Arrangement

The original order was largely kept in tact, but considerable arrangement was included when none seemed to exist. The collection is arranged topically into folders labelled articles, sermon manuscripts, sermon outlines, church bulletins, notes, lessons, correspondence, and marriage and funeral manuscripts. Within each folder the documents were arranged chronologically if a date was written.
