Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of Deputation of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions: To Siam, the Philippines, Japan, Chosen and Chins, April-November, 1915 The deputation consisted of Mr. Dwight H. Day, Treasurer of the Board, Dr. David Bovaird, its Medical Adviser, and Mrs. Bovaird, Mr. T. Guthrie Speers, and Mr. Robert E. Speer, one of the Secretaries. Dr. and Mrs. Bovaird, Mr. Speers and Mr. Speer sailed from San Francisco on April 17th, visiting Honolulu, Japan. Manila, and Canton on the way out, and meeting Mr. Day, who had come from England, in Penang on May 27th, Mr. Day having arrived in Penang less than an hour before the rest of the party. Those who came from San Francisco had unusual opportunities to spend profitably their one day in Honolulu ´by reason of the unmeasured hospitality and kindness of Ex-Governor George R. Carter. In the interval between the steamer´s arrival at Yokohama and departure from Nagasaki, Mr. Speer and Mr. Speers were able to take part in the united evangelistic campaign in Japan in Osaka and Kobe, to visit the station and girls´ school in Shimonoseki, to confer with Mr. Whiten er from Yamaguchi and with the Union Church in Yokohama and to meet in Nagasaki Dr. Beebe, Secretary of the China Medical Missionary Association, with reference to problems of medical education in China. The steamer stopped long enough in Manila to make possible a visit to Baguio which the Mission desired Dr. Bovaird to see in connection with the proposal that our Mission should build some sanatarium cottages there. Dr. E. P. Dunlap met the deputation at Penang and the time from May 27th to July 16th was spent in visiting the two missions in Siam, It was not possible to visit Nan and Chieng Rai but the deputation went to all the other stations. From Bangkok the deputation went directly to Hoilo by way of Singapore and the Spanish Mail. Both at Singapore and at Penang the Methodist missionaries showed us unstinted kindness and we had the great privilege of Bishop Eveland´s company on the boat from Singapore to Hoilo. July 26th to Sept. 3rd were devoted to the Philippine Islands, including a visitation of every station and a meeting of the Mission. Then one week was spent in Korea, four weeks in China and two weeks in Japan, the party returning home from Yokohama on Nov. 4th. The extra expense of so large a deputation was met not by the Board but by the members of the deputation or friends who believed that such a visit should be made. The expense of publishing this formidable report also, it might be well to mention, is met privately and not by the Board, the Board merely purchasing at cost such copies as it desires to use.
