The London Missionary Society The London Missionary Society was formally established in September 1795 by a group of Presbyterian clergy and laymen, during the period of revival of evangelism among the Protestants. The aim and purpose of the London Missionary Society in teaching the Indians English was to evangelize the heathens and teach them English and this process also gradually and subtly conveyed the underlying message that the English culture and English traditions were superior to that of the local communities. The Society began to acquire more lands for the building of churches and schools and often was able to acquire them at confessional rates on account of being a religious body and this led to the expansion of their scope of influence. www.termpapergenie.com /thelondon.html   (913 words)

The Project Gutenberg e-Book of Fruits of Toil in the London Missionary Society. Among the five hundred missionaries of India, not a few of our brethren occupy a high and honoured place; while in all other of the older Missions the men who with fidelity and zeal have steadily maintained their posts for twenty-five and thirty years are numerous, and are all held in honour. When once the missionary had made it safe, the trader followed with his muskets and powder, his exciting firewater; with his brilliant beads, his gorgeous chintzes, his convenient cutlery; he followed with sugar, and coffee, and tea, which he was willing to exchange for karosses and deer-horns, and cattle; for teeth and tusks of ivory. The total number of Native ordained pastors and missionaries in the Indian Missions of this Society is twenty-eight, of whom fifteen are pastors of churches, and thirteen are employed as missionaries. www.gutenberg.org /files/17115/17115-h/17115-h.htm   (15936 words)
