Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reforming the World offers a sophisticated account of how and why, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American missionaries and moral reformers undertook work abroad at an unprecedented rate and scale. Looking at various organizations such as the Young Men's Christian Association and the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, Ian Tyrrell describes the influence that the export of American values had back home, and explores the methods and networks used by reformers to fashion a global and nonterritorial empire. He follows the transnational American response to internal pressures, the European colonies, and dynamic changes in global society. Examining the cultural context of American expansionism from the 1870s to the 1920s, Tyrrell provides a new interpretation of Christian and evangelical missionary work, and he addresses America's use of "soft power." He describes evangelical reform's influence on American colonial and diplomatic policy, emphasizes the limits of that impact, and documents the often idiosyncratic personal histories, aspirations, and cultural heritage of moral reformers such as Margaret and Mary Leitch, Louis Klopsch, Clara Barton, and Ida Wells. The book illustrates that moral reform influenced the United States as much as it did the colonial and quasi-colonial peoples Americans came in contact with, and shaped the architecture of American dealings with the larger world of empires through to the era of Woodrow Wilson. Investigating the wide-reaching and diverse influence of evangelical reform movements, Reforming the World establishes how transnational organizing played a vital role in America's political and economic expansion.

Book excerpt: The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits PREFACE In locating the Fifth Annual Conference of the Y . P . S. of C. E. at Saratoga, the Executive Committee were influenced by the fact that the work had spread so widely during the past year that it was no longer fair to a large constituency to ask of them to come so far east as the localities where the earlier conferences had been held. Saratoga seemed to be about a central point, as nearly as could be judged. Saratoga, too, was easily reached from all quarters, while, through its almost innumerable hotels and boarding-houses, it offered accommodations for delegates not to be obtained elsewhere. Still, it was with some hesitancy that it was fim1lly decided to hold the conference outside of New England. A wiser hand than theirs guided the Executive Committee in their deliberations, and the success of the conference which has just closed has proved the wisdom of His choice. It had been felt that the enthusiasm and the encouragement attendant upon a large gathering were essential to obtaining the best results from such a meeting. Should we, outside of New England, have an attendance which would guarantee these features? You who were present at Saratoga know how that question was answered. The meetings were held in the Washington Street Methodist Church, that great building erected largely for the conferences of such great bodies as the American Board of Foreign Missions, and all through the meetings of those three days the body of the house was filled with an interested, attentive and enthusiastic audience. Certainly God was very 2ood to us during that convention, and by showing, as we believe, his approval of the cause, has placed the Society of Christian Endeavor in a prominent position among the ranks of the organizations which have for an aim the evangelization of the world. In publishing this report, it is hoped to accomplish a twofold object; lint, to furnish to those who were present at the meeting. a reminder of all that was said and done on that occasion, and, secondly, to give to the many who were unable to be present some of the benefits so plentifully gained by those who were in attendance, that all may partake of 'the blessings. The report is not as complete as we could wish. Several important and valuable addresses it has been impossible to obtain, either from the fact .that they were never committed to paper, or from some other equally good reason. Still, in the main it is correct, and we send it forth with the hope that God, in His goodness and wisdom, will guide this little book where it will carry to its readers, some of the many blessings, the cause of Christian Endeavor has so generously bestowed on at least fifty thousand young people of this and other lands. GEO. M. WARD, General Secretary."
