More than twenty years later, when Ryerson was himself received on trial at Saltfleet in 1825, the young preacher found himself surrounded by Americans who, like Bangs, felt themselves called to spread the Methodist message not only in their own country, but also in British North America. Not including the six preachers received on trial that year, among them American-born Anson Green, almost 30% of the preachers in attendance were born, bred, and received on trial in the United States. Americans, then, were no strangers to the young Egerton Ryerson. And yet, later that summer, when Ryerson crossed the border into the United States for the first time in his life, he remarked in his journal, as though it came as a kind of revelation, that, “the manners of the people are not pleasant to me.” To describe Ryerson’s views of America and Americans as complex would be to understate the case. Contradictory might be nearer the mark. On the one hand, Ryerson often corresponded with American Methodists and more than once attended the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a Canadian delegate; he served as the emissary who personally solicited American Wilbur Fisk to serve as Canada’s first Methodist bishop; and he did not scruple to acknowledge the great debt he owed to Nathan Bangs for the degree to which Bangs’s Letters to Young Ministers of the Gospel had shaped and influenced him as a young","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.

It is for this reason that traditional historical studies have been called “Men’s History.” Within these studies women are not typically mentioned unless they were related to an important male figure or “very occasionally and exceptionally, women who performed roles generally reserved for men.” In other words, women are not usually considered worth discussing in historical works that follow traditional historical methods. Conventional historians exclude women because they are solely considered in relation to marriage, family life, and the “house” and thus appear to have no history of their own. Heide Wunder explains that “their economic, social, and cultural accomplishments were seen as ‘close to nature,’ or of minor importance, or the result merely of passive execution.” Conventional historians and traditional historical methods neglect social contexts and are oriented toward political or constitutional","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.

Carson, along with her friend, Mary Lawson Bell, opened the first Canadian settlement house, the Young Women’s Settlement, in Toronto in 1899. It became Evangelia House in 1902. Later, in 1912, she was hired by the Presbyterian Church in Canada’s Board of Social Service and Evangelism to work with Dr. John G. Shearer (1859-1925) in organizing a string of houses across Canada. Over the next six years she was the driving force behind establishing five settlement houses associated with the Presbyterian Church: St. Christopher’s House in Toronto, Chalmers and Saint Columba houses in Montreal, Robertson Memorial Institute in Winnipeg, and the Community House in Vancouver. While in Canada she was also sought after as a consultant to other nascent neighbourhood houses and their leaders, lectured in the newly formed University of Toronto social work program, and worked for the Dominion (National) YWCA. While numerous Canadian scholars note her importance, especially during the second decade of twentieth century – a period when the socalled “problem of the city” was on the agenda of concerned citizens and church leaders – little is known about her. In this essay I provide an overview of what historians do know about her and then discuss some reasons for the obscurity that surrounds her life and thought. Probable reasons include her American-Canadian nomadic lifestyle, her lack of long-term ties to any institutional organization, her scant number of publications, and her apparent lack of formal familial ties.","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.

Led by the enterprising Marie de l’Incarnation in 1639, and precipitated by both her religious visions calling her to New France and her persistence in pursuing this calling, the convent was established by a woman who at the age forty had gone through many changes in her life: young mother, widow, business woman, nun, mystic, and now foundress and hopeful missionary. This latter aspect was also unique: the nuns’ active role in converting Aboriginal peoples was to be a complementary role to the Jesuits. Work has been done on Marie and her attributes; the community itself has had a lesser examination. A community, in relation to both its spirit and its canonical legal status, is not as such a true community until it has a rule and constitutions. This is where the Quebec Ursulines played an atypical role. In what was essentially a political move, nuns from the two dominant “styles” of Ursulines in France came together to form this community. What resulted was the need for a constitution that reflected this new unity: it was a unique development on its own, since Ursuline convents had been urged to adopt either the constitutions of Paris or Bordeaux.
