61. Lincoln/Net: Project Overview Not only did the American Tract Society (along with other evangelical groups) (Tracts were always free.) The work of the American Tract Society alone http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/digitalprintculture.html

Print Culture By Julie Roy Jeffrey, Ph.D. Nineteenth century religion and reform were inextricably linked with the transformation of the means of communication in the early decades of the century. It is hard to imagine the spread of religious enthusiasm or reform sentiment without understanding how each effectively exploited print culture and contributed to technological change such as the development of paper making machines and the steam driven printing press. And it is hard to understand the character of print culture without seeing how both evangelical religion and reform promoted reading by creating easily understood and cheap forms of literature that could spread their message simply and quickly. In 1838, Grenville Nellen announced to an audience in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that they were living in "an ERA OF PAPER, and the AGE OF PRINT." While this news could hardly have been a surprise, many of those in the audience could doubtlessly remember a time when neither paper nor printed materials were especially plentiful and when printed matter reinforced what was already known rather than conveying what was novel and new. Perhaps some also recalled a time when books were so costly that they were to be read over and over again and implicitly contrasted that earlier day with the contemporary habit of reading widely and less intensively, of hurrying through the latest newspaper or novel, and then laying it aside permanently. "Shall we content ourselves with the post-coach speed of the eighteenth century, in the schemes for evangelization, while all worldly schemes are propelled with the locomotive speed of the nineteenth century?" asked the American Tract Society. "Shall we creep along . . . neglecting all the increased facilities Providence has given us for publishing the great salvation, while steam, and electricity, and the printing press are left to become the agents of ambition, avarice, and revolution?" The answer was a resounding no.

Voluntary Associations By Julie Roy Jeffrey, Ph.D. In the three decades before the Civil War, Americans joined numerous and varied organizations in a burst of voluntary activity to perfect the moral and religious character of American society. So significant was this campaign to transform American life that historian Stuart Blumin has suggested that the period represents "an era of voluntary innovation without parallel in American history." The voluntary associations date back to the 1790s, perhaps even earlier. The first societies, some exclusively male and others female, addressed the needs of "the poor and distressed" both within their own communities and beyond. While some of these conditions were economic and could be met with gifts of food, clothing or even money, others were not. Agreeing with clergy who emphasized the danger of religious indifference and ignorance or perhaps inspired by revivalism, many voluntary associations tried to meet spiritual needs. Some sought to provide families with Bibles or religious tracts while others raised funds for missionary efforts on the frontier or in foreign lands. Often initiated by a minister or members of a congregation, many voluntary organizations had a denominational affiliation. But as time passed, nondenominational societies with a broader membership also became common. Although some retained a local focus, perhaps the support of a local orphan asylum or a society for the relief of widows, societies began to form links with similar societies elsewhere through active correspondence (each society had a corresponding secretary). Broadening their perspective even further, many became auxiliaries to national organizations in New York. The opportunity for members of auxiliaries to attend national conventions usually held annually provided a broadening and unifying experience for people who shared similar goals but came from different places.

Bible, tract groups tailor biblical message for disasters By Adelle M. Banks Religion News Service September 24, 2001 As members of the staff of the American Tract Society gathered around their conference room television set on Sept. 11, they, like everyone else, were shocked by the terrorist acts. "Everybody was glued to the TV," recalled Mark Brown, spokesman of the ministry based in Garland, Texas. "We literally just dropped to our knees and asked God, `What can we do?'" The answer that came to them, said Brown, was to do what they always do: make tracts, small evangelistic pieces that relate the gospel to current times. Across the country, Bible societies and ministries such as the tract society have quickly responded to the nation's crisis by distributing portions of Scripture and brochures with Bible passages to encourage and inspire Americans. At the American Bible Society—located just a couple of miles from the disaster area that once was the World Trade Center—staffers worked until the early hours to develop their response to the attacks. It included new distribution of a 40-page booklet called "God Is Our Shelter and Strength." On Monday night, Gene Habecker, president of the Bible society, said he and other staffers on the street outside their building found that people of a variety of faiths welcomed the free Scriptures. He was particularly struck by one man who filled his bags with the booklets.

EVANGELICAL NEWS EVANGELICAL NEWS EVANGELICAL NEWS American Tract Society Hatches Easter Outreach Program Delivering The Gospel With Crosses, Candy, Crayons, and Cubes DALLAS, Texas, March 14, 2003 - Churches across the country can have visitors hopping over each other to attend their Easter Sunday service this year, according to Mark Brown, Marketing Director of the American Tract Society based near Dallas, Tex. "ATS has hatched an Easter outreach program for churches of all denominations and sizes," Brown said, "and churches are mobilizing now to canvas their communities with Easter invitation packs we can personalize with the church name, address and Easter service times." The 178-year-old Tract Society, the nation’s hallmark of gospel tract publishing, has been a leading force in helping Christians turn holidays like Easter and Christmas back to a religious faith focus. "Just as malls and secular marketplaces stock their shelves with stuffed rabbits and plastic eggs, ATS is supplying churches, individuals and faith-based groups a variety of tools for Easter evangelism," Brown said. The tract society is shipping thousands of Easter invitation pack orders to church groups across the country. The packs feature a wooden cross key chain and two gospel tracts, "The Cross, What Does It Mean?" and "Why Do I Need Church?" "The packs are neatly shrink-wrapped and die-cut to use as door hangers," Brown said. Easter tract treat packs with "The Beginner’s Bible Easter Story," coloring tracts, candy, and crayons are a new feature this year, according to Brown. "These treat packs are designed for Easter gifts, Sunday School hand outs and for churches give to children of visiting Easter families to read and color during the Easter service," Brown said.

Barna Finds that Pastors Favor Friendship, Lifestyle Evangelism; Pastors Say Gospel Tracts Make Evangelism “Doable” May 10, 2004 - Senior Protestant pastors (86 percent) consider relational or friendship evangelism very effective in bringing another to Christ, according to the findings of a nationwide Barna PastorPoll just released. The study was commissioned by the American Tract Society late last year and released this month as ATS marks its 179-year anniversary as a gospel publisher. Respondents named lifestyle evangelism (68 percent), event evangelism (24 percent), door-to-door evangelism (15 percent) and tract evangelism (14 percent) as other very effective methods. Less than 2 percent of the pastors named preaching as effective evangelism. Television (2 percent) and radio (1 percent) were the only media methods named as effective by a small percentage of the pastors in the study. The study found that 2/3 of the churches represented in the study used printed gospel tract pamphlets for evangelism, and that 65 percent of the pastors considered tracts a good way of making evangelism doable for the people in their respective churches. Christian bookstores were named as the primary sources of gospel tracts by the pastors, with the American Tract Society named as the respondents’ single most popular tract publisher.

HALLOWE'EN, ATS STYLE From the Office of the President, American Tract Society, Box 462008, Garland, TX 75046 September 27, 1999 These are busy days here at American Tract. We're gearing up for our biggest, most fruitful season of evangelism in the entire year - Halloween. That may surprise you. Some people believe Christians should write Halloween off as a "pagan" event. But the fact is that the original observance has deep Christian roots. Although it is far from that for most people these days. October 31 is All Hallows Eve on the church calendar. It's the evening before All Saints Day on November 1, a time for remembering those believers who have gone before us and dedicated their lives to the truth of the gospel. Over the years, the celebration of All Saints Day spilled over into the evening before - which came to be known as All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. So when we minister in Christ's name on Halloween, we are reclaiming the Christian roots of this holiday. Daniel Southern Christian Comment : This is just another in a series of evangelical surrenders to Roman Catholicism. Anyone with a knowledge of the history of Hallowe'en knows that it is basically a Roman Catholic holiday, and that what the Catholics failed to include was generously supplied by the Druids.

Swallow Stories No. XII Marnie's Angel By Sallie Chester American Tract Society, 150 Nassau Street, New York Chapter 1. Poor little Marnie Pierce, for the first time in her life, was busy making Christmas presents. The leaves which Lizzie and Gracie had gathered for her on that happy day they spent together at Aunt Elizabeth's had been pressed in a big book, and now some of them were lying around on the white cover of Marnie's little bed. She was sitting up in the pillows, and there was the least bit of color in her cheeks to-day, for she was very happy and excited. Her thin fingers, of which there was almost nothing at all but tiny bones covered with skin, were picking up leaves and pasting them on a piece of cardboard. Marnie was making a Christmas wreath. She had finished nine already, and they were laid away in a drawer waiting for Christmas. There were to be ten in all one for each of the Swallows, one for Aunt Elizabeth, and one for Aunt Kate. As her tired little fingers worked on this last wreath, Marnie wished very much that it was finished and lying away in the drawer with the others; for though she loved to do it, she had been getting so weak lately that she was afraid she might not be able to finish it for Christmas. After resting a moment, she pushed herself up a little higher and straighter on the pillows, and began again. It was great fun to be making presents for people who had given her so many much better fun than expecting her own presents. No wonder that she smiled often, and that the color in her cheeks kept growing brighter.

P A R T The late 19th century saw the coming of age of skyscraper design from the early cast-iron structures to the steel-framed buildings, rising in great numbers all over the city. The visual form of these late-19th and early 20th century buildings was still rather much tied to the revivalist forms of the bygone century, neo-Gothic, neo-Renaissance and neo-Classicism.

Built on a Broadway plot front only six meters wide the back lot on New St. was wider the site ruled out the use of massive masonry walls, prompting Gilbert's offer to design the building using the new method of skeleton steel frame. After months of convincing, the city finally approved the design and the work could start. The 11-storey, 48-meter building had an internal steel frame as the load-bearing structure, and the architect reserved the two top floors for his own use to take away any suspicions that the new owner might have about the strength of the building. The success of the design as well as the extra $10,000 the saved wall space gave in rents annually prompted a boom of steel-framed construction in the city and by the end of the century the title of world's tallest building was brought to (and retained in) NYC.
