Presbyterian Church in Manchuria. The year 1900 began with more than 27,000 persons on the rolls of the Church, either as baptized members, or as accepted applicants for baptism. Probably half as many more, related to these by family ties, had abandoned idolatry and considered themselves connected in a sort of fashion with the Christian Church. Ten times as many had acquired such an elementary knowledge of Christian doctrine as to lead them to regard it with respect, many of them declaring that Christianity must be the future religion of the Chinese. It has been suggested by some, whose wish is tantamount to a command, that a delineation of the principles on which the work was originated and has hitherto been conducted might be useful to the Christian Church, as a small contribution towards a systematic study of missionary methods.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey into the early days of Christian missionary work in Manchuria, a region that was largely unknown to the Western world in the late 19th century. The author, a dedicated missionary himself, provides a firsthand account of his experiences, offering insights into the challenges and triumphs of establishing a Christian presence in a land where traditional beliefs and customs held deep sway. The book delves into the complex religious landscape of Manchuria, examining the motivations of individuals seeking spiritual solace in Buddhism, Taoism, and even Islam. It reveals how the author, through his own tireless efforts and the dedication of his native converts, gradually established a vibrant Christian community, one that would ultimately thrive despite the cultural and societal barriers it faced. The author's vivid descriptions of his encounters with the local people, their beliefs, and their struggles offer a unique window into a period of immense social and religious change. The book explores how the author and his colleagues adapted the principles of missionary work to the specific context of Manchuria, emphasizing the importance of building relationships, fostering trust, and sharing the message of Christian faith in ways that resonated with the local population. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling testament to the power of belief, perseverance, and cross-cultural understanding, offering a valuable historical perspective on the early stages of Christian missionary work in Asia.
