Northeastern Baptist College rejoices in the provision of this special library established in honor of Charles and Pauline Hogue. The initial corpus of the general collection and library infrastructure were provided by their children and families. Serving in various ministry roles as lay leaders in churches in Oklahoma and Colorado, the Hogues have set a great example of what it means to be Baptist laymen who love God, love His Church and love those in need of Christ. Their love and care has led each of their children to become faithful servants of the Lord and His Church, including Cynthia Sue (Hogue) Ballard, our President's wife.

This special collection includes several Bibles, as well as monographs on Baptist History, Baptist Doctrine, Baptist Preachers, Baptist Sermons, American Evangelists, American Patriotism and the Christian Family. This collection is named after our President's parents and has been provided by their eight living children and their families. The category choices reflect the key things the Ballards passed on to their children. The centerpiece of the special collections room will be a sitting area with a small table, upon which sit a Bible, a Strong's Concordance, a Webster's Dictionary and a copy of The Pilgrim's Progress. Ophir often told his children that these were four books every Christian should own.
