A History of the Missouri Baptist General Association (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Missouri Baptist General Association An intimate acquaintance of over a third of a cen tury has prepared me to speak of him from personal knowledge as well as from the record his work has made. There are lines written deeper in humanity than those recorded by the pen'. And Dr. Yeaman has by a long and useful life written his name by works of righteousness and his service of love upon the hearts of the people to whom he has been closely allied and with whom he has ever been in brain and heart in thorough sympathy. But it is of the work of the author in Missouri that I wish here to write. Almost from the very hour of his settlement in St. Louis, in March, 1870, he became completely absorbed in the Baptist interests in the whole state.
