Excerpt from A Parting Memorial: Consisting of Miscellaneous Discourses, Written and Preached in China; At Singapore; On Board Ship at Sea, in the Indian Ocean; At the Cape of Good Hope; And in England, With Remarks on Missions, &C. &C He humbly prays that the Almighty Father's blessing, and the Power of Christ, may rest on all Christian Churches; and that the Holy Spirit's influences may be abundantly shed down from on high upon all men to the end that all the nations may be turned from darkness to light, and from dumb idols to the living God - that Truth and Righteousness, Holiness and Happiness, may fill the whole Earth.

From 1807, when the first Protestant missionary arrived in China, to the 1920s, when a new phase of growth began, thousands of missionaries and Chinese Christians laboured, often under very adverse conditions, to lay the groundwork for a solid, healthy, and self-sustaining Chinese church. Following an Introduction that sets the scene and surveys the entire period, 'Builders of the Chinese Church' contains the stories of nine leading pioneers: seven Western missionaries and two Chinese. Here wemeet Robert Morrison, the heroic translator; Liang Fa, the first Chinese evangelist; missionary-scholar James Legge; J. Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission; converted opium addict Pastor Hsi, Overcomer of Demons; Griffith John and Jonathan Goforth, both indefatigable preachers; and the idealistic advocates of education and reform, W.A.P. Martin and Timothy Richard. Readers will be inspired by their courage, devotion, and sheer perseverance in arduous work, and will gain a better understanding of the origins of the two 'branches' of today's Chinese Protestantism.
