The Problem stated I Until the year 1866 all Protestant efforts to evangelize China were ·limited to regions near the coast and in the Yangtze I Valley, leaving almost the entire country h$ving never heard the name of Christ. In that year a new society, the China I.nlanti Mission, I under the leadership of James Hudson Taylor, began a work which was I to change the picture of Christian missions in China. 1 This society entered the land with a definite goal and I with carefully laid plans for achieving that goal. 2 The aim of the society grew out of the experience of its founder, Hudson Taylor, 3 I one of the IOOst outstandjng missionaries in the history of the I Christian church. The work of the China Inland Mission was carried • • • • • • I 1. Cf. Kenneth Scott Latourette: A History of Christian Missions in China, P• 382. 2. Cf. Ibid., p. 382. 3. Cf. Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor: Hudson Taylor in Early Years, I p. 292. I I -iv- I I -v- I out as planned and continues to this present t:iJD.e. The Society was I to have eventually' more missionaries than any other missionary group 1 in China, Protestant or Roman Catholic. I .Alloost a century has passed since the founding of the Chin.a I Inland Mission. The world has changed radically in that time. Mis- sions have changed radically in some respects. The China Inland I Mission itself (now having added to its name ttQverseas Missionary Fellowship" ) bas been forced to leave China and has e~tablished work I in other areas. Have there been changes in the basic policies of the I mission or have they remained the same? The aim of this thesis will be to answer this question. I B. The SUbject Justified I Many' lllOVements retaining the names of their founders change over a period of years. It is significant to know whether or not it I is possible in the passing of time for a missionary movement to remain basically the same :in its policies. The China Inland Mission is not 2 I only interdenominational, but international. In addition to this, the I area of service of the mission bas had to be changed completely in the last few years. 3 These factors make the study of policy, in its begin.. I nings and at present, of particular significance. • • • • • • I 1. cr. Latourette, op. cit., p. 382. 2. Cf. M. Geraldine Guinness: The Story of the China Inland Mission, vol. I, p. xi. I 3. Cf. Pushing Back Boundaries, p. 2. I I I I -vi- I C. The Subject Delimited I TO explore all the policies established by Hudson ~lor and those of the China Inland Mission at present in detail is beyond I the scope of this study. The discussion will be lindted, therefore, to those policies which relate universally to a greater or lesser I extent to a.lmost every mission program. I "Present policies" of the China Inland Mission will be de- fined as those policies which are indicated in their publications over I the last ten years. -, I D. The Method of Procedure In qrder to show the extent to which the policies of the I China Inland Mission today are similar or dissimilar to those estab- I lished by Hudson Taylor a comparative study of the two will be made. The first c~pter will present policies of missions as set forth by I Hudson Taylor in his writings and as implied by his life. A presenta­ tion of the policies of the China Inland Mission in its present func­ I tioning will be made in the second chapter. A comparison of the find­ ings of t.he first two c~pters will comprise the third. A final chap- I ter will draw the facts of the study t.ogether in a summary and con- I elusion. I E. The Sources of Dat.a The sources to be used for the chapter concerning James Hud­ I son Taylor will include his own writings, reliable biographical ma- teria.l, and historical data relating to the China Inland Mission. I The sources to be used which concern the China Inland I I I I Mission at present will include the official field manual, yearbooks, I periodicals and pamphlet material of the China Inland Mission, and I books written by members of the Mission which relate to policy.

I I I I CHAPTER I I THE POLICIES OF MISSIONS ESTABLISHED BY JAr1ES HUDSON TAYLOR I A. Intreduction I It would be impossible to discuss the policies established by the founder c£ the China Inland Mission apart from the founder him­ I self. Therefore the first part of this chapter will be devoted to a I consideration of the character of James Hudson Taylor (called Hudson Taylor) .•· himself. The chapter will then move to a discussion of the I principles of operation which were established at the time of the founding of the China Inland Mission and during Hudson Taylor's time I as its director. The type of lO rk carried out in the program of the Mission will next be presented. Finally, there will be a discussion I of the relationship of the Mission to the churches in China. I B.

  • 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.

  • 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. In the 19th century, the ○2Scholars, including Orient lists. development of natural science and the emergence Subsequently, when Western missionaries entered of enlightenment gradually gave birth to social China, they found the presence of a large Muslim science in modern Europe.

REVELL COMPANY NEW YORK, CHICAGO, TORONTO CHINA INLAND MISSION PHILADELPHIA, TORONTO 1908 PKEFACE The object of the following pages is to give in brief outline, not for the specialist but for the general reader, some particulars of the great and rapid movements which are taking place to-day within the Chinese Empire. Nearly every event referred to has happened within the last twelve or fifteen months. This fact alone reveals the rapidity and importance of the changes which are at present in progress. The chapters though only notes are designed to show the claims of China upon the sympathy of those who desire the moral and spiritual welfare of the Empire. If they lead the reader to a more careful and thorough study of one of the greatest movements of history, and to deeper interest in and sympathy with the Chinese people, and to efforts and sacrifice for their evangelisation, the object of this publica- tion will have been realised.

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.

  • Fredrik Franson (1852-1908) Friend, Mission Promoter and Partner of the China Inland Mission
    Fredrik Franson (1852-1908) Friend, Mission Promoter and Partner of the China Inland Mission Hans Ulrich Reifler hansulrich.reifl[email protected] Introduction Franson was a Swedish-American revival evangelist, mission mobiliser, mission founder and missionary strategist who visited more than !fty countries. He lived from 1852 to 1908, was born in Sweden, emigrated to the USA and operated from there. "e importance of Franson for mission history stems from the fact that in the span of only 22 years numerous churches, thirteen faith missions and six church federations emerged as a result of his ministry. 1 His eschatology led to an urgency for Christian mission. Franson also developed new methods of missionary work: follow up meetings in Europe and evangelistic courses for all social classes as an instrument to recruit new missionaries for Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. 1.
