WOMEN AND MISSIONS IN THE Methodist Episcopal Churchy South WRITTEN AND COMPILED BY Sara Estelle Haskin Educational Secretary, Woman's Missionary Council, M. E. Church, South Nashville, Tenn. Dallas, Tex. ; Richmond, Va. PuBLiSHiNa House op the M. E. Church, South Lamar & Barton, Agents 1923 Copyright, 1920 BY Sara Estelle Haskik I 1^ 3 The Missionaries and Deaconesses v^ho have stood in the front of the battle line this book is lovingly and gratefully dedicated FOREWORD. In the following pages the author has set forth merely the outstanding facts in the his- tory of the organized woman's missionary work in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The great underlying purpose, how- ever, has been to state these facts in such a way that they themselves will tell the story of God's marvelous leading through the years. The vision of service came first to a small group of women without means, without ex- perience, and with no authorized channel through which to work; but in less than fifty years their prayers and their small efforts had resulted in the enlistment of over two hundred thousand women and children in the auxiliaries of the Woman's Missionary Society. The ap- peal of one small school in China and the cry of distress sent out in behalf of the poorly paid preachers on the frontier resulted in an organization which in 1920 was conducting well-equipped schools and social-evangelistic centers in the homeland and in seven foreign mission fields. (5) 6 WOMEN AND MISSIONS. The work in the homeland and that in the foreign fields began through separate organ- izations, but as the years passed the vision broadened until the world became one great mission field for which every auxiliary member was personally responsible. The result was the merging of the two societies and a united effort in prayer and giving. It is the earnest hope of the author that this story may fill the heart of every woman who reads it with gratitude to God for the great pioneer women who have made it possible for us of the present day to enter into our won- derful heritage of world-wide service. The story of the work as told in these pages has been gathered from the following sources: The Annual Reports of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society ; the Annual Reports of the Woman's Home Mission Society; the Annual Reports of the Woman's Missionary Council; the "History of the Woman's Foreign Mis- sionary Society," by Mrs. F. A. Butler; the "Life of Miss Lucinda B. Helm," by Mrs. Gross Alexander; and "A Decade of Mission Life," by Miss Nannie E. Holding; also pamphlets entitled "The Story of the Years," by Mrs. R. W.

Have you shut the door to shut the world out and be alone with God? But Jesus taught us to pray "Our Father." It is a collective prayer. With the first word it is no longer an experience of the soul alone with God—the thronging hosts of humanity are present in the room. The need of others for bread takes place alongside of our hunger ; the passionate desires of others to be released from the pressure of evil stand beside our desire to be forgiven for our sins. It is a praj^er of humanity for humanity and for the individual only as a part of humanity. From "Christianising Communitv Life," by Ward-Edwards. (12) BANDING TOGETHER FOR SERVICE. The heroic women who laid the founda^ tions of the woman's missionary work in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, were pio- neers in the faith, leading the generations to follow into fields of service and conquest. As is always true in any great enterprise, the be- ginnings of their work can be traced back to a vision and purpose born in the hearts of a few chosen of God. Service in Foreign Fields. The First Auxiliary. The earliest authentic record indicates that • the first effort to organize and project in the I South an^form of missionary work for wom- / en was undertaken in 1858 by Mrs. M. L. Kel- ley. She was the wife of an itinerant preacher, "l the Rev. John Kelley, at that time located at Bethlehem, Tenn., Lebanon Circuit. The rec- ords show that a missionary society was or- ganized and aid sent to Mrs. J. W. Lambuth for the maintenance of a school she was con- (13) 14 WOMEN AND MISSIONS. ducting in Shanghai, China. Two years later the Civil War broke out, and this initial ef- fort seemed lost in the great catastrophe that followed. But the missionary zeal in the heart of this woman could not be quenched, for after fourteen years had passed we find her living in Nashville, Tenn., and with re- newed effort seeking to make her vision of service a reality. Her son, Rev. D. C. Kelley, D.D., says in speaking of this new society: "In the fall of 1872 the work of canvassing had begun. A good deal of private effort had been made, and meetings had been called in the various churches of the city. The first meeting of the women was on a cold day in November, 1873. The picture is still vivid of / the four women who that day came together, the result of much personal effort by Mrs. Kel- ley and repeated notices from the pulpit by the pastor of McKendree Church. They sat ^ on the ends of the four pews nearest the reg- | ister on the western side of old McKendree / Church. As Mrs. Kelley sat with the list of names she had obtained, waiting, all seemed hopeless. The pastor, Dr. Kelley, entered the church and said: 'Organize your society just as if the house were filled.' Her heart was warmed, and she knelt in prayer. This so- BANDING TOGETHER FOR SERVICE. 15 clety look up the same work in which the original society had been engaged: aid to Mrs. Lambuth's school in Shanghai." Mrs. D. H. McGavock says of this meet- ing, which has since come to be of such large import: "After much thought and prayer, a day was appointed by Mrs. Kelley to meet the women of the Church and bring the subject before them. When the day came the ele- ments of earth, air, and sky all seemed to cast a shadow over the effort. As the wind whirled and the rain poured, the disappointed mother of the movement stood at a window of her I dwelling watching the storm. As the clouds emptied their floods the tears flowed from her eyes on her pale cheeks, but her faith never wavered and her resolve to carry on this work did not for a moment falter. Entering 1 her strong tower of prayer, die committed the I whole cause to her Heavenly Father without^ a moment's fear of the result." After months of delay another effort was made, and at last the desire of the years began to take form. In April, 1874, the Woman's Bi- ble Mission of Nashville was organized, with the following officers : Mrs. M. L. Kelley, Pres- ident; Mrs. D. H. McGavock, Corresponding Secretary ; Miss Lucie Ross, Recording Secre- — l6 WOMEN AND MISSIONS, tary ; and Mrs, T. D. Fite, Treasurer. A vice president and managers, one from each of the different Churches in the city, were also elect- ed. The society had two distinct objects namely, "To send pecuniary aid to the foreign mission fields and to employ efficiently th^ women at home in a systematic visitation and Bible instruction of the poor and destitute in their own midst." This new society thus kept in mind the local! work and revived that which had been begun \ on the Lebanon Circuit—namely, the support \ of Mrs. Lambuth's work in China.

  • Brazilian Images of the United States, 1861-1898: a Working Version of Modernity?
    Brazilian images of the United States, 1861-1898: A working version of modernity? Natalia Bas University College London PhD thesis I, Natalia Bas, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract For most of the nineteenth-century, the Brazilian liberal elites found in the ‘modernity’ of the European Enlightenment all that they considered best at the time. Britain and France, in particular, provided them with the paradigms of a modern civilisation. This thesis, however, challenges and complements this view by demonstrating that as early as the 1860s the United States began to emerge as a new model of civilisation in the Brazilian debate about modernisation. The general picture portrayed by the historiography of nineteenth-century Brazil is still today inclined to overlook the meaningful place that U.S. society had from as early as the 1860s in the Brazilian imagination regarding the concept of a modern society. This thesis shows how the images of the United States were a pivotal source of political and cultural inspiration for the political and intellectual elites of the second half of the nineteenth century concerned with the modernisation of Brazil. Drawing primarily on parliamentary debates, newspaper articles, diplomatic correspondence, books, student journals and textual and pictorial advertisements in newspapers, this dissertation analyses four different dimensions of the Brazilian representations of the United States. They are: the abolition of slavery, political and civil freedoms, democratic access to scientific and applied education, and democratic access to goods of consumption.

  • 89 a Inserção Metodista Em Belo Horizonte, De 1904 a 1910
    A inserção metodista em Belo Horizonte, de 1904 a 1910: o dever do colégio Izabela Hendrix1 Ana Carolina Ferreira Caetano2 Graduada em História - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais - PUC [email protected] Resumo: A chegada de missionários metodistas norte-americanos, após a segunda metade do século XIX, no sudeste brasileiro relaciona-se com a conjuntura política brasileira, em que o discurso de progresso e modernidade torna-se o lema nacional, especialmente após a Proclamação da República. A base deste estudo é a atuação desses missionários metodistas através do sistema de ensino do Colégio Izabela Hendrix, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, construída para ser símbolo da República. Esta abordagem consiste em avaliar o papel desses missionários, que nos finais do século XIX e início do século XX, foram mais do que disseminadores da religião protestante, atuando como educadores e portadores da ideologia norte-americana de educação para civilizar. Sendo a maior representante desse processo, Miss Martha Watts. Portanto, o objetivo central é ressaltar as atuações desses missionários, no processo de inserção do metodismo na sociedade belorizontina. Palavras-chaves: Missionários metodistas, Belo Horizonte, Colégio Izabela Hendrix. Abstract: The arrival of north-Americans Methodist missionaries, after the second half of XIX century, in Brazilian southeast becomes related with the Brazilian politics conjuncture, where the speech of progress and modernity becomes the national motto, especially after the Announcement of the Republic. The base of this study is the performance of these Methodist missionaries through the system of education of the Izabela Hendrix School, in Belo Horizonte city, constructed to be symbol of the Republic.

  • “Os Anjos Do Progresso No Brasil”: As Missionárias Protestantes Americanas (1870-1920)
    SEÇÃO temÁtica “Os Anjos do Progresso no Brasil”: as missionárias protestantes americanas (1870-1920) “The Angels of Progress in Brazil”: North-American Protestant women missionaries (1870-1920) Eliane Moura da Silva* Resumo: Esse trabalho é sobre a relação entre gênero e religião a partir de um estudo de história cultural das missionárias protestantes americanas no Brasil entre 1870 e 1920. Os encontros e desencontros durante as missões religiosas protestantes alteraram trajetórias de gênero num longo e conflituoso processo. As dinâmicas de gênero assumiram formas muitas vezes irregulares: em contato com mulheres nativas, as missionárias tiveram que negociar não somente as relações com suas crenças, seus sentimentos e com as estruturas masculinas de poder, mas também com os conjuntos de regras e restrições que estruturavam suas novas relações nos ambientes em que se estabeleceram. Palavras-chave: história, gênero, missionarismo protestante, Brasil, século XIX. Abstract: This work is about the relationship between gender and religion from a study of the cultural history of the American Protestant missionary in Brazil between 1870 and 1920. The gender dynamics between American missionar- ies and the natives women occurred in different ways: in contact with native women, the missionaries had to negotiate not only relations with their beliefs, their feelings and with the male structures of power, but also with the sets of rules and restrictions in their new relations in Brazil Key words: history, gender, protestant missionarism, Brazil, XIX Century.

    Educadores Protestantes em Piracicaba no final do século XIX: estranhos, irradiadores de luz ou lobos em pele de ovelhas? Thais Gonsales Soares Cesar Romero Amaral Vieira Universidade Metodista de Piracicaba, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação – Piracicaba/SP. Agência de Fomento: CNPq Eixo: 8 - Pesquisa, Educação, Memória e Patrimônio. Categoria: Comunicação. INTRODUÇÃO Na província de São Paulo, nas últimas três décadas do século XIX, em decorrência das dificuldades resultantes dos baixos recursos provinciais para a criação e manutenção de escolas públicas, o ensino primário e especialmente o secundário provincial, foram entregues à iniciativa particular. Neste período, uma das maiores dificuldades da manutenção das escolas, principalmente com relação ao ensino elementar (reduzido às primeiras letras), devia-se ao fato de que as despesas necessárias à instalação das aulas geralmente eram pagas pelos próprios professores, sendo instaladas em sua moradia ou em locais cedidos por terceiros, uma vez que as autoridades afirmavam a inexistência de condições para arcarem com as despesas de imóveis para essa finalidade. De acordo com Haidar (2009), a dificuldade em adquirir o material escolar também existia, devido à insuficiência de verbas e a inoperância da burocracia governamental. A partir de dados extraídos dos relatórios provinciais daquele período, este era o panorama da instrução pública provincial de um modo geral, e a cidade de Piracicaba não fugia à regra. Os dados apresentados pelo jornal Gazeta de Piracicaba1 no início da década de 1880 mostram que a cidade, neste período, contava com seis escolas públicas, três masculinas e três femininas, onze escolas particulares, além de três ou quatro cadeiras criadas em bairros rurais, desprovidas de professores, sendo que o total de crianças que recebiam instrução não ultrapassava a 413 (GP, 03/09/1882, p.2).

  • A Study of Brazilian Cultural Issues and Servant Leadership Model for The
    ABSTRACT A STUDY OF BRAZILIAN CULTURAL ISSUES AND SERVANT LEADERSHIP MODEL FOR THE FEMALE PASTORS IN THE FIRST CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH IN BRAZIL by Miriam Isabel Gallo de Do Amaral The purpose of this research was to learn how cultural issues related to women in Brazil might enhance or hinder their potentiality and hold them back from acquiring the highest leadership positions within the Methodist Church in the First Conference of Rio de Janeiro. This study also explored the level of understanding of female pastors about the concept of the servant leadership model, learning if this model could apply to them more than the classical leadership model in their style of leadership. The study suggested that within the First Conference of the Methodist Church in Brazil the leadership style is changing from the classical model to the one more servant - oriented model. The findings provided a positive insight for further studies into female leadership as well as their vision for the church. DISSERTATION APPROVAL This is to certify that the dissertation entitled A STUDY OF BRAZILIAN CULTURAL ISSUES AND SERVANT LEADERSHIP MODEL FOR THE FEMALE PASTORS IN THE FIRST CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH IN BRAZIL presented by Miriam Isabel Gallo de Do Amaral has been accepted towards fulfillment of the requirements for the DOCTOR OF MINISTRY degree at Asbury Theological Seminary Mentor April 24, 2009 Date Internal Reader April 24, 2009 Date Representative, Doctor of Ministry Program April 24, 2009 Date Executive Director April 24, 2009 Date

  • Os Republicanos Na Piracicaba Imperial E O Apoio Ao Colégio Metodista Piracicabano1 Thais Gonsales Soares2
    Os republicanos na Piracicaba imperial e o apoio ao Colégio metodista Piracicabano1 Thais Gonsales Soares2 Disputas no interior da província: a fundação do colégio e a aproximação do movimento republicano O Colégio Piracicabano foi inaugurado no final do ano de 1881. A primeira iniciativa de abertura de uma escola protestante em Piracicaba é datada de 1879, entretanto, foi somente em setembro de 1881 que a instituição começou a funcionar efetivamente, em uma casa alugada. Cerca de dez meses após o início do funcionamento da escola, a Gazeta de Piracicaba (GP) noticiou os preparativos para a construção de um edifício para abrigar a instituição e em fevereiro de 1883, o jornal divulgava o evento de assentamento da primeira pedra do prédio, nomeado Principal (GP, 29 jul.1882:1; 11 fev.1883:1). Durante a construção do edifício, críticas foram dirigidas à instituição e seus responsáveis pelo padre da cidade. De acordo com a Província de São Paulo, no púlpito da Matriz, o Padre Julio Marcondes teria chamado de “Judas” os pais que entregavam a educação de suas filhas a “verdadeiros lobos de outras religiões, que, encobrindo seus vicios e corrupção com a pelle da ovelha têm-se introduzido n’esta população”, em clara alusão ao colégio metodista3 (A PROVÍNCIA DE SÃO PAULO, 28 mar.1883:2). Vinte dias após o assentamento da pedra fundamental do Colégio Piracicabano, a Gazeta de Piracicaba divulgou a notícia da construção de um colégio católico, também direcionado para meninas, na mesma rua em que era construído o prédio para abrigar o colégio metodista. Tal construção, organizada pelo vigário da cidade, recebeu o apoio de 21 pessoas que se disponibilizaram a contribuir financeiramente com a edificação, de acordo com os agradecimentos publicados na sessão livre da Gazeta de Piracicaba (Cf.
