4337CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES IN INDIA. An archive of three letters from Christian missionies in India to E.E. Pelz of Seattle Washington:TLS. 1pg. 8 x 11. March 5 1902. Allahabad India. A typed letter signed Rockwell Clancy to E.E. Pelz: I have been transferred from the Allahabad District to the Muttra District. There are more than 12000 Christians in my new district and it will be impossible for me to attend to that work to retain the secretary ship of the Bishop Thoburn Special Fund for India. Mr. Rockey is a missionary of many years experience and is not new to the work of the special fund as he was secretary before I took over the work from him at the beginning of 1895 when he went to America on furlough. His name will be familiar to the patrons of 1894 in previous years. I feel sure that anyone who has ever had a letter from him about the work in India will be very glad to know that he is taken up this duty again. Among all are missionaries there are very few men who can write more interestingly of India than Mr. Rockey. Let me ask you to continue to do all you can to interest others in India. The opportunities for work among the heathen are boundless. Many doors are open to us; thousands would become Christians if we could give them pastors and teachers. I came to India 18 years ago. At that time there were not more than 10000 Christians in our mission; today there are 128000. Let us continue to pray and work till India becomes a Christian land. The letter has chipping along the right edge and is in good condition.TLS. 1pg. 8 x 11. April 24 1902. A typed letter signed N.L. Rockey on The Bishop Thoburn Special Fund For India letterhead. He wrote to E.E. Pelz: The latest draft from mission rooms brought to meet your your donation of $15 given in February for the continued support of a pastor teacher in India. I find from the books that Bro. Clancy turned over to me that you have given on several occasions but he has made no assignment. I know that it is pleasant for people who give for this fun to have some special man in view and therefore ascending the sum to the presiding elder of Kasgunj district I asked him to send me the names of men who would be supported by the special fund. One of them I am assigning to you. When you pray and when you give keep Chadmai Lall's maybe for you. He is a pastor teacher in Kasgunj district. He is 28 years of age. A number of villages must be visited by him. In some of these villages a few Christians live apart from other people despised by their neighbors. This year he has 10 men whom he is seeking to win for Christ. He also teaches a small school which 15 boys are reading.N.L. Rockey. The letter has a rough right edge.ALS. 5pg. 5 x 8. April 24 1902. Sitaper India. A lengthy autograph letter signed N.L. Rockey to E.E. Pelz: Several years ago we had the pleasure of receiving from you a donation of $15 for our special fund but now for some time we've not heard from you. It is possible to the fault is ours and that you do not get a proper acknowledgment of your donation. Our Bro Clancy tried to keep all straight but he has had several men working upon them and the great strain of the famine came let some of the records get into confusion and the writing had to be left to such helpers as he could secure. You will see by the enclosed that I am now called to this duty and I desire to have brethren in America correspond with me concerning any difficulty in past donations. As far as I can I will trace the matter a reply to your questions. We have been roughly honest with the money you entrusted to us. Over one half of the work in the N.W. India conference has been carried on only through the aid of the special fund that started as promised$100 would support a full preacherWe would be so glad to enlist your prayers and help to enable us to continue our work. Our missionary society has scattered its obligations on all continents and is not been able to contain its support to India. You can designate your gift for the support of Scholarships for our native schools or for the support of an orphan or for the endowment of our English schools where our missionaries children are educated. We need a fund that will supply good teachers in these.N.L. Rockey. The lengthy letter is in fine condition. unknown

1913List3016St. Michaels Arizona: Anselm Weber and Berard Haile 1913. Sixty-eight page booklet measuring 6 ¾ x 10 inches. Wear mainly to covers; excellent. Catholic missionaries—Franciscans in particular—have been present in what is now the American Southwest since the 16th century. For most of this time these were Spanish missionaries missioning to the Pueblo people mainly in New Mexico; these missionaries’ presence waned over time. In 1898 several decades after the Navajo were allowed to return to a reservation on part of their former territory the first permanent Catholic mission to the Navajo was organized. St. Michael’s was founded by Fathers Anselm Weber and Berard Haile German Franciscans from Cincinnati. <br /> <br /> Their approach was different from the Spanish friars’ and that of the United States government primarily in that Weber and Haile advocated learning the Navajo language understanding the culture and approaching their conversion from that angle especially focusing on children who were more impressionable.1 Haile in particular became an expert in the language and culture translating many Catholic texts and producing dictionaries and writing anthropological studies of Navajo culture and religion.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a German-language copy—both Haile and Anselm were German—of the first volume of St. Michael’s yearly publication The Fransiscan Missions of the Southwest Die Franziskaner Missionen des Suedwestens. The illustrated journal was published from 1913 to 1922 and discussed the Navajo and Pueblo people and cultures and the activities of the missionaries in the area. Among other topics this volume contains an article about the Navajo Fire Dance “Der Feuertanz der Navajo-Indianer" with photographs taken from Haile’s Ethnologic Dictionary of the Navaho Language 1910.<br /> <br /> We find sixteen holdings on OCLC of the full run of the journal and three of this specific volume. Of interest to historians of Catholic missionaries to the Pueblo and Navajo people.<br /> <br /> 1 Ross Enochs “The Franciscan Mission to the Navajos: Mission Method and Indigenous Religion 1898–1940†The Catholic Historical Review 92 no. 1 January 2006: 46–73.

Amory Nelson Chamberlin 1821–1894 was born on Brainerd Mission in what is now Chattanooga Tennessee the son and grandson of missionaries.

The Cherokee written language is a syllabary—a writing system in which symbols represent whole syllables—developed in the early 19th century by Sequoyah a Cherokee leader and inventor. It was one of the first writing systems for an Indigenous American language and significantly increased Cherokee literacy within a short time of its adoption in the 1820s.3<br /> <br /> We find fifteen copies of Chamberlin’s catechism in OCLC.

192812860Various locations in Hawaii and Japan 1928. 12 leaves illustrated with 123 mounted sepia-toned photographs many captioned in the image area occasional manuscript captions on the album leaves. Oblong folio. Contemporary pictorial cloth illustrated with various Japanese motifs string tied. Minor wear to cloth. Internally clean. Very good. An attractive and informative vernacular photograph album memorializing the experiences of Protestant missionaries in the Pacific. Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii starting in the 1820s and eventually became quite socially and politically influential. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in Japan in the mid-1840s. They were relegated to treaty ports and prohibited from proselytizing but once these restrictions were lifted they were fairly successful with 300 churches and 34000 converts by 1889. Their main avenue was education and by the 1920s they were well established in this sector. The present album of photographs were taken by an American missionary in Hawaii and Japan in 1927 and 1928. It is not entirely clear whether the photographer did any missionary work in Hawaii or if it was just a stop on the way to Japan; the photos from Hawaii show Honolulu harbor from the deck of the President Madison the "Club House" and Diamond Head.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Japan are more clearly missionary. The photographer was involved in teaching in Kyoto; captions include "Kami Kyoku Bishamon Cho" listed as a theological school in the 1928 Japan Mission Year Book "Japanese Language School" "The Faculty" "Nihongo Faculty" and "St Agnes Ena -- Music." There are two St. Agneses in the Year Book both middle schools one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Two photos of an older Japanese man in a clerical collar captioned "Mr Hayakawa" suggest this is the St. Agnes in Kyoto as Mr. K. Hayakawa is listed as the head of that school. Other individuals listed in the Year Book include Sally Rembert Thora Johnson and "Maxine" who is probably Maxine Schannep with the ABCFM. Generally the school shots are exteriors of buildings and people posing outside of them; there are also shots of Christmas trees at St. Agnes the students of "Helen’s Kindergarten" in Koriyama girls in school uniform with deer at Nara Park and several of the nurse's home at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo.<br /> <br /> Other photos show life around Kyoto and other cities including Nikko and Fukui. Most of the men are in Western dress while the women and children wear kimono. Two photos of Buddhist monks included in the album were taken by Japanese photographer Kurokawa Suizan; these show a KomusŠin a tengai hat playing the flute and a kasa-hatted monk on the steps of a building. Finally some uncaptioned shots show a procession taking place in front of an audience. Some in the procession carry flags a few are on horseback and a few carry plants on their heads and part of the procession carries a litter.<br /> <br /> Overall the album documents both religious education and everyday life in late 1920s Japan; of particular interest to historians of Protestant missionaries. unknown
19255493Okayama 1925. Very good. 15pp. Old fold lines minor wear. With original envelope. Lengthy letter written by Mrs. C. Burnell Olds to a friend and donor back in Connecticut Mrs. Nathan S. Bronson. Okayama is located to the west of Osaka and Kyoto in the southern portion of the country; Mrs. Olds was born to a missionary family stationed in Japan and had worked in that country since 1903. In her letter Olds relates her current round of activities the ways in which Mrs. Bronson's funds have been of great use and the other activities she observes and participates in within the local community. She opens recounting a visit to the True Beauty Girls' School to which Mrs. Bronson has donated. She writes "The fact that an American woman was willing to give to a non-Christian school way over here in Japan has made a great impression here in Okayama." She goes on to discuss the building of a new church by some "earnest young men" briefly noting that they still need money to furnish the church. "We are very anxious to start some kind of social work here -- if possible to open an amusement hall where young men can come to have a good time in a good way -- with good women. There is no such place in our city and how many evil resorts there are." She relates further activities an endless stream of clubs and activities and teaching efforts for the Lord closing with family news. An interesting missive chock full of information on a local missionary's efforts in 1920s Japan. unknown
19235584Various locations in Guatemala and Mexico 1923. Very good. 145 real photo postcards photographs and printed pictorial postcards thirty-eight with manuscript notes on verso. Minor wear overall. A wonderful collection of images featuring the people and places involved with the educational missionary work of Lula Maud Jackson later Tolosa of Birmingham Michigan. Jackson was a Baptist missionary teacher at schools in El Salvador Cuba Mexico and Guatemala before returning to Michigan in the early-1920s. Not long after her return Lula married an El Salvadorian minister named Ramon Alberto Tolosa in Michigan on June 26 1923; apparently Tolosa moved to Michigan to be with Lula and thereafter established the First Mexican Baptist Church in Saginaw where he remained as pastor until his retirement in 1975. The present collection of photographs feature numerous people and places Jackson knew during her time in Latin America.<br /> <br /> The collection contains a few photographs that appear to include Jackson but the great majority show various native settings and subjects including the children she was teaching pictured in class group shots. Most are not captioned but many of these images are dated in 1921. The images feature students at play fruit vendors carrying large baskets churches and other buildings and more. Almost forty of the images however which are mostly portrait postcards or photographs include inscriptions to Lula on the verso from the numerous named subjects. All of the captions are written in Spanish. Seventeen of these identify various subjects in Mexico by name including multiple members of the same family in one case. One postcard is covered completely on the verso with the musical notation and lyrics of a song called "Ven a El pecador!" Two of these postcards were actually postmarked to Lula in Cuba while she was there in 1916 and 1919. Eighteen of these annotated real photo postcards were sent to Lula by her soon-to-be husband Ramon Tolosa all but one in either May or early June 1923 before the couple married later in June of that year. At the time Ramon was working in Tampico Mexico from where he sent all of these postcards. The postcards are not postmarked indicating Ramon may have sent them inside other letters; plus the captions contain straightforward descriptions of the subjects and settings of the postcards and not the personal correspondence that might be expected from two people about to be married. All in all a diverse and personal collection of images of Mexico kept by a missionary teacher from Michigan to memorialize her earlier work there offering several avenues for further research. unknown
