Report of Mission Work
under the charge of
H Noyes. 1882 -
During the past year there
have been in the Training
School for Women and the
Girl's Boarding School
one hundred and ten scholars
forty two women and sixty-
eight girls. Of this number
thirteen have been received
into the church eight women
and five girls. Three more
have applied for baptism and
several others have expressed
a wish to do so. Four of the
women from the Training
School have commenced work
as Bible Readers, one has taken
up the study of medicine and
another has commenced teaching
^Three of the girls from the Boarding School have also commenced teaching
Some of the women in the
Training School have been in
attendance during only a part
of the year. The progress
nd deportment of the scholars
in both these schools throughout
the year has been most
satisfactory, This year
completes the first decade
since these schools were opened.
During that time eighty-six
of the scholars have been received
into the First and Second
churches and forty-two have
been employed as helpers by our
own or other missions ----
Day Schools.
Ho Nam --
The number of scholars
enrolled in the Ho Nam school
was forty, Some of these have
been studying for several
years and have gone farther
in their studies than any other
day scholars that I have
had having committed to memory
nearly the whole of the
New Testament and read five
volumes of Bible Stories and
Pilgrim's Progress besides several
smaller books. The Bible Woman
who formerly lived at this school
has been laboring in the
country the past year where
she finds the work much more
encouraging.
[?In Wa Sai?] - There have been
in this school twenty-one scholars
Most of them have been regular
in attendance and have been made
good progress, The meetings
for women however have not been
well attended and as the school
was near another of the Mission
schools it has been thought best
not to continue it in the same
place another year ,
East Gate ,
The school at the
East Gate has been opened for
several years and as the teacher
is well known in the vicinity she
has no difficulty in securing
scholars, There have been this
year thirty three scholars, who
have been regular in attendance
and have made good progress
in their studies The meetings
for women have been well attended.
Hok-In Li.
In this school there
have been twenty three scholars
enrolled but many of them
have been irregular in attendance.
A Bible Woman lives at the
school and visits daily in the
families in the vicinity of this
school and the one at the East Gate.
Mau On Li.
The school at Mau On Li
was opened just at the close of last
year. There have been
twenty-five scholars this year
nearly all of whom have attended
very regularly and been diligent
in their studies The school
has been in all respects the
most satisfactory of all my
day schools. The teacher has
been very faithful and spared
no pains in teaching her
scholars and they have done
well in all their studies, There
has always been a good number
of women present at the meetings
and they have seemed attentive
and interested ,
Second Street.
The school at Second
Street was opened this year
The teacher is one of the girls from
the Boarding School who was
married last year to one of
the assistants in the Baptist
Mission . Her Mother lives with her
and labors as a Bible Woman
in the vicinity , When the school
was first opened there was a large
number of scholars forty-four
but after a time some opposition
was made and the number
was somewhat reduced.
There has always been a
very large attendance at the
meetings , during the first six
months there were usually from
sixty to one hundred present
The number was so large
that it was quite impossible for
them all to find even standing
room in the school-room and
it was found necessary to rent
the building adjoining and
have two services at the same
time so that all could hear,
I have never opened a school
in any place in the city before
where the people appeared so
friendly and it has seemed
very pleasant and encouraging
This school is a long
distance from any other and
in a place where as yet there
has been little or no mission
work done.
Un Ha Tiu
This school was
opened this year in a village
some ten miles North of Canton.
There have been in all eighteen
scholars but some of them
have been irregular in
attendance as they have
been obliged to work --
sometimes only studying in
the evening, A few have been
able to give enough time to
their books to make very
satisfactory progress and all
have endeavored to be present
whenever I have visited the
school. The teacher was formerly
in the Training School and
studied medicine for a time
As her school has been
small she has been able to
spend some time in working as
a Bible Reader visiting the
families in the village -
Bible Readers -
Of the seven Bible
Women who have been under
my charge three have been
laboring in the city, two in the
western suburbs and two in the
country, Eight of the women
from the Training School
have spent more or less time
in visiting in the wards of the
Hospital and have been
very much interested in the
patients , Seven women and
one little girl from the Hospital
have united with the church
during the past year .
On several occasions a large
number of women have come
into the city from a village
some distance away and expressly
to receive Christian instruction
At one time a company of over
one hundred came ----
A children's service has been
held every Sabbath Morning
through the year at which
from eighty to one hundred
have been present --
H Noyes 负责的宣教工作报告。
1882 年——在过去的一年里，
女子培训学校和女子寄宿学校共有 110 名女学者和 68 名女生。
在这个数字中，
有 13 名妇女和 5 名女孩被教会接纳。
另外三个人申请了洗礼，
还有几个人表示希望这样做。
培训学校的四名女性开始读经工作，
一名学习医学，
另一名开始教书 寄宿学校的三名女生也开始教书仅在一年中的一部分时间出席。
这两所学校的学者全年的进步和举止都是最令人满意的，
今年完成了这些学校开办以来的第一个十年。
在那段时间里，
八十六名学者被第一和第二教会接纳，
四十二名被我们自己或其他使命——走读学校聘为助手。
何南——在何南学校招收的学者有四十人，
其中一些已经学习了好几年，
而且他们的学习比其他任何一位学者都走得更远。
除了几本小书外，
还阅读了五卷圣经故事和天路历程。
以前住在这所学校的圣经女人们在过去的一年里一直在乡下劳作，
她觉得这项工作更令人鼓舞。
在瓦赛 - 这所学校有 21 名学者，
他们中的大多数人经常出席并取得了良好的进展，
但是妇女会议没有得到很好的出席，
因为学校靠近另一所教会学校一直认为最好不要在同一个地方再继续它一年，
东门，
东门的学校已经开学了几年，
因为老师在附近很有名，
所以她在获得学者方面没有困难，
那里今年来了三十三位学者，
她们经常出席，
学习成绩不错。
妇女会议出席率很高。
李和仁。
这所学校招收了二十三名学者，
但其中许多人是不定期出勤的。
一位圣经妇女住在学校，
每天探访这所学校附近的家庭和东门的家庭。
茂安丽。
茂安里的学校于去年年底刚刚开学。
今年来了二十五位学者，
他们几乎都上课很规律，
学习很勤奋。
学校在各方面都是我所有走读学校中最令人满意的。
老师一直很忠实，
不遗余力地教她的学生，
他们在所有的学习中都做得很好，
总是有很多女性出席会议，
她们看起来很专注和感兴趣，
第二街。
第二街的学校今年开学 老师是寄宿学校的一名女孩，
她去年嫁给了浸信会的一名助理。
她的母亲和她住在一起，
在附近做圣经女工，
学校刚开办的时候有大量的学者四十四人，
但一段时间后有人反对，
人数有所减少。
参加会议的人数一直非常多，
在最初的六个月里，
通常有六十到一百人出席。
人数如此之多，
以至于他们都很难在教室里找到一个站着的地方，
而且发现有必要租用相邻的建筑物并同时提供两项服务，
以便所有人都能听到，
我从来没有在城市的任何地方开过学校，
那里的人们看起来如此友好，
看起来非常愉快和令人鼓舞这所学校与任何其他学校相距甚远，
而且在一个迄今为止很少或根本没有完成传教工作的地方。
Un Ha Tiu 这所学校今年在广州以北十英里的一个村庄开办。
十八位学者中都有，
但他们中的一些人因为不得不工作而不定期出勤——有时只在晚上学习，
少数人能够给他们的书足够的时间以取得非常令人满意的进展，
并且每当我访问学校时，
所有人都努力在场。
这位老师以前在培训学校学习过一段时间的医学由于她的学校很小，
她能够花一些时间做读经员，
拜访村里的家庭 - 读经员 - 在七位圣经妇女中我管三个在城里打工，
两个在西郊，
两个在乡下，
培训学校的八名妇女或多或少地在医院的病房里探访过，
对病人非常感兴趣，
在过去的一年里，
医院的七名妇女和一名小女孩与教会联合。
有好几次，
大批妇女从远处的一个村庄来到城里，
专门接受基督教的教导。
有一次，
一百多人的团体来了——每个安息日的早晨，
通过教会举行儿童礼拜。
