Need to find an oratorical piece; where to find?

Question

I need to find this oratorical piece "Help This Humble Man, Oh God!" by Og Mandino ASAP. Any ideas where I could find them?

Answer 1

I suggest trying find it the "old school" way - find a local library that has copies of "Vital Speeches of the Day". It is a publication that has published influential speeches (likely determined by its publisher/editors). Since they began publishing in 1934, it's likley they may have published some of Og Mandino's speeches. If so, the library may have a copy on microfiche.

I also found a good list of other sources at SUNY Albany.
