Description
The collection consists primarily of sermon notes and sermons (1783-1797). It also includes a few sets of notes labeled "lecture" and lists of catechetical questions based on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Most of the sermons were preached at Beth-Salem church in north Georgia; some notes bear notations indicating they were preached at Goshen, Cloud's Creek, Providence, Fairforest, Shugar [sic] Creek, and New Hope. Three documents dated late September, 1789 are titled "Preparation Sabbath," and "For the Fast Day," and "Action." Sermon notes from December 9, 1795 are titled "Fast of Humiliation Sermon." Several additional documents are titled "Action" sermons.
