Elder W. C. Hankins, of Amoy, superintendent of the Southern Mission Field, says:—

STATIONS AND WORKERS

We have five stations in this province; viz., Chin Chew, Tang Oa, Do Gang, Amoy, and Kulangsu, with an average attendance, at Sabbath services, of about one hundred. Thirty-three of these have been baptized. Six were baptized this year.

We have five Chinese evangelists, two colporteurs, two school-teachers, and two Bible women. The stations are within a radius of about one hundred miles, and can be reached by steam-launches, sailboats, and rowboats, as there are many waterways through this section.

Two of these stations, Amoy and Tang Oa, have been opened this year. Besides these regular stations, the truth has entered the cities of Chiang Chew, Chioh Be, Hui Oa, Oa Hai, and the island of Kim Mng, as well as many other cities and villages where our colporteurs and evangelists have sold literature.

SCHOOL WORK

Elder B. L. Anderson opened a boarding-school for boys in our chapel at Kulangsu during the latter part of the year. Nine boys entered, all but one children of our own people. It is a small beginning, but we look for great results from this training-school.

A day-school for girls has been opened in our Amoy chapel by Mrs. B. L. Anderson, with a well-educated young lady, a member of our Kulangsu church, as teacher. There are about fifteen girls enrolled, most of whom come from heathen families.
