English Presbyterian Mission
[1] The Presbyterian Church of England resolved to establish a mission in China in 1847.Mr. Burns laid the foundation of what became one of the most extensive and prosperous Christian missions in the Chinese Empire.It had several establishments, combining churches, mission houses, hospitals, and schools, and spent money freely in carrying out every department of operation.This Society was greatly aided by a women's association, by which female agents were sent out from England.In 1890 it had one hundred and six stations in China and Singapore, and employed fifteen ordained missionaries and medical workers.
