19351552Los Angeles 1935. Very good. 169 leaves plus 5 leaves laid in. Mimeograph typescript. Folio. Original blue paper folder title printed on cover. Light wear and fading to covers heavier at edges. Contents with minor toning and wear heavier to leaves laid in. Informative manual compiled by a missionary to the Fuzhou Parish in China providing numerous details about membership the Foochow Parish and projects of the mission together with information on the work of the outreach work of the California Methodist Episcopal Church. The work designed to be used with adults interested in missionary work is illustrated with hand-drawn maps as well as small illustrations and Chinese characters. In addition to Christianizing efforts there is significant information on life in Fuzhou such as agriculture climate population handcrafts topography and plants native to the area. The foreword describes the purpose of this volume:<br /><br />"This is not a text book of missions. This unpretentious Manual does attempt to answer everybody's question 'How can I with the resources within reach make our church a co-operating unit of the world parish -- enthusiastically missionary whole-heartedly sustaining the Kingdom of God at its frontier' It proposes to help introduce you to our Parish the Foochow Area and to our missionary co-workers both Chinese and American. . The Manual will not work for arm chair missionaries; it will not substitute for your personal interest. . But to those who with ready will and offered talents seek ways new or old to better fulfill the Great Commission we dare to hope that this simple cluster of idioms may be of assistance."<br /><br />An interesting glimpse into the life of a Chinese Christian parish and the missionary efforts there. One similar item found in OCLC -- prepared by a different person but also on the Foochow Parish -- at the Graduate Theological Union Library in California. books

New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English and Turkish. 136 p. The expected awakening in Turkey: A call to confession for the churches of Turkey.= Beklenen uyanis: Uyanis için Türkiye'deki kiliselere itiraf çagrisi. This country is still the largest 'unreached' country in the world. However, a spiritual awakening in the country is possible and spiritual growth in the church can happen. The Bible is very clear on what needs to take place in Turkey, and the remedy is not difficult. This exhortation is written for the churches in Turkey, it is the single most important document I have ever written, and I truly believe that the life of the church and the nation depends on your individual response to this Biblical mandate, along with the response of your local church, and the churches in Turkey as a whole. Many have wondered if there is a real and present curse upon Turkey. We will look at the one obstacle that is hindering the church from spiritual and numerical growth and God's remedy to lift this apparent curse.

With 32 full=page woodblock plates printed in color. Oblong 4to original printed wrappers sewn spine soiling minor repairs.</p><p>The author Chou Han is described by the translator Griffith John 1831-1912 as 'a gentleman of high official rank Taotai in Hunan' and was part of an orchestrated propaganda campaign aimed at discouraging Western Christian missionaries from working and traveling in China. This volume was perhaps his most significant and horrific attack on western culture managing a "reptile press" in Hunan creating unrest and distrust amongst the Chinese people see John's "A Voice from China" 1907 p. 220. Chou Han himself is probably represented in plates IX XIII XXVI and XXIX; the images are virulently anti-foreigner and specifically anti-Christian. John translated and circulated the present work to draw attention to the British authorities of the problems faced by missionaries in Asia. </p><p>Very Rare.
