Women's Missionary Society Pamphlets 1894-1918 ; 1912-1916.

This series contains pamphlets and other literature pertaining to mission work and women's missionary societies. There are pamphlets that predate the beginning of the Women's Missionary Society of the General Council (WMS). These were published and distributed by the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania and Adjacent States. Of these, some have writing at the top of the first page denoting a specific conference or a publication date, or both. Other pamphlets in this series are published either by the WMS or the Cooperative Literature Committee of the Women's Missionary Societies of the Lutheran Church. There are some pamphlets with no indication of where or when they were published. Many of the pamphlets are not dated. The majority of the items in this series pertain to foreign and inner mission work of the General Council. There are pamphlets highlighting work in India, Japan, home missions, and junior work. Some of these are recollections written by missionaries. In addition to the literature about specific mission work, there is information about systematic mission study, deaconess work, rules of order for women's missionary societies, prayer series, missionary program calendars, subscription renewals for Lutheran Mission Worker, and suggestions for monthly society meetings. In addition there are two items that are not literature. There are two styles of small stickers, one pertaining to the Literature Department of the WMS, and the other for the "United Subscription Campaign," 1913. There is also what is described as a celluloid lapel pin with a red cross on a white background.
