Dr. Smith is one of the prominent

his life that the students may become
better acquainted with the man who is
to speak to them.
Arthur .1. Smith was born at Bury,
Robinson, Quebec, Canada. in 1865,
but is an American, because his parents
citizens of Vermont, were oily tempor
ally in Canada, returning to Brattle
horo a few years later. Young Smith
stildied at Sherbrook, Canada. aid then
took a course at the IFastmaii lusiness
College. in Poughkeepsie, intending to
C- enter his father's wholesale furniture
C. husinless, and expecting in time to suc
cd ceed to the business. Soon after his
return to Brattleboro lie became inter
ested in Y. M. C. A. work. In 1883 lie

C Harlem branch of the New York Y. M.

'+ inl several different cities. It was in
Chicago that Mr. Smith put "Billy"
SundaY, thei newly converted ball player.
on the plat form for the first tinie. ex
pecting hii to simply make a brief tes
timony. telling of the change that had
come into his life; as it was "lilly"
tok a text; "Is the young mani safe'
and talked for an hour and a half. lie
has been preaching ever since!
While in Chicago, Secretary Smith
began to make evangelistic talks in and
about the city, with an occasional trip
farther afield. .ater lie gave himself
wholly to evangel i sim. being associated
at various times with Dwight I,. Moody
and Dr. Wilbur Chapman as a singing
evangelist, whose message ini song or
sermon reached hearts. hi 1890 M r.
Smith entered the New -runswick The
()logical Seminary for a more thorough
preparation for his life work. (om

tor of the First Presbvterian Church of
Savannah. Ga.. from 1895 to 1899 ini
clusive. lie returned to New York ini
1905 where he became a tent speaker
for the Fvangelistic Committee( of that
city. In 1908 lie was called to the gen
eral secretaryship of the Committee

The following winter Dr. Smith vis
ited England to study the evangelistic
work done by laymen. and in the spring
of 1909 lie started the auxiliary depart
ment; holding an institute to train lay
