CHAPTER VI FIRST TWO YEARS IN PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY JOHN NEVIUS reached Princeton about the middle of December, 1850, when the term had already begun. He found it hard to settle to work, and the first entries in his journal show some discouragement. On the 2oth of December, 1850, he wrote: "Nearly a week has passed since I came to Princeton; and is this week to be an index to my future? I am more idle and listless than I should have supposed possible. I wish I might run the Christian course without needing the lash. God help me to spend my time here so that I may be prepared in mind and heart for the work which is before me, and for heaven, and that I may not have to look back to this period of my life with regret." At the time John entered Princeton Seminary Dr. Alexander, St., was still there--an honor and a blessing to any institution. Dr. Charles Hodge was in the height of usefulness, and other professors were scarcely less distinguished. When John made his first call upon the aged Dr. Alexander he was surprised to receive from him a more accurate and extended history of the Nevius family than he had known before. Dr. Alexander told him of certain families living in the neighborhood who must be related to him, and whose acquaintance it would be well for him to make. On January 10, 1851, he says in his journal: "lintendedto write more about Dr. Addison Alexander's and Dr. James Alexander's lectures. . . . Dr. James has spent some time on 'emphasis and inflection.' I have come to the conclusion that if a person has not enough taste and discrimination to make rules for himself, he will not have enough to apply those of others. They appear to me, with the exception of a few fundamental ones, to be very arbitrary; and I think...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Livingston Nevius: For Forty Years a Missionary in China In early days - more than half a century ago - when North China was closed alike to merchant and missionary, Dr. Medhurst and Mr. Stevens made a voyage of exploration to the borders of Shantung. Cradle and sepulcher of their greatest sage, that province is a Holy Land to the Chinese. What wonder they brought back the tracts distributed, saying, "We have examined your books, and neither approve nor desire them. We have the instructions of our sage; they are sufficient for us"! The wonder is that the experience of later missionaries has been so entirely different. How would those explorers have rejoiced had they seen in vision Nevius and his colleagues planting churches through the length and breadth of the peninsula! Imbued with the spirit of an apostle, and burning to preach the gospel in "the regions beyond," Dr. Nevius was a pioneer in more than one field. In Shantung, the principal scene of his life-work, he was preceded by missionaries of other churches; but at Hang-chow, which has become a mission center of vast importance, he was the first to find a footing - unless, indeed, Bishop Burdon may contest the honour. The war which drove him from that station opened for him the gates of the North. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
