Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the China Mission: Protestant Episcopal Church in the U. S. A., From the First Appointments in 1834 to Include the Year Ending August 31st, 1884 Protestant Christians attempted nothing for the evangelization of China until the commencement of the present century. The first Protestant Missionary to China was the Rev. Robert Morrison, of Morpeth, England, who was appointed by the London Mission ary Society in 1806. In January, 1807, he sailed for Canton by way of New York, reaching Macao in September. Proceeding to Canton, he commenced the study of Chinese, and in the course of his long and arduous labors translated many religious and educational works into that language. His devotion to the cause of christ was productive of important results, and his death in 1834 was sincerely mourned in Christian and in heathen lands.

Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the China Mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U. S. A: From the First Appointments in 1834 to Include the 1892 The cause of Missions in China, which under the guidance of the Church has assumed such important proportions and is fraught with so much of cheering promise, was indebted for its initial impulse to the devoted zeal of the Rev. Augustus Foster Lyde, who, though prevented by his early death from carrying into effect the one great longing of his life - to bear the Gospel tidings to the Chinese - inspired others with an enthusiasm that has, with god's blessing, been the means of kindling in that most ancient of nations a light that is destined to brighten and broaden until her swarming millions shall be brought to a knowledge of the Saviour.
