(Excerpt from Part I, Is the Shang-Ti of the Chinese Class...)
Excerpt from Part I, Is the Shang-Ti of the Chinese Classics the Same Being as Jehovah of the Sacred Scriptures?, And, Part II, What Being Is Designated Shang-Ti in the Chinese Classics and in the Ritual of the State Religion of China Formerly it was considered by some of those who were engaged in translating the Sacred Scriptures into Chinese, that Shangti was a com mon name which fivith more or less propriety, to all objects of worship. It has been so used by some in the translation of the Bible into this language. But the Rev. Dr. Legge, formerly missionary at Hongkong, and now the Professor of Chinese at oxford, has shown with a conclusiveness that utterly precludes all further discussion on that point, in his translation of the Shoo King and the Shi King, that Shangti is the name of a distinct and individual Being, who has been worshipped in China for more than four thousand years, and that Heaven is the synonym of Shangti in designating that Being. Dr. Legge also maintainse with great ability, that the Being called Shangti is the same as Jehovah of the Sacred Scriptures. In Part I, of this pamphlet, I have given the reasons, drawn from various sources, which Show that Shangti is not the same Being as Jehovah. In the second Part I have presented the'evidence drawn from the Chinese classics and other standard writers, from the ritual of the State religion of China, from Imperial Edicts and prayers, that the great object of Chinese worship is deified Heaven; and that Shangti is the designation of this deified object. Hence it follows that Shangti is the name of a false God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Andrew Patton Happer was born on October 20, 1818, in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, United States, the son of Baptist and Ann (Arrell) Happer.
His mother early dedicated him to the ministry, and at the age of eleven Andrew was sent to the preparatory department of Jefferson College. When he was fourteen years of age he resolved to become a missionary, and, to prepare for that profession, after graduating from Jefferson (1835) and teaching five years, he studied theology in the Western Theological Seminary, 1840-1843. Having begun the study of medicine while still in theological school, in 1843 he went to Philadelphia to complete his medical course and in 1844 graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with the degree of M. D.
After first preferring India as a field for his life work, Andrew Happer finally chose China, then being partially opened to Protestant missionary efforts by the treaties of 1842 and 1844. He was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry April 23, 1844, and in June of that year sailed for China, arriving late in October. For the first three years he spent most of his time in Macao, but in 1847 he was able to effect a residence in the suburbs of Canton, and that city henceforth became the center of his labors. For several years he engaged in preaching and in school and medical work. With the arrival of John G. Kerr in 1854, he largely discontinued the practice of medicine, but he maintained his pastoral and educational activities. In 1854, after ten years in China, he baptized his first convert. For many years he conducted a school for the training of Chinese preachers and for a time was the head of a Chinese government school in Canton.
Happer wrote voluminously, both in Chinese and English; from 1880 through 1884 he was editor of the Chinese Recorder; and he assisted in the revision of Bridgman and Culbertson’s translation of the Bible, and in the translation of the New Testament into the Canton colloquial. In 1884 Happer returned to the United States, ill, his life’s work apparently at an end; but, partially recovering, he raised over $100, 000 for the fulfilment of one of his dreams, the establishment of a Christian college in China. In 1888 he returned to Canton to found the institution and was in charge of it until, in 1891, ill health again compelled his retirement to America, this time permanently. His last years were spent in Wooster, Ohio.
