His Promise and Our Pledge
By C. P. BOLLMAN
" I am with you, ever with you,"
This the Master's promise true;
And we daily prove his promise
As our covenant we renew.
He has promised grace and blessing;
We have pledged to him our all,—
Pledged to him our best endeavor,
Answering glad his every call.
And he gives us for our hire
Souls of men for whom,4died,
Stars to shine for our rejoicing,
When th9seg4tes he opens wide,
Then we'll labor On, .nor .f alter,
For he's with us every ay,
Giving grace and light and gladness
As we tread the upward way.
We would hasten, Lord, thy coming,
,
Hasten on.thy work of grace;
For we fain would see thy glory,
Meet and greet the face to face.
PREFACE.
In the present issue of the Year Book will be found many changes
over former issues. These changes are so numerous, cover such an ex-
tent of territory, and are made so quickly, that it is difficult to secure
information as to all, and even when secured, some of the directory
matter is effective for only a short time.
At the time of closing these pages for printing this issue, the num-
ber of conferences, missions, and institutions throughout the various
portions of the field is indicated by the following table: —

'The above figures show that the number of missions has been reduced
by two for the year. This reduction is caused by the union of twelve
former missions in the Pacific Islands into three conference and mission.
groups. Taking into consideration this change of territory, the actual.
net gain in the number of mission fields during the year has been seven.
The year 1916 witnessed a large number of outgoing missionaries to
strengthen fields already entered. The number of missionaries sent out
during 1916 was 147; the number of outgoing workers sent to foreign
fields during the past five years has been 580, an average of 116 per
year.
It has been thought advisable to Omit the statistical tables from
these pages. These figures have already been given general circulation
throughout the field, and during the greater portion of the year dining
Nvhich this book is used, the returns for the following year will be avail-
able.
4(cid:9) PREFACE.
An interesting feature will be found in the survey of the field pre-
pared by those in charge of each field. The reader will find in this
survey a very interesting and authentic account of the work in various
parts of the field as it has been conducted during the past year.
The number of periodicals now issued is 130, and publications of all
kinds are issued in 91 languages and dialects. A list of these languages
will be found on page 215.
