Letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Gerrit Barger, 1915-09-17

 Item
Identifier: RG.004.01

Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Gerrit Barger in the Hague, Holland. The Book Room has not received the bound copies of the Four Doctrines which Barger sent (one to Mr. Pitcairn and one to Pendleton), and Pendleton hopes nothing has happened to them on the way. Pendleton thinks that by the time Barger has received this letter, he will have read in the Life about Miss (Lilian) Beekman’s withdrawal from the Church. Pendleton thinks it is a strange case, but that the result for the Church will be “a greater freedom in examining the system which she has developed during the past fifteen or twenty years.” Pendleton and his wife, Beatrice, have just returned from an automobile trip through the mountains of New England with Mr. Pitcairn and Mr. Odhner. The school has just reopened, and they are looking forward to a good year.
