Stanley P. Smith

Stanley Peregine Smith (19 March 1861 – 31 January 1931) was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China.

Following his conversion and call to mission, Smith had a soapbox in Hyde Park where he preached "not the milk and water of religion but the cream of the gospel".

[2] Stanley Smith with another of the Cambridge Seven, the brilliant young cricketer C. T. Studd started his ministry in Shan-Si Province, in northern China.

Although in the latter years he often faced trials and disappointments, he continued with his teaching and preaching (and writing up his diary) until the night before he died, on 31 January 1931 in Tse-Chow.

[4] They had one son, Dr Algernon "Algie" Stanley Smith (14 February 1890 – 28 July 1978), one of the founders of the Ruanda Mission.
