STEVENSON For :fifty years a member of the China Inland Mission, and for nearly thirty years its Deputy-Director in China. HAVING through the providence of God been closely associ­ ated with most of the events recorded in this Jubilee Story, I gladly respond to the invitation to write a short Foreword. No devout and thoughtful Christian can read these chapters, setting forth the main facts relating to the progress of the evangelization of China by the China Inland Mission, without being impressed by the unmistakable evidence of the presence and guidance of God. The record of what has been accomplished by faith and prayer is calculated to stimulate and encourage men and women everywhere more fully to trust God in all circumstances. It should be a help to the spiritual life of God's children, and lead to an increase of intercession, service, and sacrifice for the extension of the Lord's dominion over the hearts and lives of the millions of China still uninfluenced by the Gospel. The instances of privation gladly borne, and of the lives laid down for Christ's sake will move the sympathetic reader, and he will recognize that God's seal and special honour have been graciously bestowed upon the Mission. And as he ponders the long list of the beloved workers who have joined the noble army of martyrs, he will feel that a peculiar solemnity and sacredness is given to the whole record. While there is cause for thankfulness for what has been vii viii THE JUBILEE STORY achieved, the fact nevertheless remains, that the great task of evangelizing China is only at its beginning. To God be all the glory for what has been accomplished, and may this record of His dealings with the China Inland Mission be blessed of Him to lay the burden of the unreached millions upon the hearts and consciences of His people. J. w. s. CHINA INLAND MISSION, SHANGHAI, january 13, I915. AUTHOR'S PREFACE Tw~NTY-ONE years have passed since the publication of Mrs. Howard Taylor's Story of the China Inland Mission. The rapidity with which events have moved, and the far­ reaching developments which have taken place since then have, for some time, made an up-to-date statement of the work a real need. The celebration of the Mission's Jubilee this year emphasizes this need, and is the raison d' etre of the present volume . The publication in I9II of Hudson Taylor in Early Years, and the knowledge that the second volume of Mr. Taylor's life is in course of preparation, have governed the scope of this Jubilee Story. The aim has been to present a brief survey of the whole work which can be supplemented by the other books. Many separate chapters and portions have been read by those specially qualified to offer criticism, and the whole of the unrevised manuscript has been submitted to Mr. D. E. Hoste, the General Director; the Rev. J. W. Stevenson, the Deputy-Director in China; and Mr. James Stark, the Secretary in Shanghai. The author, none the less, accepts full responsibility for the book in its present form, while gratefully acknowledging the valuable sugges­ tions received. The wealth of photographs has been a source of embarrass­ ment, for almost any basis of selection has appeared open to criticism. The line adopted. after much thought, has been to give a fairly complete set of portraits of those who have had a distinguished part, either in laying the foundations of the Mission or in opening up the formerly unoccupied provinces. Apart from the two groups of the first North American and first Australasian contingents, and three other notable ix X THE JUBILEE STORY exceptions, no portraits have been reproduced of any who joined the Mission later than the seventies. It may be worth while to call attention to the fact that portraits of all the women who :first entered the nine unoccupied in­ land provinces are included. The author had hoped to publish almost simultaneously, as a special volume, the Annual Report for rgrs, giving for this Jubilee Year a brief history of every central station, instead of the usual yearly record of work done. In view of the War, and the large amount of valuable material which the workers at the stations have kindly supplied, it has seemed well to postpone this Historical Report until next year. When it is published it will, it is hoped, prove a useful addition to the present volume. The obligations of the author are many, and to all who have kindly given assistance he returns sincere and grateful thanks. Special help has been given by Mr. J. J. Coulthard during his furlough, and by Mr. T. W. Goodall, the author's esteemed editorial colleague, who has prepared the Index. Few can be more conscious than the writer of the limita­ tions and defects of the book. Many readers will, it is feared, seek for what will not be found within these pages. Will such disappointed friends remember that drastic con­ densation has been a matter of necessity and not of choice ? The story of the opening up of China, of the evangelization of its provinces, and of the Divine mercy and providential love which have encompassed the work, is so uplifting and vast, that the author has felt as though he were, to adopt a phrase of Horace, "dwarfing mighty themes." Yet, though this volume is but an imperfect outline, it is hoped that the bare facts recorded, even when stripped of much that could en­ hance their beauty, will appear to the reader, as they have to the writer, as monuments of God's handiwork.

  • Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret
    Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret FOREWORD This record has been prepared especially for readers unfamiliar with the details of Mr. Hudson Taylor's life. Those who have read the larger biography by the present writers, or Mr. Marshall Broomhall's more recent presentation, will find little that is new in these pages. But there are many, in the western world especially, who have hardly heard of Hudson Taylor, who have little time for reading and might turn away from a book in two volumes, yet who need and long for just the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor found. The desire of the writers is to make available to busy people the experiences of their beloved father—thankful for the blessing brought to their own lives by what he was, and what he found in God, no less than by his fruitful labors. Howard and Geraldine Taylor Philadelphia, May 21, 1932 Men are God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men—men of prayer . The training of the Twelve was the great, difficult and enduring work of Christ. It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God—men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it.

There is Gno conceivable situation in which it is not safe to trust Him utterly. Such is the thesis of this book. For six decades the apostle of faith of the last century, George Muller, conducted five large orphan homes in dependence on God alone, neither making nor permitting any appeal to man. Thousands of orphans were given home and education and brought to the Saviour. But beneficent as was this ministry, he did not conceive it to be the primary object of these institutions. To him they· provided a unique opportunity of bringing home to a generation to whom He had become remote, the unfailing faithfulness of God.

  • The Characteristics of Academic History on the Studies of Chinese Islam by Western Academic Circles
    Annals of Language and Literature Volume 4, Issue 4, 2020, PP 24-32 ISSN 2637-5869 The Characteristics of Academic History on the Studies of Chinese Islam by Western Academic Circles Alimu Tuoheti* Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, Japan *Corresponding Author: Alimu Tuoheti, Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, Japan ABSTRACT Western studies on Islam and Muslims in Mainland China can be divided into two parts according to geographical and linguistic boundaries: ○1Research in British and American, written in English; and ○2The European continent, mainly the research written in French, Russian, and German. Regarding the collection of academic achievements in these aspects and the staging of Western Islamic studies, the main purpose of my research is to comment on the key academic achievements in each period. This research mainly deals with the study of Islamic Chinese literature. Generally speaking, foreign scholarly research on Islam and Muslims in Mainland China clearly includes the Uyghur and other Turkic languages and the Hui nationality in Chinese. Due to the differences in history, language and culture of these nationalities, inevitable variations occur in research results and methods. The study of Chinese Islam in Western academic circles can be roughly divided into four stages, which will be discussed in chronological order and its characteristics. BEFORE THE 20TH CENTURY ○1Religious people, including Christian missionaries. Before the 19th century, there was no academic research in today’s sense.

The historical context for this study is North China during the Second World War. It was at this time that the China Inland Mission Schools (Chefoo), a British school for children of Western missionaries and other expatriates, came under Japanese-occupation, and was eventually relocated to a civilian assembly center. (1) These actions of occupation and internment were the external threats to the school's continuity. The war and its outcome meant the end of the British colonial lifestyle in which this school had been established and had existed for sixty-two years. Subtle yet even more damaging threats came from within the internment camp as the once secluded school was suddenly thrust into close contact with people of various backgrounds and beliefs. The purpose of this study will be to analyze how teachers and students responded to these challenges in order to convey and maintain the ethos of their school and culture. 1 Through the use of primary and secondary sources, a panorama of the events that affected their youth is presented.
