Box 127, Madison, NJ 07940 August 7, 2013 Guide to the Microfilm Edition of the Mission Biographical Reference Files Microfilm Edition of the Mission Biographical Reference Files 1880- 1969 35 cubic feet gcah.rg.4642 History Note The Board of Missions continued the work begun in the predecessor denominations of the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, South and Methodist Protestant churches. The agency combined both domestic and international work, and the work, both domestic and international started by predecessor women's groups. The agency was divided into three primary groups: Foreign, Domestic and Women. For more detailed information please refer to the mission agency history. Scope Note The biographical reference file collection was created by the former Board of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Church. The purpose of the reference files was to provide information quickly about either a person related to Methodism, or of interest to Methodism, or about a Methodist bishop or missionary. The missionary reference files often contain genealogical information as well as information about the person's appointment and interests. It appears that the missionary reference files could be used to inform interested parties about a particular missionary. This collection does not contain a file on all bishops or on all missionaries. It is not clear what the selection criteria was. While the files contain information into the 1960s, the bulk of the collection covers the time period 1880- 1930. Arrangement Material has been arranged in the following manner. The collection has been arranged into two series. The first is biographical information on Methodist bishops, and the second series is biographical information on missionaries.

  • 273 Colonial Subalterns of Empire: Australians in India During The
    273 Colonial subalterns of Empire: Australians in India during the movement for Swaraj, 1920 - 1939 Richard Gehrmann, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba1 I do not think it occurred to any of us that we were in India on sufferance, and we should have felt scandalised if it had been suggested that the Army in India was in fact one of occupation. We were still living in a closed an artificial world and we affected to ignore Indian political aspirations ... Major John Morris.2 Introduction In about 1983, I was renting a house in inner-city Red Hill, enjoying the Brisbane share house life described so well in the works of Nick Earls and John Birmingham.3 One of the more eccentric old characters who lived next door was known as Old Jimmy. He was a typical elderly neighbour that young university dropouts (as I then was) would seek to avoid – his conversations were rambling, prone to excessive anecdotes and hard to understand. One evening after work I was caught by Jimmy, who began to make disparaging comments about the propensity of the neighbouring family who managed to somehow keep two goats in their small banana patch. He then recounted a tale of his father who before ‗the War‘ had served in the police in India, where he had met ‗the richest man in the world‘, a miser who had also lived on goat‘s milk and bananas. In the inter-war era here was only one person notorious for both his wealth and for his extreme personal economy who would have matched the epithet of the richest man in the world.

  • Australia's Joint Approach Past, Present and Future
    Australia’s Joint Approach Past, Present and Future Joint Studies Paper Series No. 1 Tim McKenna & Tim McKay This page is intentionally blank AUSTRALIA’S JOINT APPROACH PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Tim McKenna & Tim McKay Foreword Welcome to Defence’s Joint Studies Paper Series, launched as we continue the strategic shift towards the Australian Defence Force (ADF) being a more integrated joint force. This series aims to broaden and deepen our ideas about joint and focus our vision through a single warfighting lens. The ADF’s activities have not existed this coherently in the joint context for quite some time. With the innovative ideas presented in these pages and those of future submissions, we are aiming to provoke debate on strategy-led and evidence-based ideas for the potent, agile and capable joint future force. The simple nature of ‘joint’—‘shared, held, or made by two or more together’—means it cannot occur in splendid isolation. We need to draw on experts and information sources both from within the Department of Defence and beyond; from Core Agencies, academia, industry and our allied partners. You are the experts within your domains; we respect that, and need your engagement to tell a full story. We encourage the submission of detailed research papers examining the elements of Australian Defence ‘jointness’—officially defined as ‘activities, operations and organisations in which elements of at least two Services participate’, and which is reliant upon support from the Australian Public Service, industry and other government agencies. This series expands on the success of the three Services, which have each published research papers that have enhanced ADF understanding and practice in the sea, land, air and space domains.

  • The Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in China, 1848-1886
    Methodist History, 31:3 (April 1993) FROM MISSION TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE: THE WORK OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH, IN CHINA, 1848-1886 MELVILLE 0. WILLIAMS, JR. Background of Foreign Missions in the M.E.C.S. John Wesley's combination of the warmed heart and the world parish gave to the churches following him a great motivation for world mission. This motivation had to survive the traumatic split in the Methodist Episco­ pal Church in 1844 over the slavery issue, the southern section becoming the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (M.E.C.S.). In the division of work and responsibility, the M.E.C.S. was left with missions to Native Americans, slaves, German -speaking Americans and to the poor. These constituted a large home mission field. There were no foreign missions. This lack greatly distressed many in the southern church. Their thoughts and concerns were best set forth by Dr. William M. Wightman, Editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, Charleston, S.C., in a ringing editorial in that paper, September 5, 1845, "A Mission to China." He wrote of the need and the opportunity-five treaty ports had just been opened to foreigners- and he called for action, including mission volunteers. Many readers were deeply moved, but none more so than was Benjamin Jenkins, a well-educated printer who was setting the type for the editorial. He knew he was called to service in China. He offered himself and was ready to go as opportunity developed. 1 The other volunteer was Charles Taylor, M.D., of New York state, a graduate of New York University, with additional medical studies in Philadelphia, where he received his medical degree.
