Elbin, Paul Nowell, 1905-?

 
The librarians at West Liberty University, West Virginia’s oldest postsecondary institution, have provided helpful information about Elbin's life and work. A Methodist minister and longtime college president, he took the helm of West Liberty Academy in 1935. During his 35-year tenure, the school became West Liberty State Teachers College and later West Liberty State College; since 2009, it has been known as West Liberty University.

In addition to his work at West Liberty, Elbin taught part time at Ohio University's Belmont campus (now known as the Eastern Campus) and preached as needed at the First Westminster Presbyterian Church in Steubenville, Ohio.

Additional information can be found in a July 29, 1951 article in The Pittsburgh Press and Chapter Three of Robert W. Schramm, West Liberty State College (Charleston, S.C.: Arcadia, 2001).

    Elbin 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.

    This part of the Guide provides information about Elbin's talks. It includes the title, scripture text, date and place the talk was delivered (if known), and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.

    Enrichment of Life: Ten Chapel Talks

    Paul Nowell Elbin

    The “talks” in this book were Elbin’s attempt “to reproduce in manuscript form an address delivered from notes” (p. iii). He notes that “About half the talks have religious themes, but they are not sermons in the formal sense” (p. iii).
