He served fourteen years as trustee, member of the faculty committee and special lecturer at Drake University. In that period a physical breakdown compelled him to give up pastoral work. He was superintendent of the Iowa Anti-Saloon League three years, secured the enactment of the Time Limit Bill, and was a member of its National Headquarters Committee. The Centennial Convention made him secretary of the American Christian Missionary Society. This record of facts is sufficient to show that the subject of this sketch has been a very busy man.
Results are the things that measure correctly what a man really is.
By this rule there can be no doubt about the high standing of Dr. McCash. Though still comparatively a young man, he has already accomplished more than is done by many men much older. One reason of this success is his singleness of purpose, and the energy he throws into his work. This trait was finely illustrated while he was Corresponding Secretary of the American Christian Missionary Society. During the whole time of this service he attended strictly to the business to which he had been called, refusing to turn to either the right or left, and by a prudent and energetic course, he did much to make the work of the society a success.
