Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. John Headsten in Chicago, IL, USA.
Pendleton encloses several letters which he thinks will explain themselves. Concerning evangelization, Pendleton writes, “I, of course, believe that all of our ministers employ only open and honorable means in their missionary endeavors.

His dodging, to put it mildly, does not command respect, for it is neither...

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Theodore Pitcairn at Chateau de la Motte, Thoury-Ferrottes, Seine-et-Marne, France.

It is clear that he is interiorly in sympathy with our position, but equally obvious that he does not want that fact known,...
