REV. ELMER WARD COLI
During Mr.. Coles short pastorate
| he has lifted the church from ITS
place OF seclusion to foremost
place in the city and surrounding
country. Some thirty have been
added TO the list OF membership
and the audiences tax the church
to its utmost capacity, and It is not
an unusual sight TO see at an even
ing service crowds turned away Tor
want OF even standing room
BY his ora,ory and ability as an
entertainer he has won for himself
large circle of friends throughout
the entire Arkansas Valley, who
admire him as a young man who
has the courage to say what he
thinks, applause or no applause
Mr.. Cole was born on a farm
near Columbia, Iowa, October -
1873. In 1856 he moved with his
parents to Omaha, Neb., where he
served an apprenticeship in the
book bindery OF the Omaha Repub-
iican, then the leading printing
| house OF the west, but never worked
at his trade. For the two years
next succeeding he was employed
in the freight auditors Office Of the
Union Pacific railway.
The support OF his mother and
two brothers kept him from carry
ing ont his gcat desire for an cdu-
cation, until in 1891 his mothers
marriage opened the way for the
accomplishment of his chief ambi-
ton. With SAT, and a will to
work, he left for Simpson College.
at Indlanola, Iowa, where he re-
NAMED two years, working in the
kitchen OF the boarding hall as
assistant cook for board and room.
1, was here he began his career as
public speaker, his first oratorl-
cal efforts being made IN stumping
the surrounding counties for Bid
we'll in the presidential campaign
OF '92. He preached his FIRST ser
mon in January. 1893,
The next year he was called to
the church at Tabor, Iowa, which
is also the seat OF Tabor College.
Here and at the neighboring city
OF Malvern he acted as pastor and
student for three years. After fin-
ishing school he was called to the
pastorate OF the Central church at
Council Bluffs, where his success
was phenomenal; but at the close
of his first year was forced to re-
sign on account OF failing health.
After two months in the lecture
field he settled in La Junta.
AS lecturer Mr.. Cole, although
young in years, stands in the from,
rank among the great platform
men. His manner is forceful and
convincing, with the earnestness
that homes from deep conviction
in the conclusions that he has
reached from observation and deep
study. His diction is faultless and
he has the happy faculty of ap,
illustration which gives an added
charm to his addresses. He has a
bright future before him.
