24 page tract (as paginated by the publisher this count includes covers), stapled, 3 1/8 by 5 3/4 in. Undated, this printing is no earlier than 1937 given the ad in the rear for Cecil James Sharp’s Personal Evangelism (1937). Claude Spencer (Author Catalog) by 1946 knows of four printings of this tract, all with pictures of Bibles on the cover. He doesn’t know of this printing, no. 3252. The cost of this one, per hundred, is $2.50; it is significantly higher than the .75 per c of the ones Claude knows. So, maybe even late 40′s?
I wonder how F. D. Kershner’s “Restoration Handbook” compares with Leslie Thomas’?
Have not checked that one specifically, but will add it to my Shepherd research to-do list.
Facts was still in print til at least ten years ago. PH Welshimer was the minister of the Canton Ohio First Christian for over 50 years. The Library at Milligan College bears his name and contains his personal papers.
Thanks Clint. A long while ago I started to compile a precis for PHW; will revisit it and post it here.
