About this Item

8.75 x 6.25", pink wrappers with black lettering, 92 pp. A scarce pamphlet printing a collection of sermons by Reverend Eugene C. Hatcher, who served as the editor and manager of the Southern Christian Recorder, the newspaper of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, starting in 1940. The pamphlet is undated, but the Author's Note mentions that Hatcher had served as Editor of the newspaper for twelve years at the time of publication. Hatcher went on to serve as Bishop, presiding over four West African countries, as well as president of the A.M.E. Bishop's council. One of the sermons, titled "The Black Woman Who Got The White Woman Told Or The Excellency Of Mine," discusses the progress of the African American in the years since emancipation and the importance of the A.M.E. church and prayer in maintaining this progress. Another sermon, "How To Be Saved Just Now," contains an anecdote about "Zekiel, of the Old Slave Days," who lived on a Mississippi plantation and found salvation in his dying hour. A third sermon, "The Place of Evangelism In The Program Of The Church," discusses the importance of missionary work in the A.M.E. Church. An extremely scarce collection of sermons, with no copies in OCLC. Text block detached from wrappers, which are lacking spine covering and have been crudely repaired with many pieces of clear tape and two pieces of duct tape, slight toning to pages.
