The objective of this article is to examine the motives of Isabella, her career in India, and the impact of her work on women’s education. It also highlights the facts that Isabella was an extra- ordinary woman and carved spaces for herself as professional, administrator, mentor, and matriarchs, first in her parent society and then in cross-cultural contexts, for which there was no precedent.

It is also a fact that the influences most potent in every life are the lives of others. Vast is the force of example. Compared with it abstract reasonings or philosophical discussions have little weight. Hence the importance of a book like this, which presents in vivid con- crete forms the best religious experiences of a select number of the best minds. Those whose experiences are here set forth were all people of eminence, whose achievements in the world have been very marked, and whose words, therefore, carry the more weight in that they must be sup- posed to know what they are talking about. They were all not only good, but good for something, and give the lie to the frequent sneer, born of ignorance and prejudice, that people who are extremely pious are not practical or efficient or philanthropic.

  • The Holiness Advocacy of Bishops James Mills Thoburn and Francis Wesley Warne of India
    Luther Jeremiah Oconer Ph.D. Candidate, Drew University Oxford Institute, Post-Wesley Group August 12-21, 2007 “FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT”—THE GOAL OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: THE HOLINESS ADVOCACY OF BISHOPS JAMES MILLS THOBURN AND FRANCIS WESLEY WARNE OF INDIA “I heard more about the Holy Spirit in the time I was in India (it was a visit of a few months), than in thirty years from the preaching here in America,” observed one American Methodist minister during a visit to India in 1912.1 Emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit had permeated the life and culture of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) mission enterprise in India—drawn mostly from the wells of both Wesleyan/Holiness and Keswick “higher life” spirituality as suggested in recent studies. 2 It is acknowledged that in the decades surrounding the Indian Revival of 1905 there was close interaction between the MEC missionaries, mostly reared in the Wesleyan/Holiness camp meeting tradition, and their Anglican and Non-Conformist evangelical counterparts, who imported with them the teachings of the Keswick conventions from Britain.3 While the dynamics and extent of the coalescing of the two related movements in India is an area yet to be explored, the impact of Keswick spirituality to the MEC mission is an issue that we would like to address in this paper. It is hoped that some illumination may be shed on this by 1 John F. Goucher as quoted in Brenton T. Badley, Warne of India: The Life-Story of Bishop Francis Wesley Warne (Madras: Madras Publishing House, 1932), 17.

Hauck, 2015 Asbury Grove Everybody seems to know where Asbury Grove is located. It is that place at the intersection of Asbury and Highland streets, in Hamilton. “You know, that place across from the low–price gasoline station.” But, not many people really know what is inside the Grove. Some have vague ideas about its history. Isn’t it private land owned by a church? Isn’t there a large swimming pool there? Doesn’t it only have summer cottages? Wasn’t most of it once destroyed by a fire? Can you drive around or are there only footpaths? Let’s take a walk around the Grove and learn what is there today, and what has been there in the past. ___________________________________________________________________________ Treasures of Hamilton History: Asbury Grove Page 2 Asbury Grove campground established in 1859 on western side of Ham- ilton, just off what was then called Topsfield Road.
