About This Item
Denver: William L. Blessing, 1955. Newsletter. Thirty-seven issues of the weekly newsletter, slightly varying size but averaging around 8.5x11 inches, length ranging from 8 to 24 pages per issue. On many issues the original recipient has penciled comments such as "Native Fascist" in the corner of the front cover. Issues present are the following: Vol. 4 nos. 43, 46-48, 50, 51; vol. 5 nos. 1-13; vol. 6 nos. 44, 49; vol. 7 nos. 19 (volume erroneously given as 1), 21; later issues are whole numbers 343, 349, 350, 359-366, 383, 386, and 409. The fundamentalist preacher, a former Klansman born in 1900, founded the "House of Prayer for All People" in Denver, Colorado. These newsletters mix fevered anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and anti-Communism with alleged prophecies from the Bible about current events. Many of the sermons he delivered at the House of Prayer are included. Blessing became enamored with Hollow Earth theories, and some of his material included here about such topics as "The Earth's Interior and the Earth's Satellites, the Garden of Eden" found its way into his later book, "Inner Earth People And Outer Space People.
