Thomas Armitage: Baptist Pastor, Historian, And Leader, Gregory A. Smith
Thomas Armitage: Baptist Pastor, Historian, And Leader, Gregory A. Smith
Gregory A. Smith
Thomas Armitage (1819-1896) was a Baptist pastor, author, and leader who ministered to a single congregation—New York City’s Fifth Avenue Baptist Church—for forty years. Despite his accomplishments, he has largely been forgotten other than being noted as the author of A History of the Baptists. In addition to serving faithfully in the pastorate, he played a significant role as a leader in the American Bible Union. His English birth, his parents’ untimely death, and his Methodist rearing all made it unlikely that he would become one of the most influential Baptist pastors in nineteenth-century America. His story is, therefore, a …

Sermons For Special Sundays, John Agee Holt
Holt, John Agee, 1920-2012

Seven Words, John Agee Holt
Holt, John Agee, 1920-2012
According to the Preface, “This book is based on a series of pre-Easter messages first delivered to…the Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church of Washington, D. C.” They were thus preached outside Appalachia; they are included in the Library to help illustrate the full range of Holt's preaching.
Children's Sermons In Stories, Julius Fischbach
Children's Sermons In Stories, Julius Fischbach
Fischbach, Julius, 1894-?
The Preface states that “The stories presented in this collection were given to the children of the First Baptist Church, Lansing, Michigan, during the morning worship programs” (p. 7). They were intended to be “always in harmony with the theme of the morning sermon,” and to add “color and attractiveness” to the messages delivered to the adults (p. 8).
The sermons were delivered outside Appalachia, but Fischbach has significant ties to the region, so they can be included in the Library.
Sermonettes For Boys And Girls, Julius Fischbach
Sermonettes For Boys And Girls, Julius Fischbach
Fischbach, Julius, 1894-?
According to a newspaper article included in Marshall’s copy of the book, Sermonettes is the “third of Dr. Fischbach’s books to be published in the field of religious teaching for boys and girls.” As he writes in the Foreword, “It is hoped that many of the boys and girls themselves will honor the book by reading its pages. It has been a labor of love, because there is no finer audience than the children of our churches and our firesides.”
It is likely that the sermons were delivered outside Appalachia. Fischbach, however, has significant ties to the region, so they …
Squaring Up: Fifty Talks To Juniors, Julius Fischbach
Squaring Up: Fifty Talks To Juniors, Julius Fischbach
Fischbach, Julius, 1894-?
In the Foreword, the editors describe this collection as a “series of simple and interesting talks” that shows how much Fischbach “understands and likes boys and girls.” A newspaper clipping pasted into the inside back cover ends with “We congratulate him upon this contribution of his to the children’s work not alone in our church but throughout the denomination as well.”
It is likely that the sermons were delivered outside Appalachia. Fischbach, however, has significant ties to the region, so they can be included in the Library.
