    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO “THE SPIRITUAL HUMAN IS DISCERNED BY NO ONE”: AN INTELLECTUAL BIOGRAPHY OF WATCHMAN NEE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVINITY SCHOOL IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY PAUL H B CHANG CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JUNE 2017 For Laura 我妹子, 我親婦, 你奪了我的心 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter 1, Republican China 18 Chapter 2, Fuzhou: Church and Conflict 74 Chapter 3, The Spiritual Human 127 Chapter 4, The Nanjing Decade 169 Conclusion 223 Bibliography 250 Appendix 259 iii Introduction A network of congregations quietly rings the globe, comprised of Christians meeting in homes and unassuming buildings, which usually bear little resemblance to traditional “churches.” A few outward characteristics are obvious. The local gatherings are of varying sizes, from two or three to two or three thousand. Frequently the members share meals together, often before or after services which can be boisterous and participatory. Generally, no pastor, priest, or designated religious officiant presides. As the Spirit leads, different members stand to call hymns, declare verses from the Bible, give personal testimonies, or shout praises to God. But, for all their openness about their beliefs and their tireless attempts at outreach, it can be hard for outsiders to understand who these Christians are. Why do they not join existing Christian denominations? What is the basis for their identity and the institutions they create? When asked, congregants readily and happily acknowledge their fellowship and unity with other likeminded groups from around the world, but they may seem canny and evasive when asked for the name of their local church or the name of the church network as a whole.

  • Willard Livingstone Beard Was Born on February 5, 1865 in Western Connecticut (Shelton/Huntington)
    From Century Farm to Foochow The Beard Family Letters 1892 – 1950 and beyond How This Project Began Little did I know what I was in for… In the summer of 2004, our family drove to Crystal River, Florida to vacation with my husband’s parents, Jill and Charlie Jackson. Jill’s mother, Kathleen Beard Elmer, had died earlier that year at the age of 93 and Jill had a boxful of about 30 letters from Kathleen’s house that were written from China by Kathleen’s parents, Willard Livingstone and Ellen Lucy Kinney Beard, and other members of the family. Being interested in genealogy (and not having much success researching my Smith roots), my daughter, Jamie, and I looked through the letters and tried reading them. We found it challenging, not just because of the handwriting, but because of the age of the letters. And, Ellen had a tendency to write in the margins and every empty space available. We decided that one of us would read the letter while the other typed it up on the computer. In that way, we could save the letter and anyone else could read it more easily. Jill allowed us to take the letters home to Texas and we spent the rest of the summer transcribing these letters onto our computer. (At the time we didn’t realize there were more than 1,300 more letters still out there in various locations!) Thanks to the internet and search engines, I discovered that Oberlin College had some letters in their archives that had been left behind in Tank barn when Ellen went back to China in 1925.

    Library of Congress Personal narrative of a tour through a part of the United States and Canada Painted by W. Gush. Engd. by F.E. Jones. REV. JAMES DIXON D.D. President of the Conference PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF A TOUR THROUGH A PART OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA: WITH NOTICES OF THE HISTORY AND INSTITUTIONS OF METHODISM IN AMERICA. BY JAMES DIXON, D. D. LC LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON NEW-YORK: PUBLISHED BY LANE & SCOTT, 200 Mulberry-street. JOSEPH LONGKING, PRINTER. 1849. F.S R. E 166 II 6 4 ADVERTISEMENT TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. It has not been thought necessary, in reprinting this work, to retain all of Dr. Dixon's quotations from American authorities, in his sketch of the History and Institutions of American Methodism. These can be found much more fully set forth in works easily accessible in this country. Part V. of Dr. Dixon's work, relating to the “Measures adopted by the Methodist Episcopal Church on the Subject of Slavery,” has been entirely omitted. It consists almost wholly of American documents. Personal narrative of a tour through a part of the United States and Canada http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.02988 Library of Congress A few errors, in the use of names, dates, &c., have been silently corrected. Others, of less importance, have been suffered to remain. As a whole, it is only remarkable that Dr. Dixon should, in so short a time, have acquired so just and accurate a knowledge of the topography and geography of the country, as well as of the character and habits of our people.
