Description
During the acrimonius discussion on the Masonry issue, many articles appeared in De Grondwet were published. This article, "What Should Have Been Done" was written by Teunis Keppel, the leading elder of Pillar Church, the individual who led the secession of this congregation from the Reformed Church in America. Keppel disagreed strongly with the position that the RCA took on the issue. Dr. Albertus C. Van Raalte is quoted by Keppel in one paragraph.

About the collection:
Elton J. Bruins, long-time professor in the Department of Religion at Hope College, spent years collecting documents by and about Albertus C. Van Raalte, founder of Holland, Michigan and early patron of Hope College. Documents were gathered from dozens of public and private collections, making a nearly exhaustive collection of Van Raalte's writings and reflections. It is these documents that make up the "Van Raalte Papers."
