Hardback. especially in regard to Anglican orders.198pp card covers, London1921 Very good.

Sewn printed wraps. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. 12mo (book measures 4 1/4" wide X 5 3/8" tall). Total of 80 pp. printed in 8-point font. Original tan printed wrappers, a variant binding that contrasts with the pink or blue copies we've seen or handled. Faint dampstain to the top fore-edge corner of first five leaves, not affecting text. The book was trimmed off-kilter, with the fore-edge showing a slightly serrated surface. In all, an attractive copy. A surprisingly engaging account of a voyage by steamer (the Oregon), as indicated in the title, with little proselytizing by the good reverend. While Portland, OR remains the titular terminus of the voyage, he in fact lands in Walla Walla after heading up the Columbia on a couple other vessels, then by stage and narrow gauge train to Walla Walla.En route to the Columbia, the Oregon stopped in Rio de Janeiro for coal, only to find the city quarantined due to a yellow fever outbreak. Near Terra del Fuego, McConkey presents a dismal view of Puntas and Sandy Point, where a penal mutiny occurred, ruining the town and its morale. Entering the Columbia -- to which the Hudson is compared "an insignificant stream" -- he writes, "Farewell Pacific! I cannot say that thou art peaceful." At the time, the Oregon was the largest steamer to cross the Columbia bar. Includes references to "grog shops" in Astoria (open on Sunday "and not a few"), negative remarks on Umatilla, and laudatory view of Walla Walla, then composed of "3,000 Walla Wallians," and, surprisingly, a comment that heralds the region's future: "Walla Walla grapes are unequalled."In sum, a charming narrative presented in a slightly crude production with the desirable hallmarks of a territorial print shop. An uncommon Walla Walla imprint not found in GRAFF, HOWES, SOLIDAY, SMITH or STREETER.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. John Hassler Dietrich lived from 1878 to 1957. He started his ministry as an Orthodox Christian Minister, became a moderate Christian, Moderate christian Unitarian, Scientific Naturalist and then called his teachings Humanism. He became a Humanist Minister in about 1911 in the Unitarian Church of Spokane, Washington, and then at First Unitarian in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1916 to the 1940's. He said "The Supreme discovery of the ages is that the Universe is governed by Natural Law rather than by a Deity." and " The whole Orthodox christian church today spending its time in trying to propitiate a God who is not angry, to save souls that are not lost, that they may enter a heaven that does not exist, expending its energies along mistaken channels toward issues that are entirely Imaginary. also, "Those who find Humanism's notion of religion without God absurd, have not been able to sound the depths of its mystic meaning. Those who too easily stigmatize its devotion to reason and reality as cold and meaningless miss its profound call to life and purpose. Our sojourn here becomes a wonder-awakening romance, a pilgrimage through mysteries and marvels, and as we walk together, comforting each other, inspiring each other, helping each other, loving each other, our hearts burn within us." In 2016 the Minneapolis Unitarian Society is Celebrating 100 years as a Humanist Society. There have been many Humanists since that time but no one has laid out more Humanist values than Dietrich. He spoke to many thousands of people live, and on the radio, wrote over 1500 presentations, and copies were distributed across the World. He became Known as the Father of Religious Humanism. His writings reveal that he was a Secular Humanist Leader and so I, Rev. Douglas K. Peary, Editor, call him The Father of all Modern Humanism. This item is printed on demand.
