THE Year Book for 1916 indicates many changes over previous issues, not only in names and addresses of officials and workers, but also in organizations and grouping of territory. The most important change in territorial lines will be found under the Asiatic Division Conference, in which Australasia, China, India, and the East Indies are grouped under one division organization. The rapid growth of this work throughout the field, and the many changes thus made necessary, have occasioned many corrections in the directories, even while being prepared for the press. At the time of closing the pages for printing this issue, the number of conferences, missions, and institutions, and their distribution in various portions of the field, are indicated by the following table: — Local(cid:9) Pub. Sanita- Division Unions Confs. Missions Schools Houses riums N. American (cid:9) 12 68 2 44 14 18 European (cid:9) 10 45 47 6 12 0 Asiatic (cid:9) 6 8 29 18 7 4 S.

(cid:9) 8 1 Bahamas (cid:9) 1 Hawaiian (cid:9) 1 Totals (cid:9) 33 131 110 71 38 32 The foregoing shows that the entire world is arranged in four divis- ion conferences, two unattached unions, one group of eight mission fields, and two local missions,— a total of 278 organizations completely organ- ized and in full working order, with forces of laborers of various kinds engaged in service throughout the field. As auxiliaries, there are 141 institutions — 71 advanced schools, 38 publishing houses and branches, and 32 sanitariums, besides a number of other institutional interests. The one outstanding feature of this issue is the fact that this cause is growing very rapidly in every way. Some of this growth is set forth in the statistical tables; but these can not reveal all the increase. Only ten years ago 81 pages were required to give a complete directory of all our conferences and missions; now, 164 are necessary. Then there were 168 conferences and missions; now, 278. In 1906 there were 3,502 laborers; the last returns, for 1914, show a total of 5,313. Dur- ing the past ten years 976 missionaries (not including children) have been sent into service in foreign mission fields. Necessarily, the larger portion of the directory matter consists of proper names, personal and geographical, some of which may seem pe- culiar, and not to harmonize with one's accustomed ideas in these mat- ters; but they are not necessarily incorrect because of this fact. Forms and usages current in fields in which reports originate have been fol- lowed, notwithstanding the use of forms in certain cases which may seem inaccurate. Thus there will be found proper names without in., itials — relating to certain native workers in India and the Pacific Islands who do not follow such forms. And in the ministerial directory occur addresses beginning with an initial, which abbreviation, coming after the initial of the proper name, seems to imply ari error in punctua- tion. Other peculiarities will be observed, occurring, however, not with- out intention; in some cases proper names have been changed from former spelling, upon request of the worker.
