21 letters and covers from missionary in Korea in 1930'/1935
This is a very interesting and lengthy newsy set of 21 covers, all with enclosures, from a Christian missionary in Taiku(Taegu ), Korea, Reverend Henry Munro Bruen, and his wife Dorothy. The letters were all sent to Skagway or Barrow, Alaska, either to Reverend and Mrs. Frederick G. Klerekoper (2), or to Mrs. Klerekoper only (18), or to the Reverend only (1). The earliest cover is dated October from 1935, and the latest date is October 21, 1938. Some letters are typewritten, most are hand written. Several have enclosures, including playbills, a birthday card, news forwarded from Philadelphia and Portugal and Seattle, and there is one with pressed budding flowers..........Contents talk about tent preaching and rather heroic efforts to christianize a very non-christian society, and about the usual homesickness and holidays and politics - Japan at this time. The letters present a very clear picture of the life and anxieties and small successes of the Reverend Bruen and his followers.....Henry Munro Bruen lived in Korea for 40 years from 1899 to 1941 ................................
1935(2 letters)/1936 (9 letters )/ 1937(4 letters) /1938 (6 letters)
......Extremly rare source on the History of Presbyterian Church in Korea

Streams in the Desert/1925
hard cover, 8vo.378 pages. first edition.
Author lived a number of years in the mission field of the Orient ,Japan and Korea. Now over eighty years since its first publication, this marvelous devotional by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman has established itself firmly in the ranks of the Christian classics. Written from Mrs. Cowman's rich experiences with life, from its dry wastelands to its well-watered gardens, Streams in the Desert is a legacy of faith and wisdom that is time-tested faithfully to the One who alone can slake their spiritual thirst. In the midst of today's fast-paced world, the wisdom of Streams in the Desert remains refreshing, relevant and trustworthy. Turn to it daily, tune out the clamor of living, and let these prayerful writings inspire fresh hope, confidence, and a deep awareness of God's presence in your life. Author Biography: Mrs. Charles E. Cowman worked as a pioneer missionary with her husband in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917, during which time they helped found the Oriental Missionary Society. When Mr. Cowman's poor health forced the couple to return to the United States, Mrs. Cowman turned her attention to caring for her husband until his death six years later. Out of Mrs. Cowman's experiences and heartbreak came her first book, Streams in the Desert, followed by its companion Springs in the Valley. During the next twenty-five years, Mrs. Cowman inspired several nationwide Scripture distribution campaigns and wrote seven more books. Finally, on Easter Sunday in 1960, at the age of ninety, Mrs. Cowman met face-to-face the God she had served so faithfully for nearly a century. Author Biography: Mrs. Charles E.
