Official organ of the Congregational Brotherhood of America, founded in 1907 with the mission of restoring and preserving a strong masculine presence within the church. The Brotherhood Movement, which arose across multiple Protestant denominations in the early years of the Twentieth Century, was described by one contemporary observer as "a modern vehicle for the expression of virile Christianity and for emphasizing the distinctly masculine appeal of religion" (McFarland (ed), Encyclopedia of Sunday Schools and Religious Education. NY: 1915). This periodical evidently uncommon; OCLC notes a single location (Yale, a single issue); not seen in commerce.
Price: $150.00
