This illustrated pamphlet was designed to encourage donations to support the work of Episcopal missions in Western North Carolina. Published by the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina in 1927, the pamphlet gives brief descriptions of the mission work being done in the Appalachian School (Penland, N.C.), Valle Crucis School (Valle Crucis, N.C.), Christ School (Arden, N.C.), and Patterson School (Patterson or Lenoir, N.C.) during the 1920s. The pamphlet was written by the Right Reverend Junius Moore Horner (1859-1933), bishop of the Diocese of Western North Carolina. From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established.
