THE OPEN BOOK The entrance of Thy Words giveth Tight Psalm 119 : 130 HYMN "The Word of God Must Go."—Tune, Diademata, Methodist Hymnal, No. 179. The Word of God must go To waiting lands afar. Till every distant shore shall know The beauty of the star. The flag of God unfurled, Above all storms shall toss Until it signals down the world The meaning of the cross. Go, ye who bear the Word! We'll pray, and strive, and give Till hearts that love had never stirred Shall see the Light, and live. The Word of God must go To waiting lands afar. Till every distant shore shall know The beauty of the star. —Nancy Byrd Turner Copyright, 1927, by Presbyterian Board of Christian Education Used by permission PRAYER O God, our Father, we beseech thee for peace. Bring to an end the present agony of conflict. Cause us to renounce the error of depending on brute force and militarism for ultimate solutions. That peace through love is the only way to ultimate victory, make this clear to our souls. To Thee who answereth prayer miraculously, we give thanks already for the answer to this petition. Finding an inexpressible blessing in so doing, we affirm the faith that this prayer will eventu- ally be carried to realization. Give us new energy, and enable each one of us to go forward, filled with heavenly power from on high. Through the Lord Jesus we ask it. Amen. —Toyohiko Kagaiva WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OFFICERS President Mrs. Thomas Nicholson, 812 Summit Avenue, Mt. Vernon, Iowa.

  • American Protestant Missionaries, the US Legation, and the Chosŏn State
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.17 No.1, Feb.2012) 67 Establishing the Rules of Engagement: American Protestant Missionaries, the U.S. Legation, and the Chosŏn State, 1884-1900 Paul S. Cha* Introduction The phrase “unequal treaties” and term extraterritoriality are evocative, conveying more than simply the stale concepts that treaties are unequal or that foreigners are not subject to local laws. Indeed, observing that nearly alltreaties are inherently unequal, Dong Wang, a scholar of China who has written extensively on the topic of unequal treaties and popular historical memory in China, has noted that during the twentieth century the phrase unequal treaties and term extraterritoriality have served both to refer to China’s history of past humiliation and as a clarion call for various socio-political mobilization projects in the country. 1 Likewise, these concepts hold a degree of symbolic meaning in Korea. In particular, they often refer to the weakness of the Chosŏn government during the “open ports” period, paint a picture of rapacious Western and Japanese nations hungering to devour the peninsula, and serve as harbingers of Korea’s pending colonization and division. To a degree, all of these characterizations are accurate and have advanced our understanding of late-nineteenth century Korea. Two drawbacks of these images and characterizations, however, have been a slowness to interpret this period * Assistant Professor, Samford University 68 Establishing the Rules of Engagement: ~ in a manner that paints the Korean state in terms other than fundamental weakness or decay, and the tendency to view Westerners and other foreigners as simply exploitive actors.

    MAKING COMMON CAUSE?: WESTERN AND MIDDLE EASTERN FEMINISTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MOVEMENT, 1911-1948 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte E. Weber, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Leila J. Rupp, Adviser Professor Susan M. Hartmann _________________________ Adviser Professor Ellen Fleischmann Department of History ABSTRACT This dissertation exposes important junctures between feminism, imperialism, and orientalism by investigating the encounter between Western and Middle Eastern feminists in the first-wave international women’s movement. I focus primarily on the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, and to a lesser extent, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. By examining the interaction and exchanges among Western and Middle Eastern women (at conferences and through international visits, newsletters and other correspondence), as well as their representations of “East” and “West,” this study reveals the conditions of and constraints on the potential for feminist solidarity across national, cultural, and religious boundaries. In addition to challenging the notion that feminism in the Middle East was “imposed” from outside, it also complicates conventional wisdom about the failure of the first-wave international women’s movement to accommodate difference. Influenced by growing ethos of cultural internationalism

  • The Impact of Christianity Upon Korea, 1884-1910: Six Key American and Korean Figures." Journal of Church and State 36:4 (Autumn 1994): 795-821
    Daniel M. Davies, "The Impact of Christianity upon Korea, 1884-1910: Six Key American and Korean Figures." Journal of Church and State 36:4 (Autumn 1994): 795-821. Christianity has had a profound impact upon Korean political and social life. That influence began in the 1600s and continues until the present time.[1] Indeed, Korea has been the only East Asian nation that has incorporated Christianity into the mainstream of its political and social life. This essay deals with the impact of Christianity upon Korean political and social life, focusing upon the work of three pioneer Protestant missionaries and three early Korean converts to Protestantism at the end of the Yi dynasty (1884-1910). That discussion is preceded, however, by a brief sketch of the history of Korea's cultural development prior to the first impact of Christianity in 1600. BACKGROUND ON KOREAN HISTORY Korea has one of the longest continuous histories--at least two thousand years--of any nation in the world.[2] Shamanism has had a vital presence in Korea from prehistory.[3] Buddhism and Confucianism have been firmly entrenched in Korea from about 370 A.D.,[4] while Taoism entered Korea from China around 600 A.D.[5] All the major building blocks, minus Christianity, of Korea's political and social life--Shamanism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism--had been established in Korea by 636 A.D. the time of the Unified Shilla dynasty.[6] As shall be noted below, Christianity's first influence upon Korean society and politics came much later, around 1600 A. D.[7] The secret to Korea's longevityy has been the natural birth and death cycle of its dynasties.[8] Each of the three great dynasties in Korea--Silla (668-935), Koryo (935-1392), and Yi (1392-1910)- -have followed the pattern of birth, a period of creativity, a period of stagnation, a period of decadence, and death.

  • Lunar New Year Macarthur, General Douglas
    894 Lunar New Year The lunar New Year, known as 561, W6ndan, W6ni! or Cbongch '0, is one of the most important holidays in Korea. During this holiday, there are traffic jams throughout the country as people rush to see their family and relatives. On the morning of Lunar New Year, people don traditional dress (hanbok). Various foods and wine are prepared, and then set in front of an ancestral tablet. The table is meticulously arranged according to Confucian tradition; however, many families also have their own traditions governing details of the arrangement. In general, fish is put on the east, meat on the west, fruit in front, rice and soup behind and liquor on the front table. A ceremony is then held during which the male family members pay respect to their deceased ancestors up to the fourth generation by making three full bows. Family members also visit the graves of their deceased ancestors. On this holiday, after cutting the grass from around the grave, they make a simple offering and then bow three times. In addition to paying respect to the deceased, each family member is expected to make two formal bows to his or her elders. According to custom, the elders then give the person a gift of money, particularly if the person is a child. Special foods are prepared for this holiday. In particular, rice-cake soup is typically served instead ofrice. For this reason, the question 'How many bowls of rice-cake soup have you eaten?' is sometimes used to ask one's age. In North Korea and China, mandu (dumpling) soup is often eaten instead.

    Providence and Politics: Horace N. Allen and the Early US-Korea Encounter, 1884-1894 By Andrea Yun Kwon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Paula S. Fass, Chair Professor Andrew E. Barshay Professor Hong Yung Lee Fall 2012 © 2012 by Andrea Yun Kwon All rights reserved. Abstract Providence and Politics: Horace N. Allen and the Early US-Korea Encounter, 1884-1894 by Andrea Yun Kwon Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Paula S. Fass, Chair This dissertation examines the career of Horace Newton Allen, an American physician who became the first Protestant missionary to reside in Chosŏn Korea. It focuses specifically on the initial decade of his tenure on the peninsula (1884-1894), the period when he transitioned from a participant of the Protestant foreign mission movement to a member of the American diplomatic service. These years also comprised the formative era of relations between the United States and Korea. Through a close look at Allen’s work and activities, this study uses his story as window into the broader dynamics of the early American-Korean encounter. In particular, it challenges previous characterizations of Horace Allen as an exemplar of US expansionism, and argues instead that his career was shaped in large part by the divergence in American interests vis-à-vis Korea during the late nineteenth century. 1 Table of Contents Table of Contents i Dedication ii Acknowledgements iii Introduction 1 Prologue: Departure 7 Chapter One: Arrival 14 Chapter Two: Coup 40 Chapter Three: Crucible 61 Chapter Four: Washington 81 Chapter Five: Return 103 Afterword 129 Bibliography 132 i To Hea Gyung Kim ii Acknowledgements I owe many thanks to those who helped make the completion of this project possible.

The Inter-Seminary Missionary Alliance VI. The Call to Korea VII. Conclusion Korea Presbyterian Journal of Theology Vol. 47 No. 3 (2015. 9), 59-82 60 KOREA PRESBYTERIAn JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY Vol. 47 No. 3 Abstract This article discusses the seminary preparation, in America, of the missionaries Horace Underwood (1859-1916) and Henry Appenzeller (1858-1902), both of whom spent most of their adult lives in Korea after their arrival there in 1885. It presents them, in their documented actions and relationships in their seminary years at, respectively, New Brunswick Theological Seminary and Drew Theological Seminary (as it was then called) as being both influenced by, and exemplifying, a spirit of renewed urgency about world mission—a spirit that had begun to manifest itself in American evangelical circles in the early 1880s, and was epitomized in the notion of a “crisis of missions” popularized by the pastor and theologian A. T. Pierson. Both Underwood and Ap- penzeller had direct contact with the broader missionary movement that embodied this renewed spirit of mission, through the then-young organization called the Inter-Seminary Missionary Alliance, the annual meeting of which they both attended in October of 1883, at around the time when they were coming to their decisions to respond to the call to serve in Korea.
