Samuel Henry Kellogg was an American clergyman and missionary to India. He was a professor of theology in the Allegheny Theological Seminary from 1877 to 1885. He served as a pastor at St. James Square Presbyterian Church of Toronto, Canada from 1886 to 1892.
Background
Samuel Henry Kellogg was born on September 6, 1839 at Quogue, Long Island, New York. Descended from Daniel Kellogg who was living in Norwalk, Connecticut, in 1656, he was the son of Reverend Samuel and Mary Pierce (Henry) Kellogg. He was a frail and precocious lad.
Education
Kellogg was prepared for college mostly under the tuition of his parents. He matriculated at Williams College in 1856, but on account of ill health withdrew after a single term, but entered Princeton College in 1858 and graduated in 1861 with high honors. The following fall he enrolled in Princeton Seminary to prepare himself for the Presbyterian ministry. He received his theological degree in 1864, having served during the last two years of his course as instructor in mathematics in the college. While he was a student in the Seminary his attention was turned toward India by the Reverenf H. M. Scudder, and on April 20, 1864, he was ordained by the Hudson (New York) Presbytery as a missionary.
Career
Kellogg embarked at Boston on December 20, 1864, aboard a merchant vessel bound for Ceylon. Several days out of Boston the ship's captain was washed overboard in a storm and the command fell to the incompetent first mate. Kellogg was prevailed upon to act as mate and navigator throughout the voyage--to Ceylon and thence to Calcutta. He landed in Calcutta in May 1865, and proceeded to Barhpur, near Fategarh, North India, to join the Farukhabad Mission of his church.
Making immediate progress in the study of Hindi, he soon shared in the conduct of the weekly religious services in that tongue, and engaged in evangelism in and about his station. In 1871 ill health compelled his withdrawal from India, but he rejoined his mission after less than two years' absence in America and took up work in Allahabad at the newly established Theological School of the India Synod of his church. Along with his teaching he engaged in evangelism and authorship. By December 1875 he had completed his Grammar of the Hindi Language (2nd ed. , 1893).
In 1876 the death of his wife compelled him to return to America. He resigned his missionary commission, and was soon called to the pastorate of the Third Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, where he was installed July 15, 1877. From 1877 until 1885 he was professor of systematic theology in the Allegheny Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania. From May 20, 1886, until September 7, 1892, he acted as pastor of the St. James Square Presbyterian Church of Toronto, Canada. During the whole period of fifteen years he retained his interest in missions and in Oriental scholarship, and in 1889 took part in the International Congress of Orientalists held in Stockholm.
Kellogg was recalled to India in 1892 to aid in the work of revising the Hindi Old Testament. In the following spring he joined the Revision Committee in Landour, a station in the Himalayas, where he thereafter spent seven or eight months of each year. At irregular intervals he visited the scenes of his earlier missionary labors, delivering sermons and lectures both in Hindi and in English. He looked forward to the completion of the Old Testament revision in 1899 and his subsequent return to America by 1900, but on the eve of the work's completion he died in Landour as the result of a fall from his bicycle.
Achievements
Samuel Henry Kellogg was distinguished for his missionary work in India in 1860s-1870s. One of his best-published works as an author was his monumental "One Grammar of the Hindi Language". He was also instrumental in revising and retranslating the Hindi Old Testament.
