DR.. Chapman's career began In 1882
when he was graduated from the Lane
Theological Seminary and almost Inn
mediately thereafter was ordained In
the Presbyterian ministry.
He was associated with Billy Sunday
upon numerous occasions and knew
him probably better than any one ex-
cept Billy's wife, he often said. An
interview with DR.. Chapman regard
ing his friendship and stewardship
for the famed evangelist given at
Billy's last meeting here is recalled.

This outline presents the chief aspects
OF the romance that CENTRALIZED the
