American Protestant Missionaries in Angola, AfricaABAA

Protestant Mission Photograph Archive of Portuguese Angola 1912-1914 - Mission Schools African Christian Workers & the Infrastructure of Western Religious and Educational Authority 27 Photographs

1912rif. 236551912. American Protestant mission photo archive depicting schools Western and African Christian workers in Portuguese Angola 1912 to 1914 recording the local life missionary presenceand infrastructure extending Western religious and educational authority. Dated inscriptions identify "missionaries and native workers" in 1912 and a "boys school" in 1914 while another photograph is captioned "At the Quanza" the historical English spelling of Angola's Kwanza River. Protestant missions had operated in Angola since the late nineteenth century establishing schools training African evangelists and teachers and creating networks that could compete with Portuguese colonial institutions for influence over language education and community allegiance. We believe the se are American Protestant missionaries because the language of the captions itself sounds North American. One phrase especially stands out: "Our force" That wording was commonly used by North American Protestant missionaries to describe their combined European and African staff. British missionaries more often wrote "our staff" "our workers" or "the mission staff." Likewise the informal captions "Hopefuls" "Sit down rest a while" resemble private North American missionary albums more than official British mission records. Photo archive of 27 photographs seven silver gelatin and and twenty laser-printed photographs all large format ranging from 7 x 5 to 7 x 4 inches Portuguese Angola circa 1912 to 1914. Formal portraits show European missionaries with Angolan personnel before stuccoed mission buildings including a large group captioned "Missionaries and native workers 1912" and a smaller portrait captioned "Our force 1912." School photographs depict boys girls and younger children arranged in rows with European instructors; one verso reads "Boys school 1914" while an individual portrait of two neatly dressed boys is titled "Hopefuls." Mission compounds include long veranda buildings fenced grounds thatched dwellings tents cooking equipment folding furniture and temporary encampments occupied by missionaries and local residents. Several photographs record travel and subsistence away from the station: missionaries pose beside rapids captioned "At the Quanza" rest in wooded country prepare meals outside canvas tents exchange food or supplies with African residents and occupy a mixed camp of tents and thatched structures. Other images show a fruiting orange grove men and women gathering fruit a landscape identified as "The lumbermen's camp" mission residents seated among dense vegetation river scenery village buildings and African children and adults photographed at schools settlements and work sites. Verso captions also include "Down for the night" and "Sit down rest a while" language that frames travel camp life and mission expansion through the photographer's informal record of daily activity. Portuguese rule in Angola remained uneven in the early twentieth century particularly beyond coastal administrative centers and mission stations often supplied education printing agricultural instruction medical care and religious training where the colonial state maintained little permanent infrastructure. Schools were central to this expansion. Literacy and teacher training enabled missionaries to circulate Christian texts while African instructors and evangelists carried teaching and worship into communities that European personnel could not reach directly. The photographs expose the racial hierarchy of this arrangement through clothing spatial placement and captioning: European missionaries are named collectively as the directing body while Angolan colleagues are reduced to categories such as "native workers" even when formal group portraits present them as teachers clergy assistants or institutional staff. Agricultural scenes the lumber camp mission residences school groups and mobile tent sites further demonstrate how evangelization depended upon land food production transport construction and locally recruited labor rather than preaching alone. Protestant educational networks later produced generations of Angolan teachers clergy writers and political organizers while Portuguese authorities repeatedly regarded independent mission schooling and African language literacy as potential challenges to colonial control. Light surface wear occasional creasing and fading scattered stains and adhesive or paper residue on several versos; captions remain legible. Overall in good condition. unknown books

Vocabulary of the Umbundy language: comprising Umbundu-English and English-Umbundu

1911rif. 95663n.p.: West African African Mission A. B. F. F. M. 1911. Good. 400 248p. Lacks cover we don't know whether this uncommon linguistic item was originally hard or soft cover. Outer leaves soiled. This 1911 edition appears to be much explanded from the first edition of 1885. The first part Umbundu-English is longer and more detailed than the second part English-Umbundu. This feature is explained or excused in the Preface: "Having as a basis the Engliush-Umbundu vocabulary which fairly enough gathers up the Umbundu-English each one can prepare for his own use a serviceable English-Umbundu vocabulary. The work of printing has been so exacting on all concerned that adding to correcting or classifying the Umbundu words in the second part could not be attempted." The Preface also warns that "The necessity of substituting ordinary c for c with cedilla in Portuguese words containing that letter is one among several infelicities occasioned by an inadequate supply of type which are much regretted." Umbundu is spoken by about a third of the inhabitants of Angola making it that country's most widely spoken indigenous language. West African African Mission, A. B. F. F. M. unknown books

Letter from One of the Earliest Female Missionaries at Elliott Mission in the Choctaw Nation Written Shortly After Her Arrival in "this land of moral darkness" Describing Frontier Mission Life Homesickness and Early Protestant Missionary Activity in Mississippi Territory

1820rif. List3735Elliott Mission Choctaw Nation 1820. Four pages bifolium 10 x 8 inches. Stampless cover bearing the scarce "Choctaw Agency May 25" manuscript marking and "Via Philadelphia" routing notation described in the original philatelic history sale as possibly "one of the earliest if not the earliest cover known from Choctaw Agency while still in Mississippi. Some losses at folds and areas of old reinforcement though the remaining text is extensive throughout. An early missionary letter from the Choctaw Nation written by Minerva Washburn 1788-1852 one of the first women attached to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions' Choctaw mission efforts shortly after her arrival at Elliott Mission in what was then the Mississippi frontier. Carried under what appears to be one of the earliest recorded "Choctaw Agency" manuscript postal markings known the letter was sent to her parents Jonah and Sarah Washburn of Randolph Vermont in the spring of 1820. Minerva Washburn entered the service of the American Board in 1819 and arrived at Elliott Mission in January 1820. She was the sister of the missionary Cephas Washburn and would later marry missionary James Orr becoming associated with the establishment of Dwight Mission in the Cherokee Nation. The identification of Washburn as the author is confirmed both by surviving missionary records and by the partially obscured signature beneath old reinforcement at the conclusion of the present letter. Datelined simply "Elliot Choctaw Nation April 29" the letter describes realities of life at one of the earliest Protestant mission stations among the Choctaw. Written only months after her arrival the letter preserves a firsthand account of missionary settlement in Choctaw territory during the earliest phase of organized evangelical expansion into the Southeast. She writes: "For the first time I sit down to address you from this land of moral darkness. I often interrogate myself isn't it a pity that 2000 miles lie between us I am compelled to say that it is. I know your anxiety for me is great. But I have to record the goodness of the Lord to me since I left my father's house. I have been carried through all the dangers and trials attendant on so long a journey & was brought to this place in safety. My wants have all been supplied and I have been blessed with friends in a land of strangers. I suppose you have learnt the process of our journey from letters written by the brethren and sisters and text missing due to paper loss not repeat it.

But during the latter part of my journey and after my arrival here it was in a declining state owing I suppose to an entire change of diet and employment. It is now and has been for some time better than when at the South. Perhaps you would like to know my employment. I spend most of my time in sewing. We generally have enough to employ two hands. I usually ride or walk out morning and exercising for the preservation of health accompanied with some of the other sisters. Our walks are very pleasant. The woods are beautiful. Instead of . brush as at the north they are covered with grass & flowers. I wish you could have a view of Elliot. Its local situation far exceeded my expectation. And I found more of the necessaries and even the comforts of life than I expected. We have a plenty of cornbread milk and meat and some butter coffee and tea and sugar and some flour and a boat is expected in a few days that will supply us with a quantity of flour cheese and dried apples. My dear parents you often mentioned to me the dangers and fears that would attend me when crossing rivers forests and swamps. But I can tell you my fears were dissipated and I felt calm and composed. I must write a few words about the brethren and sisters. Br. Kingsbury our pastor has the superintendence of the mission. Br. Williams the care of the school which consists of 63 scholars. Br.

The Washburn family was closely connected to the early evangelical and missionary culture of New England during the early decades of the nineteenth century. Minerva Washburn's brother Cephas Washburn became one of the better-known missionaries associated with the American Board's work among Indigenous nations in the Southeast while Minerva herself entered missionary service in 1819 before later assisting alongside her husband James Orr in the development of Dwight Mission in the Cherokee Nation. The present letter belongs to this first generation of Protestant missionary efforts carried into the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations. Overall an early and highly personal missionary letter documenting evangelical expansion women's labor family separation and daily life in the Choctaw Nation during the opening years of organized American mission activity. unknown books

Three Missionary Letters From India In 1902 To An American In Seattle

rif. 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 books
