content: This photograph (.1) and program (.2) featuring the same photograph depict Rev. John B. Randolph and the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Haddonfield, New Jersey. The photograph shows Randolph standing in front of a studio backdrop of a column and flowers. He wears a dark-colored three-piece suit, a dark bowtie, a pocket watch, and holds a key in his right hand. His right arm is bent at the elbow and he stands with his body turned to the left but his face directly at the camera. On the reverse a handwritten inscription erroneously identifies him as Rev. Theodore O. Randolph.

content: The program (.2) features a print of the same photograph at the center front with text above and below, including his correct name identified in type below the photograph. The interior pages of the program contain the schedule of events for October 25, 1925, celebrating the remodeling of the church. A print of a drawing of the church on the back page indicates a "new cornice" and a "future spire." The program is printed all in black, and is formed from a single sheet of paper folded in half vertically to make four pages.
