PCA Historical Center : Inventory of the Buswell-Machen Correspondence, 1926-1936

Inventory of the Correspondence of
J. Oliver Buswell, Jr. with J. Gresham Machen

An inventory, in archival terminology, is an item by item description of a collection (or portion of a collection). Inventories are understandably labor-intensive, and thus not a standard practice in archives today, except for collections of unusual value or interest.

Partly as an exercise, but largely because of the interest in the life and ministry of Dr. J. Gresham Machen, Mr. Otis Pickett, while serving as an intern at the PCA Historical Center in the Summer and Fall of 2005, was tasked with preparing an inventory of the correspondence between Drs. J. Oliver Buswell, Jr. and J. Gresham Machen. This correspondence is preserved at the PCA Historical Center as part of the Papers of J. Oliver Buswell, Jr., and is specifically located in Box 284, files 18 through 22.

The correspondence begins with a letter from Dr. Machen dated 21 August 1926, in reply to a letter from Dr. Buswell that was dated 17 July 1926. The letter of the 17th, and any earlier correspondence between the two men is not preserved in the collection. Their correspondence continued over the course of ten years, and concluded with a letter from Dr. Buswell, dated 4 December 1936. This was Buswell's last letter to Machen, and it appears that Machen did not manage to reply to this letter. Dr. Machen subsequently died of pneumonia on 1 January 1937, while on a speaking engagement in South Dakota. In all, there are a total of 191 pages (or leaves) in the five folders of correspondence. A few additional correspondents are represented in addition to Drs. Buswell and Machen, notably Dr. Buswell's secretary, Ella M. Burgeson and Mr. James E. Bennet, a lawyer who was prominent in working with the Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions.

At a later date, we may post links to images of a small selection of the letters here described. Your input would be helpful in choosing which letters to post.

1926
From		To		Date		RE:	Page Length
JGM		JOB		08/21/1926		Reply to JOB/17 July - JGM states that he supports JOB in an effort to secure an endowment for Andover Seminary but is hesitant to sign JOB's affidavit for two reasons. The first is that JGM is concerned with the author's (of the creed) views on the 5th point of Calvinism and he wants a clarification on what the author meant by quoting, "has made an atonement for the sins of all men." The second reason is that JGM does not want to create any reason to indicate that he might be interested in leaving Princeton. In clarification, JGM assures JOB that he does not see signing the affidavit as an indication of his desire to leave Princeton, but he is worried that his enemies may twist the meaning. JGM states that he may yet sign the affidavit, but would like to seek council about what the legal implications of signing such a document would include.	2 pp.
JOB		JGM		08/25/1926		Reply to JGM/21 Aug - JOB states that he fully understands JGM's reasons for not signing the affidavit. JOB then offers any assistance to JGM in the struggle against liberalism and the enemies of the gospel. The next statement by JOB is a clarification for the reasoning of putting "has made an atonement for the sins of all men," and further describes his views concerning those to whom atonement is available. JOB reaffirms his ideologies as a 5 point Calvinist and having faith in the "absolute sovereignty of God." JOB asks JGM to file an affidavit of his own and JOB states that he believes that if more affidavits were sent then the Andover people would not be able to prove their case. JOB states that he wants to see this work carried on so that the Andover funds may be used for true evangelical work, as intended by the founders of the seminary. JOB displays his desire to see a seminary built with a faculty that has a strictly evangelical and Calvinistic basis, and he sees the establishment of such a seminary as one of the "greatest opportunities of the century."	2 pp.
JGM		JOB		09/12/1926		Reply to JOB/25 Aug - JGM thanks JOB for the statesmanlike quality of the letter of the 25^th. JGM also thanks JOB for his willingness to take a stand on an issue that is very unpopular. JGM states that he is willing to write an affidavit to help contribute to JOB's case. JGM then goes on to say that it would be a "calamity to the cause of the Gospel if the Andover endowment would be assigned to other purposes on the ground that no one can today be found to defend the Reformed Faith as set forth in the Andover Creed." JGM supports JOB in his desire to secure the funds for the establishment of an institution that would go along with JOB's aforementioned desire.	1 pp.
1928
JOB		JGM		03/30/1928		JOB writes to JGM to say that Wheaton would like to bestow upon JGM the degree of Doctor of Literature at the next commencement on June 13^th, 1928. JOB states that he hopes that this little gesture will help to assuage some of the difficulties of the present crisis at Princeton.	1 pp.
JGM		JOB		04/03/1928		Reply to JOB/30 Mar - JGM states that he will gladly receive the honorary doctorate and considers it a very high honor.

1929
JOB		JGM		09/16/1929		Western Union Telegram: JOB has just received news of the merger of Andover and "liberal Newton." JOB asks JGM if there is anything they can do to stop or prevent this move. JOB believes that the Andover fund should be preserved for the sake of principle if nothing else	1 pp.
JGM		JOB		11/20/1929		Western Union Telegram: JGM agrees that the merger is an outrage, but he is convinced that they could not use the endowment and therefore does not see how they could obtain a standing in court. JGM then states that he would rejoice in anything that could be done to prevent the merger, but he doesn't see anything that could be done or that he could do.	1 pp.
1930
JGM		EOP		02/20/1930		JGM writes to the Editor of The Presbyterian stating that he no longer wants a subscription of The Presbyterian. The reasoning for this is the removal of S. G. Craig from the editorship and himself from the Editorial Advisory Board. JGM believes that the removal of Dr. Craig has signified a removal for the cause of truth in the publication. JGM states that he is now opposed to the paper.	1 pp.

JGM proposes to shift his visit to a week later so that he could visit some friends in Chicago as well as a visit to Heidelberg college. This proposal came about by a discussion that JGM had with Everett Clark DeVelde. Mr. DeVelde thought that it might be a "fine thing if I could meet the Ministerial Association of the College."

JGM states that the original schedule will meet his needs appropriately and requests that it be followed for the occasion. JGM welcomes the opportunity to lecture on Paul. Lastly there is a somewhat self-deprecating comment made by JGM about himself not being "worth while" or worth all of the hassle, but he rejoices greatly in all that JOB has done.	1 pp.
JOB		JGM		12/26/1930		Reply to JGM/ 24 Dec - JOB thanks JGM for the last letter and states that the schedule will work out fine.

JOB		JGM		10/06/1932		JOB writes to JGM letting him know that he has always been open to speak wherever he was asked, but a dilemma has just unfolded. Princeton Seminary has asked JOB to speak on a Sunday. JOB states that he will give the same message that he delivered to Westminster when he came to speak, a message on what happens when one is exposed to a liberal seminary education. JOB states that he has done his best to keep students from being exposed to the Princeton propaganda on Wheaton's college, but many have gone against his advice and attended Princeton for financial reasons. Job says that he will drop by Westminster to pay his respects when he is in east.	1 pp.
JGM		JOB		10/10/1932		Reply to JOB/ 6 Oct - JGM states that he is sorry that his friend has to go to Princeton to preach and that he fully understands JOB's dilemma. JGM states that if JOB gives Princeton the address that he gave at Westminster then he will be giving them a "far better thing than they deserve." JGM states that what Princeton is trying to do is to get rid of Westminster and show that they are still being conservative by asking conservative men to come and speak every once in a while. JGM states however that when Westminster men and Princeton men come under the care of Presbytery there is a major difference in the two that men of true heart could easily discern. JGM shows his impatience with the Princeton propaganda and tells JOB that it is completely unfounded because in many cases Westminster offers more financial assistance than Princeton. JGM thanks JOB for all of his support. A post script reminds JOB to send all mail for Westminster seminary to the proper address.	2 pp.
JOB		JGM		11/22/1932		JOB was letting JGM know that there were several open dates for preaching in February at Wheaton if JGM was interested.

JOB	JGM		12/04/1936		JOB's last letter to JGM is filled with points of contention that JOB has found in JGM's statements, actions and theology. The first is that JOB wishes JGM to be more careful in his detail when referring to dispensationalists. JOB believes that the language that JGM uses evokes more irritation rather than conviction. For the second point JOB discusses the events surrounding the new president for the Independent Board of Foreign Missions. JOB tells JGM that his replacement may have been in response to JGM actions and words spoken against Carl McIntyre.

The fourth point is that Westminster allows their students to have alcohol on campus and allows them to go to the movies and JOB does not agree with this.		4 pp.
