19706627Malibu Miami 1970. Group of 17 photographs 5 clippings a jaded love-letter from one Maharaji follower to another and a 39pp publication of Rawat's speeches illustrated all housed in an Elan Vital printed envelope. Two photos torn along edges many other photos trimmed from larger prints several with pin holes tape residue scuffs etc. Generally very good. <br /> <br /> Assemblage of photos of Prem Rawat b. 1957 seemingly removed from a shrine of a devotee of the guru. The collection includes an interesting and very personal 3 page handwritten letter from a "premie" in Malibu to another in Miami Beach expressing his unrequited love and describing a Rawat satsang which "wiped the slate clean" for the writer. <br /> <br /> Rawat or "Maharaji" took over the Divine Light Mission a religious movement teaching inner peace and somewhat influenced by the Bhagavad Gita at the young age of 8 when his father who had founded the organization died. Rawat brought the DLM to the United States where it flourished setting up headquarters both in Malibu California and Miami Beach. Rawat renamed the organization Elan Vital in 1983. <br /> <br /> The photos and clippings in this collection show Rawat from childhood to his marriage to a follower at the age of 16 to his spraying of followers with a giant water pistol of his own invention at one of his Holi festivals.<br /> <br /> <br /> A revealing photo archive from members in the early days of what is still a rather large New Age spiritual movement. . unknown
1850List2859Newbury Ohio 1850. Six letters. Excellent. John Marvin Bacheldor 1826–deceased was born in Newbury Ohio and attended Williams College in Williamstown Massachusetts. He would later run the Rural Home Family School for Boys in Pownal Vermont and then Bacheldor’s Business College in York Pennsylvania. His parents Sarah 1800–1876 and John Bacheldor 1786–1858 were New England farmers who moved to Ohio sometime before 1825. Offered here are six letters from Sarah and John to John Marvin from the latter’s time as a student at Williams.<br /> <br /> The letters are mainly updates on the family farm and on the various illnesses spreading throughout the region – at the time smallpox and scarlet fever were epidemic though Sarah Bacheldor also notes several cases of “brain fever.†She mentions an intriguing county-wide school meeting:<br /> <br /> “3 schools met at Centre Church I suppose the 4th Fuller Town Sc think us so joined to slavery they dare not even meet in the same house with us O when will people cast out the before they say brother . Perhaps those who are branded as pro slavery would do as much to liberate the slaves as their accusers I dont think we need to go down South to find something to differ aboutâ€. September 10 1847<br /> <br /> Though Ohio was an early abolisher of slavery and famously a stop on the Underground Railroad the issue was far from settled among its residents. Sarah also mentions but does not elaborate on some strife with both the Baptist and Methodist churches:<br /> <br /> “You may wish to know something about our religious prospects they are not very encouraging The Baptist Association met at the Centre but I guess they had more strife & contention than ardent desire for the salvation of souls & there was no blessing. The Methodists had a quarterly meeting the last of June & yet we were not revived It is a time of great stupidity in all this region trulyâ€. July 14 1848<br /> <br /> Overall a look at life and attitudes in rural Ohio in the mid-19th century. unknown

Pp. title-page 123; half-title frontispiece title-page 40; half-title title-page vi ii 71. Errata slip which was not attached to this copy upon binding is added herewith in facsimile. HARDCOVER contemporary quarter calf and marbled boards spine gilt bit rubbed contemporary shelf-label vellum corners marbled edges; old institutional stamps. In about fine condition. Overall an excellent copy. ~ FIRST EDITION. A highly anti-Semitic treatise which aims to prove the connection between the Talmud and the practice of ritual murder among the Jews. It uses the murder of the 14 year old Hungarian girl Esther Solymossy as its point of departure. A Jew by the name of Joseph Scharf was brought to trial in Tisza-Eszlar in Hungary for presumably having murdered Solymossy in a Jewish ritual. The trial evoked much agitation throughout Europe and a dramatic rise in antisemitism. Both the first and the second books are believed to be the testimony of an "insider" the convert Neofitus Moldavisch a Jewish Rabbi turned Greek Orthodox Priest. The original work was written in Greek. It later appeared in Italian and from this version translated into Dutch by F. J. Poelhekke Chaplain in Leiden and Haarlem who preferred to call himself "the writer of 'Laster of Misdaad'". The third book published 7 years later is written by Dr. August Rohling a theology professor at the University of Prague author of the anti-Semitic standard-work "Der Talmudjude" Münster 1871 and often reprinted. It was arranged and enlarged by Max de Lamarque. It is an anti-Semitic pseudo scientific study drawing on many similar publications. Still it offers "a reward of ten-thousand franks to whom that can prove false even one of the 300 claims" that the book brings.

1921List2036Mt. Pleasant 1921. Limp leatherette journal measuring 6 ½ x 4 inches 170 pages. Some chips to spine fine contents. Near Fine. Christian N. Lund was born in Norway in 1846 to Mormon parents and immigrated to the United States in 1869 first arriving in Salt Lake City and eventually settling in Mt. Pleasant Utah. He was a member of the Constitutional Conventions held in 1882 and 1887 in Salt Lake City a member of the Legislature in the House in 1890 and City Council in 1894 and was appointed bishop in 1890. He did missionary work in the Pacific Northwest in the 1870s and in Scandinavia in the 1890s presiding over missions in Norway Sweden and Denmark. He served as bishop of the two Mt. Pleasant wards during a period when they were the largest wards in the church. He died in 1921. <br /> <br /> Offered here is a journal Lund kept as an alphabetical index to religious ideas with additional ruminations and philosophical musings included intended possibly as a keepsake for a family member as it was passed on to one of his grandsons following his death per an inscription inside. The entries track themes such as “Astronomy†and “The Jews†through the Old and New Testaments and Book of Mormon and are intended to weave the sources together into a single resource on religious themes. The facts that Lund highlights range are interesting and as a group the entries would be of interest to scholars of Mormon thought during the period. It is also interesting which other subjects Lund chooses to write about such as transcribing verbatim an article written about the transatlantic cable in 1921 just months before his death. In another section he lists per capita consumption of “Intoxicating Liquors†comparing it to other vices such as tobacco jewelry patent medicine and chewing bum. One page ranks the ways in which the Church of Latter Day Saints differs from other churches. Some of the lists refer to LDs-related subjects using the prefix “FOL†which raises the possibility that the volume served as his own reference for works held at the LDS archive that he had researched. <br /> <br /> Overall the volume gives an interesting synthesis of contemporary secular and religious themed entries with Lind’s interest in statistics and numbers permeating the volume and providing information on his personal philosophy. It would complement Nielsen’s autobiography and journals for scholars interested in his life and thought. unknown

1938List3696Chicago Illinois: Saint Germain Press 1938. Small folios wraps 5 6 pp. Musical scores. Light of My Heart inscribed as follows: “To Blessed Edith / These mean your / complete freedom and / victory in the light / Edna.â€. Fine condition. Two apparently unrecorded musical scores issued by Saint Germain Press at the height of the I AM Activity the metaphysical religious movement founded by Guy Ballard writing as “Godfre Ray King†and later led by his wife Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard. Music occupied a central role in I AM devotional practice where hymns and affirmational songs functioned as instruments of spiritual alignment intended to invoke divine “Light†and facilitate communion with Ascended Masters particularly the figure of Saint Germain. Blending Theosophy New Thought and American esoteric Christianity such compositions were likely performed in ceremonial services instructional classes and regional conclaves that combined ritual affirmation with musical participation. These sheets were part of the movement’s broader effort to disseminate spiritual teachings through accessible devotional media linking printed text spoken decree and musical performance within a unified metaphysical practice.<br /> <br /> The inscription by Edna Ballard adds notable historical significance. Following Guy Ballard’s death in 1939 Edna assumed leadership of the movement and became one of its principal public voices guiding the organization through both rapid expansion and intense federal scrutiny culminating in United States v. Ballard 1944 a landmark Supreme Court case addressing the limits of judicial inquiry into religious belief. Ephemeral musical publications from the I AM Activity are scarce particularly those bearing direct association with Edna Ballard or evidencing devotional use.

Scarce and obscure publication. Not listed in the Georgia Derenne catalog. <br /> <br /> Sabin 80104. From the New Georgia Encyclopedia Jennie Knight Emory Univ.<br /> <br /> Before the Civil War 1861-65 the only Unitarian churches in Georgia were located in Augusta and Savannah. Following disagreements with the national association of Unitarians over the abolition of slavery the Augusta church closed in the 1840s while the Savannah church closed in 1859. Similarly southern Universalists often differed with their northern counterparts about abolition. There were more small active Universalist churches than Unitarian churches in Georgia before the war yet no congregations remained active afterward. A large Universalist missionary effort in the Southeast began in 1891 and attracted many new converts but after the Great Depression of the 1930s Universalist membership declined again.
