A very rare, if not unique surviving copy of a celebratory pamphlet focused on Bishop King Hezekiah Burruss, the founder of the Churches of God, Holiness in Atlanta. The work includes laudatory articles on Bishop Burruss, a detailed "Biographical Sketch" by Ruth I. Cornelius, lists of church members and branch churches and their contributions, and several advertisements peppered throughout. The text is also illustrated with numerous photographs of Burruss, his founding congregation, other church officials and various groups within the congregation, and more. These include group portraits of church elders, ushers, choirs, and the congregation of the Churches of God, Holiness branch in the Panama Canal Zone. No other copies of this pamphlet that we could find.
