Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oriental Mission Work: On the Pacific Coast of the United States of America Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Conference: It does not seem best to take time in this paper to present general statistics of Oriental population in the United States, nor of its distribution, nor to discuss the present status of Oriental immigration, the political and economic conditions under which Orientals live, nor the special problems of relation with the white population which are now causing so much and such heated discussion. There are available several elaborate studies of the Orientals in America, and the new census figures when issued will give much more accurate statistics of number and distribution than are now available or could be estimated. Such information would be essential to any new denominational or co-operative program of Oriental missions. But for the present I shall attempt only a report of existing Oriental mission work, its extent, its character, some of its achievements and some conditions that have hindered its greater success, also some neglected regions and some neglected opportunities. Mission work has been carried on for Chinese in the United States since 1852, for Japanese since 1877, for Koreans about twenty years, and for East Indians (Hindus) intermittently during the last seven years. More than one missionary has given continuous service to Chinese missions in the United States for fifty years, as Dr. Gibson of the Methodist Church, whose jubilee of service has just been celebrated, and Dr. Pond of the Congregationalists who has worked even longer. Missions or churches for Orientals are maintained at present by sixteen Protestant denominations, operating either through a general home mission board, womans home mission board (sometimes through both), in one case (Presbyterians, through general and womans foreign mission boards), and through local or district denominational organizations. The denominations reporting Oriental mission work are: Baptist, Brethren, Christian, Congregational, Cumberland Presbyterian, Episcopal, Friends, Free Methodist, Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, South, (Presbyterian in the U. S. A.), Nazarene, Reformed in America, Reformed in the United States, Seventh Day Adventists, and United Brethren. Work is also done by the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and the Salvation Army. Catholics maintain some work, and there are many Buddhist churches, a few Taoist and Shinto temples, and two Sikh temples. Most of the Oriental mission work aided or directed by general missionary organizations is west of the Rocky Mountains, in Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon and California.
