A work, on a scale worthy of the subject, is in preparation, and may shortly be expected from the competent hands of the Rev. R. Lovett. It is the hope of the present writer that such an interest in the story he has tried to tell may be awakened by reading this volume, as will lead many to study Mr. Lovett’s history who otherwise might not have done so. To enumerate all the writers to whom the author has been indebted for information regarding the various fields of labour would be impossible. Not being able to name all, he adopts the safer policy of naming none. In the Summary, however, will be found a list of notable contributions to English literature in connection with the work of missionaries of the London Missionary Society. Having thus somewhat arbitrarily disposed of his “authorities,” the author indulges in the personal satisfaction of expressing his sense of the kind courtesy and assistance of the Society’s officers at the Mission House, and especially of the Rev. George Cousins, the Editorial Secretary. If he does not in so many words particularly name the compiler of the Index, it is because she desires to be in no way distinguished from himself. There is no dedication: if there were, it should be to all who are young enough to enjoy the perusal of a story which, however well known, can never altogether lose its freshness; and large-hearted enough to be in spirit the true descendants of those “fathers and founders” who dared to believe that there is motive in the simple love of God and man sufficient to inspire even the sublimest Christian sacrifice. In comparison with such motive, the mere desire to enlarge the circumference of any particular denomination seemed then, and seems still, poor and sordid. C. S. H. Kensington, 1894. Story of the LMS v1.qxp:Story of the LMS 14 01 2009 10:29 Page 11 proof-reading draft 11 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION HE issue of a second edition enables me to thank numerous Tcorrespondents for appreciative words and useful corrections. Many of the chapters have now had the benefit of careful revision by competent authorities and the result has been to add materially to the value and reliability of the narrative. The alterations in the text have been considerable, but the statements of fact affected are few. One important one, however, I should like thus publicly to draw attention to. Following Mr. Ellis’s report to the Directors, I wrote that the number of Malagasy Christians was multiplied during the time of persecution by twenty. It seems that Mr. Ellis’s figures are unreliable. He did not sufficiently estimate the number of Christians before the persecutions began, and he somewhat confounded those who were well-disposed towards Christianity with those who were professed and consistent Christians. It is sufficiently notable that, notwithstanding the severity of their sufferings, the number of Christians should have increased fourfold. One of my correspondents is afraid the impression will be conveyed that there was no visitation of the Zenanas until Mrs. Mullens and other ladies started the distinct and definite Zenana work. It ought to he said, therefore, that in connection with the girls’ schools in Bangalore and elsewhere a certain amount of Zenana-visiting was carried on, and this as early as the year 1840, or soon afterwards. Finally, I am sorry that no acknowledgment appeared in the first edition of the fact that the maps were taken from the manual of the Watchers’ Band, the Prayer Union of the L.M.S. Had I been able to include any detailed history of our home organisations, I should not have failed to refer to the extraordinary progress of the Watchers’ Band, which has done so much to cultivate a deeper and devouter interest in the work of our Society at home and abroad.

  • Ancient Magic and Religious Trends of the Rāhui on the Atoll of Anaa, Tuamotu Frédéric Torrente
    2 Ancient magic and religious trends of the rāhui on the atoll of Anaa, Tuamotu Frédéric Torrente This paper is based on vernacular material that was obtained from one of the last of the ancient vanaga, masters of pre-Christian lore, Paea-a-Avehe, of Anaa1 Island. Introduction Throughout the last century, in the Tuamotuan archipelago, the technical term rāhui has been applied to ‘sectors’ (secteurs): specified areas where the intensive monoculture of the coconut tree was established, at that time and still today, according to the principle of letting these areas lie fallow between periods of cropping. The religious reasons for this method have been forgotten. The link between Christian conversion and the development of coconut plantations has changed the Tuamotuan atoll’s landscape through the introduction 1 Anaa is the Tahitian name of this atoll (‘Ana’a). In Tuamotuan language, it should be noted ‘Ganaa’ or ‘Ganaia’. This atoll is situated in western Tuamotu, in the Putahi or Parata linguistic area. 25 THE RAHUI of new modes of land occupation and resource management. In old Polynesia, the political and the religious were intertwined, as well as man and his symbolic and ritual environment. Political and social aspects are studied elsewhere in this book. This essay considers the religious and ritual picture of pre-European life on the islands, and shows how religious concepts influenced man in his environment. The Tuamotuan group of islands represents the greatest concentration of atolls worldwide; they are a unique, two-dimensional universe, close to water level and lacking environmental features, such as high ground, that could provide a place of refuge.

  • Sacred Kingship: Cases from Polynesia
    Sacred Kingship: Cases from Polynesia Henri J. M. Claessen Leiden University ABSTRACT This article aims at a description and analysis of sacred kingship in Poly- nesia. To this aim two cases – or rather island cultures – are compared. The first one is the island of Tahiti, where several complex polities were found. The most important of which were Papara, Te Porionuu, and Tautira. Their type of rulership was identical, so they will be discussed as one. In these kingdoms a great role was played by the god Oro, whose image and the belonging feather girdles were competed fiercely. The oth- er case is found on the Tonga Islands, far to the west. Here the sacred Tui Tonga ruled, who was allegedly a son of the god Tangaloa and a woman from Tonga. Because of this descent he was highly sacred. In the course of time a new powerful line, the Tui Haa Takalaua developed, and the Tui Tonga lost his political power. In his turn the Takalaua family was over- ruled by the Tui Kanokupolu. The tensions between the three lines led to a fierce civil war, in which the Kanokupolu line was victorious. The king from this line was, however, not sacred, being a Christian. 1. INTRODUCTION Polynesia comprises the islands situated in the Pacific Ocean within the triangle formed by the Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island and New Zealand. The islanders share a common Polynesian culture. This cultural unity was established already in the eighteenth century, by James Cook, who ob- served during his visit of Easter Island in 1774: In Colour, Features, and Languages they [the Easter Islanders] bear such an affinity to the People of the more Western isles that no one will doubt that they have the same Origin (Cook 1969 [1775]: 279, 354–355).

  • ABSTRACT Liang Fa's Quanshi Liangyan and Its Impact on The
    ABSTRACT Liang Fa’s Quanshi liangyan and Its Impact on the Taiping Movement Sukjoo Kim, Ph.D. Mentor: Rosalie Beck, Ph.D. Scholars of the Taiping Movement have assumed that Liang Fa’s Quanshi liangyan 勸世良言 (Good Words to Admonish the Age, being Nine Miscellaneous Christian Tracts) greatly influenced Hong Xiuquan, but very little has been written on the role of Liang’s work. The main reason is that even though hundreds of copies were distributed in the early nineteenth century, only four survived the destruction which followed the failure of the Taiping Movement. This dissertation therefore explores the extent of the Christian influence of Liang’s nine tracts on Hong and the Taiping Movement. This study begins with an introduction to China in the nineteenth century and the early missions of western countries in China. The second chapter focuses on the life and work of Liang. His religious background was in Confucianism and Buddhism, but when he encountered Robert Morrison and William Milne, he identified with Christianity. The third chapter discusses the story of Hong especially examining Hong’s acquisition of Liang’s Quanshi liangyan and Hong’s revelatory dream, both of which serve as motives for the establishment of the Society of God Worshippers and the Taiping Movement. The fourth chapter develops Liang’s key ideas from his Quanshi liangyan and compares them with Hong’s beliefs, as found in official documents of the Taipings. The fifth chapter describes Hong’s beliefs and the actual practices of the Taiping Movement and compares them with Liang’s key ideas.

MONDAIN Ancien élève de l'Ecole normale supérieure Vice-Président de VAcadémie malgache Président honoraire de la Mission protestante française à Madagascar EDITIONS DILOUTREMER 100, RUE RICHELIEU PARIS La monarchie hova au cours et à la fin du XIXe siècle a présenté de très singuliers contrastes qui ne la font ressembler à nul autre gou- vernement d'outremer existant alors. A la même époque, en effet, en Afrique ou en Asie, les souverains ou roitelets ou potentats locaux, s'ils avaient conservé des mœurs et des méthodes de gouvernement assez primitifs et s'ils s'embarrassaient assez peu de constitutionnalité, gardaient par contre dans l'étiquette de leurs cours et dans leurs coutumes personnelles ces mêmes mœurs et modes de vie propres à leurs races et à leurs traditions. A Tananarive, au contraire, sur la colline d'Andohala, les rois et surtout les dernières reines de l' lmerina, tout en gouvernant selon les normes d'un absolutisme ancestral que ne tempérait, comme en Europe, aucune concession donnée aux libertés et aspirations de leurs sujets, montraient cependant un souci toujours plus poussé d'adopter l'apparence des cours occidentales quant à l'aspect extérieur, aux céré- monies, aux costumes, à l'apparat. Aussi quoi d'étonnant si les écrivains contemporains qui se pro- posent de narrer aujourd'hui l'histoire des ultimes représentants de la dynastie hova soient attirés tantôt par l'un, tantôt par l'autre des deux caractères spécifiques et contraires de cette dynastie, selon qu'eux- mêmes se sentent plus ou moins politiquement « engagés » dans les actuelles discussions sur les peuples d'outremer.
