Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 'Even before a missionary takes his or her first step in the land to which God has sent him, the most difficult hurdles have already been scaled.' These were the words the missionary speaker had said at Keswick Campgrounds almost a year before. At the time I could only vaguely guess at the nature of those hurdles. Now, I knew exactly what those hurdles meant, felt like, and required. My means of supporting myself and my children was now on hold, future status: unknown. The boys were leaving opportunities that only the United States could give them. What if they got sick? What if they hated the place and wanted to come home? Could we? In Here Am I, Lord. Please Send Someone Else Cynthia Allan tells of her struggle to follow God's leading. Divorced at a young age with two young sons, her story blends humor and poignancy as she forges ahead with an uncertain hope in God's presence. But when God's finger points to a jungle mission field, pure panic ensues Rather than joyfully accepting His call, she tries to run as Jonah did. However a year later she finds herself living with her sons in a tiny hut on stilts in Ahuas, Honduras, 250 miles from any form of modern convenience, teaching in a one room schoolhouse for Mission Aviation Fellowship. Serving for a year in that remote village, the author rediscovers her trust in God, and it's not long before she and her two sons return to Central America. The next three years in a mission school in Guatemala City continue her lessons in trust. Discover the valuable lessons God teaches when you follow Him-ready or not.…

No Binding. Etat : Good. In Russian. 4 pages, complete. 46 x 31 cm. In acid free Mylar sleeve. Creased, easily remedied. This issue of RUL' is a snapshot of the concerns of the Russian émigré community in mid-1921, when the Russian Civil War was ending but the future of Russia - and of exile life - remained unresolved. Published in Berlin, then the chief center of Russian emigration, the paper maintains a sober liberal-democratic tone aimed at educated readers: former professionals, intellectuals, & political moderates displaced by revolution. The front page is dominated by the regular column, EVENTS OF THE DAY, which surveys international and Russian developments with particular attention to relations between Soviet Russia and Western powers. The editorial rejects Bolshevism but emphasizes that isolation will not resolve Europe's "Russian problem." Instead, the paper argues that economic relations with Russia are unavoidable, even as political recognition remains problematic. The tone reflects growing European fatigue with intervention & blockade. Considerable space is devoted to Russia's internal condition. Reports and commentary describe economic devastation, disorganized administration, food shortages, & industrial paralysis. While condemning Bolshevik policies as destructive and doctrinaire, RUL' stresses that Russia's collapse cannot be explained by ideology alone; it is the outcome of war, revolution, and the systematic uprooting of professional & economic life. The audience is a displaced intelligentsia aware that national recovery cannot occur without legal stability, property rights, and technical expertise. Foreign affairs coverage: correspondents' dispatches and telegrams from Poland, Finland, the Baltic states, Britain, and France. These items trace shifting diplomatic positions, border questions, and commercial negotiations. A recurrent theme is the gradual movement of Western governments from moral condemnation toward reluctant engagement with Soviet authorities, driven by commercial pressures and strategic calculation rather than ideological sympathy. Page 2 includes commentary on the émigré press itself. An article titled THE PRESS addresses the challenges of maintaining independent journalism in exile: financial precarity, factional rivalry, and dependence on foreign environments that do not always share Russian priorities. The discussion reveals anxiety about the long-term survival of a free Russian press abroad and the risk that political exile may devolve into intellectual fragmentation. The middle pages are filled with factual notices and telegrams reporting on provincial fires, economic disruptions, strikes, population movements, and administrative measures inside Russia. Their restrained style reinforces RUL's self-presentation as a reliable chronicle rather than a polemical weapon. These short items collectively convey a sense of exhaustion and instability rather than imminent renewal. The final page shifts focus to Russian life in Berlin, documenting the everyday reality of exile. Cultural listings announce theatrical performances, concerts, and lectures, demonstrating a conscious effort to preserve Russian cultural continuity outside the homeland. Extensive classified advertisements form one of the issue's most historically revealing sections, offering medical services, language instruction, employment, boarding houses, and spa accommodations in German resort towns. Particularly notable is the ADDRESS BUREAU, a service designed to help scattered émigrés locate friends, relatives, and former colleagues. This issue of RUL' embodies a moment of uneasy transition. It reflects neither revolutionary fervor nor monarchist nostalgia, but a liberal, rational attempt to interpret catastrophe, sustain civil discourse, and preserve social networks in exile. The paper records not only political events but the quiet labor of survival by Russians who no longer expected an early return home but had not yet accepted permanence abroad. …

No Binding. Etat : Poor. In Russian. 6 pages, complete. 46 x 31 cm. Title (Cyrillic): Руль Latin transliteration: Rul' English translation: The Rudder. Daily political newspaper. Issue: № 6. Saturday, 7 January 1917 (Gregorian calendar already in use in the masthead wording). Petrograd. complete; typical 6-page issue. RUL was a liberal-constitutional, anti-extremist daily closely associated with the Constitutional Complete, but: Edge losses and significant chipping, leaves broke into 4 sections; loss in margins (not affecting core text continuity), Browning consistent with wartime paper stock (1916-1917 shortages). Despite wear, all main columns are legible, and the item remains archivally meaningful due to historical date and content. This issue of Rul was published at a decisive historical moment: two months before the February Revolution and less than a year before the paper itself would be suppressed by the Bolsheviks. The issue is dominated by wartime political analysis, front-page reporting, and extended commentaries on Russia's internal instability. Prominent sections address: Voina / War): Detailed battlefield reporting and strategic assessments from multiple fronts. The tone is sober and critical, avoiding the triumphalist rhetoric found in more nationalist papers. Police reports): Civil disturbances, arrests, and public order concerns - indicative of growing unrest in Petrograd. Telegrammy / Telegrams: Rapid updates from domestic and foreign correspondents. (Khronika / Chronicle): Daily political and cultural notes, giving insight into Petrograd intellectual life. A notable characteristic of RUL is its analytical editorial voice. Articles emphasize constitutional reform, ministerial incompetence, food shortages, and bureaucratic paralysis. Several columns reflect concern that continued war combined with governmental stagnation may lead to systemic collapse - a prescient tone in hindsight. The paper also contains extensive advertising for: Literary journals (Russkaya mysl' - Russian Thought); Scientific and cultural periodicals; Theatre programs, subscription offers, and professional services. These advertisements reveal a still-functioning bourgeois reading public in early 1917, just before Russia's civil order disintegrated. Published weeks before the February Revolution; Represents the voice of the liberal opposition shortly before its extinction; Most issues of RUL were suppressed, discarded, or destroyed in 1917-1918. After 1917 Gessen emigrated and RUL was revived in Berlin (1920s) - again under Gessen's leadership. …
