Map of China FOREWORD THE main aim of this book is to provide a record of the work of British Baptists in China, particularly of those who served there under the auspices of the Baptist Missionary Society during the period 1860 to 1951. In the process of drafting, it soon became evident that if the things attempted and the progress achieved during those years were to be rightly assessed, the story must be told in its historical setting, and that the activities and experiences of our B.M.S. missionaries should be related to the progress of the Christian movement in China as a whole, due consideration being given to the difficulties encountered by missionaries and Chinese Christians during that time. The writer has endeavoured to be as factual and objective as possible in recounting these matters, but he is well aware that in a narrative of this kind errors and defects will be found, and that its tone and colour must inevitably reflect the experience and opinions of the narrator. Nevertheless, it is issued in the hope that the story of the B.M.S. share in the modern Protestant missionary movement in China, may not only be informative, but that it may inspire those who read it to gratitude and praise to God for all that He has wrought through the labours of His servants in that great far-eastern land. In conclusion, thanks are due to the officers and Headquarters' staff of the Society, especially the Rev. J. B. Middlebrook and the Rev. A. S. Clement, for much appreciated help in the planning and production of the book, and to many of my missionary col­ leagues for their valuable criticisms and suggestions. In this con­ nection I would particularly like to mention Mrs. T. W. Allen, Miss D. J. Curtis, Dr. W. S. Flowers, the Rev. A. J. Gamier, vii Vlll FOREWORD who also contributed the map, the Rev. H. H. Rowley and the Rev. F. S. Russell. H. R. WILLIAMSON Sutton, Surrey 9th September 1957 To the sacred memory of the Rev. T. W. and Mrs. Piggott and their son Wellesley who suffered martyrdom for Christ in T'ai-Yuan-Fu, Shansi on 9th July 1900 PART ONE THE MARCH OF EVENTS CHAPTER 1 OUR MISSIONARY HERITAGE (A.n. 735-1860) THE Baptist Missionary Society began work in China in 1860. But from the seventh century onwards prolonged though inter­ mittent efforts to evangelize the Chinese had been made by others. It will be useful, therefore, as a prelude to the story of B.M.S. work in China, to give a brief account of the more important of these earlier missionary enterprises to the people of that great and ancient land. I. THE FIRST NEST0RIAN MISSION, A.D. 63 5-845 The first Christian Mission to China of which there is certain knowledge was undertaken by a strong and zealous missionary branch of the Eastern Church which had numerous adherents in Assyria, Mesopotamia and other countries of central Asia east of the Euphrates. They were branded as Nestorians by the leaders of the Western Church after Nestorius, their reputed leader, had been condemned for heresy regarding the Nature of Christ by the Council of Ephesus in A.D. 431. In China, however, their missionaries were known as preachers of the Luminous Religion (Ching Chiao) and the Church they founded was called by that name. There stands today in the city of Hsi-An-Fu, Shensi, a large stone monument which records the arrival in that city (then called Ch'ang-An) in A.D. 635, of missionaries from Syria led by one Alopen. The inscription on its face includes an outline of doctrine, a reference to the Scriptures, and recounts the history of the Mission to the date of the tablet's erection in A.D. 781. I 2 BRITISH BAPTrSTS IN CHINA It is evident from this, and contemporary Chinese records, that the Chinese emperor, T'ai-Tsung, of the illustrious T'ang dynasty, cordially welcomed these missionaries, and afforded them every facility for the translation of the Scriptures; that he himself studied these, and issued a decree that the new religion was to have free course throughout the empire. It is also clear that this Mission, although it met with persecution at intervals, achieved considerable success for a period of over two hundred years. Monasteries, traces of which have been found in fifteen widely separated places, were established in practically every province. And in 1908 a Christian manuscript in Chinese, of the eighth century, which includes a hymn to the Holy Trinity and a list of thirty-five Christian books, evidently ofNestorian origin, was discovered by Pelliot in a Buddhist grotto at Tun-Huang, in the north-west comer of Kansu province. In A.D. 845, however, the emperor, Wu-Tsung, who was an ardent Taoist, decreed that all monks and nuns of the Buddhist, Nestorian and Zoroastrian faiths should abandon their religious calling, and revert to civil life. According to Chinese records, 265,000 Buddhists and 3,000 leaders of other faiths, of whom a considerable proportion (possibly 2,000) were Nestorians {prob­ ably monks), were affected by this edict. The edict was followed by severe persecution of the followers of the three proscribed faiths, and it would seem that as a result the Nestorian Church lost its identity in China itself, for there are few if any living traces of it there during the next four centuries.1 There is evidence, however, of the survival ofNestorian Chris­ tianity in North Mongolia between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, in the existence of a Christian tribe, called the Keraits, who are known to have become Christian from the very early years of the eleventh century. At the beginning of the thirteenth century, the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan conquered the Keraits and forthwith married his son Tuli to one of their Christian prin­ cesses. She became the mother of three Mongol rulers, one of l The whole subject is ably discussed by Mrs. C. E. Couling in Th Luminous Religion (Carey Press, 19.25), OUR MISSIONARY HERITAGE (A.D. 735-1860) 3 whom, Khublai Khan, became the first Mongol emperor of all China. Although he was an ardent Buddhist, he was tolerant of all religions, except Taoism. These factors contributed greatly to the revival of Christianity in China itself, in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. 2. NESTORIAN AND FRANCISCAN MISSIONS OF THE MONGOL DYNASTY, A.D. 1260-1368 The Mongol rulers of China, being aliens themselves, were friendly towards other foreigners. The Nestorians gained a new lease of life under their regime. Cambulac (the modern Peking), the Mongol capital, was made the seat of a Nestorian metropoli­ tan, and the former bishopric of Ning-Hsia (a section of Inner Mongolia, north-west of Shensi) was revived. N estorians be­ came very influential both at court and in the provinces, some of them attaining to very high and important offices. There were many Christians of Nestorian origin also amongst the foreign soldiers and merchants who came in with the Mongol rulers.

    "HEAL THE SICK" THE STORY OF THE MEDICAL MISSION AUXILIARY OF THE BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY By R. FLETCHER MOORSHEAD, M.B., F.R.C.S. Medical Secretary of the Society LONDON: THE CAREY PRESS 19 FURNIVAL STREET TO MY WIFE AUTHOR'S PREFACE Two years ago, upon the occasion of the celebration of the semi-jubilee of the Medical Mission Auxiliary, the desire was expressed that some permanent record of the twenty-five years should be compiled. The following pages, written as and when they could be in the scant leisure that it was possible to snatch from the demands of other work, are offered in the hope that their perusal may deepen interest in the work of B.M.S. Medical Missions. The very fact that the Auxiliary no longer exists as a specific branch of the Society may be held to constitute one reason why its inspiring story should be recorded ere the ceaseless march of events has caused it to be forgotten. A greater reason may be found in the character of the service which here stands revealed. No finer heroism is to be found anywhere than that exhibited by the lives of mission­ ary doctors and nurses, and for the sake of the younger generation in particular, it deserves to be told. A still further reason may be traced in the need, increasingly apparent, to safeguard the dis­ tinctive work of Medical Missions from being lost sight of in the more general presentation of the missionary enterprise which has become customary of recent years. In a very real sense the place and power of Medical Missions require to be defined afresh in vii viii PREFACE the days in which we live.

In order to ensure competitive advantage, they must be able to promote high levels of professional performance. This research is part of this theme and aims to analyze how the job characteristics, professional knowledge, skills, competencies, training and work engagement influence the job evaluation and, consequently, the performance of employees of six public hospitals, China. The sample consists of 546 subjects aged between 21 and 58 years (M = 37.9; SD = 8.73), with the majority being females (55.5%). For the collection of data, such scales were used as the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS), the Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Personal Characteristics Scale (KSAOS), the Competencies and Training Scale (CTS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The results obtained show that the job characteristics, the professional knowledge, the skills, the training and the work engagement influence the job evaluation. It was also found that the male respondents, those belonging to the older age group, those with higher academic qualifications and those with higher positions present higher average performance in all dimensions under study.

    THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM IN CHINA’S CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES AND ITS RELEVANCE TO CHINA’S UNIVERSITIES TODAY by Leping Mou A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Leping Mou 2018 The Liberal Arts Curriculum in China’s Christian Universities and Its Relevance to China’s Universities Today Leping Mou Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis considers the historical background, the development, and the characteristics of China’s Christian universities, with a special focus on their curriculum design. Through the lens of postmodern theory, the thesis explores the concept and essence of liberal arts education as reflected in the curriculum of the Christian universities through a qualitative methodology, focusing on the analysis of historical archival material. The purpose is to find insights for today’s trend towards reviving liberal arts education in China’s elite universities as a way of countering the influence of utilitarianism and neo-liberalism in an era of economic globalization. ii Acknowledgements The completion of this Master thesis marks the accomplishment of two years’ academic study at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). Along with my hard work, it is made possible because of the insightful suggestions and guidance from OISE's erudite professors and the help and support from family and friends. It is also an encouragement for me to proceed to further doctoral study.

  • Andrew Young of Shensi
    ANDREW YOUNG OF SHENSI ADVENTURE IN MEDICAL MISSIONS BY }. C. KEYTE LONDON: THE CAREY PRESS 19, FURNIVAL STREET TO THE MEMORY OF TWO GALLANT GENTLEMEN : H. STANLEY JENKINS, M.D., F.R.C.S., AND CECIL F. RoBERTSON, M.B., F.R.C.S., Whose passion it was to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ ; whose privilege it was, in His Name, to relieve the suffering ; and who, in prosecuting theirlabour of love, laid down their lives in Sianfu in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirteen. AUTHOR'S PREFACE THE justification for such a volume as the present is to be found in the belief that " the fine is not the abnormal, it is the usual." The thought of' any book written around his life being the glorification of the subject would have distressed Andrew Young greatly, but to its publication he might have at least resigned himself if from a perusal of his story the reader could gather a truer idea of the aims underlying the medical missionary enterprise. The subject of this biography has points of temperament and areas of experience peculiar to himself, yet it is as he is representative that he is most valuable ; and whilst many missionaries fall short of the standard at which he arrived, the reader can yet rest assured that the values in conduct which appear in the pages which follow are not peculiar to this missionary alone. Mission­ aries' faults there are in plenty, easily discovered and described, but the virtues are there also, and, both for the student as well as for the critic of missions, a little honest research in this latter direction will not be time wasted.

Phoebe Chow 3 Abstract Public opinion in Britain influenced the government’s policy of retreat in response to Chinese nationalism in the 1920s. The foreigners’ rights to live, preach, work and trade in China extracted by the ‘unequal treaties’ in the nineteenth century were challenged by an increasingly powerful nationalist movement, led by the Kuomintang, which was bolstered by Soviet support. The Chinese began a major attack on British interests in June 1925 in South China and continued the attack as the Kuomintang marched upward to the Yangtze River, where much of British trade was centred.

  • Chinese: Identity and the Internment of Missionary Nurses in China, 1941–1945
    When We Were (almost) Chinese: Identity and the Internment of Missionary Nurses in China, 1941–1945 SONYA GRYPMA* Between 1923 and 1939, six China-born children of United Church of Canada North China missionaries returned to China as missionary nurses during one of the most inauspicious periods for China missions. Not only was the missionary enterprise under critical scrutiny, but China was also on the verge of war. Three of the nurses were interned by the Japanese in 1941. This study focuses on the pivotal decisions these nurses made to return to China and then to remain there after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, tracing the influences on those decisions back to their missionary childhoods in Henan. De 1923 a` 1939, six enfants ne´s en Chine de missionnaires que l’E´ glise Unie du Canada avait envoye´es en Chine du Nord sont retourne´es en Chine en tant qu’infir- mie`res missionnaires durant l’une des pe´riodes les plus inhospitalie`res pour des mis- sions en Chine.
