Scope and Content Note

These papers include sermon carts and pict-o-graphs created by Artie Odell Collins. These multi-part teaching aids are a variation of blackboard or chart preaching in that each element or main point of the sermon could be added to a flannel-backed board one at a time. They were like charts in that they could be reused; they differed from charts in that charts furnished all elements of a sermon to the audience at once. Each entry in the inventory below represents one set of aids for a single sermon and preserves the title or description Collins generated. Most sets contain 6-8 elements. There is no sequential order across all sets; each sermon stands alone. The dates of their creation and usage are estimates.

Biographical Note

Collins served as a gospel preacher in congregations in Tennessee and Alabama for more than 60 years. He also traveled and preached at gospel meetings and lectureships in 12 states.
