The Reuben Drefs Collection contains a song sheet and a sermon book. The song sheet is a typescript of verses of “O Where is the Home of the Soul to be Found?” On the top of the song sheet the following note is typed: “(To be sung by the Congregation in cemetery).” The song sheet is typed on a half sheet of brown paper, approximately 8 ½” x 5 ½. A note along with the song sheet reads, “Used by Reuben Drefs father.”

The sermon book, Predigten für alle Sonn-, Fest- und Feiertage nebst einigen Busstags-Predigten und Grabreden. Vols. I and II by Ludwig Hofacker, consists of many sermons in German. The book was published in 1872 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The binding on the book is in poor condition, and the spine is detached. The donor, Reuben Drefs, included a note along with the sermon book: “This was the book of sermons that kusters/ lay teachers in Poland and Russia read to the congregation in the absence of the pastor.”
