Bain User Guide
Robert H. Ellison
The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.
At the moment, Bain has only one sermon in the Library; it has a Guide of its own so the records will be complete. It includes the title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.

Golden Pot
John Wallace Bain
This book was published when Bain was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Altoona, Pennsylvania (now Providence Presbyterian Church). The title was inspired by Hebrews 9:4, which notes that the Israelites’ “ark of the covenant” contained “the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant.” As Bain notes in the inscription, simply possessing the pot “would enrich no one, but to appropriate its contents would enrich any soul beyond compare.” It was Bain’s hope that if readers would likewise “appropriate” his book and “use its contents,” they would be “enriched” as well.

John Wallace Bain
By the decree of President Andrew Johnson, June 1, 1865 was a National Day of Mourning in memory of Abraham Lincoln. This is one of many sermons that paid tribute to Lincoln; others include "The Voice of the Rod" by Phineas Gurley, who also preached funeral sermons for both Lincoln and his young son Willie.
Bain was a Presbyterian minister and author of such works as God's Songs and the Singer (Pittsburgh: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1871); Freemasonry and Kindred Orders Self-Condemned (Pittsburgh: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1872); and Pilgrim's Progress, as illustrated by J.W. Bain's Collection of Paintings (New York: Published by J.W. Bain, 1868). His work in Appalachia included pastoring The United Presbyterian Church in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania and the First Presbyterian Church of Altoona (now
Providence Presbyterian Church).
