After finishing school he entered bus
mess, and became an employee in one
of the. largest wholesale houses of
Louisville, Ky. Here his advance
ment was rapid, and his prospects sat-
isfactory. Evidently there lay before
him long and increasingly prosper
Gus commercial career.
But man proposes and God disposes.
During his stay in the position me-
toned he spent his spare time for s.
eral years in the study of vocal MUSIC,
and came, after long and patient prac-
tice, to become an expert chorus choir
conductor and a star soloist, having a
fine baritone voice.
The prominence given him in church
work by his musical abilities gave
him trend in that direction. and his
deep religious experience responded to
what he conceived to be divine call
to engage in evangelistic work.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1908-10-28

At first he confined himself to musi-
cal lines and personal work almost ex-
clusively, doing little public speaking.
In this branch of endeavor he was
remarkably successful, and was for
four years associated with the world
famous DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman as a
singing evangelist" AS such he
travelled over great part of the coun-
try, and was engaged with DIR. Chap
man and others in Minneapolis, Tope-
ka, Philadelphia and many other large
cities.
AT length the Divine leadership
drew him toward the broader evangel-
istic field, and he began preaching as
we'll as singing the gospel, and reports
from various sections indicate that he
is as successful in the one as in the
other.

THE COMING EVANGELIST
Something about the Remarkable Man
to Be the Center Of Attraction for
Next Two Weeks.

Rev. AlexandersB. Davidson. D. D.,
of Louisville, is. in many respects, a
remarkable man. Born in the Blue
Grass state, he sis warm hearted and
sympathetic. and yet we'll poised and
eminently practical. His early life
was spent at home, he was brought up
by God-fearing parents. and pursued
the regular courses of study open to
young men of that section. That he
we'll improved his scholastic advan-
tages is seen by his mastery Of pure
idiomatic English ana his ability to
hold great audiences as in the hollow
of his hand.
