LOVEDALE , a See also:mission station in the See also:Victoria See also:East See also:division of the Cape See also:province, See also:South See also:Africa. It lies 1720 ft. above the See also:sea on the See also:banks of the Tyumie (Chumie) tributary of the Keiskama See also:river, some 2 M. N. of Alice, a See also:town 88 m. N.W. by See also:rail of East See also:London. The station was founded in 1824 by the See also:Glasgow Missionary Society and was named after Dr See also:John Love, one of the leading members of, and at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

On rebuilding, the station was removed somewhat farther See also:north to the banks of the Tyumie. In 1846 the See also:work at Lovedale was again interrupted, this time by the See also:War of the See also:Axe (see CAPE See also:COLONY: See also:History). On this occasion the buildings were converted into a fort and garrisoned by See also:regular troops. Once more, in 185o, the Kaffirs threatened Lovedale and made an attack on the neighbouring Fort See also:Hare,' built during the previous war.
Until 1841 the missionaries had devoted themselves almost entirely to evangelistic work; in that See also:year the Lovedale Missionary See also:Institute was founded by the Rev. W. See also:Govan, who, See also:save for brief intervals, continued at its See also:head until 187o. He was then succeeded by the Rev. See also:- JAMES
