Chinese Missionary Document

Chinese missionary and Christian Endeavor document dating to 1900, written in both English and Chinese and bearing numerous autographs. The English portion relates to the National Christian Endeavor Convention for China, meeting in Foochow in April 1900, and sends greetings to the International Christian Endeavor Convention in London.

The document is autographed by several missionaries and Christian workers, including George H. Hubbard, Emily S. Hartwell, Emily P. Kingswill, Mary A. Posey, and Susie M. Burdick. The Chinese-language portion contains additional names written in both Chinese characters and Romanized form.

The English message reads in part that the convention "gladly embrace[s] the opportunity of sending by the hands of Dr. Clark... warm greetings to the International Christian Endeavor Convention in London," followed by wishes for Christian unity and prayers for missionary work in China.

Emily Susan Hartwell (1859-1951) was an American Congregational missionary who spent decades working in Foochow, China, where she became deeply involved in education, women's work, and Christian missionary organizations. George Henry Hubbard was likewise associated with American Protestant missionary work in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Together with the other signatories, the document represents the international missionary and Christian Endeavor movement operating in China at the turn of the 20th century.
