标题: 中国只有91名新教传教士
伦敦传道会。他为其他人的工作奠定了基础,将《圣经》翻译成中文,并从事其他文学工作。
他通过将圣经翻译成中文和其他文学作品,为其他人的工作奠定了基础。1821年,他的字典出版了。到1842年为止
但进展甚微;劳动者确实很少,皈依者也只有七人左右。1865年,赫德森-泰勒(Hudson Taylor)先生在一本小册子中描述了中国的状况,题为 "中国。
它的属灵需要和要求,以及过去和现在的宣教工作的简要通知。" 从这本小册子中
从这本小册子中可以看出,当时在中国只有91名新教传教士,他们的位置如下
这些传教士的分布情况如下。直隶,13人;山东,7人;江蘇,15人;浙江,11人;福建,18人;广东,22人;湖北,5人。
约克、坎特伯雷、牛津、剑桥、达勒姆、埃克塞特、林肯、里彭等城市,并表明即使在那时
这些特定省份的大部分人口将完全没有福音。这些省份的
泰勒先生所说的这些省份在精神上的贫乏,如果用图表说明,许多读者可能会更清楚地认识到

1865年的沿海省份和胡平。
芝罘区。山東。江蘇省。
这张图代表了上述七个省的人口,每个方块代表了
为二十五万人。约克(59,596)、坎特伯雷(21,701)、牛津(35,929)、剑桥(40,882)的联合人口。
埃克塞特(47,098),林肯(37,312),里彭(7,390),共计249,908人,或者说不完全是一个广场所代表的人数。
一个广场所代表的人数。从图表中可以看出,每个省有多少个浅色阴影的方块,就有多少个当时在该省的传教士。这就是允许每个传教士有两百五十
每位传教士有25万个。如果很明显,一个传教士不可能接触到一个方块所代表的人数,那么就更能说明,深色阴影所代表的人口比例越大,就越能说明问题。
深色阴影所代表的更多人口将完全没有福音。这就是
这是1865年中国最有利的省份的状况。
在描述了上述省份的状况之后,泰勒先生接着说

"但是,尽管传教士正在工作的这七个省所呈现的景象令人痛心,但是
帝国其他地区的前景则更加令人痛心。在那里,与需求相比,所做的工作很少;在这里,完全没有。
在那里,与需求相比,所做的工作很少;在这里,根本没有任何尝试。" 详细介绍了情况。



London Missionary Society. He laid the foundation for the labours of others by the translation of the
Scriptures into Chinese, and by other literary work. In 1821 his dictionary was pubhshed. Up to 1842
but little progress was made ; the labourers were indeed few, and the converts only numbered about seven. In 1865 the condition of China was described by Mr. Hudson Taylor, in a pamphlet entitled, " China:
its Spiritual Need and Claims, zvith Brief Notices of Missiotiary Effort, Past and Present." From this pamphlet
it appeared that there were but ninety-one Protestant missionaries then in China, and that these were located as
follows : —Chih-li, 13 ; Shan-tung, 7 ; Kiang-su, 15 ; Cheh-kiang, 11; Fuh-kien, 18 ; Kwang-tung, 22 ; Hu-peh, 5. Mr. Taylor allowed to each of these labourers a sphere larger than the aggregate population of eight English
cities, viz., York, Canterbury, Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, Lincoln, Ripon, and showed that even then
the great mass of the population in these particular provinces would be utterly without the Gospel. The
spiritual destitution of these provinces, as stated by Mr. Taylor, may be more clearly realised by many
readers if illustrated by diagrams, as under.
THE SEA-BOARD PROVINCES AND HU-PEH IN 1865.
CHIH-LI. SHAN-TUNG. KIANG-SU.
The diagrams represent the population 01 the above-named seven provinces, each square ^ standing
for two hundred and fifty thousand souls. The united population of York (59,596), Canterbury (21,701), Oxford (35,929), Cambridge (40,882),
Exeter (47,098), Lincoln (37,312), Ripon (7,390), makes a total of 249,908, or not quite the number of persons
represented by one square. It will be seen in the diagrams that there are as many squares in light shading in each province, as there were then missionaries in the province. This is allowing two hundred and fifty
thousand to each missionary. If it is obvious that one missionary could not possibly reach such a number as is represented by one square, it is the more abundantly manifest that the larger proportion of
the population represented by the darker shading would be utterly without the Gospel. This was the
condition of the most favoured provinces of China in 1865.
After describing the condition of the provinces already named, Mr. Taylor proceeded as follows :

"But, deplorable as is the view thus presented by the seven provinces where missionaries are labouring, the
prospect furnished by the rest of the empire is still more distressing. There, but little is being done compared with
the need ; here, nothing at all is attempted." Details were given.
