:''For other persons named Arthur Evans, see Arthur Evans (disambiguation).'' Arthur Evans Moule (1836–1918) was an English missionary to China. He was the son of Henry Moule, vicar at Fordington, Dorset, and was educated at Malta Protestant College and the Church Missionary Society College, Islington. ==Missionary in China== In 1861 he went out to China, where he arrived in time to witness some of the stirring scenes of the Taiping Rebellion. He worked in the vicinity of Ningpo in 1861–1869 and in 1871–1876; at Hankow (where his brother George Evans Moule had founded, in 1869, the first inland mission residence) from 1876 to 1879; in Shanghai in 1882–1894; and, after eight years at home, in Chekiang and Kiangsu from 1902 to his retirement in 1910, having been Archdeacon in the diocese of Mid-China for 30 years. In 1890 he was a founding member of the ''Permanent Committee for the Promotion of Anti-Opium Societies''. Fellow committee members were prominent missionaries John Glasgow Kerr MD, American Presbyterian Mission in Canton; BC Atterbury MD, American Presbyterian Mission in Peking, Henry Whitney MD, American Board of Commissioners for foreign Missions in Foochow, the Rev Samuel Clarke, China Inland Mission in Kweiyang; the Rev Arthur Gostick Shorrock, English Baptist Mission in Taiyuan and the Rev Griffith John, London Mission Society in Hankow.〔Lodwick, Kathleen L.

The desire of the missionaries that their ideas be carried out caused them to form "continuation committees" that were assigned tasks to assure that action would be taken on whatever matters had been approved by the conferences. In Chinese he published tracts, sermons, a commentary on the Thirty-nine Articles, "A Letter to the Scholars of China," etc., and in English: *''Chinese Stories'' (1880) * (1891; third edition, 1902) * (1911) *(''The Chinese People: A Handbook on China'' (1914) ) His brother Handley Moule was the bishop of Durham from 1901–1920. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Moule」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
