Elder Michaux's
Sermons Recorded

For the first time in his long and colorful career as the Radio Evangelist of America, the famous Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux has brought joy to his hundreds of thousands of followers with a long-waited event the immortalization of his beloved singing sermons on phonograph records.

The recording session was arranged and conducted by two well-known Washington, D. C. business figures, the brothers Irwin and Israel Feid, who own the SUPER DISCS recording company. SUPER DISCS has issued notice that the recordings of ELDER MICHAUX'S sermons will be available to the public shortly, and will be sold in album form on an international scale. The first album will contain six sermons and feature Elder Michaux, his wife the soloist, the celebrated "HAPPY AM I" choir, and the L. S. Michaux Gospel Singers.

The importance of Elder Michaux's initial recording session which took place during regular Sunday services at his famed Church of God in Washington can be pointed out by the fact that foreign countries who are able to see him only once or twice a year may now own and hear the Elder's most popular sermons and religious songs.
The American sales potential can easily be realized . . . for Elder Michaux's annual baptismal services held at Griffith Stadium in Washington, attract average crowds of 20,000 enthusiastic devotees, including statesmen, celebrities and foreign notables.
The Elder has been heard over the CBS and MBS networks from coast to coast in America, and his sermons and songs have been piped over special lines of the British Broadcasting System throughout Europe. He is now telecasting out of Washington, D. C. over the DuMont Television hook-up every Friday night from 7:30 to 8 p.m. Elder Michaux is also heard on the East Coast every Sunday morning over Washington's WTOP 50,000 watt station. This broadcast is tuned in by his other churches in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Newport News, Virginia; Hampton, Virginia; and Edenborn, Pennsylvania; and serves as their regular Sunday sermons.
Elder Michaux first founded his church in Newport News, Virginia in 1919, moving to Washington, D. C. in 1929. He is an ordained clergyman in the Church of God, and the president of the Gospel Spreading Association.
Elder Michaux, known as the "Happy Am I" preacher, the Radio Evangelist of America and the Sage of the Potomac, has a following that numbers in the hundreds of thousands in this country and abroad, and which is steadily increasing. The Elder has become America's favorite evangelist through his reputation as a genuine asset to his race and to his followers.
Throughout his career, Elder Michaux has maintained homes for the destitute given free food and clothing to the needy among his huge following, maintained a free employment agency responsible for the employment of thousands and operated free apartment houses for evicted families of all races during the depression.
Under the Elder's direction, his congregation purchased and now own the Glebe Farm of 1,000 acres at Williamsburg, Va. that was given to support the first church ever established in America at Jamestown, Va. This is where the first slaves landed in 1619. The Elder has turned this farm, located on the historic James River, into a Memorial Park to immortalize race leadership that blazed the trail for the race up from slavery in America. The colored people of America now own and play upon the land where they once were slaves, and under the Elder's leadership they sing, "Happy Am I with My Redeemer."
This kindly and genial preacher is one of the world's best loved religious leaders. His sermons present his religion in spectacular and impressive manner, and his epigrams are famous the world over ... a typical example:
"Don't trouble Trouble 'til Trouble troubles you."
Trouble 'til
Trouble
troubles
you."
