living, and with them ten grandchildren. All of my brothers 

 and sisters are living, excepting your Aunt Nancy, and your 

 mother's only sister. This is a wonderful record for which we 

 are thankful. Though separated, we have had intercourse by 

 letter and occasional visit. . . . 



My printed accounts will show [of the missionary move- 

 ment] its progress during the decade 1901—1910. I also sent 

 [you] a similar report for the C L S (Pupil Branch). The 

 figures might interest some of your friends. 



For the C L S, I published in 1900-191 1, in Urdu & Pan- 

 jabi, 95 books, making 221,000 volumes. For the American 

 Tract Society, 84 books & Tracts = 200,000 vols. This totals 

 1 79 books — nearly all new and all produced under my direc- 

 tion — some of them my own and original. In all there are 

 421,000 books & tracts. Add to this: 



2000 copies, Islam in India & the Far East 

 1000 Islam refuted on its oivn grounds 



1000 Present state of Moslem controversy 



1000 " Mohammedan controversy 

 1000 History of the church (Roman Urdu) 



along with numerous articles in American reviews & periodi- 

 cals, and my constant work in editing the Nur Afshan as 

 English Weekly for 8 years and in vernacular Urdu for 1 1 

 years & you will see that I have not been idle. I also compiled 

 & edited the Annual Report for 1 1 years — each of 100 pages 

 in range — and also one vol Cairo Conf Report & one of Luck- 

 now. Pardon this personal history — I have never spoken of it 

 to any one before. 



In my report to Government I showed growth of our Indian 

 Christian community within the bounds of our Mission only: 



In 1901, Organized churches were 20 — in 1910, 25= gain 5 



Meeting places for worship were 38 — " " 82 = gain 44 



Communicant members were 2,083 — " " 5,402 = gain 3,319

&c) were 3,376—" " 10,817 = gain 7,441

These are all included in the Indian 'Presbyterian Churchy 

 which has 14 presbyteries, 5 synods and a general assembly, 

 which Church numbers about 5 0,000 members.
