Description
Birmingham, Alabama: [N.P.], 1945. Very good. 6 " x 4¾". Stapled thin card wrappers. Pp. 68. Very good: light scuffing and sunning to wraps; long vertical crease to one page, two others with brief inked notations. This is an unrecorded manual on presenting Women's Day observances, seemingly self-published by an African American woman who served as the first (and longtime) "State Counselor" of an organization for young Black Baptist women in Alabama, Pauline Thomas Campbell. In 1945, members of the Women's Auxiliary to the Alabama Baptist State Convention founded a "Young Matrons" division to keep young Black women involved with the church after Sunday School and marriage. Pauline Thomas Campbell was appointed its first Counselor, a role she held from 1945 to 1967. A 1969 news article we found online called her a "Christian-Missionary writer of literature on the local, state, and National levels" who also served as a field representative of the Home Mission Board and at least 26 years as secretary of the State Sunday School and B.T.U. Congress. She graduated from Selma University, Miles College and Union Baptist Theological Seminary in Birmingham, and we found evidence of her speaking and organizing events as late as 1975. This booklet lays out the writer's "new improved" tips for presenting programs and addresses in honor of Men's, Women's and Young Matron's Days. The preface explained that Women's Day had started "in the brilliant mind of Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs," who had recommended it to the National Convention while secretary in 1907. Campbell argued that "The time has long past for women of the Christian Church of this age to stop blundering, and present a program that will be informative, inspirational and spiritual for all classes of people. This cannot be done easily; a long range intensive planning of several settings is required for an all-around successful observance." The book goes on to instruct on said planning, offering outlines, "hints" and excerpts from "National Baptist Convention women's sayings" as well as African American poets. There are Bible passages, theme ideas and addresses delivered by Campbell herself, along with her take on being a "Young Matron's Counselor": "you work hard, but do not expect to acquire wealth . . . you face many frustrations in sensing your own inadequacies and in the lack of comprehension upon the part of others. Yet, the rewards are many and wonderful . . ." Rare and instructive inspiration from a leader in the Black Baptist women's movement. No holdings were located in OCLC or online.

Description
Salt Lake City, UT: Printed by Smith Secretarial Service, 1968. First edition. Hardcover. 274pp. Octavo [25.5 cm] Black grained cloth with title printed on the backstrip. Very good. The title on the spine has faded. The rear pastedown has a bookbinder's label. There are two blind stamps from a previous owner on the front free endsheet and title page. The pages are very clean. One of 500 copies. Brigham Young began keeping a daily journal early in the year of 1839, for regular entries in his journal do not appear until that time. About the same time he wrote a short history of his life which he then inserted in front of his daily journal. Dated and particularly detailed entries, involving the Zion's Camp march and several of his early missions, indicate that either he had kept some records of the important events in his life or he had access to records kept by associates during those times. In 1845, Brigham Young prefaced his History with a brief life sketch of his parents and each of his brothers and sisters.

Description
Moscow: Pravda, 1947. Softcover. First edition; 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; pp. 32; stapled printed wraps; age-toning to margins; a few sentences on last page underlined in pencil; small closed cuts to head and tail of spine; overall very good or better. Vsesoiuznoe Obshchestvo po Rasprostraneniiu Politicheskikh i Nauchnykh Znanii (The All-Union Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge) replaced the League of Militant Atheists, also called The Union of the Godless, in 1947. The League had been formed in 1925, by the Communist Party, as an atheistic and anti-religious organization of common workers and intelligentsia. In 1947 the Society commenced publishing journals and propaganda materials and it sponsored lectures, demonstrations and parades. Dedicated to eradicating religious beliefs and promoting science and knowledge, the public lectures were diligently recorded and printed (example of which is the current one) in a pamphlet form occasionally with numerous illustrations. The topics covered medicine, scientific discoveries, Communist leaders’ works and speeches, history, notable names, anti-Imperialist propaganda, etc. In 1963 the organization was yet again renamed to ‘Znanie’ (Knowledge) and it is still in existence today. Developments in the science of psychology in the Soviet Union in the years after the Revolution to the present (then 1947) time.
