William Jackson Callahan papers

The William Jackson Callahan papers consist of about seventy-five items, primarily sermons and writings, dating from 1890 to 1936. Writings by Martha Taylor Callahan also are included. Of particular interest may be a typed copy of "Tent Evangelism" by Mr. Callahan, published by the Christian Literature Society in Tokyo, and an outline on Japan which includes financial and statistical data on education, industry, earthquake reconstruction, and salaries. Also present is information on Mr. Sterling Fischer, an acquaintance of the Callahans and announcer for NBC. The collection contains two albums of photographs taken in Japan. Included are pictures of the aftermath of an earthquake which occurred in 1923, as well as photographs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Individuals represented in the photograph albums include Bishop Paul B. Kern, Dr. Hayward Pearce (Emory 1891), and Dr. George Dorough (Emory 1890). Several Japanese writings also are present including what appears to be a practice tablet.
