1891 THE MISSIONARY HERALD. Complete Year Hawaii, China, Religious Revivals, Islamic Missions, &c.

The official organ of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, this volume records firsthand accounts of critical global developments during a pivotal year, including the ideological friction surrounding the Emperor’s Imperial Rescript on Morals in Meiji Japan, mounting ethnic and religious tensions targeting Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, and international efforts to combat the ongoing East African slave trade amidst the Scramble for Africa.

Beyond geopolitical dynamics, the publication holds historical importance for documenting major social, religious, and educational movements across Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. It highlights groundbreaking social reform initiatives such as Pandita Ramabai’s home for Hindu widows in India, large-scale indigenous religious awakenings like the Telugu mass movement, and the rise of global youth mobilization through the Student Volunteer Movement.
