A Bffiliographical ESSAY on the LIFE, MINISTRY, and IMPACT of WILLIAM LINDSEY WALLACE, M.D A BffiLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY ON THE LIFE, MINISTRY, AND IMPACT OF WILLIAM LINDSEY WALLACE, M.D. Analytical Bibliographic Essay Presented to Dr. Keith Eitel Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary In Partial Fulfillment ofthe Requirements for WCSTU 7604 st 18, 2014 c A BffiLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY ON THE LIFE, MINISTRY, AND IMPACT OF WILLIAM LINDSEY WALLACE, M.D. Establishing the identity of this essay's subject is necessary. Who was William Lindsey Wallace, M.D. and what significant role did he occupy that would merit consideration in the annals of missional historical discovery? An unassuming individual from what was then a small East Tennessee town, Bill Wallace would be the least likely person to become a hero. His servant's heart and unwavering humility demonstrate his greatness. As history unfolded, no person, potential mate, situation, danger, or even the Communist Army would be able to break loose the mortar binding Dr. Wallace to the divine pathway and task before him. His unswerving commitment compelled him to carry out his duties at the Stout Memorial Hospital in Wuchow, China without regard to his own well-being. This underscores the importance of etching this story in the chronicles of time and history. Time is obscuring an accurate presentation of this most significant story. Scholarly materials on this "gentle giant" are limited and difficult to locate. If his life is "legendary," then where is the evidence? A bibliographical essay on materials pertinent to the life, work, and impact of William "Bill" Wallace comes with few thoroughly assimilated resources. Even though Southern Baptists are engaged in a vast process of sending evangelical missionaries in the world, one of its heroes has failed to gamer significant attention in academia. Searches on multiple sites yield only a few articles, one significant book, and some book chapters 1 2 developed out of sermonic presentations. Most scholars developed their positions and presentations as a result of Jesse Fletcher's biography, Bill Wallace ofChina. There are, however, significant materials available in "white" and/or "grey paper."1 There are also untapped living resources yet remaining to be interviewed. Obvious urgency exists since sixty-three years have passed since Dr. Wallace's death. Some people are still living who knew him or were close to him in one way or another. However, only a few remain. One such resource is Gregory Walcott, the lead actor and promoter of a movie chronicling life at the Stout Memorial Hospital while Bill Wallace was in charge. Mr. Walcott, former Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, remains a member of the Actors' Guild and continues to be active in the industry. However, health is beginning to take its toll. This author's telephone conversation with Mr. Walcott's son created more of a sense of urgency in attempts to chronicle Dr. Wallace's influence and motivation for the picture. The movie was produced and released in 1966. While it was not a blockbuster success, it does accurately depict the attitudes and aptitudes of Dr. Wallace. While video quality challenges are obvious, the missional nature of Dr. Wallace's commitment are poignantly captured and presented throughout this project. 2 1University ofNew Mexico website: URL: http://libguides.health.unm.edu/content.php?pid=200149. Accessed August 11, 2014. There is an International Conference on "Gray Literature" where the concept is offered academic validity. In 2012 there was the "Twelfth International Conference of Gray Literature" in Prague. A confirmed definition is offered for academic purposes, "Grey literature stands for manifold document types produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats that are protected light intellectual property rights, or sufficient quality to be collected and preserved by libraries and institutional repositories, but not controlled by commercial publishers; i.e. where publishing is not the primary activity of the producing body." 2A full length copy of the motion picture is available free of charge on the media page at www.wmbc.net. 3 Prior to the release of the movie, Dr. Jesse Fletcher wrote a biography entitled Bill Wallace ofChina. The book details Dr. Wallace's personality and commitment to his calling as a medical missionary. Dr. Fletcher was not only a pastor in Bill Wallace's hometown but also closely affiliated with what was then the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Jesse Fletcher was a natural individual through his associations to write the biography. His research provided an accurate presentation of life at the Stout Memorial Hospital. The book was released only twelve years after the doctor's death, providing a timeline consistent for opportunistic verification regarding the many legendary reports circulating on the subject. The lore surrounding Dr. Wallace continue. A number of missional associates have labeled the book as the most influential project impacting missions between 1965 through 1985. Any understanding of Bill Wallace must include his associates. Robert Earl Beddoe, M.D. was the predecessor to Dr. Wallace at the hospital. It was Beddoe who wrote a letter to the Mission Board requesting a surgeon arriving almost simultaneously with Bill Wallace's letter of interest. God was working. A great resource to understanding Bill Wallace's mentor may be found in Doctor in an Old World: The Story ofRobert Earl Beddoe, Medical Missionary to China. Chapter seven of that book is entitled, "Help Arrives," speaking ofBill Wallace.3 Another evangelistic specialist was Jesse Louise Green. When Dr. Wallace became ill after receiving bad medications, he turned the keys over to Ms. Green. Chronicled in her biography is her fear and trepidation as she assumed that role for a short period of 3Helen Thames Raley, Doctor in an Old World (Waco: Word Incorporated, 1969), 86. 4 time.4 Green Pastures offers a detailed analysis of her entire life including her tenure with Bill Wallace. Everley Hayes was also serving with the Southern Baptist Convention at the hospital. She was allowed to claim the remains. On the occasion of her death, Mark Kelly, writer for the International Mission Board, wrote an article recording her association in Wuchow. 5 Ms. Hayes indicated that the bruises on the body were inconsistent with the story being told of suicidal hanging. The markings, according to her, indicated torture. In an article from the Chattanooga Times she recalled life in the last year of her time with the famed doctor. On Saturday, January 19, 1985 from an interview by Ruth Robinson, the religion editor, she talks ofthe stress and conflicts encountered with the Communists.6 Capturing the essence of who Bill Wallace was and the importance ofhis story primarily requires examination of "white" or "gray" papers. A most significant compilation may be found at Wallace Memorial Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. The church's "Bill Wallace Room" contains artifacts, correspondences, Everley Hayes' personal journal, and some personal effects of Wallace and others associated with him in China. There are personal letters to family, his military service honorable discharge certification, and a plethora of communication and documentation materials regarding his service as a missionary.

D, p. 1. 5 assimilated much of what remains in the materials at the church. In 1987 she notified Princeton University's Missions Department and gave them the information regarding the files and offered access to students desiring to research this subject. In response, Princeton's bibliographer acknowledged receipt and informed Mrs. Powell of their inclusion in the bibliographical materials available regarding Christianity in China. 7 The church offers a tour which includes Dr. Wallace's home church, Broadway Baptist, the train station, the old Knoxville General Hospital where the famous letter to the Foreign Mission Board was penned, and the historical marker at the grave. The tour ends in the Bill Wallace Room for participants to peruse its content. Broadway Baptist, Dr. Wallace's home church in Knoxville, houses clippings and articles from various sources. Meticulous notes were kept and the memory of his work is legendary in that congregation. Unfortunately, a 1965 fire destroyed a significant amount of their collection. Nevertheless, there remains church bulletins, a speech given by Dr. Wallace, and documentation of giving towards his service as a missionary. Another "gray paper" resource providing pertinent information are the archives of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention located in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Wallace served through the auspice of this board from 1935 until his death on February 10, 1951. It is policy ofthe board to seal records for a stated amount oftime following an individual's service. Some of Dr. Wallace's files have been released while others remain classified. There are various dates for disclosure of those files, but the most reliable one is the year 2022. Little explanation is given to why these have been restricted. 7Debbi Soled, bibliographer for Princeton's Libraries and Archives, letter to Jane Powell regarding materials located in the collection of Wallace Memorial Baptist Church, Knoxville, lN.

    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

  • The Western Lives of American Missionary Women in China (1860-1920)
    CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 31, 2014 CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. MALS Mentor: Kazuko Uchimura, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Kate Roberts Hearn was buried in a Shanghai cemetery in 1891, a short four years after her acceptance into the Women’s Missionary Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1873, Charlotte “Lottie” Moon left for a new life in China as a single missionary woman. She served in that country for nearly 40 years, dying aboard ship on a final return voyage to the United States. Both women left their American homes expecting to convert the people of an alien land to Christianity. They also arrived in China prepared to maintain their Western rituals and comforts, which effectively separated them from the Chinese and cultivated a sense of the “Other.” In this way, missionary women came to convert, but were not converted themselves. Missionary communities, specifically missionary women, vigorously sought to maintain domestic and work lifestyles anchored in Western culture. The rise of “domesticity” in the nineteenth century gave women an influential role as a graceful redeemer, able to transform “heathens” by demonstrating civilized values of a Christian home, complete with Western elements of cleanliness, companionable marriage, and the paraphernalia of Victorian life, such as pianos in the parlor.
