Description
William B. Hogg (1880-1937) (alternative name Josiah Hopkins), while ministering with the Paul Rader organization in Los Angeles in 1933, felt called to establish a "country church" in the middle of Hollywood. He modeled it on the country church in Ashland, his first pastorate, calling it the little Country Church of Hollywood, on Goose Creek. The collection consists of approximately 50 booklets written by Josiah Hopkins or his wife Sarah, many of them sermons delivered over the air on radio KFAC, Hollywood, from the little Country Church of Hollywood.
Background
William B. Hogg (1880-1937) was associated with the ministry of Paul Rader at the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle where he offered a radio program called the Breakfast Brigade. In 1933, while ministering with the Paul Rader organization in Los Angeles, he felt called to establish a "country church" in the middle of Hollywood. He modeled it on the country church in Ashland, his first pastorate, calling it the little Country Church of Hollywood, on Goose Creek. His Goose Creek quartet, with Rudy Atwood of the "Old Fashioned Revival Hour" at the piano, was an important part of his radio program and in popular demand for performances in local churches.
