It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.Barton, James Levi (1855-1936)Missionary and executive of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM)James Barton Barton was born to a Quaker family in Charlotte, Vermont. He graduated from Middlebury College (1881) and, having developed a keen interest in questions of theology and modern thought, entered Hartford Theological Seminary. Convinced that foreign missions could make a great contribution to human well-being, at his graduation in 1885 he applied for service abroad, married Flora Holmes, and sailed to Turkey. For seven years he oversaw a large school system in Harpoot. He was elected president of Euphrates College, Harpoot, in 1892, but when his wife's ill health prevented him from continuing his residence in Turkey, Barton became ABCFM's secretary of foreign affairs.
