pore students, who joytully wclcomcd the 

 party wherever they weut. 



It was rmally decided that the Mission 

 should be planted at Batavia itself. Here 

 there was a small English congrcgation 

 which owned its own church. To these 

 Mr. Denyes was invited to minister. Per- 

 mission was obtained to work in and about 

 the city. And to the Confcrencc session of 

 1906 Mr. Denyes cainc with the extraor- 

 diuary report that during the nrst ycar he 

 had organized three small congregations, 

 had seen many people converted, and had 

 received over thirty into the fellowship of 

 the Methodist Church. Since that time, 

 from his homc in nuitcn7.0rg, Mr. Denyes 

 has continucd his wide range of missionary 

 erTort, and reports the most encouraging 

 opeuings in all directions. Almost neces- 

 sarily he longs for rc-entorccments. And 

 it is clear that the large fruitage of the 

 Mission in the immediate enrollment of 

 numbers of converts must be looked for in 

 Java. The opportunity excceds anything 

 that opens to us in the imtnediate future 

 in Malaysia.
