Mateer, D.D., LL.D. I knew Dr. Mateer intimately, corresponded with him for thirteen years and visited him in China. He was one of the makers of the new China, and his life forms a part of the history of Christian missions which no student of that subject can afford to over- look. He sailed from New York in 1863, at the age of twenty-eight, with his young wife and Rev. and Mrs. Hunter Corbett, the journey to China occupying six months in a slow and wretchedly un- comfortable sailing vessel. It is difhcult now to realize that so recently as 1863 a voyage to the far East was so formidable an undertaking. Indeed, the hardships of that voyage were so great that the health of some members of the party was seriously impaired. Difficulties did not end when the young mission- aries arrived at their destination. The people were not friendly; the conveniences of life were few; the loneliness and isolation were exceedingly trying; but the young missionaries were undaunted and pushed their work with splendid courage and faith. Mr. Corbett soon became a leader in evangelistic 9 10 INTRODUCTION work, but Dr. Mateer, while deeply interested in evangelistic work and helping greatly in it, felt chiefly drawn toward educational work. In 1864, one year after his arrival, he and his equally gifted and devoted wife managed to gather six students. There were neither text-books, buildings, nor assist- ants; but with a faith as strong as it was sagacious Dr. and Mrs. Mateer set themselves to the task of building up a college. One by one buildings were secured, poor and humble indeed, but sufiicing for a start. The missionary made his own text-books and manufactured much of the apparatus with his own hands. He speedily proved himself an educator and administrator of exceptional ability. Increasing numbers of young Chinese gathered about him. The college grew. From the beginning, Mr. Mateer insisted that it should give its training in the Chinese language, that the instruction should be of the most thorough kind, and that it should be pervaded through- out by the Christian spirit. When, after thirty- five years of unremitting toil, advancing years com- pelled him to lay down the burden of the presidency, he had the satisfaction of seeing the college recognized as one of the very best colleges in all Asia. It con- tinues under his successors in larger form at Wei Hsien, where it now forms the Arts College of the Shantung Christian University. Dr. Mateer was famous not only as an educator, but as an author and translator. After his retire- ment from the college he devoted himself almost INTRODUCTION 11 wholly to literary work, save for one year, when a vacancy in the presidency of the college again devolved its cares temporarily upon him. His knowledge of the Chinese language was extraordinary. He prepared many text-books and other volumes in Chinese, writing some himself and translating others. The last years of his Hfe were spent as chairman of a committee for the revision of the translation of the Bible into Chinese, a labor to which he gave himself with loving zeal. Dr. Mateer was a man of unusual force of char- acter; an educator, a scholar and an executive of high capacity. Hanover College, of which Dr. D. W. Fisher was then president, early recognized his ability and success by bestowing upon him the honor- ary degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1903 his alma mater added the degree of Doctor of Laws. We mourn that the work no longer has the benefit of his counsel; but he builded so well that the results of his labors will long endure, and his name will always have a prominent place in the history of missionary work in the Chinese empire. Dr. Fisher has done a great service to the cause of missions and to the whole church in writing the biography of such a man. A college classmate and lifelong friend of Dr. Mateer, and himself a scholar and educator of high rank, he has written with keen insight, with full comprehension of his subject, and with admirable clearness and power. I bespeak for this volume and for the great work in 12 INTRODUCTION China to which Dr. Mateer consecrated his Hfe the deep and sympathetic interest of all who may read this book.

Abstract This article depicts the dynamic demonstrations of religions in late imperial and republican Jining. It argues with evidences that the open, tolerant and advanced urban circumstances and atmosphere nurtured the diversity and prosperity of formal religions in Jining in much of the Ming and Qing periods. It also argues that the same air and ethos enabled Jining to less difficultly adapt to the West-led modern epoch, with a notable result of welcoming Christianity, quite exceptional in hinterland China. Keywords: Jining, religions, urban, Grand Canal, hinterland, Christianity I. Introduction: A Special Case beyond Conventional Scholarly Images It seems a commonplace that intellectual and religious beliefs and practices in imperial Chinese inlands were conservative, which encouraged orthodoxy ideology or otherwise turned to heretic sectarianism. It is also commonplace that in the post-Opium War modern era, hinterland China, while being sluggishly appropriated into Westernized modernization, persistently resisted the penetration of Western values and institutes including Christianity.

    INSIDE THE KINGDOM August 2, 2017 the Chronicle Section B – 20 Pages Exhibit on Greensboro families China connections by Joseph Gresser GREENSBORO — The Greensboro Historical Society usually divides its attention between stories about the farmers and artisans who built the town and the folks who came from away to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Caspian Lake. This summer’s exhibit at the society’s headquarters in the old Greensboro Library Building next to Willey’s Store examines a more distant object through the lens of four families that eventually called Greensboro home. “Old China Hands” looks at how those four families engaged with a distant land and gives a picture of some of that country’s most difficult years as seen through the eyes of the folks with Greensboro connections. The exhibit is dominated by a set of four long panels, each devoted to the story of one of those families, complete with photographs showing family members and places in China that were important to them. Artifacts, including Chinese clothing, trophies from sporting competitions held by Europeans in China, and other family keepsakes line the walls of the room. But perhaps the most interesting part of the exhibit is a timeline that A collection of items gathered by four Greensboro families during their time in China surrounds freestanding matches historical events in the U.S. and China panels chronicling their history there.
