Hok-ing Dong, or East Street, has prospered under Pastor
Ding Dai Liong. Connected with this charge is the South Gate
hospital of the W. F. M. S. It is doing an excellent work under
the supervision of Dr. Hu King Eng. In connection with Hoking
Dong Miss Wells has started vi'ork among the lepers outside
of the East Gate of the city ..
Sieu-liang Dong has had a successful year under the pastorate
of Hu Caik Cieu. The great need of this circuit is means to
buy land and build a large church a mile or more farther from
Tieng-ang Dong than the Sieu-liang chapel, which with difficulty
holds the crowds that attend preaching services, Sunday-school
and Epworth League. I earnestly hope some good friend or
friends in America will contribute the $rooo. or more necessary
to supply this pressing need.
Tieng-ang Dong, as you all know, is the great central
church not only of a large circuit, but of the entire conference.
Here the students of the Anglo-Chinese College, Theological
School, Conference Seminary·, Normal School, etc., have their
church home. During the year Pastor Hu Caik Hang has had
a very heavy burden to bear. His faithful care of his aged
mother, who, I am glad to state, is now improving in health,
has been all that the highest type of filial piety could require.
Mr. Hu's burden has been farther increased by the death of
Dong Bing Ung, the earnest assistant pastor. Tieng-ang Dong
met with another heavy loss in the death of Mr. Go Tieng Seu,
the president of the Epworth League chapter, but his place is
being well filled by 1Ir. Ding Maing lng, one of the teachers in
the Anglo-Chinese College. The various students appointed on
this populous circuit have done good work and the charge has
had a prosperous year.
Gang-cia and Dong-ngiang circuit is one of the hardest of
our many hard fields. Much of the land in that beautiful
valley is annually devoted to the poppy. The people are more
friendly than formerly, but they are so immersed in world- •
liness that it is very difficult to rouse them to a sense of
spiritual things. The pastor Ding Sin lng has toiled faithfully
Guang-nguong-die has had a very good year under the
pastorate of Sia Tieng Siong. The circuit greatly needs a larger
and better chapel.
Iek-iong and Ngu-kang circuit shows considerable improvement
over last year. A new class has been organized at Liangtan,
where the work is most promising. Dong Ging Ching is
pastor.
