A competent and delightful narrative of a greatly loved Congregational leader. Descendant of vigorous pioneers, son of a soldier of the Civil War, born in a humble home in Wheelock, Vermont - by his own efforts securing an education in St. Johnsbury Academy, Dartmouth College, Hartford Theological Seminary and Leipzig. Pastor at Springfield, vermont; Newtonville, Massachusetts; and New Britain, Connecticut. Author of significant and scholarly volumes. President of Chicago Theological Seminary from 1909 to 1930. A career of pulpit power, literary and administrative achievement. As president, he increased the prestige, enlarged the curriculum, secured great teachers, gained a new site for the Seminary and housed it in dignified and imposing buildings. Moderator of the National Council of Congregational Churches, he made friends for Christ and the Church in his travels throughout the United States and in the Hawaiian Islands by his brotherly nature. Written by his wife, this volume is straightforward, intimate and satisfying. All who knew and loved Ozora Davis will be happy to have his book.
