"Whenthe unrest becomes acute, it is undoubtedly harmful toseveral branches of the work. Students in the schools andcolleges find it hard to concentrate attention "on the dailyprogramme. Yet when men s minds are roused to thinkseriously on any subject it is no small asset to the missionaryChurch.FSinmiufu was in the summer and autumnIoocJsof 1915 the scene of devastating floods thatpauperizedthe whole district and invaded the compoundcontaining our mission building. The outer walls werewashed away and some of the buildings fell. To repair thedamage done to the church property and to ensure thefuture safety of the present buildings will require theexpenditure of 1000.^ieEvan outstanding hindrance in the year selistic }Workpreaching has been the abject poverty of themass of the people. "How to eat and live isthe important concern of the great body of the people."Yet it is still "the unanimous testimony of our preachersthat wherever they go the people are willing to listen to thegospel."For over a year the Church in Manchuria has been in astate of expectancy. The special evangelistic committee ofthe synod has arranged for a great forward movement,

There the Church gets young Christiansof the best type.It is now four years since the three Protestant Missions\vorking in Manchuria decided to take up special work amonggovernment students. A member of each of the threemissions was allocated to this work in co-operation with theYoung Men s Christian Association. The year 1915 was oneof quiet, steady work.The Mission hasH{ hefa part in the theologicalEducation college in Moukdeu, on the faculty of whichit is represented by Dr. Fulton, and in theManchuria Christian College. This is a union institutionconducted by the two Presbyterian missions in Manchuriaand by the Danish Lutheran Mission. The war has interfered with the erection of a much needed building for classrooms. This year seventy students were enrolled (of thegraduates all but one have remained in the service of theChurch). In the past the Mission or the Church havealways been able to oiler employment to the graduates. Thetime has about come when this will no longer be the case.InMidcj leevery station, with the single exceptionSchools i Moukden, there is a boys middle school,making eight schools of this grade in theMission.
