Cox, the first Executive-Secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention's Historical Commission. The articles and sermons are from various ministers Roland Q. Leavell, E. Y. Mullins, Louie D. Newton, and W. O. Vaught. The Collection's scrap-books include general clippings concerning Baptist leaders and events such as the 1939 Baptist World Alliance meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, and Mrs. Spalding's family such as her father-in-law, A. T. Spalding. Other topics in the collection are discussions about separation of church and state, race relations, and home and foreign missions.
