REPORTS OF P Foochow District. M. C. WILCOX, Presiding Elder. • Another conference year-a very short one-has drawn to a close. M"y heart is filled with gratitude to the Giver of all good for innumerable blessings and mercies shown to my fellowworkers-Chinese and foreign-to our Christian people and to myself and family since we met in our last annual convocation. We all rejoice that the plague has been far less wide-spread and destructive than last year. There have been comparatively few deaths among our people from this cause, thuugh the ravages of cholera have been more terrible. Some months ago about five hundred Christian Chinese, including a number of families, removed from this part of the Fookien province to lpoh, Perak, in the Straits Settlements, hoping thus to improve their worldly condition. Some have removed elsewhere and several of our best contributors have died. The loss of so many of our church members and the brevity of the Conference year have rendered it difficult to advance in self-support and in the amount contributed for various purposes, or even to reach the point attained last year. But under the circumstances the entire statistical report for this district is really gratifying. I will now briefly characterize the ,york on the various circuits of this district :- Dai-ngie has shown much improvement under Pastor Cung Daik Ming and his excellent wife. The people of that section were formerly very rude, especially towards foreigners, but one now seldom hears an inSUlting or impolite epithet. I am very sorry that Duai-bang-iong has not really prospered. The young local preacher who was appointed there proved recreant to his trust and the district conference very properly took away his license. Bo-ding-haeng has 011 the whole had a better year than last. Rev. Sie Seng Cang is pastor. Under the veteran Pastor Iek lng Guang, Cing Sing Dong circuit has had another good year of seed-sowing. The greatest advance has probably been at Liu-sai appointment where Lau Cauk N guong has been laboring.
