Description
E. Stanley Jones Had a Wife: The Life and Mission of Mabel Lossing Jones is the first biographical study of the extraordinarily yet largely unheralded life of Mabel Lossing Jones, wife of the famed evangelist. This pioneer in evangelism in the early to mid-1900s, particularly in India, emerges out of the shadow of her celebrated husband as a multifaceted leader of the world Christian movement. Mabel Lossing was commissioned to India in 1904 by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She served at the Khandwa Girls' Orphanage and later trained teachers at the Lal Bagh School in Lucknow, India. Lossing was singled out in June 1909 by the British colonial government to start a teacher-training school in Hawa Bagh. After a year on furlough, she returned to India as a missionary for the Methodist Episcopal Church and married E. Stanley Jones in 1911. She corresponded regularly with Mahatma Gandhi on matters of education and discipline, sat on the Municipal Council of Sitapur with ten Hindu men and ten Muslim men for 20 years, and served on several prestigious Executive Boards in N. India. Mabel's egalitarian worldview blinded her to gender, class, age, or race. The government requested that she personally establish the first boys' school taught by women, which impacted the educational system in all of India. Her average writing of 21 letters a day raised scholarships for thousands of boys, and built a fund of $500,000, the interest of which continues to care for them.
