James L. Slay, Stall's Pastor's Pocket Record

The James L. Slay collection came in one accession of two boxes or two linear feet. The condition of items received was very good. It is compiled of Slay’s preaching on 62 audiocassettes, sermon outlines, plaques, educational degrees, newspaper and magazine articles, photographs and miscellaneous documents. Sermons and lectures were in binders and legal pads. All newspaper articles have been photocopied onto archival paper for preservation and originals have been properly disposed. Everything has been chronologically ordered to the best of my ability.

Although the collection is not large, it provides primary sources for understanding the thoughts, organization and writing style and theology of a Pentecostal minister. Six years of monthly reports, 1934-1939, offer an important insight into the ministry, travel and expenses of a productive minister during this period in the history.
