years in Owego, New York, and Williamstown and Springfield,
Massachusetts. Pages 25 through 75 primarily chronicle his writing
for tkt Yaw York Independent. Gladden's contributions to religious
perioeiczls appear throughout pages 75- 329 and follow h i s career

in the 1 8 7 0 s and 1880s; and religious themes such as fellowship
