Low ell . P REFATO RY NOTE . The substance of the f ollowing pages was given to the students of the Theological School of Boston University in a series of addresses in 1 November, 9 04 . The students and others ex pressed a desire to have them in more permanent and fuller form than their notes . They were not t e delivered from manuscript . The task of one writing has been a slow , not only, nor , perhaps , chiefly because of lack of time from the life of a a busy missionary, but because the changes in Chin have been so rapid and sweeping during the last three years that any utterance except prophecy is almost sure to be o u t of date by the time it reaches the American public , unless it is telegraphed and S published in a daily newspaper. -

China and Methodism
NA AND ' METHODISM $B 155 bbfl MES \y. BASilFORD ^ (, THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESENTED BY PROF. CHARLES A. KOFOID AND MRS. PRUDENCE W. KOFOID China and Methodism By JAMES W. ^ASHFORD A Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church CINCINNATI: JENNINGS AND GRAHAM NEW YORK; EATON AND MAINS Copyright, 1906, bv Jennings & Graham PREFACE This booklet is in no sense a history of our Methodist Episcopal Missions in China. It is not even an attempt to express appreci- ation of the splendid achievements of our .missionaries. Full half of the space al- lotted has been taken for a general account of the land, the people, and the religions of China, because interest in and appreciation of our v^ork depend upon seeing our Mis- sions in their relations to the unfolding life of this vast empire. We have simply at- tempted to present such a brief outline as will enable American Methodists to under- stand the problem which confronts us and to make preparation for a suitable partic- ipation in the centennial celebration of the founding of Protestant Missions in China. This celebration will occur in Shanghai, April 25 to May 6, 1907, and American Methodism ought to contribute three hun- 3 4 Preface. dred thousand dollars for the strengthening and enlargement of our work. If the Church at home can only realize that the opportunity which now confronts us in the Chinese Empire is probably the greatest which has confronted our Church through- out her history, the amount will be readily and speedily pledged. For the statements contained in this little book, I have relied upon fourteen note- books, filled with observations made while visiting twelve of the eighteen provinces; upon conversations with several hundred foreigners residing in China from ten to fifty years; upon Chinese Christians, who, when they became confidential, threw new light upon the problems mentioned in the booklet; upon Chinese officials, whose words and acts furnished interesting glimpses of the external life of the em- pire; and upon some seventy volumes on China. -

Thank you for always pushing me, and helping me to achieve more than I ever could have on my own. I have been fortunate enough at Florida State to have two more professors whom I consider advisors as well.
