A wonderful 195pp unpublished handwritten manuscript of complete sermons by Elder Abraham H. Long [1823-1908] of the Church of God. He was a prolific and high profile leader among the Winebrennerians during their revivalist exit from the German Reformed Church. His journals are in the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. 

Long was converted during a Winebrennerian revival in 1851 in Mt. Joy, Pennsylvania. He was ordained in 1853 and quickly became a prominent leader in the movement. 

There is an extensive biography here, hosted by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania:
