TO HOWARD AND GERALDINE TAYLOR BY THEIR COUSIN AND DEBTOR Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee. Psalm lxxxiv. 5. FOREWORD IN the years 19n and 1918, respectively, the two volumes, Hudson Taylor in Early Years, and Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, were published. Both were written by Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, and both have had a remarkable circulation. Up to the time of writing nearly 50,000 volumes have been sold, and many are the tokens that these books have brought much blessing to the readers. But these two volumes together aggregate nearly 1200 closely printed demy octavo pages, and it has been long evident that a shorter Life, in one small volume, was needed. More than one publishing house has con­ templated the issue of such a biography, and several of these have kindly relinquished the idea of issuing the same, that the book might be published by the China Inland Mission itself. Grateful acknowledgement of this courtesy is hereby made. It had been hoped that Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, the authors of the authoritative work mentioned above, might have undertaken this smaller volume also; but that was not found possible. The one to whom this task eventually fell desires to make full acknowledgement of vii viii THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD the immeasurable help obtained from the larger Life. At the same time, it may be mentioned, original sources have not been neglected. The writer is also most thank­ ful to state that his cousin, Dr. Howard Taylor, has read and criticized, with his accustomed care, the whole of the manuscript before it went to the printer. It is therefore with more confidence that the book is issued to the public, though the writer accepts the final re­ sponsibility for the volume as it stands. An endeavour has been made to present this shorter Life from a somewhat different angle than the larger work. It is divided into three parts; the first, dealing with Hudson Taylor's Birth and Call; the second, re­ ferring to his early years of missionary service, prior to the formation of the China Inland Mission; and the third, dealing with his life as Founder and Leader of that Mission. In the first two sections the story has been told in a straightforward chronological order; but in the third and last section, which occupies nearly one half of the volume, a different method has been adopted. That this small book might be exclusively a study of the man, and that space might be saved by abstaining from re­ telling the story of the China Inland Mission-a story already told more than once-the strictly chronological order has given way to a study of character, as re­ vealed by outstanding acts, significant writings, unique FOREWORD ix methods, and other distinctive features. In all this a chronological sequence has been followed, so far as that was possible, but in a subservient manner. The object aimed at has been to reveal the man himself, and the secret of his success as a leader of men, and as a master­ builder in God's work. To correct any loss that this method might entail, a detailed chronological summary has been given a place in an appendix. This summary will enable the reader, at a glance, to trace Mr. Taylor's movements from place to place, and from year to year. In the study of Hudson Taylor's character the student is greatly assisted by a life particularly rich in action and decisive deeds. "A great act", said the late Professor J. B. Mosley, in his Lectures on the Old Testa­ ment, "gathers up and brings to a focus the whole habit and general character of the man. The act is dramatic. There is a boundlessness in an act. It is not a divided, balanced thing, but is like an immense spring or leap. The whole of the man is in it, and at one great stroke is revealed. Single acts are treasures. They are like new ideas in the people's minds. There is some­ thing in them which moulds, which lifts up to another level, and gives an impulse to human nature. If we examine any one of those signal acts which are historical, we shall find that they could none of them have been done but for one great idea with which the person was possessed, or to which he had attached himself." x THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD There can be no doubt but that Hudson Taylor's acts have helped to mould men's minds, and have given an impulse to missionary activity and methods. They have had an educational value of far-reaching import, and have fructified and reproduced themselves. And there can be no question as to the great idea with which he was possessed, and to which he attached himself. His life was dominated from first to last by his conviction as to the utter faithfulness of God. It is for this reason that the title of this little book has been called: Hudson Taylor: The Man who believed God. MARSHALL BROOMHALL. Midsummer-day, 1929.

I-2I B A SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST CALLED TO BE AN APOSTLE SEPARATED UNTO THE GOSPEL OF GOD Romans i. I I HUDSON TAYLOR THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD "IF Hudson Taylor had not been a missionary", wrote a distinguished editor some time after Hudson Taylor's death. "If Hudson Taylor had been a statesman, for example, there is no doubt whatever, that he would have been reckoned one of the few greatest British statesmen of our time .... If he had gone out to China with money and enterprise and had succeeded in covering that vast land with British traders, as he did cover it with British evangelists, his name would have been as familiar to the man in the street as the name of Strathcona or Cecil Rhodes. And yet his influence in China, and through China on the world, will be greater than either of these two men, and an influence, moreover, that is altogether good." This is a large claim, and some may be disposed to challenge it; but it may be allowed to stand as an illustration of the impression made upon the mind of one not incompetent observer. 'The power inherent in a simple faith, without any accessories or system, remains an awe:.inspiring and tre­ mendous fact", wrote Bishop Montgomery, the Secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, a day or two after Hudson Taylor's death "We can be thank- 3 4 THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD ful", he continued, "for the one deep lesson taught to this generation by the founder of the China Inland Mission, the power of the pure flame of a passionate belief. There is nothing quite like it in the world, and from it have come the great miracles of action in history . The spiritual force has been so great that no Church or denomination can show so imposing a mass of mis­ sionary agents in China as the Inland Mission, with the exception of the Church of Rome, with its four centuries of work behind it." And Dr. Eugene Stock, Secretary of the Church Mis­ sionary Society, when speaking at Hudson Taylor's memorial service in London, said: "I have been thinking of various great missionary pioneers, and I have tried to think which of them our dear friend was like. I have thought of John Eliot and Hans Egede. I have thought of Ziegenbalg, and Carey, and Duff; Morrison, and William Burns, and Gilmour. I have thought of John Williams, and Samuel Marsden, and Patteson, and Allen Gardiner. I have thought of Moffat, and Krapf, and Livingstone; great men, indeed, some of them, as the world would say, much greater than our dear friend. But I.do not find among them one exactly like him, and I am much mistaken if we shall not in the course of years, if the Lord tarry, begin to see that Hudson Taylor was sanctioned, enabled, and permitted by the Lord to do a work, not less than any of them, if indeed, one might not say, greater in some respects." These are great testimonies from men well qualified to speak.

  • 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.

It is an honour for me to welcome, on behalf of this Health Assembly, our first invited speaker, the Eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr Ban Ki-moon.

He has been working to strengthen the United Nations system and he has reached out to foundations, research centres, civil society and the private sector to help build partnerships to advance the cause of global public health. The Secretary-General has been a consistent voice for the health needs of the poorest and the most vulnerable – especially at a time of economic crisis. He has been a leading advocate for women’s health. In the face of the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1) 2009, he has been a strong voice of support for WHO’s leadership and coordination efforts.

    1 AROUND THE WORLD IN 11 YEARS... COMING FULL CIRCLE... Dear Fargo Film Festival Audiences, On March 1, 2001 an intrepid band of film lovers held our collective breaths as we waited for the press to show up for the opening press conference of our very first Fargo Film Festival. The press arrived as did award winning filmmakers Rob Nilson and John Hanson to celebrate the screening of their North Dakota-produced and Cannes Film Festival award winner, Northern Lights. On opening night, March 1, 2011, the Fargo Film Festival again celebrates North Dakota culture, history, and film making with The Lutefisk Wars and Roll Out, Cowboy. Over the years, our festival journey has circled the globe from Fargo to Leningradsky to Rwanda to Antarctica, all without leaving the cushy seats of our very own hometown Fargo Theatre. Some of you have been my traveling companions from the very Margie Bailly Emily Beck FARGO THEATRE FARGO THEATRE beginning of this 11 year cinematic tour.
