| 520 | _a"Vain Oblations" by Katharine Fullerton Gerould is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the tragic events involving Saxe and Mary Bradford, exploring themes of love, faith, and the human spirit in the context of the harrowing experiences faced by Mary as a missionary in Africa and her fiancé Saxe’s desperate quest to find her amidst chaos and suffering. The opening of the story introduces Saxe during a pivotal and desperate phase of his life as he prepares to venture into the heart of Africa in search of Mary, who has encountered a grave ordeal during her missionary work. The narrator reflects on their time together as they traveled, revealing both Saxe’s deep affection for Mary and the emotional toll of their separation. Saxe’s complex feelings toward the possibility of Mary’s survival are intertwined with his understanding of her character and the societal expectations placed on her as a New England woman. This sets the stage for a profound exploration of personal sacrifice and the lengths one will go to for love, while hinting at the tragic fate awaiting the characters.
