next conference year.

DOMESTIC MISSIONARY SOCIETY: Our Domestic Mission­ary Society this year has showed no little progress. The local societies were reorganized and several have paid their duties. Last year the total collection of the District Domestic Missionary Society was P800, of which amount P720 came from the work money of the district, but this year our total collection was P1,092 and the whole amount came directly from the local societies and brethen. This success was due largely to the tireless effort of the D. M. S. Cabinet. Last District Conference a new cabinet of the District D. M. S. was organized and the newly elected officers with their zeal and devotion are cam­paigning now to raise the P4~500 goal for the year 1931. The mis­sionary spirit is beginning to shine among local societies in the dis­trict.

SELF-SPPORT: As soon as I had finished my first quarterly conferences in the district. my heart was over-burdened with the poor support of my fellow pastors. Since then, I tried to make the congregations realize th~ great responsibilities of supporting the Gospel Ministry. I have asked Dr. E. S. Lyons to help me encourage the churches to give systematically. Dr. Lyons gave two important lectures on systematic giving in our Lyceum, and one on the Church budget before our Domestic Missionary Society Convention and one on the importance of giving, in our District Conference; he also gave inspiring sermons in some of our churches. This cooperative work has helped towards our self-support. We report a total collection during the year of P16,944.00 which is Pl,276 more than last year, besides other benevolences.

DORMITORY WORK. The Wesley Hall was well managed by Brother C. M. Zuniga. The High School Ladies Dormitory was managed by Mrs. Josefa Diaz. These two deans are greatly loved by . the dormitorians. The dormitory has not been only a boarding place but also a dwelling place for the spiritual life of the boarders. Eight young people from these dormitories were led to Christ this year. Our dormitory work bears testimony of our desire to serve the student communities, thus its place iii the program of our work.

EVANGELISM. We gave our first consideration to the spirit of Evangelism, believing it is the thing most needed in the district. We ?elieved that if all the workers in the district could possess the passIon for souls, Central District would be evangelized in the near future. Holding to this idea, we divided the pastors and deaconesses of the . district into eight teams of evangelistic workers. Each of

50

these teams was headed by one of the pastors. Everyone reJOIces when his fellow worker succeeds, everyone prays for his or her co­workers. and the resu.1t of this godly labor was the conversion of 570 souls, a net gain of 561.

FIRST DISTRICT CONFERENCE. From January 15-18, 1931, our District Conference convened at Cabanatuan, N. E. It was a very inspiring conference and a wider vision for a greater service in the Kingdom of God was caught by everyone in the conference, especially by the district workers. Miss Hazel Davis who always is equal to her task has been very helpful. She was with us in sym­pathetic and loving cooperation, being always ready to help her co­workers to spread the good tidings of salvation.

We greatly appreciate the services and good messages given us by the Rev. M. de Armas, P. B. Cruz, W. S. Palmer, Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Lyons, Dr. S. W. Stagg. Dr. A. L. Ryan, Dr. R. Parish and the Hon. T. R. Yangco.

Mr. Yangco heard me speak about the work of evangelization in the district and because of his great interest deep in his heart to see more sinners come to Christ, and knowing that I would extend a more effective labor in the district by' having an access to an easier means of transportation, he gave me an automobile that cost ?1460. May the good Lord be praised for the unselfish work of this godly man.

In conclusion. we the humble servants of the Almighty God in the Central District lift up our hearts in His praise that He has made us co-workers in His Philippine vineyard. We thank Him that He has caused us to Labor for the salvation of our own people. We pray for His loving kindness and wise guidance to abide in us until we have accomplished something for His glory in this field.

SOUTH CAGA Y AN VALLEY DISTRICT

CmIAco INIS, Superintendent

It is with profound gratitude to our Heavenly Father that we give our second report for the work in the South Cagayan Valley District. Our district did not grow larger in area this year, but it is the largest in territory among all the districts. Although it is only about two years old it will be the largest some day in member­ship because of the many thousands that are coming in from other provinces every year.

OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. In the early part of the year, the workers met in Echague for the purpose of tabulating our year program for the work in the district, and in order to have fellowship together in prayer and in the "breaking of bread." It was during this meeting that we divided ourselves into several groups for Evan­gelistic Services. to be held in all the circuits. With much prayer and faith. our chief objective was to win one thousand souls to Christ this year. Our plans were carried on very effectively and to our surprise and delight. at the end of the year the reports of all the pastors gave the total of one thousand and five baptisms of new members. Our statistical reports give a total of 634 net gain in membership this year. -

At the beginning of the year with no money in sight, it did not seem possible for- us to do any building this year, but our people had such a mind to work. that we built two churches, four parsonages,

51

three children's departments and some minor improvements. The Igorot brethren at McDew under the leadership of their faithful pastor, Brother Pedro Villanueva, built their .chapel and parsonage.

PASTORAL SUPPORT. Pastoral support is not as good as expected. We have -less collection for this purpose this yeal" i:han we had last year. There have been good crops of corn and rice and we have enough supply of food, but very little cash. The value of things, such as rice. corn etc. that were given toward self-support became very low this year. One of the reasons for the decrease of self-support is that we discouraged our people from raising tobacco which is the chief source of revenue in the Cagayan Valley, and as a result, they did not have any money to give to the church. Our pastors have had some hard times. but all were brave to go on in their work. They are poor but they make many people rich through the Gospel.

In Echague where the district superintendent is, the pastor did away with the assistant pastor because he was needed more in another place. The work for him fell on Mrs. Inis' shoulders when the superintendent went to his district work. She took care of the services with the assisance of an exhorter, Brother Vicente Velasco.

DOMESTIC MISSION. Our Domestic Mission with Mrs. Inis as the treasurer. continued to help support our pastors in the mountains in spite of much difficulty in self-support. Our collection this year is P310. an increase over last year. There are more towns and barrios that are now ready to be opened for the gospel, if we could have the means to do so. "The harvest indeed is plenteous. but the laborers are few." Some of the members of our Church and some other Evangelical Churches that came from Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Ilocos. and Abra, "Are scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd." It is not that we do not like to minister unto them, we wish we could, but we do not have the necessary means to do it. These people. as you know, are new settlers and they are not yet in a position to be able to support their pastor, if there should be one sent to work among them. This is a challenge to this Con­ference. especially to the districts where they came from. Send us help, your Domestic Mission money, if you please, to help us take care of your own people, the fruits of your hard labors and devo­tion and in return, we will help you when we will be strong enough to stand on our feet. I hope, however, that when our plan to raise P650 yearly will be realized, that we shall be able to do more and reach all the points within our district.

OUR CO-WORKERS: We highly commend our Missionaries, Miss Erbst and Miss Atkins. Miss Erbst has been always active, driving her own car up and down the valley at any time, while Miss Atkins did more of her work in her own way: quietly and by correspondence. We regret very much to know that Miss Erbst will soon go on her well earned furlough, but we hope that she will re­turn. Weare very greatly blessed by the coming of Miss Bertha Odee to help us in the Cagayan Valley through her ability in nursing. We need her very much, as our district is far from any hospital or medical help. Further blessif!g is anticipated in the coming of the Rileys to us in the near future. We in the South Cagayan Valley wish the Bis~op to appoint them within our part of the Valley, in either Ilagan or Bayombong. Both of these cities are student centers as they are provincial capitals, and they are pleasant to live iri. I believe it is but right and just to divide the Missionary inlluences in these centers. There are now Missionaries in Tuguegarao. Furthermore

52

Missionary intluence in these places is better applied and appreciated because there is not much opposition. It is not like Tuguegarao, where the rich Roman Catholic bishop is residing and whlCh is i;he seat of Catholic schools.

Two of our pastors and one deaconess have stopped this year for some reasons, but I am glad to report to you this time, that during our District Conference, there were three strong young men of High School attainment who presented themselves for the Min­istry. We should! 'have a worth-while allowance to start these young preachers when they are called to work.

There have been only three deaconesses at work in our dis­trict, still two of them have been dormitory managers; Miss Map­pala for Bayombong Girls' Dormitory and Miss Concha Balawag who has been supported purely oy their deaconess association is for Ilagan Girls' Dormitory.

INSTITUTES, CONVENTIONS AND CONFERENCE: Long distance and costly travel make local Institutes more practicable than any attempt to get a large crowd together in our district. We had four of these intensive drives; classes were held at day time and revival services at night. More than one hundred persons were baptized and received into membership, while many others were re­consecrated.

The Sunday School Convention was held in Solano, N. V. and was attended by a large crowd of delegates from our 42 Sun­day Schools in the district. The coming of our new General Sec­'retary, Rev. Willard Palmer was a blessing to us all. Rev. T. E. Altamero acted as our Convention Evangelist and through his very highly toned spiritual sermons ninety persons were baptized and re­ceived into membership.

The Epworth League Institute was held in Hagan this time. Due to bad weather, high rivers and long costly travel, the Institute was not very large, however, I am sure that it was a blessing to the few that could be present. We are very grateful to the Moores for coming to help us in this Institute.

Our Second Session of the District Conference was held in San­tiago, Isabela. We had a fair crowd that attended. We were for­tunate to have Dr. Moore again to help us and the ladies from Lin­gayen Training School in the persons of Miss Blakely, Miss Lucas, Miss Casipit and Miss Hayes.

OUR OUTSTANDING NEEDS: We need special funds to open and maintain new work, and to build new n~ded chapels. There are ten of these. To accomplish the best possible work, we should have funds for district Institutes in which to give our inexperienced workers the training that they need for their work. We need at least four horses with the necessary equipment for our preachers who are working in large circuits in order that they can take care of their many far apart congregations. This list of our needs can be prolonged, but I am going to stop now and in closing, I would say that the greatest and most important thing that we need and must have in order to be able to do our service is the renewed faith and consecation.

Bishop, all our people are looking forward to your coming to visit us next month. We anticipate valuable help, inspiration, and blessings in yOUl;" coming. We are glad for the coming of Dr. and Mrs. Lyons and Thoburn last April, but if they will come again with you, Bishop. we have no objection.

Lastly, I will say that whatever worth-while that has been ac­complished in our district this year, it was through the unselfish

_ effort and devotion of our pastors, Missionaries, and deaconesses and it is freely offered for the uplift of humanity and the honor and glory of our Heavenly Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

PAMPANGA DISTRICT

ARCADIO DE OCERA, Superintendent

Beloved Bishop and Members: Before speaking for the district I represent, I wish, first, to give .my thanks to our tleavenly Father for the care and guidance which He has given us during the year.

RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE DI8.TRICT: In spite of &;he material progress which has prevailed since the American occupa­tion, the religions stamina of the natives is very indicative. This is true among the Catholics as well as the Protestants.

The Catholics have demonstrated this religious awakening through their faithful dis~harge of their church activities, especially in celebrating fiestas. Since the great Philippine Revolution of 1896, many of the barrios and some towns of our province have neglected to observe religious fiestas but they observed them strictly last year. It is true that monetary crisis was keenly felt. However, this did not discourage Catholic devotees from making pompous and expen­sive fiestas.

The same religious interest is shown in Protestant communities. In our church this religious enthusiasm has been manifested by the spiritual reform in the lives of members. Hence church activities have made considerable increase. This year our self-suport has an increase of more than one thousand pesos; the Domestic Missionary Society has an increase of more than two hundred pesos.

Special Features In Our District Gatherings 1. A Bible Institute was held in Guagua, by Brother Juan Ma­

caspac. Double blessings have been realized. there. Besides the religious uplift and spiritual awakening of the members, there was adopted an indigenous plan by which the Instituters converted their provisions of food to money for the erection of the new church.

2. Lyceum. The District Lyceum held at Fort Stotsenburg has proved to be uniquely blissful, because we were able as never before to approach the Bible in the light of interpretation, as reflected in the Abingdon Comme~tary. Every night marked a distinct evan­gelistic note for all the people in that mountain place. Besides the pastor, Rev. Lacsina, Dr. Parish, Rev. Davis, Dr. Ryan, Dr. Lyons and Chaplain Blakeney contributed to make the Lyceum a success.

3. Conventions and District Conference. A very successful Lay­men and Domestic Missionary Convention took place simultaneously at the foot of Mount Arayat. In the Domestic Missionary Conven­tion a resolution was made to get seven thousand people as mem­bers of the Society for the ensuing year. Since then, success of the project has been made evident ·in many circuits.

At the Epworth League Convention held at Pulungmasle, Gua­gua, crowds of eager young people came, as never before. This erowd of youngst~rs was mightily enthllsed by the burning speeches of Mr. Hugo GutIerrez, Attorney M. Santos, Mr. Carino, Mr. Pal­mer, and Dr. Panlasigui. Everyone of these gave a distinct con-

64

tribution that will remain long in the minds of the Pampangan youth.

The District Conference and Sunday School Convention which took place at the same time in Apalit in January is the last of these successful gatherings. Part support of the district superintendent was enthusiastically approved, and during the conference, some cir­cuits paid their pledges. The success of this plan was due to the convincing address of Dr. Lyons that was strengthened by th.e ins­piring speech of Mr. Hugo Gutie;rrez, one of our best laymen of the district. Mrs. Lyons~ Mr. Palmer and Hon. Teodoro Yangco came also and enlivened the occasion.

Material Achievement

(a) Building Projects. The Arayat Church, which for many years has been a wall-less thing, has now raised its walls through the initiative of the enterprising pastor, Rev. Leon Bungay, with the cooperation of the faithful flock of that community.

The Masantol chapel as referred to in the Observer, came about as if by magic. Ten days after three-weeks revival meetings, the chapel was built! Two hundred thirty pesos l not including personal labor, made possible the erection of this provisional building.

The first Methodist Church of Apalit is the next one to be re­newed. The old, barn-like chapel has given place to a commodious one, facing both streets. Rev. Esteban Garcia is the diligent pas­tor.

But the best, and by far the most wonderful church building in Pampanga, took place a month ago in the heart of the big town of Lubao, where a good lot was secured years ago. A church was built in this place sometime ago, but a cruel storm destroyed it. This year, however, by the Providence of God, a church of the type of the Tangos Temple is underway. It happened this way: A cer­tain newly converted brother by the name of Dionicio Macaspac, and a contractor by trade, one day looking for a site for his house, noticed our beautiful site. He learned that a Methodist church owned the place. He went to the Pastor in charge, who told him of the plan of the brethren but that they were unable to do it for lack of means. Thereupon this generous brother promised to supply all the needed lumber for the framework of the building. The members of the place awoke:. and raised P700 for the project.

A parsonage in Capas came about this year, by the members buying and remodeling a house at a cost of P80. Pastor Danan~ who initiated this plan, has a house there now.

In Mexico, the beautiful· two story "convent" of Rev. Songeo is now finished. The church installed electric lights inside the church.

(b) Church Lots. The church lot at Candaba. which measured 288 sq. m. has been increased by 588 sq. m. This property is valued at P950. Miss Alabado the tireless deaconess of the circuit has been the leader.

At Guagua another big lot has been bought this year opposite the usual site facing the main road. Its cost has been partly covered by the generous contributions of the members.

The Faithful Watchmen of the District. All the circuits have been faithfully taken care of, except one or two, by the servants of the Kingdom. This came about through the cooperation of revival teams that have been organized. As a result a distinct spiritual awakening on the part of our members has been manifest. Accession io church membership of over 400 soul has come about.

55

Children's Work. The results in this wOl·thy enterprise have not been as fruitful as they should be. One of our most serious needs is women workers, deaconesses or Bible women, ,because we do not have enough deaconesses. At present we have only six. What can these six do for the thousands of children we have in the district? The solution that can be offered is that every pastor should include in his program, the religious education of the children. He must be a real deaconess himself. Every pastor can do it if he wants to. Rev. Lacsina has proven it so. ,

Negrito Work. I found out that the true missionary work that challenges us today is that among the wild people of the Philip­pines. In this district there are about 500 Negritos living far apart who are receiving the attention of brave mountain missionaries, Rev. Sanchez, I. Panlilio. and Q. Ronquillo, now supported by Mr. Edward Foote. At a certain section next to the circuit of Missionary Isi­doro Panlilio there are six hundred people still awaiting the advent of some other missionary to bring them the glad news.

Dormitory and Student Center. In the middle of the year at the Boy's Dormitory, Rev. Roman Nacu and Rev. Tuazon shifted places due to necessary adjustments. I t was a change for the bet­ter. But the spiritual side of the work has been in full swing in both dormitories. Upwards of sixty people regularly attended the Sunday evening service at the Girls' dormitory.

Our Church Paper. "Ing Daclat Ning Catutuan" our verna­cular weekly, has been resuscitated. Over nine hundred sub­scribers, 70% of whom have paid their subscriptions. We cannot underestimate the moral and spiritual contribution of this vital weapon of our church.

A notable achievement on my part this year has been the graduation of my two children from the Seminary. Eve:t since these two began to study I have planned them both for the ministry.

I cannot close this extended report without mentioning a sad chapter in our district life. This has been the conflagration that razed to the ground sixty-two houses, most of which belonged to our faithful brethren in Bangcal, Guagua. And the saddest of all, the house of the old pastor in charge, Rev. Juan Macaspac, has been totally burned. Not a single property was saved. Clothing, books, furnishings, house, everything went to ashes. May I say in pass­ing that this aged pastor has served his Lord since 1903 and has been a member of this conference for a quarter of a century. He has trained three generations of preachers including his present superintenedent, and all of them are jn active service today. He was the major translator of the first Pampanga Bible. He has served seven circuits, spending a dozen years in the place where his Whole belongings perished in the flames. And now with trust and faith in the lovin~ kindness of his Lord, he desires to take his rest, with the full confidence that stronger hands he has prepared, will take the scepter. Because of this signal service of a veteran fellow worker, the preachers in Pampanga have decided to give him a watch. We know this to be but a simple expression of our love but a greater reward awaits in the life Beyond.

SUMMARIZED ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE DISTRICT IN FI~URES: 1 .. New Buildings and improvements, at a cost of P2,389. whIch has an Increase of P283 over the previous year.

2. General expenses to the amount of P4,1700.

56

3. Self-support rose from P7,150 in 1929 to P8,328 in 1930. This is an increase of P1.178 over last year.

4. Domestic Missions Society experienced an increase this year from P578 in 1929 to 1'834 in 1930.

5. Our new members number 517 souls. 6. And the best increase is the addition of two young capable

preachers.

MANILA DISTRICT

PEDRO B. CRUZ

Through the efficient leadership of Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Cotting­ham during their terms of service in the Manila District, the work was prepared for their successors. Although Mrs. Cruz and I real­ized that our feet were too small to fit in the big shoes which they left for us to wear, with boldness of heart and trust in the Lord,_ we assumed our new responsibility. Now that the first year of our endeavor is over we rendel' our report to this Conference.

The Sunday following the last Annual Conference, Santa Ana chapel was dedicated. Bishop Lee gave the message and dedicated the chapel. Mr. Yangco also spoke. Last month the Tama chapel in Dinalupihan circuit was happily dedicated. At this place our church owns a tract of land of about four hectares. This was bought by the church when the Roman Catholic authority ordered that we tear down our chapel in the town of Dinalupihan. As you know, the whole community of Dinalupihan and its suburbs are all properties of La Mitra. History tells us that when the Roman Catholic Church first came to the Philippines she brought nothing with her except the Spanish flag and the cross, but in the four hundred years of victorious dominion ever the Islands she becall)e a rich corporation in lands .. banks, buildings, etc, On the other hand, thirty years ago our missionaries came bringing the open Bible, rendering their ser­vices as true servants of the Lord, spending their money from across the sea. Herein lies the essential difference between Protestantism and Catholicism in the Philippines.

The other chapels soon ready for dedication are Taytay, a P10,000 chapel, and Tondo, a P40,000 temple. o rani has collected P1,000 cash for their new chapel. Central Church will shortly be erecting the P150,000 Cathedral of Methodism in the Philippines; the members are raising theh contribution of P25,000. Nilusungan has completed its new parsonage and the people are now planning to build a better chapel. Mr. Yangco promised to furnish the iron roof, cement and nails for this chapel. Paraiiaque. Cabangan, Ca­laguiman, San Atonio, Hulongduhat, Macate, G. Tuason and North Zambales are all making plans for better and bigger churches. Ma­labon South has just repaired and painted its parsonage. Meyca­wayan has three new pulpit chairs with the improvements of the altar and pulpit. Limay members have finished the ceiling and pul­pit of their chapel. Castillejos members have rebuilt their chapel which was blown down two . years ago. Iba members have completed their new parsonage and have begun repairing the old chapel to meet the need of the many students of the Provincial capital. Santa Rita, after sleeping for awhile, awakened and in three weeks re­paired their dilapidated chapel. San Narciso members have com­pleted ~ new parsonage and plan improving their chapel. Bagum-' bayan lias made needed improvement in their parsonage. Knox ·has

57

done some repair work on the parsonage and the church. They nee,d, however, not less than P5,000 to do real repairing of Knox church or it will soon be condemned by the governmnet. Tangos, whose movement in church activity has always been ahead, has completed an annex to the parsonage, built a new library for the young people, a new garage for the pastor's car, has a new Pl,OOO piano, and have beautified the new temple with a garden.

The religious education and sociai work for women and children under the leadership of Miss Hewson and Miss Black with their fine group of deaconesses can't be beat. Where there is a deaconess there are Junior Leagues and Girls' Clubs. Sunday Schools are bet­ter organized when there-is a deaconess.

The young people are enthusiastic in the District Epworth League organization comprising all the chapters in Manila churches, in the District Sunday School Association, in the Bataan Sunday School and Epworth League Associations and in the Zambales Coun­cil of Religious Education. Each organization has its program of activity and responsibility throughout the year.

Self-support and Mission Domestica' work goes forward in spite of months of pecuniary crisis and depression. Pastors and the District Superintendent decided to pull through together. In our District Conference reports last October in Taytay not one indi­cated a spirit of complaint. Everybody seemed happy. I know of no worker in the Manila District who intends to quit the ministry for financial reasons. On the other hand, we are determined to go on feeling that it is both a privilege and patriotism to serve the Lord through the Church at this time in the history of our country_ In the spirit. of humility, I say on behalf of this group of Christian men and women in the ~anila District, they are true heroes of the cross.

Through the support of the Mission Domestica three men were added to our force during the year.

From all reports in the District, I gathered the total amount of P22,331.00 for ministerial support, making an average of a little more than P55.00 a month for each of the 34 pastors including the District Superintendent. We are meager salaried men. Because I draw my salary from the churches, we have a mutual feeling that the District Superintendent belongs to each and every circuit, which I believe is a fine thing. Together we must work well to deserve the support of our people.

For our building improvements and other purposes~ P71,378.00 were raised during the year, making a total of all the monies raised P93,599.00. In the Convention of the District Mission Domestica held last October in Taytay. the Society voted to set aside P180.00 for the Retired Preachers Fund. Likewise the amount of P250.00 is set aside for the support of the District Superintendents for the coming year. Another item to be mentioned is a contribution of P5.00 from each circuit to the Josefa Abiertas Horne of Friendship. We are also sending this year a full time missionary to the Negritos in ZambalE's. The salary will be paid by special funds through the Mission D.omes-tica. .

A heavy responsibility in self-support is being imposed upon the churches, but through it they continue to learn to give better and they catch a higher vision of the work of the Kingdom. Zambales is moving toward self-support. For the first time OIongapo is now self-supporting and giving P5.00 a month to the District Mission Domestica. Other organized circuits in Zambales are improving their

58

budgets that they have. also the prjvilege of helping the unevangelized parts of the province.

During the year there were 558 adults baptized, and 522 children; 926 adults received into the church without baptism, making a total of 2006 souls. The old time appeal for evangelism is still effective' in Zambales. During our one week Institute in Iba, 100 new mem­bers were baptized, mostly High School students. In November Brother Tante began work in North Zambales. After two months he reported 2 organized Sunday Schools, 50 new members, and mem­bers are building a new chapel in Masinloc.

If any success has been attained in the Manila District this year, it has been due to the cooperation of missionaries, Filipino pastors, deaconesses, and lay~en.

Pastors Rojars and Santos as provincial missionaries for Zam­bales and Bataan respectively, have done their parts in caring for work assigned them. Pastors Agaton Pascual and de Armas con­tributed much help in the District work by supporting the District Board of Stewards whose able President is Brother C. B. Perez. Dr. E. S. Lyons has been our elder brother in giving us counsel and advice in many things. To anything that spells loyalty to the King­dom enterprise, he never fails to give his full and hearty support. Mr. Yangco has been our inspiring stewardship speaker and financial contributor in many of our special gatherings. He was with us in our dedication at Santa Ana, in our Sunday School parade at Polo, in our Church Days in Paraiiaque, Taytay, Calaguiman, Orani and in our special Stewardship Rally at Knox.

Due to illness of Mrs. Eddy we regret their unexpected return to America last September. On the other hand, we rejoiced over the return of the Staggs and the arrival of our new missionaries, Brother and Mrs. Thomas and Reverend and Mrs. Palmer. On Christmas we were privileged to welcome our beloved Bishop and Mrs. Lee and their companions. We shall not forget their happy smiles with Christmas greetings and the encouraging message of the Bishop.

I must mention the late Reverend Carlos Maliksi of Olongapo. After two years illness and while at his post of responsibility and duty, he was translated July 14, 1930. At his funeral, despite rain and storm, his brethren in the faith and hundreds of friends at­tended. Some say it was one of the biggest funerals ever seen in OIongapo, a just tribute to this loyal and faithful brother. He is survived by a wife, six children and a father and mother.

The reports of the various institutions· of the District will be given by their respective heads who are directly responsible for them: Miss Evans for the Harris Memorial Training School; Dr. Parish for the Mary J. Johnston Hospital; Miss Deam for the H ugh Wilson Dormitory; Mrs. L. Padilla for the Rader Hall ; Dr. Ryan for the Union Theological Seminary; and Dr. Lyons for the Methodist Publishing House.

REPORT TO THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS ANNUAL CON­FERENCE OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY

OF THE BOARD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

March, 1931 In accord with the recommendation made two years ago' by Dr.

Wade C. Barclay, the Finance Committee of this Conference a 37ear ago made it possible for your secretary to come to this field. A year

59

ago now Mrs. Palmer and I were gratified to receive a cable of greet­ing sent by your Board of Religious' Education. In the last of May we were happy to arrive on these shores and to begin our work.

Your secretary has visited local churches and various conventions, . conferences and lyceums in each of the eight districts of our con­ference. We have been as far west as the coast of Zambales, as far north as Laoag. Ilocos Norte on the west coast, and Alcala. Cagayan. on the eastern side of the Island. While our brief visits in the sev­eral districts have enabled us to get acquainted with our whole Me­thodist field, we are hopeful that during the coming year we may be enabled to have a deeper and more intimate contact with the churches in each of the districts, which will be, we hope, to our mutual benefit.

We have this past year prepared and distributed in all of the districts programs of worship and study for the Children's ~epart­ment of the Church. In our visitations we have stressed the need for separate services of worship and study for children, and. to make this possible, the addition to the church building of a children's de­partment room. In several instances, as already noted in the re­ports of the district. superintendents, children's department rooms have this year been added to the original building. In our opinion the conference should not in the future permit any chapel larger than three by five meters to be built with only one room. The re­ligious training of children in our churches should come first rather than last. Certain materials for the aid of children's teachers have been prepared by several of our women missionaries and will soon be printed in booklet form. Recognizing the teaching value and the religious influence of the best religious pictures we have recently ordered a large supply of such religious pictures, 7x 9 inches in size. With each picture we will include a specially prepared service of worship based upon the theme of the picture. These pictures will be obtainable by the first of May. During the last four months there has been sent free to each woman worker and to several of the pastors, new programs for meetings of parents. These programs are perhaps the best of any materials that have been prepared in the Philippines. Such lessons for parents help to meet a strongly felt need. They should be used in every church during the coming year. They will be available from the Philippine Council of Reli­gious Education, at three centavos each.

A year ago the Conference failed to appoint a Director of Young People's Work. Mr. 0: L. Davis, the chairman of this department of our work has, however. given direction to it. Mr. Eusebio Ma­nuel helped for a short time. Four new study courses were prepared to be used at the Institutes. Four Institutes were held during the Christmas holidays, at Sibul Springs, at Lingayen, at Vigan, and at Dagan, Isabela. Two of the Institutes report a smaller attend­ance than the year before; the other two report an enlarged attend­'ance. While certain difficulties were experienced by our Institutes this year, reports have come to us of the good accomplished in young Jives by each of these Institutes.

More recently an experimental Christian Quest Conference of Young People Wa~ held at Montalban, Rizal. for the Manila Dis­trict. This was a two-day discussion conference ~participated in by the delegates.of eight Epworth Leagues and five Christian En­deavors. At this conference there were no lectures and no study of prepared textbooks. There were, however ~ several brief periods of i:¢ormal worship, and there was warm and thoughtful discussion

60

of seven problems chosen by the young people themselves as being significant problems confronting them in their attempts to live -che Christian life. In each of the discussion groups one older.· person was asked to act as a counsellor, but one of the young people was in each case appointed or elected chairman of the group.

Three definite proposals relative to our Young People's Work require the attention of this Annual Conference. The proposals follow.

First, at a meeting of the Young People's Committee of this Board, on last July first, approval was given to the principle of the proposal made by O. L. Davis for the organization of a nation-wide Young People's Movement functioning under a comprehensive and cooperative program. Such organization would include the present Epworth League and Christian Endeavor Movements and would function with one unified program. This proposal of our Methodist Young People's Committee was passed upon favorably by the Youth Convention, which met during the Thanksgiving holidays, and was referred to the National Christian Council and to the several interested church bodies. The Christian Endeavor Union, at a later meeting, approved the proposal.

Also demanding our attention are the two proposals made origin­ally by a discussion group of Methodist young people meeting at Montalban with S. W. Stagg as counsellor, and adopted by the dele­gates of· the recent Montalban Conference. These proposals are: "The calling by the National Christian Council of an annual All­Tagalog Convention of the several evangelical denominations, to function in this part of the island as does the AII-Ilocano Conven­tion in the north;" secondly, "The union of the Epworth Leagues and Christian Endeavor Societies in the Manila district."

Statistics have shown that more than half of the children in the Sunday Schools of the Philpipines are lost to the church during their adolescent years. Weare doing nothing for boys and girls of this difficult age. We must organize wherever possible separate classes for those of intermediate and high school age. The Methodist Board and the Philippine Council must prepare lessons for this age-group. There must also be started in our churches week-day activities and projects for those boys and girls. We need Ghurch Boys' Clubs and Church Girls' Clubs. Within our Board we now have a sub-committee to develop such work for boys and girls. We are hoping to be of service to you in this respect.

By action of our Administrative Committee we are making available to all church workers receiving conference appointments our library which now numbers two hundred books and to which additions are made from time to time. In order to borrow books it will be necessary only to make an original deposit of one peso as a guarantee of the books being returned, the peso being return­able to you whenever it may be requested. Books may be borrowed for a period of one month. The Board will pay the cost of send­ing you the book, while you will pay the return postage. Be a charter member of this Religious Book Club of the Philippines.

As we plan our program and activities for a new yeal: We shall be grateful for the suggestions which have already been made and for additional suggestions which you may have for our cooperation and enlarged service to each church. Ours is not a one or two ner­son job but rather a great task requiring the mutual service of us all in training child,ren, youth and adults for Christian living and Christian service.

RESOLUTION AS TO SQUATTERS ON CHURCH PROPERTY

Whereas it appears that more than 20 of our church properties are occupied for residential and business purposes by persons who are neither pastors nor persons employed by the respective churches and,

Whereas properties that are not wholly used for religious pur­poses are subject to taxation and,

Whereas such occupancy under the law of the Philippines will finally give title to the persons so occupying,

It is hereby ordered that the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Philippine Islands take such steps as are necessary to recover possession of each and every property so occupied. It is further ordered that no further occupation of church property shall be permitted without first being recommended by the Conference trustees and upon express authority from the Annual Conference of our church.

REPORT OF RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE

We bring to you for your adoption the following r~solutions: To the Pastor and congregation of the Central Students Church,

we express our deep appreciation of the use of the Central Stu­dents Church for the Conference sessions, and to Bishop and Mrs. Lee for furnishing the members of the Conference the refreshments at recess time.

We regret the home going of the Rev. Paul Eddy and family, due to the illness of Mrs. Eddy. They came well prepared and gave promise of splendid service among young people. Their stay of a few short months won them many friends.

It is with much pleasure we record the return from furlough to this field, of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel Stagg and of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Moore and of their families .. all of whom have endeared themselves to both the pastors of our Conference and the members of our churches.

Among the new missionaries to this field is Rev. Willard Pal­mer and wife. The coming of Brother Palmer for the depart­ment of Religious Education should mean much for that branch of service. We are heartily in accord with the decision of the Cooperating Committee and of our Bishop in setting aside Brother Palmer for full time service in this important department.

We are grateful for the coming of Miss Virginia Hayes and Miss Marion Walker for work under the Women's Foreign Mis­sionary Society in the Philippine Islands. Because of the large number of representatives of the society in this field who will shortly take their furloughs, we believe there should be several others sent out to fill their places.

It is with much regret we record the prospective departure for furlouJ!'h of Rev. O. L. Davis and wife, Miss Erbst, Miss Grennan, Miss Wilk, Miss Black, Miss Carson, Miss Deam,' and Miss Davis. It is not easy to see how the various departm.ents represented by these faithful workers shall be properly cared for in their absence, but as their well earned furloughs are due, we wish these departing missionaries a pleasant and pr:>1itable vacation and a prompt return to this field.

62

We truly reJOIce in having with us Bishop and Mrs. Lee, after an extended trip to the United States. For this we are most grateful. We acknowledge our appreciation of the special efforts of Bishop Le~ before . the Board of Foreign Missions which saved our appropria­tion of 1931 from a reduction. The presence and work of Bishop and Mrs. Lee in our field is always an inspiration and help to the several departments of our church. Their breadth of vision, "cheir kindly spirit and vigorous work for the extension of the Christian cause among the pastors and churches can not be over estimated. We are especially grateful for the statesman like future program which the Bishop formulated and presented to the home Board on behalf of our Filipino Methodism. We sincerely thank our Heavenly Father for the fine service which these beloved leaders are rendering the church among the Filipinos, and we sincerely hope that they will continue to serve our church in the Philippines for many years to come.

Be it further resolved that the interesting reports, vision of the many great opportunities of our church and the fine spiritual op­tomism have combined to make this one of the best Conferences we have yet -had in the Islands.

E. S. Lyons. for the Committee.

AS TO BAPTISM

Since there is much misunderstanding as to the nature of Bap­tism and Church membership in our church,

Resolved that we again call the attention of the pastors and members to the provisions of the Discipline in relation to these sub­jects, and recommend that baptism should not be administered to children above seven years of age without first instructing the ap­plicant regarding its nature and that of church membership. Where such children are under seven years, then the instruction should be first given to the legal guardians of the applicant.

PUBLISHING MARRIAGE BANNS

Whereas there is confusion and doubt in the minds of some as to the rule and practice of Methodist Episcopal church for publishing the Marriage Banns, moved by E. S. Lyons and seconded by

It be and hereby is ordered that no minister or pastor in the Methodist Episcopal Church shall perform any marriage ceremony until the Banns of such ceremony shal1 first have been published by being 'Posted for a full period of ten consecutive days on the bulletin board of the church where such ceremony is to be performed. mony is to be performed for a full period of ten consecutive days. Provided that such publication shall not be necessary where the banns have already been published in accordance with law.

THE DOMESTIC MISSION BOARD

Your Committee on the Domestic Missions work is hereby sub­mitting for your consideration the following recommendations:

1. We recommend that the Constitution of the Domestic Mis­sionary Society of the Philippine Islands Annual Conference of the

63

Methodist Episcopal C!lurch be incorporated in the Conference Journal this year.

2. We also recommend that the Tagalog local constitution of the Domestic Missionary Society be translated into English and be incorporated as such in the Journal of this Annual Conference.

3 .. We request the Publishing Committee of this Conference to publish extra copies of the above mentioned constitutions to be dis­tributed to all the districts of the conference.

4. We hereby ask the Bishop to appoint a Corresponding Sec­retary as provided in the Constitution of the Domestic Mission Board.

5. We recommend that a uniform plan be adopted throughout the Conference using the three forms of Christian Stewardship pledges as prepared by the Manila District Missionary Society.

6. (a) We also recommend that each local Domestic Mission­ary Society all over the Area. be asked to set aside 2% of what it will receive during the year and enter the said amount into the Comerence Treasury for the expansion of the real missionary work in the Philippines.

(b) That the District Superintendents are requested to collect all the above mentioned amount from their districts which amount shall be turned into the Conference TTeasurer at the first day of the Annual Conference.

(c) That the said amount received by the Treasurer shall not be used for any other work except for missionary purposes of the Domestic Missionary Society of the Philippine Islands Annual Con­ference.

E. T. Cruz For the Committee.

REPORT OF WESLEY FOUNDATION There are eight provincial dormitories directly under the Wes­

ley Foundation. There are six others being directed by the Woman's Society. First among them is Wilson Hall, Manila.

In each of five provincial centers in the Methodist area there are two dormitories; one for boys and one for girls. In each of four others there is a girls' dormitory. The girls' dormitory at Linga­yen is managed by Miss Isabela Garcia, the one at Tarlac by Miss Carmen Cunanan, the one at Cabanatuan by Mrs. Josefa Diaz, the one at Bayambang, Pangasinan by Mrs. Sixta Dizon. There is one at . Vigan under Miss Saturnina Lara. Another at Bayombong under Miss Florentina Mapala. A boys' dormitory at Cabanatuan is managed by Clemente Zuniga, while the one at Tuguegarao is un­der Pedro Aguda. Vigan Boy's Dormitory under Miss Lara and Rader Hall, Manila, managed by Mrs. Padilla.

Words cannot express our appreciation of the kind services and self sacrificing efforts which each of these managers are called upon to give; first because of the inadequate buildings and equipment for carrying on their work. Dormitory management calls for a high type of character, much patience, and claims constant attention in order to lift these institutions above mere boarding houses and make them pay their way with so small an attendance as obtained, because of limited space.

In all fourteen of these institutions many of the resident stu­dents regularly attend a religious service, held either in the' dor­mitory or in the church building, and in all of them daily religious

A4

devotions are conducted for those who reside in the dormitory. In some dormitories voluntary Bible classes are conducted for students, and a very considerable number of these dormitory students have joined the Church and some have taken up actIve religious work among their fellows.

An fourteen institutions are going concerns except the one at Bayambang, Pangasinan, and this one is able to make all its expenses except the monthly rental. There are but nine irirls residing in the dormitory. The Provincial Normal School is located in Bayambang and has a total attendance of 000, but for some reason the i:esidents and has a total attendance of 600, but for some reason the number of' residents has not yet increased sufficiently to enable 'che management to pay the expenses of the institution.

In October it was also necessahy to change the management at Bayambang and we now have Mrs. Sixta Dizon as manager. Mrs. Dizon is a graduate Deaconess, trained kindergartner, and a musician and an all-round experienced worker. We believe that in the l1ew year. with some encouragement, she will be able to carry forward the work of the dormitory with success.

The San Fernando Boys' Dormitory also required a change of management. The attendance had dropped to sixteen. Reverend Prudencio Tuazon was then appointed manager and with the help of his good wife, the attendance has since been increased to twenty­seven. It is believed that under Brother Tuazon's management the San Fernando Dormitory will more than pay expenses.

Few appreciate the value of these dormitorie's or the splendid devotion and sacrifice shown by those in charge--yet for lasting good their va,lue cannot be over estimated.

The Girls' Dormitories in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija; Lingayen and Bayambang in Pangasinan; in Bayombong, Vizcaya; and the one at Tarlac, are being carried on in small and inadequate .build­ings while the latter one is in much need of extensive repairs, includ­ing a new roof. The repairs on this building can not safely be delayed until after another rainy season.

The Girls' Dormitories at Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija; at Bayam­bang and Lingayen in Pangasinan, are required to pay execessive rentals so that there is little hope of our making enough for exten­sion work or an adequate program among their students. In two of these centers we have well located sites but as yet no buildings.

New dormitory buildings for girls are greatly needed in each of the five places mentioned, and one other at Balanga, Bataan where the Municipality has offered a central site on a lease for 40 years at an annual rental of P20.00.

New boys' dormitories are needed at Bayombong, Vizcaya; Tar­lac, Tarlac; Lingayen and Bayambang, Pangasinan; and at Malo­los, Bulacan; in each of which localities we already have suitable sites on which to build. The committee recommends the opening of a girls' dormitory at Balanga and a boys' dormitory at Malolos if arrangements can be completed by June 1st.

It is not proposed to build large and costly buildings for these purposes, but a building of two stories' having a cement ground floor, an iron roof, furnishing chapel and recreational rooms on the first floor and sleeping quarters on the second. Such a building should not cost more than ten or twelve thousand pesos, including the site where one has not already been purchased.

It is found that the management of these institutions can be safely intrusted to older men and women who have some business ex­-perience and their SUP-POl·t can be secured from the fees collected. They ca~ be made wholly successful through the further aid of ad-

'65

visers who have some authority in financial affairs, and who may .coordinate their activities in financial and religious matters.

It is recommended that a committee on dormitory plans be appointed to take up the matter for both boys and girls dormitories and to make a study of the needs of the field so as to bring in re­commenaations as to a suitable style of building for such work; .and also to recommend where other dormitories should be opened to the best advantage of our cause.

A report of the spiritual activities in connection with the Wes­ley Foundation work, will be presented by the Director of that de­'Partment Dr. Samuel Stagg.

While some of our dormitories are not what they should be in all respects, it is our best judgment that the service rendered through the dormitories is to be counted among the strongest and best in the program of the church.

E. S. Lyons, for the Committee.

THE PHILIPPINE OBSERVER

ORVILLE L. DAVIS, Edito'J"

It was with considerable fear and trembling that I accepted the editorship of the Philippine Observer three years ago. My pre­decessor, Samuel W. Stagg. was a more experienced journalist; but I am grateful for the tremendous opportunity this work has af­forded me.

The Philippine Observer has followed the policy of continuous Christianization of Christianity through moral and social reform. It has also reached out and, through the influence of the Observer Family, has brought heat and light into the spiritually dark and cold places. A glimpse at the titles over the past three years reveals the variety of interests in the minds of the contrib~tors 'who have rendered invaluable service without remuneration.

We have thought constantly of the thousands of students and other intelligent readers who are interested in the higher way of living. We have sought uncompromisingly to urge and work for the equality of opportunity for all truth seekers. While taking no partisan or sectarian stand in politics and religion, we have not hesitated to ally ourselves with the forces of righteousness. We have pleaded f!Jr the exercise of tolerance in religion but have urged constantly that every person live up to the ideal exemplified in the personality and life of Jesus Christ. In other words, we have to the best of our ability, stood uncompromisingly for every legi­timate agency that is working at the task of ushering in an era of justice, peace, good-will and righteousness to establish a world-wide brotherhood.

One of the established departments of the Observer has been the suggestions for devotional meetings of our young peoples' socie­ties. During the past year, Mrs. Davis, who has edited this sec­tion, has secured. the cooperation of representatives both Filipino and American, from the many groups. The editor for the past five years has been the chairman of the topics committee of the Philip­pine Christian Youth Movement.

About· two years ago we started the monthly social page. At first this was ably edited by Mrs. A. L. Beckendorf. For the past year Miss Gladys H. Black has been giving very helpful sugges­tions through the monhtly program and has done much to develop 1J. wholesome recreational program among the young peoples' socie­ties.

66

From time to time, special issues have been published for :re­ligious education, the American Bible Society, the Philippine Chris­tian Youth Movement, etc. In each case the additional expense of the issue has been borne by the special. parties concerned.

The problem of circulation and business management has not been easy, though it has been a source of great joy to have nothing but the most cordial cooperation with our fellow-workers. They have shown an increasing and participating interest. Some pastors and deaconesses have worked faithfully to secure subscribers and some of them have added materially to their personal and church equipment. Young peoples' societies have rendered signal service, especially during this past year. Special mention should be made of the work done by the Central Church Epworth League who, through the able leadership of Mr. Pedro Melendez, secured over three hundred and fifty subscriptions in a three-weeks campaign. The young people of Tangos Temple secured ninety-four subscrip­tions, sending four to the Culion Leper Colony, some to the Gen­eral Hospital, the University of the Philippines, Welfareville, some high and intermediate schools. The Observer prize plans have :mc­ceeded as a stimulus for workers to get free tuition or other desir­able prizes.

The Observer has been non-sectarian in spirit. During the past year we were very happy to include the evangelical Christian churches of the Western Visayas as part of our family, because they voted to have the Observer as their official English-speaking paper for their young people.

The Observer has demonstrated the tremendous value of and necessity for Christian literature as a vital part of our evangeliza­tion program. One student recently stated that for months it was only with difficulty that he eould get at his copies because others almost wore them out from reading and handling. The challenge of the young people for a great Christian youth movement is the challenge of the Philippine Observer!

REPORT OF THE MABUTING BALITA

FRANCIS(x) GALVEZ, Editor

"Ang Mabuting Balita" had a great conference year. It did its best to be a prophetic voice of God at this modern age in the Philippines. It championed to a certain extent the general program and policies of our church as expressed by our Bishop in this con­ference. It ttied to meet the needs of our people and challenged the churches to keep pace with the national progress.

It is very inspiring to note during the year the spirit of coopera­tion and loyalty of the Tagalog Christian workers in supporting this paper. We received a number of letters from them expressing their great desire to do their best in promoting the cause of the "Mabuting Balita." They also expressed their appreciation for the quality of contents, for the beauty of appearance, and for its burn­ing desire to be of real service to the churches and to the general readers as well. They have shown their loyalty by securing sub­scriptions and by contributing their articles which featured the various issues of this religious periodical.

We want to express our sincere appreciation to the contributing editors in giving their fine contributions which made the paper very much worthwhile. We especially thank brother Simon D. Reyes, the editor of the Home Department; Brother Bonifacio Angeles, Young

67

PeOples~ Editor; to Brother Benjamin Guansing, our Associate Editor; and to Brother Clemente Zuniga: the editor from Cabana­tuan, Nueva Ecija; for their untiring cooperation in realizing the objective of the paper.

The number of subscriptions has increased in spite of the fact that there are now two new Evangelical Papers entitled "Haw ng Pagkakaisa" published by the United Evangelical Church, and "Ang Pakakak" published by Cristianos Filipinos. Many of the members of these churches were. former subscribers to our paper. But due to the existence of their own paper they seem to find it difficult to subscribe to two church periodicals. However, when I visited the church in Lucena, Tayabas, I was informed that a number of the people there prefer to get "Ang Mabuting Balita." In fact when I appealed for subscriptions about two thirds of the adults present ~t the church gladly subscribed on the spot.

During the year the editor has been privileged to present the cause of the paper to the preachers meetings of Manila and Central districts and also to various conventions and district conferences. He was inspired by the expI'ession of the willingness of the ministers and laymen of our Tagalog churches to make this paper as widely circulated as possible. They realize as well as we do that we can­not have intelligent and progressive members in the churches unless they have good reading materials. This is one effective means in educating our people.

During the last conference year in the editorial columns and in the feature articles, we stressed the importance of better churches that are ~autiful and dignified, located at strategic centers. We also emphasized the need of making them the monuments to the de­votion and faith of the people in God by building them with their

. ~()wn money. We issued special numbers emphasizing certain phases of our work such as better worship, and so forth.

LEGAL REPORT

In legal matters we have had our busiest year. 1. We have secured registered titles for Mary Johnston Hos­

pital, the San Fernando Girls' Dormitory, the Bayombong Girls' Dormitory, the Knox Church, the Lope de Vega Mission House, and the Knox Community House. We have secured registered titles for Nicholson Seminary lot, Isaac Peral House, the Boys Dormitory, and for· the American Bible Association in Manila; also for the Ilagan Dormitory lot. .

2. Claims were filed and proofs submitted for the church lot at Orion, Bataan Province; For San Isidro and Baliug lots in Bula­can Province; For Bagabag and Echague lots in South Cagayan District; For Bugallon, Alaminos. and Pozorrubio lots in Panga­sinan and For Paraiiaque Church lot in Rizal Province.

3. Claims were also filed for a part of the church lot in Iba, Zambales; for one in Lubao, Pampanga; one in Villasis, Panga­sinan; and for one in Paraiiaque. Rizal Province. ,

Certificates of registered titles were received for the church lots at Apalit, Mexico, Magalang in Pampanga Province and for Alaminos and Poz.orrubio in Pangasinan Province and for the lot at Santa Ana in Manila. .

4. Common deeds were secured for Taal. Bocaui. Guiginto, and Pandi in Bulacan Province; for Solana, Piiia Blanca in Cagayan Province; for Cauayan, Cabagan, Tumauini, and Santiago in Isa-

Sa

bela Province; for one lot in a barrio of Solano in Vizcaya Prov­ince and for Alcala and U mingan in Pangasinan Province.

5. We have also secured the lease for the G. Tuason lot in Manila and for a new site in Quingua in Bulacan Province.

6. Attention has been given to surveys under way for sites in Villasis, Evangelista, Rosales, Calasiao, Tugi of Baiu and San Car­los in Pangasinan. A survey is pending in Aparri in Cagayan Province, and one in Bagabag in Vizcaya Province. You are ur­gently requested to give notice as soon as any Cadastral survey is begun in your province that I may make prompt claims for our property, should we have property in such Cadastral.

7. Application has been made for a good site in the Stotsen­burg Military Reservation and for the purchase of the church lot in Julen Dujat, Malabon in Rizal Province.

8. Motions to the court are pending in the case of Sibul Springs lot, and for the segregation of our church lot from the municipal property in Limay, Bataan. *'

9. Much time has been given to the sale of the San Juan tract with the result that the deed of sale and mortgage for the unpaid balance was signed on December 1st 1930, by the J. K. Pickering Company of Manila.

10. Your attention is especially called to the fact that there are many "squatters" now living on church property; some of them having occupied the property without consent, and to the real de­triment of the work. Investigation will show at least twenty families are now occupying our church lots. It should be well understood that the Annual Conference is the only body that can give permis­sion to anyone for the use of the church property of the Conference. This present condition will surely bring trouble and confusion both to the pastors and the Church unless prompt steps are taken to dis­possess those who are thus occupying the different church properties.

11. Attention has been given to finally winding up the estate of Dr. Annie Norton from which I was able to receive and distribute to Mary Johnston Hospital. Nicholson Seminary, and Mary Chiles Hospital the sum of P2.100, they being the residuary legate named in ~ the Norton will. This last distribution makes a total of about P9,700 given to each of three named legatees.

12. In relation to the Parkes estate, I have settled with two of the heirs named by Miss Parkes, and as I was about to close with the third legatee in accordance with the desire expressed in the state­ment left by her, I discovered there were other heirs not mentioned in her statement. After diligent correspondence trying without ~ny success to locate these other heh's, I have decided the safe thing to do is to probate the will and place the responsibility of what should be done on the Court of First Instance, though this course will undoubtedly mean there can be no funds for further distribu­tion for some time to come. Moreover as the statement left by Miss Parkes was not a legal will. the balance of the estate may finally f!0 to the other heirs instead of to any memorial for her in the Philippines.

13. As I have now no funds for travel and for court expenses in connection with the registration of our church property, urgent request is made of the pastors and district superintendents to give prompt and careful cooperation in any cases in their respective dis­tricts that we may be able to finish this work of rel?,"istration in the near future. and thus save the church from possible confusion and loss, both of property and members.

14. In this connection you are strongly ur~ed not to build any type of church or chapel on any property. until there has been se-

69

cured from the owner. either a deed of sale to the Trustees of the Church or a deed of donation to the said Trustees. An investigation shows that the eagerness and haste of pastors to build, even on property without a title, has lost to us some thousands of pesos and many thousands of members, to say nothing of the endless trouble for me, and much expense for the Methodist Mission.

15. A very considerable time has been given to the relocation of churches in different centers where our buildings have been erected on the back streets and in obscure places. Weare pleased to report that options are pending and a petition is before the Board of Foreign Missions, seeking permission to use about P7,500 of interest money to be received from San Juan, for the relocation of chapels on the plazas of about fifteen important centers in our area. While this amount will not take care of all the places that need attention, the most important ones will be cared for in the recommendations sub­mitted. We believe that much time and effort have been lost through an attempt to carryon church work in unfavorable locations, and that we can never ta'lte our proper place before the people in the various communities where work has been established, until we have relocated many of our churches in more prominent positions; if pos­sible haye them placed on the public plazas of their respective cities where other public institutions are now located.

16. We have written several wills, taken many affidavits, done much free notarial service and given legal advice both to pastors and members without charge. The demands seem to increase with the years. Nevertheless it has been our pleasure "to do what our hands find to do."

TREASURERS' REPORT

We wish to express our gratitude to our Board of Foreign • Missions and our appreciation of the efforts of our presiding Bishop

that our appropriation for the Philippine field was saved from any cut tbis year. From information received, we are more fortunate than many other areas. some of them having received as much as twenty-five per cent reduction while other fields are in prospect of losing portions of their established work carried on for many years.

As Treasurer, I have had more or less to do with the financing of the new Tondo Church contract, although I was not a member of the Building Committee. This is an experience which is not uncommon to the Mission Treasurer. I have also had part in the making of the plans and in financing the building of the Elsie Fisher Memorial Church in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur. A third project taking attention was the sale of the old parsonage lot in Tuguegarao, the making of the plans, the purchase of some supplies and partly financing of the building of a new parsonage alongside the Tugue­garao Methodist Church.

Shortly after last conference, I visited Malolos in company with an architect. and a study was made of that church building. Exam­ination show.ed that the roof of this church was in a dangerous con­dition. Plans were then prepared for the new roof, and the members are now undertaking to rebuild the same.

Another project claiming my attention .as Treasurer and as a member of the building committee was that of· the making of . the plans for the New Students' Church in Manila. In company with Mr. Eddy and others, frequent visits were made to the office of the

70

architect employed in the planning for the long delayed Students' Church. About this important building you will hear more from the pastor and others.

Another project which has taken time was the negotiation for the sale of the San Juan. a project that has been going on for the past three years and which was finally terminated about the first of December 1930. The price paid was forty centavos per meter and the ultimate sale makes' possible the completion of projects that have been awaiting funds for some time.

Much time has been spent this year in the preparation for sub­mission to the Board of Foreign Missions of three different reports of a proposed use of the proceeds 'to be derived from the sale of the San Juan tract and finally, while enjoying a visit from Dr. George Sutherland, the Assistant Treasurer of the Board definite recom­mendations were made in relation to all items that should be bene­ficiaries from this source. It was with pleasure we were able to announce that through the sale every obligation of the Mission could be liquidated, with one exception, that of about twelve thousand pesos obligation created on behalf of the new Tondo Church and which item the Mission is not legally bound to pay. As to this project, fifteen thousand pesos (P15,000) were realized from the sale of the old ehurch building and the lot. Ten thousand pesos of which was origin­ally paid by the Mission. The second site on Santa Maria and the old parsonage site on the same street were both paid for by the Mis­sion, and their proceeds P10,000 were included in the new church project. An additional sum of Pll,OOO was borrowed by the Mission and secured by a mortgage on the nl:!w parsonage lot, to aid in the purchase of the new site for the church. The interest on this mort­gage is now being carried by the rent of the apartments that stand on the new parsonage lot. Definite efforts are being made to re­tire this obligation so as to release the church from repaying the amount. Then a cash grant of P5,000 from the proceeds of the San Juan sale was also contributed by the Mission to the building project, and finally, a loan of P11,721.26 was negotiated by the Mis­sion at the request of the Official Board of the Church in order to make the final payment on the building contract. These sums total approximately P48.000 though the P11,721.26 is a loan negotiated for the church at its request and is to be repaid later by the church. It is proposed that this obligation will be taken over the church after the mortgage on the parsonage lot is paid off, and be carried with the income from the four apartments standing on the parsonage lot, until such time as by local subscriptions and special gifts, this last mentioned obligation may be paid out. Then the apartment will be available for the program of the church.

As we have had but one missionary in the field, a very consi­derable amount of time has been given to renting, repairing and man­-aging of our Mission properties in the various provincial centers. From four of these properties .. funds have been collected during the year and the amount used for the recurring budget of the Con-ference.

Repairs have been made on Lope de Vega House, Tarlac, and Tuguegarao Mission House and on the Knox Community House. Extensive repairs must be made on the Lope de Vega and on the Isaac Peral Houses else they will be shortly condemned for fur-ther use.

The Knox church has been examined by competent contractors who say that two to three thousand pesos must soon be spent on this building or it will no longer be usable.

On September first, Mr. Eddy was obliged to return to the

71

United States because of Mrs. Eddy's health. By order of our presiding Bishop the chairmanship of the Wesley Foundation was given to me. Upon examination it was discovered that two or three of .the dormitories were not succeeding, and their condition subse­quently required a change in management in two cases. Before the matters could be worked out it was necessary for me to make several special trips to the provinces. Since then it has been neces­sary to visit other dormitories during this conference year.

On January first of this year the Board entered upon a new plan as to the maintenance of their Missionaries. From that date all questions relating to their expense are to be taken care of direc tly from the home office.

We record with pleasure the visit from the Assistant Treasurer of the Board of Foreign Missions and are grateful to him for the few days he spent in our midst. While he gave his time exclusively to the study of our property and financial interests, we believe that his visit should prove very helpful to us. In the few days Dr. Suther­land was here, he not only familiarized himself with the location and values of our properties, but he visited many of the adjacent towns and saw for himself their condition and need.

PUBLISHING HOUSE REPORT

During the past year the Publishing House, like most business houses in Manila, has suffered a serious business depression. A·long with this depression, the American ·Bible Society for whom we have been regularly printing and publishing Bibles suddenly decided to cease publishing for a time.

A difficult experience for me came with the resignation of Mr. George Wightman on September 1st, 1930. Mr. Wightman had been our efficient Superintendent of Printing for some years. Then came the departure of Mr. Paul D. Eddy and his wife that laid on me the extra responsibility of the Wesley Foundation that has the oversight of dormitory activities in the provinces. This new work has made necessary frequent inspection trips to the provinces.

Fo:r.tunately the coming of Mr. Paul Thomas and his wife in the latter part of October to have charge of our Printing Department brought relief and promise for the future. Being an experienced missionary printer, Mr. Thomas has already well demonstrated his fitness for the place, and we are now ready for an advance when business conditions shall make such possible.

The commercial printing done during the year was P10,000 under that of the previous year, and that of the religious printing was P3,000 less. A slight gain was made in the business of the book bind­ing department. We closed the year with a total loss in the printing department of P251, a condition which we have not experienced for many years.

The value of our stock in the Book Store has increased from P83,600 to P35,300 while the sales were P700 less than last year. Our loss in that department was P2,600, making a total loss in both departments of P2,851 for the year, which means that amount, of rentals of the building were used in carrying on the business of the store and printing departments.

The worth of our business can never be measured in pesos. In both departments of our endeavor we are constantly rendering service to our constituency without charge and not infrequently at the same

72

time making direct contributions to the different activities of the churches.

We have made our usual donations to the Mabuting Balita, the PhilipP'ine Observer, and to Conference publications amounting to P2,000. We have made other donations in printing amounting to ~275. It is only fair to say that this report includes but a part of the real contributions that are being made by the Publishing House to pastors and to members throughout the Conference. We make from ten to twenty per cent discount on all sales and printing for both pastors and missionaries.

Our total liquid assets, excluding our printed and other stock on hand, are P19,500; ordinary business Jiabilities of all kinds do not exceed P20,000. Under these circumstances we feel justified in an­nouncing that from April 1st, we shall make to our pastors and district superintendents, a discount of 20% on all their printing, while the 10% discount will be continued on the book sales made to them as in the past. As long as the Book Store is not paying its full overhead expenses, we do not feel justified in making a further reduction in the sale of our books, but we do hope that in the not distant future, the business of the store will so increase that we may give to our pastors a discount of 20% on all purchases of hooks which they may make,

During the year, we have published as usual, the Philippine Observer, and the M abuting Balita. We have published and bound for the American Bible Society six thousand Old Testaments, and nine thousand New Testaments, and seventy thousand Bible portions this year. For the Lawyer's Cooperative Publishing Company the Tagalog-English Dictionary, and the Code of Commerce of the Phil­ippines.

Special efforts have been made to distribute literature. We have placed in various dormitories in the provinces, large quantities of Sunday School materials and other helpful books and magazine.s. We have honored as far as possible all requests of pastors for used Sunday School materials in English, and some tons of this material has been distributed.

Our sales in the Book Department steadily increased due to the energetic personal attention of Miss Gladys Hillard, who is now in charge. Our pastors and the people generally agree that the store is more attractive and better managed than it previously has been. The stock is being kept UP and the a"dvertising is yielding results.

We trust that our pastors and members will remember that the Publishing House is being maintained entirely for their benefit and that of the Protestant religious community in the Philippine Islands~ If there is any gain on anything we publish or sell, it is to he rein­vested in supplies for the future advancement of the cause in oui" midst. That when our business is able to carry its "full expense, then there will be the entire rental of the building released for help in supplying good literature to our people and in providing a suitable retirement fund for our preachers.

We are very grateful to each one of our faithful employees and to the others who have helped to make possible whatever success we have had during the year.

We shall thank you, one and all, for any cooperation you . may give in carrying out the program which will make the institution a larger help to the churches and a sure help to thetrpasto~s. .

THE PROGRAM OF ADVANCE FOR OUR METHODIST CHURCH AND MISSION EFFORT IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

FOR THE NEXT DECADE LOOKIN6 TOWARD A GRADUAL WITHDRAWAL OF THE MISSION AS

AN ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE SUCCEED-ING DECADE

Following Bishop Lee's presentation of a general statement concerning the proposals that were made to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church at their Annual Meeting November 20-22, 1930, the members of the Philippine Islands Annual Conference desire to place on record an expression of their apprecia­tion of such proposals and their willingness to cooperate.

The suggestion that our evangelistic program shall be strength­ened materially for the next decade in cooperation with the Board of Foreign Missions and the Women's Foreign Missionary Society looking toward a gradual tl'ansfer to the Philippine Islands Annual Conference in the succeeding decade of such responsibility, we, the members of this Conference, express our cordial endorsement of such a program which it would appear will by this process help so to reach the point of self-support and self-direction and also make it possib!e for us to become a self-propagating church group.

This plan which also looks toward the setting upon a substantial foundation of our Union Theological Seminary and the other institu­tions which are now making such fine contributions to the life of our people seems to us to be a sensible procedure. We, therefore. as a Conference desire to express gracious appreciation for the kindly tentative consideration that has already been given to this proposal by the Board of Foreign Missions and by various representatives of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and earnestly hope that it may be 'Possible in the near future for those Boards to accept this general program I as a definite plan of o'Peration.

The present development of the educational system in the Phil­ippines is such that it has created a ripe and ever widening field of opportunity. In view of the natural limited resources of student groups, it is perfectly evident that there must be continued subsidy aid for a few years in order to meet this strategic challenge. With the above statements, we, as members of the Philippine Islands An­nual Conference hereby record our genuine endorsement of the note of emphasis along the line of young people's work in the program presented by the Bishop.

We pledge our earnest endeavors and cordial cooperation in the earnest hope that thereby we may together materially strengthen the program which is apparently building the Kingdom of God in the Philippine IslaJ}ds.

STATE OF THE CHURCH

T. E. ALTAMERO, Chairman

Your committee highly commends the influence if good music in our churches, such as has been demonstrated by Mrs. J. W. Moore during this conference. We, believe that 'a merry heart doeth good like medicine' and that a church with good music can very easily away with her ailments. We, theref-ore, urg-e the more conse­crated .and intensive use of good music throughout our conference.

We are more than gratified to learn of the marvelous progress

74

of our churches in self-support and in conversions. In these respects we feel that we are not only on god's side but that god is on our side. We trust that the rivival effort during this conference session will have its influence throughout our field of labor, and that it will bear much fruit so as to make our reports glorify the name of Jesus even more triumphantly when we come together next year.

We wish to express our gratitude for the able and consecrated leadership of our pastors, District superintendents, missionaries of both the W.F.M.S. and the General Board; and our special apprecia­tion of the wise and prophetic leadership of our beloved. Bishop and Mrs. Edwin F. Lee which has outstanding influence all over this area. As a pupil becomes like his teacher, our church members and friends everywhere, even far into the depths of the jungles, are responding to the call of the Master, answering to the call to His great salvation and to the greater call of getting others to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.' -

Believing that the largest, spiritual blessings can not come to our people until they are free from all kinds of vice-breeding dens of iniquity; and knowing that the church is greatly rtsponsible for the personal purity of the inhabitants of any community; and realizing that any form of vice undermines and gradually destroys the physical, moral, and spiritual development of every individual;

Your committee on Public Morals heartily recommends and urges that the Philippine Islands Annual Conference make it the duty of its preachers and a Gospel workers not to keep Quiet with regard to moral questions. There is absolute need and imperative demand for extending and rt-enforcing the battle line against the following un­necessary evils.

First is the slavery among women or exploitation of girls in the Islands. We extend our moral support to the Manila Police depart­ment and women detectives who are efficient in their protection of the public. We also express our sincere appreciation to the heroic effort of the initiators of the Abiertas House of Friendship and to the teaching of the W.T.C.U. under the leadership of Mrs. S. W. Stagg, and the lectures and printed articles of Dr. Rebecca Parish warning the homes of these dangers.

Second is the cabaret. It is now finding its way to the different towns of the provinces. We must seriously take an uncompromising stand against it.

Third is the cockpit. The cockpit evil is worse than ever before. It is making many converts not only among the old generation but among the young people. It has always been a filthy cause of un­happy homes. "AWA Y WITH COCKPITS" must be our slogan.

Fourth are gam bIng, filthy literature, uncensored cine fiJms and the liquor traffic. We do not need to mention the satanic effects of these social evils, and so we must use every m~ans to instruct our people that they should free themselves from them. And we also recommend that steps be taken by the religious Ruthorities, as well as by the law making body of the Philippine Islands. toward the eradIcation of the said evils.

We further recommend that copies of this he mafle to be sent to the Philippine Legislature and to the leading News Papers in the city.

As supplementary report of the Board of Ministerial Training the following resolution was presented having had favorable -action by the Board of Ministerial Training to which it was referred previously.

EXTENSION BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL B. O. PETERSON

In view of the fact that the Extension system of instruction has demonstrated its value in various fields of learning,

In consideration of the conditions within the bounds of the Annual Conference that a large number of our English speaking supply Pastors can have no hope for Seminary Training,

J."-Be it therefore required by this Annual Conference that in the application of the Extension method the following recommenda-tions be followed: '

1. That all English speaking local preachers appointed to circuits whose preparation fits them for doing 'so be required to take the Extension Course as outlined in the Conference Minutes of 1927;

2. That comprehensive question lists on each text book be prepared by instructors designated by the Board of Minis­terial Training, as is done in the Annual Conference Course;

3. That all students be required to report to their in­structors each month the progress made in both the books to be studied and in the books to be read;

4. That a passing grade of 75 be required, but that com­pletion of the course does not necessarily imply nor guarantee entrance on trial in the Annual Conference except as other conditions favor BUch promotion.

II.~Futhermore be it recommended-1. That for the purpose of instruction and direction, there

be three general divisions of the districts with centers for class instruction as such individual sections may determine through the District Superintendents concerned. namely, the Cagayan Valley Districts, The Ilocos S\1r, Pangasinan and Tarlac Districts and the Pampanga, Central and Manila­Zambales Districts.

2. That in each such section a continuous month of rigorous class instruction be given each year, that month to be determined by the District Superintendents Concerned.

I1I.-For the purpose of financing this Extension Bible Training School it is suggested that-

1. Each section as determined above, be responsible for its own obligations;

2. That the District Work fund in each District provide as far as possible for the expenses of the class sessions, purchase of books and travel expenses of its own students;

3. That the Methodist Publishing House through the Board of Ministerial Training and the Finance Committee, be asked to furnish the text books needed on the same condi­tions as are granted for the books in the Annual Conference Course; .

4. That students who for any reason do not continue the Extension course to completion, be required to return the books furnished them.

ANNUAL REPORT OF UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

A. L. RYAN, President

In view of the fact that this marks the close of the term of six years for which I was elected as President. it seems appropriate to take a look in retrospect, first in order that we may see more clearly the various developments in their relation to the present moment, and also that we may thus more faithfully anticipate what should characterize our development in the future.

In 1925 we were occupying Tooker Hall, through the courtesy and generosity of the Presbyterian Mission. In fact this arrangement had obtained since the beginning of the union institution in 1907, with the exception of two or three years when Methodist buildings were used for part of the classes. This goes back beyond the days of most of us. We owe the Presbyterian Mission a debt of gratitude which we can never repay. Apart from these facilities the Seminary had no other adequate housing equipment.

As recorded in our catalogue, the school began in 1907 as a union between the Presbyterians and Methodists. The names of Rodgers, Wright, Rader, and Farmer, are most intimately associated· with those early years. The United Brethren joined the Seminary in 1911, the Disciples in 1916, and the Congregationalists in 1919. The Seminary was legally incorporated in December, 1919, as officially supported by these five denominations. This marked the beginning of "a new stage of development.

Admission Requirements

~revious to 1919, the requirements for admission were less than High School graduation. Indeed when I first joined the Faculty in 1915, men were being admitted with only seventh grade equipment. But those were beginning days. Men of higher attainment were not available. It is difficult to appreciate the contrast between tho~e days and the present, from the educational standpoint. English classes in Sunday schools were rare. The High Schools had not yet gathered momentum.

But even with the lesser trained ministry, the church was going forward. Many of the men of those former days were characterized by a sacrificial spirit that is not excelled today, although I believe it is equalled. From the standpoint of training, they were fairly equipped. The educational demands were not as great then as now.

In 1919, the first year of college work was offered, the Seminary being open only to High School graduates. However, a Bible Train­ing School to provide help for men of lesser preparation was con­tinued as a part of the institution until 1926, when it was automa­tically discontinued. The increase of High School graduates as candidates for the ministry made it no longer necessary.

Our New Building

It was also in 1919-20 that crystallized agitation began to take shape looking towards a new building. Reams of paper were con­sumed in recording the committee meetings, conferences, and cor­respondence, during the five yars from 1920 to 1925. But they were not in vain. Building plans were finally adopted, money was ap­propriated, the site was secured, and the actual erection of our present magnificent plant took place in the latter months of 1925 and the early months of 1926. My first year as president was occupied a good deal in the supervision of some of these building' details. But a large degree of credit must go to the efficient building committee,

special mention being made of Dr. E. S. Lyons, Chairman, Dr. J. B. Rodgers, and Dr. Frank C. Laubach. They gave their time un­stintedIy. It should also be recorded that the building is a splendid tribq.te to the ;l.rchitectural genius of Mr. Charles A. Gunn.

Including the tilling of the land. the building of side-wallts and roa~-way, the planting of hedg~s, shrubbery, and vine~, the painting anq eq~ipm~nt of the building, our present actual investment anwunts to about P240.000. But with the natural increase in the value of hind· fronting on T3ft Avenue, it js perhaps conservative to say that our property is now worth at least P300,OOO. From the standpoint of building, equipJl).ent, and grounds, we are well prepared for a forward adv~nc~. We could take c~re of three or four times our present stu dept h9<iy with very little addition to our clJrrent ex­pense. Jndeed, s~ch an increase of st~dents would mean considerable IDcome from tq.itions, which would more than ov~r-balance any extra t~ching budget. Further, most of our teachers say they would much prefer the stimulus of a class of twenty or twenty-five to a class of four or ~ve. .

C~rricJ.llum R~vision

Another task which engaged our attention in 1925-26, was the revision of curriculum m.ade necessary by the addition of an extra year in our course, which all agreed was desirabl~ from the stand­point of standards and more adeQuate training for those able to receive it. I said above that the first year of college wor~ w~s offered in 1919-20. A second year was added in 1920-~1. (The catalogue of that year records six students in the first year of the college. ·~hree in the second year. twelv~ sp~ip.l students, four students in the Seminary proper, making a total enrollment of 25 in college and Seminary, ten of whom were ministerial students. During the past aix yeaTS our annual average of ministerial students has been between 45 and pO, with about half as many teacher students. Not more tIlan 6 per cent of our ministerial students have changed to other professions. )

The SeminJlry in 1920-21 was still taking students direct trom High School, with no requirements as to college pre-requisites. How·· ever, provision was made $0 th~t men who completed the two years of cq}lege work, could then take the three years of Seminary training, doing additional collateral as compared with those who were merely High School graduates, and afwr cOJllpletion of the Seminary course, receive the :s.D. degree. In other words the B.D. was conferrelj a.fter five years of study. This arrangemeJlt continued until commencement in March, 1926, 7 me.,. receiving the B.D. degree UP to 1926 on this plan.

In June, 1926, the revised curri~ulum was ina~guratet;l, calling for six years Qf work ~fprf. giving the B.D. and providing tor a Ph.B. degree at the end of four years. This phm with cert~ip modifications has prevailed to the p.resent, the B.A. being given also since 1927 for the general Arts course, while the Ph.B. has applied particularly to the Shorter ~JpfJlary course.

Our Supreme Emphasis In view of occasional questions which come to Us about the nature

A.n4 emp}lasis of our Septinary instrJlctioll, 1. wish now to give a d~taU~(r 3na.lY!5is of some r~t4er significant facts. A letter has recently corne to my desk with a P3r3gr3PlJ, as follows:

HIt is rumored that only a handful of ·-students are actually studying Theolosry in the Seminary, and that most of th~m al'e getting their college courses there only."

The College Department 'has always been very closely ailied wlt'h the wini.sterial training. Take our present graduating class of 15 students as an Hh.lstratiOIl. Three will receive A.B. and 12 will receive Ph.B. degrees. Four of these are looking forward to teaching, 4 to specialized religious education work, and 7 to the active ministry. A study of the records of these students reveals that the 7 preachers have had a grand total of 463 units in Bible. Theology, and other }'eiigious subjects, thus indicating an average of 66 units for each student out of the total 140 units required for graduation. The four students who look forward to religious education work have 227 units in religious subjects. or an average of 57 units per student out of :). total of 140 required. The four students who look forward to ~ach­ing have elected a total of 202 units in religious subjects. thus an average of 51 for each of them. The r.emaining units are made up ()f general cuitural subjects-Science, Spanish, English, History, Psychology, Education, Sociology, and Philosophy, all of which are pre-requisite or basic for a well-rounded ministerial training.

It would thus seem that taking a four-years college course in the Seminary does not at all mean a lack of ministerial emphasis. On the other hand it is clearly evident that the ministry receives supreme attention. and that our preacher students who go out to the field after four years of work. have received a most excellent foundation for effective service.

Our Graduates, Outstanding Leaders

Since I became President in 1925, we have had six commence­ments including March. 1931. 28 have graduated with A.B. and 24 with Ph.B. and 9 with B.D. degrees. This makes a total of 61 degree graduates. Deductillg 7 for those counted twice leaves a net total of 54 or an average of 9 for each commencement.

Of this net total of 54 degree graduates, two are in business, thl'ee are in Americg pursuing graduate theological study, 3 are taking B.S.E. work in other schools in Manila, 18 are doing teaching, and :\ considerable amount of church work besides. 4 are specialized re­ligious education workers, and 25 are regllla~' actil'c preachers.

There are three others who have taken part of the college course in the Seminary and have gone on to America to continue their theological studies. They are Cordero. Laxamana, and Adeva. Others have finished part of the college work and are in the field doing effective service, such as Amor, Alora, Ferrer, Leoncio Cruz. Bana, Capule. Inis. Resus, Dia. and a score or more of others, many of wl19m will return to complete their work. To name a few of the 25 graduate preachers mentioned above, together with those given, is ~nough to indicate the high character and ability of these men. For example. Navarro, Rodriguez, Uriarte, Galvez, Evangelista, Iyoy, Vicente Verora, Alvaro, Santos, Esteban Cruz, Felino Florendo, Nacu, Gamboa. Zuiiiga, Gines. Simon Reyes, Galia, Palacio, Manuel, Guer­rero. These men c01nprise a mai01"ity of the real leadet·s in the Evangelical'Movement in the Islands.

We have this year a total of 74 students enrolled, 42 are definitely committed to the ministry, 26 for Christian teaching. and 6 for other professions. As stated above our average number of ministerial students each year during the past six years, has been between "15 apd 50. less than five per cent of whom have changed to other tasks or professions.

It would seem from this analysis that the Seminary is effectively fultllling its hlgh mission. This is not to imply that there is no rOOl'll for improvement. It i:; hoped that with the cooperation of all (it must never be forgotten that the Seminary is a cooperative enter-

prise), the Seminary will be enabled in the future to give an increased spiritual deepening to the lives of students. and also relate its teach­ing still more concretely to the needs of the field.

Impaet of Christian Personality As a further tribute to the impact of faculty upon students, may

I auote for you a brief message from one of our grauuates as recentlY pUblished in the Umon Voice.

"I came to the Union Theological Seminary because it could -give me the best training for the ministry. And now after four years stay in it, I find that my institution has not only helped me academically but also morally and spiritually thru wholesome contacts with Christ-spirited professors. From these men and women, w~ose lives are highly consecrated to the Master, I caught more than from books, the message of Chris­tian Love which is the message that I shall preach."

The Seminary Evangelistic In harmony with this eloquent testimony which could be dup­

licated many times from other students, it is a source of inspiration to note the evangelistic emphasis which is finding rich expression on the part of mal1Y former students and graduates. At the present time the Methodist preachers are coming together for their Annual Conference. It has therefore been convenient to gather some facts as to their evangelistic progress. From conversations with a dozen or more I find that they all bear glowing testimony that the Seminary helped to incTease their evangelistic fervor and passion. Their fruit­age furthermore bears witness to this declaration. To illustrate, Feliciano Amor, who was a student with us for two years, (1927-29) reports 120 conversions during this past year. Mr. Amor expects to continue his studies with us this coming year. Esteban T. Cruz received bis B.A. and B.D. in 1926 and 1928. Last March he was appointed superintendent for Bulacan and Nueva Ecija provinces. During the year he and his preachers have had 570 conversions and accessions to the church in his district. Ciriaco Inis, who graduated in the old Seminary and who spent an additional year with us last year, has been acting as superintendent for the South Cagayan district. He reports a net increase in church membership of more than 600 for the year. While statistics do not tell all the story they bear eloquent testimony to the existence of real fervor and passion for the up-building of the church. Of course the Seminary cannot and does not claim the credit for this evidence of spiritual advance. The glory must be given to Him from whom all blessings flow. But humanly speaking this fruitage is not without some significance in relation to the Seminary and its program of teaching.

Both in the class-room and in the Chapel exercises the Christ spirit prevails. Frequently there are visitors of note who speak from our platfonn with real spiritual unction and power. Many former students write that the chapel exercises linger in their memories as refreshing sources of inspiration. Occasionally the chapel services are varied, the students themselves taking part in pray~r and in -speaking.

During-this comirur year it is proposed to organize one or more gospel teams composed of students, who will go out for week-end visits to hold special meetings in churches near Manila. I have recently learned with joy that a ministerial gospel team has already been organi~d, consisting of two graduates and two others who are now in school. .

Teaching Staff

I refer next to our teaching staff. In the nature of the case an educational institution cannot be divorced from the personalities who make up the faculty. The essential elements in the school are teachers and students. The impact of Christ-like character is of even greater significance than subject-matter.

The complete teaching staff during the present year has been as follows:

Rev. J. L. Hooper, Theology and Homiletics. Rev. W. T. Allison, Church History, Public Speaking and Logic. Rev. O. L. Davis, New Testament. Rev. Enrique Sobrepena, Philosophy. Rev. H. E. Fey, Old Testament and Sociology. Mrs. H. E. Fey, one course in English. Rev. E. K. Higdon, Practice Preaching. Mrs. E. K. Higdon, Church History. Mrs. A. L. Ryan, Religious Education and History. Rev. Francisco Carino, Religious Education. Mrs. O. L. Davis, English and Music. Mr. E. M. Cooper, Hymnology and Chorus work. Mr. V. T. Velasquez and Mr. Dan Colipano-Botany. Mrs. L. C. Padilla, Philippine History. Mrs. David Innes, English Composition. Mr. Zacarias, two courses in Spanish. Mr. Federico Roa. Mathematics. Miss Lois Weir, Physical Education for women. Mr. Dan Colipano, Physical Education for men. Mr. D. D. Parker, Library. Dr. P. Ranieses, Secretary of Records. Rev. J. W. Moore, Paul and His Epistles. Mrs. J. W. Moore, Hymnology and Chorus work. Rev. G. B. Cameron, Book-keeping. A. L. Ryan, Religious Education and Administrative work.

If time and space were available it would be easy to pay glowing tributes to everyone of these teachers. Thy have been giving them­selves to the work in a real spirit of service. It does seem appropriate for us to mention specifically those who are soon to leave us for furlough and also those who are soon returning to the work.

Mr. and Mrs. Davis have been associated with the Seminary intimately and continuously for five years. Mr. Davis has taught several courses in New Testament, while Mrs. Davis has had a course in English, has given a good deal of attention to Piano instruction and has assisted in the chorus and hymnology work. As they leave for furlough in April, our best wishes go with them. We shall miss them more than words can express. I think I am echoing the feelings of students and faculty when I say that it is our unanimous desire for them to retul"n to this work to which they have already given such long and helpful service.

Rev. and Mrs. Moore returned from furlough last year, and began work in the Seminary during the second semester. We al'e happy to welcome them to our staff. Arrangements are being made for increased service from both of them this coming year. They will be a strong addition to our faculty.

Also it is a pleasure to announce that Mrs. Sylvia B. Thomac: will have charge of our piano work. She is a musician of unusual ability.

Cooperation

In closing I want to record my deep gratitude and appreciation for the splendid cooperation that has been accorded to me by both Trustees and Faculty during the past six years. It has been a joyful

service. While there have been many problems and difficulties, the opportunities have been rich and the fruitage has been satisfying. We are grateful for the manifest presence and blessing oj. our Heavenly Father.

I wish also to record my very deep appreciation to the Rev. E. K. Higdon, who during my furlough in 1926-7, and also during four months in 1928, while I was in attendance at the World Sunday School Convention in Los Angeles, so efficiently carried on the administration of the school as acting President. He has proven himself a tower of strength in every way. I have always found him sympathetic and co-operative in the highest degree. He has made a number of suggestions for the improvement and strengthening of our entire school program.

As we look into the future, we see oppo-rtunities for larger achievement. There are many tasks yet waiting to be done. With continued cooperation and unity of purpose the Seminary has a great future before it. It stands at the center of the Evangelical Move­ment of the Islands. The Alumni list now includes more than 120 Filipino graduates. They have gone out as heroic pioneers into all parts of the Islands. They are laying the foundation for a self­supporting, self-governing and self-propagating church.
