James Stewart (missionary) : ウィキペディア英語版 | James Stewart (missionary)
James Stewart (14 February 1831 – 21 December 1905) was a principal, physician, and a missionary, both a medical and religious one. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on February 14, 1831. At the age of 15 he decided that he wanted to be a missionary. He became a missionary in February 1865 for the Free Church Presbytery of Glasgow. He was a theological student who also had medical training. Stewart was described by some as “more as a friend than as a doctor” towards his patients. He was also described as “the foremost champion of all that made for the spiritual and temporal advancement of the native races of South Africa” James Stewart focused primarily on South Africa, specifically the Zambezi region. Many people view him as a pioneer in medical missions for his founding of the hospital in Lovedale, starting a medical school, and developing the founding scheme of the ''South African Native College'', now the University of Fort Hare. == Early life ==
Stewart grew up with both his mother and father, but his mother died while he was a teenager and his father remarried. His mother was part of the Dudgeon sept of the Noresmen. His mother was thought to be a major influence in Stewart’s life from whom he received his love and appreciation for beauty. He was a cab proprietor and later ran a farm called Pictstonhill. He was a very religious man and influenced Stewart towards missionary work. Stewart had a desire from a young age to go to Africa. He told his cousin, “I shall never be satisfied till I am in Africa with a Bible in my pocket, and a rifle on my shoulder to supply my wants.”〔 From a very young age, James Stewart knew what he wanted to do with his life: be a missionary in Africa.
