Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneering in Tibet I do remember, however, our arrival in Kansas, when my father, who had gone through in a wagon, came down to meet my mother and us two children. Fred was then just a baby. We lived near Pawnee, in Bourbon County, where I first started to school. After two years there we moved out to Harper County, down by Ruella, where we lived for some five years. During these years I went to school to different teachers. The first school which I attended was taught by one of the home girls, who was only about sixteen years old. She had in school five or six boys who were about ten or eleven years old and who, knowing her so well, were rather hard to control. One day she had told us we were not to go near the creek, which was near the schoolhouse, but five of us slipped off and went in swimming. Time passed very much more rapidly than we had thought during the noon hour, and the first intimation that it was over was seeing her standing on a little rise about one hundred yards from the creek and ringing the bell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Closed Land: A Plea for Tibet It is a far cry - more than 2000 miles - from the Moravian stations among the Tibetan Buddhists of Ladak to the places on the Chinese frontier whence agents of the China Inland Mission are seeking to touch and bless the Eastern Tibetans. A heart-stirring narrative of pioneer toils and trials will be found on pages 84 to 98, and Miss Annie Marston has scarcely given space enough to the noble work done by Mr. Cameron, and by her own sister and her brother-in-law. To Mr. And Mrs. Cecil polhill-turner it has been given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him (and to speak of that saving faith to the Tibetans in their own language), but also to suffer for His sake. Between these extreme posts of the cordon, other Christian missionaries are to be found at points along the borders of Tibet. While serving among the natives of North India, the Agents of the London Missionary Society at Almora, and of the Church of Scotland at Darjiling, have endeavoured to reach the Tibetans by work among the border tribes.

Download or read book The Classical Tibetan Language written by Stephan V. Beyer and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1992-07-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among Asian languages, Tibetan is second only to Chinese in the depth of its historical record, with texts dating back as far as the eighth and ninth centuries, written in an alphabetic script that preserves the contemporaneous phonological features of the language. The Classical Tibetan Language is the first comprehensive description of the Tibetan language and is distinctive in that it treats the classical Tibetan language on its own terms rather than by means of descriptive categories appropriate to other languages, as has traditionally been the case. Beyer presents the language as a medium of literary expression with great range, power, subtlety, and humor, not as an abstract object. He also deals comprehensively with a wide variety of linguistic phenomena as they are actually encountered in the classical texts, with numerous examples of idioms, common locutions, translation devices, neologisms, and dialectal variations.

Download or read book Pioneering in Tibet written by Annie R. Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneering in Tibet I Was born in Egremont, Cheshire, and am the second child in a family of five sons and five daughters. My governesses and nurses say that I was a most troublesome child, and very full of mischief. When about seven years of age, the doctor discovered that I had valvular disease of the heart. Two years later I had an attack of acute bronchitis, when my life was despaired of; and this further affected my heart. Then the doctors advised that I should not be troubled with study, as they did not expect me to live to grow up. So for some years I did much as I liked, until in 1869, when at the age of thirteen, I was converted at a small Congregational chapel in Kingston-on-Thames. I had been in the habit of going to church or chapel; but the only part of the sermon to which I listened was that addressed to sinners, which 1 mentally called my part. One Sunday, when kneeling down as others did at the close of the service, a voice seemed to say to me. "If that is your part of the sermon, it is your men choice, because Christ died for you." I there and then "accepted Him as my Saviour: and on reaching home, 1 took the Bible to my room and decided to follow whatever God should teach me through His Word. Soon I found that I could no longer take rides on horseback with my father on the Lord's Day; and this naturally annoyed him. At the age of sixteen I went to school at Clarence House, Richmond, where I heard an address on Missionary work given by a son of Dr. Moffat, At that time he seemed to think that women were more of a hindrance than a help to Missionary work in Africa. I was longing to be a Missionary; and felt then, for the only lime in my life, sorry that I was a girl. At a meeting held by Lord Radsiock, Miss Enisley (soon after the wife of Dr. Barnardo) placed her hand upon my head and asked me. "When are you going to work for Jesus?" I said, "Now;" and the next day I remember walking through the back streets of Richmond to find some poor person to give ten shillings to; but finding no one, I came home quite disappointed. We had been very intimate with the Enisley family, and the life and work of Miss Enisley made a deep impression upon me. At about eighteen 1 went to a school in Berlin; but after a few months my mother was obliged to fetch me home, as I was again taken ill, suffering from my heart. My parents were then staying at Brighton, and there I began to work for Jesus. I found a poor girl who was dying consumption, and visited her almost everyday. Then I heard of another young girl suffering from cancer, and also visited her. When we moved to London, I began to work in a Sunday-school; and also took a district which had not hitherto been visited. A good part of the day I spent in studying art, being very fond of painting; and for a time I pursued art studies in Italy. Before going to Germany I gave up theatres, because I could not be happy in any gathering where my Lord was not found. And later on, when in London, I gave up going to dances, having ceased to find any pleasures apart from Jesus.

Download or read book Religions of the World 6 volumes written by J. Gordon Melton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 3788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful six-volume encyclopedia provides comprehensive, global coverage of religion, emphasizing larger religious communities without neglecting the world's smaller religious outposts. Religions of the World, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices is an extraordinary work, bringing together the scholarship of some 225 experts from around the globe. The encyclopedia's six volumes offer entries on every country of the world, with particular emphasis on the larger nations, as well as Indonesia and the Latin American countries that are traditionally given little attention in English-language reference works. Entries include profiles on religion in the world's smallest countries (the Vatican and San Marino), profiles on religion in recently established or disputed countries (Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh), as well as profiles on religion in some of the world's most remote places (Antarctica and Easter Island). Religions of the World is unique in that it is based in religion "on the ground," tracing the development of each of the 16 major world religious traditions through its institutional expressions in the modern world, its major geographical sites, and its major celebrations. Unlike other works, the encyclopedia also covers the world of religious unbelief as expressed in atheism, humanism, and other traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unveiling of Lhasa The recent expedition to Lhasa was full of interest, not only on account of the political issues involved and the physical difficulties overcome, but owing to the many dramatic incidents which attended the Mission's progress. It was my good fortune to witness nearly all these stirring events, and I have written the following narrative of what I saw in the hope that a continuous story of the affair may interest readers who have hitherto been able to form an idea of it only from the telegrams in the daily Press. The greater part of the book was written on the spot, while the impressions of events and scenery were still fresh. Owing to wounds I was not present at the bombardment and relief of Gyantse, but this phase of the Operations is dealt with by Mr. Henry Newman, Renter's correspon dent, who was an eye-witness. I am especially indebted to him for his account, which was written in Lhasa, and occupied many mornings that might have been devoted to well-earned rest.
