Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Prospectus of the International Institute of China: Or, the Mission Among the Higher Classes in China To every American who, actuated by a spirit of magnanimity, conciliation, and broad humanitarianism, seeks for immediate and effective connection with the men and women of greatest influence throughout China - for every one who prays for peace in the Far East, and thereby for the peace of the world - The International Institute of China commends itself as a scheme for consideration, as a field for usefulness, and as an opportunity for generosity. Historical Outline. - The idea originated in experience, circumstances, and conditions peculiar to China; it is no outside excrescence, has won its way by no foreign interference, and has never been dominated from abroad, but by responsible men on the ground - representatives of all nationalities and all creeds. The idea was evolved after ten years of missionary work by an American Presbyterian missionary, the Rev. Gilbert Reid, D.D. As the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions did not, at the time, see its way to undertake or countenance the plan originally contemplated in connection with the upper classes of China, but preferred that such work be attempted independent of their control and support, Dr. Reid, in May, 1894, withdrew from the Board, and ventured upon an individual experiment. Thence resulted what has been known as The Mission among the Higher Classes in China, and later, in 1897, The International Institute of China. At the outset, there were only some $1,400 in the treasury; since then, in the face of many difficulties and changes, over $100,000 have been contributed to the work.
