- In 1852, he confessed Christ and was baptized by Dr. W. A. Belding. The next year he entered Hiram College, then called the "Western Eclectic Institute." Here he remained as a student for several years, enjoying among his many advantages the personal instruction and friendship of James A. Garfield.
Having chosen the ministry of the gospel as his life-work, he delivered his first sermon, September 13, 1863, at Manchester, O(hio). Since that time he has been constantly and actively engaged in ministerial labors. He has always been a warm friend and earnest helper of Christian missions; and from 1878 to 1882 he served as Corresponding Secretary of the General Christian Missionary Convention, traveling, preaching, and working, in the interest of our home missions.
He has been minister and preacher in Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Wilmington, and Kent, in Ohio, and in Duluth, Minn., and he has done extended work in other places. From 1863 to 1865 he was chaplain of the Northern Ohio Hospital for the Insane. From 1870 to 1878 he was State and National Sunday School Secretary for the Churches of Christ; and from 1878 to 1882, he was Corresponding Secretary of the American Christian Missionary Society.
Well known as he has been as a speaker, he is yet better known and will be abidingly known as a writer. He holds a ready pen and has a rare faculty of stating things with grace and truth. He is a clear and accurate writer. From 1867 to 1874 he was a regular correspondent and Associate Editor of the American Christian Review, edited by Benjamin Franklin. From 1866 to 1888 he was a constant contributor to the Christian Standard, and for a brief period, an associate editor.
From 1876 to 1887, he was Associate Editor of the "Teachers' Mentor" and the "Bible School," issued from the Standard office.

As one example, the author discusses N. C. Meeker, a store keeper in the early days of Hiram, who would later claim fame as a victim of the “Meeker Massacre,” at Greeley, Colorado, in 1879. I pursued additional information on Meeker, which is readily available on the Internet.
I also appreciate the authors’ providing personal sketches of numerous persons associated with the college, including James A. Garfield, who would become the twentieth President of the United States.
The book is enhanced by the inclusion of a number of photos and illustrations. There is no index, but the downloaded copy I have enables one to do searches, which is very useful.
Persons interested in the Stone-Campbell religious heritage, and especially its institutions of higher learning, should find this book to be of value. It may downloaded at no charge at archive.org.… (mehr)
