Wherever It Is

 

North Congregational Church (UCC) of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, is presently situated on Primary Street in the charming village of St. Johnsbury. This was the family members church frequently attended by Dr. Robert H. Smith (A.A.'s Dr. Bob) and by all the Smith family members during Bob's days as a youngster. Three, and at times 4, instances a week. Judge Walter P. Smith and Susan H. Smith (Bob's dad and mom) had been there. Young Bob was there until his graduation from St. Johnsbury Academy. His foster sister Amanda Northrup was there. And his grandmother was there. The church archives and other data show the substantial involvement of the Smiths. The Judge as a deacon, Sunday college superintendent, Sunday college teacher, and Executive Committee member. Mrs. Walter Smith as the individual in cost of the church college, a Sunday college superintendant and teacher, church historian, leader of women's groups, and choir member. Bob attended all three Sunday companies and frequently the Wednesday night prayer meeting. He was active in the Young People's Christian Endeavor Society of the Church.

 

The present church has created a room obtainable just right of the church entrance exactly where the Dr. Bob Core Library is set out on shelves particularly prepared for that purpose.

 

What is in the Library

 

Tons more to arrive. And a lot of of the further items will make some genuinely new Dr. Bob treasures obtainable. These are presently awaiting select-up on Maui and some conservation proceedings.

 

Previously, there are some 2000 manuscripts, papers, and pamphlets from the church archives, from St. Johnsbury Academy, from the nearby newspaper, from the city library (the Athenaeum), and from Christian Endeavor that tell about the village, the church, the essential households, the Smiths, the YMCA, the city historical past, the city directories, the Sunday college teachings, the church Yr Publications, the sermons, and the pursuits of Judge and Mrs. Smith.

 

Also, a significant amount of pertinent A.A. publications are there. A total set of the Dick B. 29 Volume Christian Recovery Reference Set. Many biographies, Vermont historical publications, A.A. historical past publications and articles, and complimentary copies of Dick B.'s books—Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous and Dr. Bob and His Library, 3rd ed. A significant collection of United Christian Endeavor Society publications is there. Publications on Vermont Males. Publications on North Congregational Church. Publications on the YMCA. Publications on the Great Awakening of 1875. And publications about New England Congregationalism, its St. Johnsbury operate, and the leadership of the renowned Fairbanks households in its churches, missionary operate, and cooperation with the YMCA.

 

Why It Was Not too long ago Established

 

Dr. Bob was known as the "Prince of all Twelfth-steppers." His wife Anne Ripley Smith was known as the "Mom of A.A." and a founder of Akron Quantity One. Yet the only significant literature about both one of them is to be found in Dick B.'s books—and not in Akron. This in spite of the truth that Akron was the founding place of A.A.—at the Smith Residence on 855 Ardmore Avenue.

 

Early A.A. was centered on the Bible. God, His Son Jesus Christ. The Bible played a key role in the origins, founding, program, and successes of A.A. And however the genuine origin of these foci was Vermont—not Ohio. Equally Bill and Bob grew up in Vermont. Equally Bill and Bob attended Congregational Churches as children in Vermont. Their dad and mom and grandparents attended these Vermont churches. Equally Bill and Bob studied the Bible in Vermont. Equally Bill and Bob attended Vermont Academies (Burr and Burton, and St. Johnsbury, respectively) exactly where there was needed every day chapel, weekly church attendance, Bible study, and substantial YMCA involvement. In addition, equally cofounders attended Sunday colleges and churches exactly where turning into kids of God via coming to Jesus Christ, and study of the Bible had been greatly emphasized. Equally guys had been exposed to the effect of conversion to Christ in assisting alcoholics get nicely.

 

In short, the original A.A. program in Akron encompassed the quite points that Bill and Bob had discovered and been exposed to in Vermont. These integrated conversions, salvation, Bible study, revivals, evangelism, Peaceful Time, Christian fellowship, witnessing by lay evangelists, and the value of prayer. But these are not the historical facts that are found or documented in Akron nowadays. They are in St. Johnsbury. And, for Christians and for these worried with genuine A.A. historical origins and practices, Vermont is the place to appear.

 

The Dr. Bob Core Library in St. Johnsbury suits the bill. Two key resources of this historical past are our recent publications Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous and The Conversion of Bill W. See www.dickb.com/drbobofaa.shtml and www.dickb.com/conversion.shtml .
