Title: [Mimeographed Letter, Signed, from an American Missionary in China, Regarding Continued Contributions Despite the Chinese Civil War, and Forwarding a Lucky-Charm Woodblock Print]
Author: [Missionaries]. [China]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Shanghai, China: February 24, 1928. Very good.. [1]p. plus colored woodblock print, 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds, minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock (1870-1951) was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905, where he taught Sunday School, served as a pastor, and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived, war, disease, famine, and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters, which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here, showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print: "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. ... The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. ... Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty, soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle, and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer, Protector, Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace, nor protects nor makes loyal, so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars...." He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle," noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords, the Nationalists, the Reds, the bandits, wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. ... The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority,' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people.

Title: Days of Delusion: A Strange Bit of History
Author: Sears, Clara Endicott
Seller: Tschanz Rare Books (United States)
Description: Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1924. First Edition. 264pp. Octavo [22 cm] Blue cloth with silver stamped titles on the front board and backstrip. Better than very good. In this work the author chronicles the intense religious hysteria of the Millerite movement in New England during the years 1843 and 1844.

Sears uses these accounts to detail the fallout from Miller's movement and how it laid the groundwork for modern Protestant sects, most notably the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
