Notes

Abstract: Mattie Mallory, a holiness worker and astute businesswoman, came to Oklahoma in the 1890s to care for neglected and orphaned children. The foundation she laid remains today as the City of Bethany, the Children's Center, and Southern Nazarene University. Charles Edwin Jones provides a fascinating study of Mallory's work, her association with other groups, and her use of land speculation as an adjunct to ministry.
