Excerpt from The Introduction of Christianity Into the Hawaiian Islands and the Development of These Islands Through the Agency of the Missionaries and Their Descendants, 1820-1920The needs of the millions in other lands, who were destitute of Christian teach ing, were frequently presented to the students at South Hadley, and the presence from time to time of well-known missionary preachers, as guests of the college, quickened our interest in the cause.It would be quite impossible for any student of my day to forget a Doctor Cyrus Hamlin, founder of Robert College, Constantinople, Turkey, a Doctor Jacob Chamberlain of India, or a Doctor Andrew Murray, founder of the Huguenot College and Seminaries of South Africa. These were all men of great and varied activities, deep piety and impressive personality.Gifted women likewise presented the claims of the foreign work in a manner to engage our interest therein, among the number, Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick, distinguished educator, and founder of the International Institute for Girls in Spain.Coming to my own generation, I viewed with great interest the splendid achieve ments of that missionary-educator, Doctor Howard S. Bliss, whose death, hastened by the exigencies incident to the \vorld War, occurred in 1920 in the Adirondacks, his name was often mentioned during my student days at Mount Holyoke, as he was a friend of my roommate, who was also of a well-known missionary family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
