Victorious service songs : Rodeheaver's combination song book for all services
Rare Books
We believe that our friends and the great public will be better pleased with Victorious Service Songs than any other book we have published. Twenty years of association in writing, selecting and publishing gospel songs, combined with the knowledge acquired by observation in conducting the music of the largest congregations and choruses ever assembled for Christian worship, has given us a wealth of experience, the result of which we are passing on to you in this volume. From the beginning of our song ministry our ambition has been to raise the standard of gospel hymns and songs. We realized that this could not be brought about suddenly, but must be accomplished through a steady and natural growth. While fully appreciating the value of many of the old standard hymns (which appear in the hymn section in the larger type), we are firmly convinced that the tuneful, melodious gospel song must not be lost if we are to attract and retain the interest of young people in the service of song -- that vital factor of importance to the present and future activities of the church. With a reasonable number of new songs, together with many of the popular modern favorites, we have herein included a large number of the most famous hymns and tunes of the church -- a combination of both new and old songs that will admirably serve each and every department of the church work and worship. --Preface.

Jonathan Club letter to Henry E. Huntington, February 16, 1905
Manuscripts
Mr. H.E. Huntington, Pres. Jonathan Club, No. 27 Broad St., New York City, New York. Dear Sir:- Your letter of Jan. 13th was presented to the Board at their last regular meeting. I regret a reply has not been given before but same was occasioned from the fact of our disorganized condition and having held no regular meeting recently. As you are probably aware, we were obliged to leave our old quarters and have now simply an office for our Assistant Secretary in the Pacific Electric Bldg, to be used temporarily until the new quarters are ready for occupancy. I am directed by the Board to tender our regrets at your desire to resign the Presidency of the Club and to say that we have considered it would not be advisable to take any action thereon at this time, for the reason that the business of President can be taken care of by Vice-President Rule until our next Annual Meeting which occurs in May next.We earnestly hope that you will be pleased to allow your name to again be presented for the Presidency.Yours very truly,C.H. White (signature)Secretary.

How beautiful this place can be
Rare Books
"The place is South Africa. It is home to my family it is where I was raised ... I left. I left for professional reasons, to pursue picture-making in the capital of photography, New York City. I have been living outside of South Africa for eleven years now, but have returned annually to make pictures there over the past five years ... The attempts to represent the complexity of South Africa by photographing its diverse constituents seemed too obvious an approach ... I began to photograph my family and stayed with that subject, occasionally including the lives of close friends ... The text that accompanies some of the images in the book is drawn from excerpts from my own and extended family's letters ... In this book, the three specific locales I explore are: home interiors, gardens, and open landscape. Within each milieu are intersecting images and actions that both remind me of my personal story and act as a wider lens on how we, as a group, have projected our culture and history upon the land and its structures"--From introduction.
