Weird Tract Number 94: "The Beginning of The End" by Jr. Mata (Pilgrim Tract Society)

demented gospel tract

Troy Davis writes:

This is a four-page pamphlet put out by the Pilgrim Tract Society. It is the testimony of Jr. Mata, a heroin addict in the 1970s who found Jeebus. There is nothing particularly interesting about the contents of his testimony; this tract is a part of the museum's collection mainly for the demented outsider art on the tract's cover.
