Download or read book The Life of Mary Lyon Classic Reprint written by Beth Bradford Gilchrist and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mary Lyon Every book has many authors; the title-page names but one. To all those who in countless ways have furthered the making of this book, I gratefully acknowledge my debt: men and women who knew Miss Lyon personally; their sons and daughters; alumnae of Mount Holyoke and people holding no affiliation with it, some of them concerned with other schools; members of the college faculty who throughout the work have given me so wise a seconding. The warm helpfulness which Miss Lyon evoked in life has met her biographer at every turn. The book is immediately derived from a request made several years ago by President Woolley, voicing a demand that has been gathering force through more than thirty years. In its preparation all known manuscripts bearing intimately or remotely on Miss Lyon's life have been read, but it is not unlikely that some writings exist which have escaped the inquisitor's eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Story of Mary Lyon: Founder of Mount Holyoke College It has been wisely said, that the greatest statues require least drapery. Certainly, the men and women who have been most useful require least eulogy. The object of this sketch is to give in fewest words the essence of a noble life. Miss Lyon's work can be better seen, from this standpoint, in the History of Time than from any former one, and now, as her child, The Mount Holyoke Seminary is rising as a Phœnix from its ashes, it seems desirable that we should review it. President Hitchcock, of Amherst College, assisted by several ladies who had intimately known her, prepared a memoir of Miss Lyon soon after her death. This has been widely circulated and highly prized in America, in England and in some of the islands of the sea. The American Tract Society, in 1858, published a review of this work.

Download or read book Mary Lyon and the Mount Holyoke Missionaries written by Amanda Porterfield and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-10-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American women played in important part in Protestant foreign missionary work from its early days at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This work allowed them to disseminate the Prostestant religious principles in which they believed, and by enabling them to acquire professional competence as teachers, to break into public life and create new opportunities for themselves and other women. No institution was more closely associated with women missionaries than Mount Holyoke College. In this book, Amanda Porterfield examines Mount Holyoke founder Mary Lyon and the missionary women she trained. Her students assembled in a number of particular mission fields, most importantly Persia, India, Ceylon, Hawaii, and Africa. Porterfield focuses on three sites where documentation about their activities is especially rich-- northwest Persia, Maharashtra in western India, and Natal in southeast Africa. All three of these sites figured importantly in antebellum missionary strategy; missionaries envisioned their converts launching the conquest of Islam from Persia, overturning "Satan's seat" in India, and drawing the African descendants of Ham into the fold of Christendom. Porterfield shows that although their primary goal of converting large numbers of women to Protestant Christianity remained elusive, antebellum missionary women promoted female literacy everywhere they went, along with belief in the superiority and scientific validity of Protestant orthodoxy, the necessity of monogamy and the importance of marital affection, and concern for the well-being of children and women. In this way, the missionary women contributed to cultural change in many parts of the world, and to the development of new cultures that combined missionary concepts with traditional ideals.

Download or read book Memoirs of Miss Mary Lyon written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Miss. Mary Lyon: Of New Haven, Conn These Memoirs are not offered to the pious, as affording an interesting variety; or those soul-stirring details, which are found in the life of the active, and successful minister of the Gospel; or of the devoted female missionary. They are merely presented, as the history of an immortal spirit, from its conversion to God, through its progressive course of sanctification, till it appeared prepared by the influences of the Holy Spirit, to join the society of " the just made perfect" in Heaven. Truth has been the aim of the compiler, and no attempt made to extenuate the imperfections, or give undue prominence, to the virtues of the subject of these Memoirs; or to represent her otherwise, than she appears in her own writings, or in the recollection of friends, who still cherish her memory, as the sweet perfume of a precious ointment. Miss Lyon thought herself constitutionally inclined to melancholy ; and those natural traits of character possessed by individuals before their conversion, generally remain afterwards, and are still prominent features. Divine grace gives them new bias, directs them to different objects, and employs them in different pursuits. St. Paul after his conversion, still retained his distinctive, native characteristics. Some of the Reformers, and modern missionaries, furnish examples of the same kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
