Excerpt from The Story of the American Board: An Account of the First Hundred Years of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions Even within these bounds it has been a difficult task to keep the story down. Only the more striking or instructive events could be at all dwelt upon. The labor of many stead fast years and the careers of noble and influential missionaries have Often been compressed into a sentence or omitted alto gether as like what had been already related of other lands or of other lives. Having always in mind the reader with but general and remote knowledge of the mission field, it seemed best to fix attention on selected scenes, typical, significant, or inspiring; to attempt a more comprehensive and balanced account might rather distract and confuse.

Excerpt from The Story of the American Board's Mission in Japan: 1869-1899 OF the enthusiastic devotion shown in the 16th century by Xavier, the great Jesuit missionary, and his successors we cannot write. Nor can we do more than refer to their successes, by which hundreds of thousands, or according to the doubtless exaggerated estimates of the Japanese, two millions of converts, were won to' the church. But as bearing upon the work of later years, and so upon the purpose of this sketch, brief reference to the suppressive efforts of the Japanese authorities seems called for.

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was the country's first creator of overseas Christian missions. Founded in 1810 and supported by a coalition of Calvinist denominations, the ABCFM established the first American missions in India, China, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and many other places. It was America's largest missionary organization in the nineteenth century, and its influence was immense. Its missionaries established the first Western schools and hospitals in many parts of the world, and they successfully promoted women's rights and other ideals from the Enlightenment. They also transformed oral languages such as Zulu, Hawaiian, and Cherokee into written form, and they preserved many elements of premodern cultures (albeit not always intentionally). The contributors to this book provide valuable insights on the work of the ABCFM (which exists today under a different name). Some of the contributors profile the lives of notable ABCFM missionaries, others focus on ideological shifts within the Board, and still others chronicle the Board's role in historic events, including the Opium Wars, the colonization of Hawai'i, and the Armenian Genocide. From reading this book, people will come to understand why the ABCFM is widely viewed as America's most historically significant missionary organization.
