Friesen’s life, along with his wife Margaretha’s, reflected many of the patterns that characterized the experience of homesteading pioneers in rural Saskatchewan during the first half of the twentieth century. During this period, the newly formed province of Saskatchewan underwent massive change as government leaders aggressively sought settlers to populate and farm its wide open grasslands. By 1911, it had become the third largest province in Canada. Rapid change continued during the next five decades as modernization impacted agriculture, transportation, and communication. By 1960, Herman and Margaretha had experienced changes and were living in a world that as young children they never imagined possible. Herman and Margaretha were not only the children of immigrant settlers, they were also a part of the Old Colony Mennonite Church. During the watershed decade of the 1960s, at the age of fifty-four, Herman became the Ältester (Bishop) of this faith community. As a bi-vocational farmer and spiritual leader, his story simultaneously offers a unique window into both the agrarian transitions that took place in the province, as well as the experience of one immigrant religious community as it struggled to navigate the tumultuous changes taking place during the first half of the twentieth century. As the spiritual leader of the Old Colony Mennonite Church during the 1960s, Friesen was faced with the challenge","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.

Although the Bible does not explicitly deal with the concept of gender equality, Fróis did not discriminate between male and female converts. For example, one of Fróis’ devout converts, Hosokawa Gracia, became a Christian martyr by having her subordinate kill her and then burn her body. The immolation of her remains became a contributing factor to the conclusion of the long-time warring state era from 1467 to 1603. During this transition, Japan reversed from being a warring state to a bakufu state (a previously existing model of governance marked by a patrilineally inherited military dictatorship). In the same period, the practice of sati or suttee (widow-burning) and witch-hunts existed in India and Europe respectively. Since the European states at the time were under the control of the Church, the vast majority of witch-hunt scholars approach the subject from a Christian perspective to explain that those who performed witch-craft had to be punished in order to maintain a godly state. Conversely, Silvia Federici approaches the witch-hunts through a Marxist framework, arguing that witches’ protests had to be suppressed to enable Europe’s transition from feudalism to capitalism – a result of the witch-hunt in Europe and its extension to Central and North America.

In the late nineteenth century, child prostitutes were in great demand for the “flesh trade” that thrived in North American Chinatowns. At the time, Chinese immigrants were discouraged from bringing their wives and families to North America. This created a great demand for child prostitutes to be brought from China to North America. Consequently, human trafficking of these “Chinese slave girls” or “yellow slaves” plagued cities along the west coast, notably San Francisco, California, in the United States up to Victoria, British Columbia, in Canada. When the founder of Oriental Home, John Endicott Vrooman Gardner (1863-1943), came to Victoria from San Francisco, he saw the plight of child prostitutes, rescued them, and arranged for them to stay at the Chinese Girls’ Home under the auspices of the WMS. These Chinese girls at the Home were eventually joined by Japanese children and women whom the matron, Miss Kate Morgan, began to take in for safekeeping and education. Later, the Home residents also included Japanese “picture brides” who experienced marital problems with their husbands with whom they had been matched for arranged marriages after having only exchanged photographs. To reflect this broader undertaking, the Chinese Girls’ Home was renamed Oriental Home in 1909. The Home came under the auspices of the United Church of Canada when Methodists merged","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers. Canadian Historical Association.
