	John Mott
		John Mott had just returned from a tour of Protestant missions in Asia, and he was quite agitated.
		Mott was a millenarian who hoped to hasten the Second Coming by evangelizing the world "in this generation." But he was not a Fundamentalist; he believed that science was the probing of God's mind, and the strident proselytizing he had witnessed among the Fundamentalist missionaries in China deeply worried him.
		Mott Auditorium, named after John Mott, is on the campus of Ralph Winter's ecumenical U.S. Center for World Mission.

	The Mott Token - Introduction
		Mott tokens were issued in copper in both thick and thin planchet varieties, with the thick planchet being somewhat more common.
		Pietri presumed that Mott (who was born in 1768) had completed his apprenticeship at age 21, which would have been in 1789, and later celebrated this date on the token.
		Since the Mott token does not have an address it could be rather early, or it could be considered one of several New York trade token from the 1820's (or even possibly the 1830's) that used the Reich eagle design.
