Jacob Chamberlain
Edit ProfileEducation
He studied at the Academy at Lodi, Michigan; graduated at Western Reserve College in 1856, and studied theology at Union Seminary and at Rutgers where he graduated in 1859. He also studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York and at Western Reserve.
Career
He was ordained a missionary of the Dutch Reformed Church in May 1859, sailed for India, and began his life work in the Arcot Mission in April 1860. Beginning with the Tamil language, he soon took up the Telugu in which he became proficient. His first missionary activities consisted of extensive preaching tours on which he distributed vast quantities of Bibles and tracts; but he soon added to these labors those of the medical missionary, in which he was very successful. Many thousands of natives were reached by the hospitals and dispensaries which he established. He compiled a Telugu Bible, being chairman of the revision committee from 1873 to 1896. Early in his career he began to prepare a Telugu Bible dictionary, a task that was left uncompleted at his death. The first theological seminary on the mission field, that of the Arcot mission, founded in 1887, owes its origin to him. Ill health resulting from jungle fever compelled him to spend ten years, at various periods, in the United States and other English-speaking countries where he became a most effective advocate of foreign missions. Besides his annual reports, written in simple and beautiful English, and his numerous articles in the religious press, he wrote: The Bible Tested in India (1878); In the Tiger Jungle (1896); The Religions of the Orient (1896); The Cobra's Den (1900); The Kingdom in India, Its Progress and Its Promise (published in 1908, with a biographical sketch of the author by Henry N. Cobb). Chamberlain combined in himself the scholar, the preacher, the physician, the inventor, and the advocate, but the missionary motive was always central.
