Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton responds to Tilson’s letter that the Church would be happy to have Bishop Benade’s letter, his doctrinal notes, and his translation of De Verbo. He writes, “Anything connected with him which may serve to throw light upon his life and work should be preserved, and I know of no place better adapted for such preservation than our fireproof library building here in Bryn Athyn.” He believes Bishop Benade will come to be seen as a great pivotal figure in the history of the Church and the Academy movement. On a personal note, he adds, “…you know the impression he made on my youthful mind was not only deep and abiding, but that it has never been covered over.” Pendleton is pleased that Tilson’s health has improved, and he hopes Tilson’s trip to York, Failsworth, and Bristol will not be too taxing. He read with interest the “Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London” and has now given it to the library. Names mentioned: Bishop (William Henry) Benade, Linnean Society of London
