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.

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
