| dbo:abstract | Percy Cunningham Mather (Chinese: 马尔昌; 9 December 1882 – 24 May 1933) was a pioneer British Protestant Christian missionary to China, the second China Inland Mission missionary to Xinjiang. Mather was born in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England in 1884, the son of a railway employee and an Irish nurse. Mather went into railway service like his father. In 1903 he was converted to Christianity through the ministry of J. H. Doddrell of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Mather soon became a Sunday school teacher and local preacher. While his ordination was delayed, he learned about the China Inland Mission (CIM) and decided to go to China after assisting his sister financially to get an education. In 1910 Mather sailed to Shanghai, then moved up the Yangtze river to attend the Anqing language school. Afterward he was stationed in Ningguo in Anhui Province. Mather was influenced by reading Roland Allen's book, Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours? and then he volunteered to join George Hunter in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, arriving there in 1914. Until 1926 the two itinerated in Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia. When Mather joined him, Hunter had a work among all the different peoples of Central Asia. Mather joined full heartedly in the work, but his specific focus was towards the Mongols. Quickly he set about learning Mongol, but the only Mongol teacher he could find in the city with extra time was in the local jail. Afterward he produced a grammar, and a dictionary in Oirat Mongolian, as well as a grammar and dictionary of Manchu, but they were never published, and it is unclear what became of the manuscripts. Following intensive medical studies while on furlough in 1927, Mather returned to China to concentrate on medical work as well as on translations, grammars, and dictionaries of Mongolian languages. Mather was caught up in hostilities in China during the Chinese Civil War, and was accused of political intrigue. He died on 24 May 1933 of typhus, during the siege of Ürümqi, when caring for people wounded during the Kumul Rebellion led by Ma Zhongying. He was buried in Ürümqi.

Doddrell 的影响，皈依基督教。不久马之华成为当地的主日学教师和传道人。当他等待按立时，听到关于内地会，决定前往中国。 1910年9月，马之华来到中国上海，然后沿长江到达安庆的语言学校，然后被派往安徽省的宁国。马之华因阅读Roland Allen的书《Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?》受到影响，于1914年，他志愿前往新疆乌鲁木齐，与已经在那里传教十余年的胡进洁（George W. Hunter）会合。此后直到1926年，他们二人在新疆和外蒙古巡回布道，向中亚地区各种居民传教。马之华全心投入这一工作，但他特别关注的是卫拉特蒙古人，很快，他在当地监狱找到了城里唯一的蒙古语教师，利用业余时间开始学习蒙古语。 马之华到新疆以后，勤奋学习当地的多种语言，写成《英蒙字典》（“Mongolian-English Dictionary”）、《蒙古文教科书》（“Mongolian Text Book”）、《满洲话字典与文法》（“Manchurian Grammar and Dictionary”）3本著作。 1927年，马之华在休假期间进修医学，随后返回中国，集中力量进行医疗工作以及翻译、语法、蒙古语辞典的工作。 在中国内战期间，马之华遭到敌视，被指责有政治阴谋。1933年，马仲英穆斯林队伍围攻乌鲁木齐，5月24日，马之华因抢救伤患而死于斑疹伤寒。他安葬在乌鲁木齐东山公墓。 (zh) |
