Note:
The Jesuits failed to convert China because they compromised themselves with idolatry and sinicized themselves. The Inland Mission first aimed at translating the Bible because they could not get inside China. Morrison made great efforts to master the language: he became bilingual more than anyone. In his educational drive he was the main figure, with Milne he was behind the Anglo-Chinese College at Malacca.
