Isaac Mason

Isaac Mason biography, was a member of the

‘Religious Society of Friends’ initially

Started by George Fox. In his youth,

Mason was a headstrong person

And was difficult to handle.

But under the influence of his fellow members

Of the ‘Religious Society of Friends’

Like Caroline Southall, Mason became a humble

And loyal person.

Biography:

Birth: 1870

Home Calling: 1939

Native Place: Leeds

Country : England

Place of Vision: China

He used to work as an iron molder

In Leeds and did his education during his

Free time. Inspired by Caroline Southall

And few others, Mason offered his services

With the Friends Foreign Missionary

Association (FFMA) to serve in China.

After his marriage to Esther Beckwith,

The couple moved to China in 1894.

There they settled in Szechwan Province

And did pioneer missionary work

In She Hong and Suining. Within few years

Into the ministry, Mason was facing the riots

Of the Boxer Rebellion, which was an uprising

Against foreigners.

Isaac Mason ministry in China

Many missionaries fled their mission stations

Took shelter in other countries temporarily.

But Mason and his wife patiently weathered

The terrible Boxer Rebellion

And also the Xinhai Revolution.

Mason mastered Chinese quickly

And traveled a lot preaching the Gospel.

He was especially interested in the lives of

Chinese Muslims and documented their lives

In detail during his travels.

His documentation became an important

Preparatory material for the subsequent

Missionaries. He translated a lot of

Christian literature into Chinese,

Adapting the Confucian ethical style.

He rewrote Shakespearean stories

With hidden Christian ideas and highlighting

Themes related to Christian ethics,

Such as mercy, forgiveness, and justice.

This indirect approach of propagating

Christian thoughts actually made fruitful

Inroads into the lives of the Chinese.

After 22 years in Western China,

Mason moved to Shangai and concentrated

On publishing his translated works.

He published dozens of Christian books

And pamphlets and helped compile a Chinese

Dictionary of the Bible. After a fascinating

Journey as a missionary and translator,

He was called to Glory in 1939.

Beloved, are you praying and participating

In the Christian translation ministry?

Take away from the article

“Lord, give me the wisdom to appropriately

Teach the Christian values such

As mercy, forgiveness and justice

To my society. Amen!”
