Arthur Walwyn Evans 
Lecturer



H
E is a Welshman, thirty years old, and pastor of the largest Congregational Church in southern Ohio.  Educated in a Scotch university, he was sent as special evangelist by the Church of Scotland to the Shetland Islands, and for several years preached in all parts of Great Britain.  At Ballater he addressed King Edward VII's Guard of Honor, including Lord Knollys and many notable men.  During the world-famous Welsh revival he spoke nightly to audiences of five thousand in the Music Hall, Aberdeen.  He is now a contributor to the new International Bible Encyclopædia, of which Dr. James Orr, of Glasgow University, is editor.  That he is a man of rare platform gifts may be judged by the fact that he succeeded Dr. Edward A. Steiner, the lyceum star, friend of Tolstoi, and author of 
The Trail of the Immigrant,
 and other works of national popularity.  He has held the same charge for five years, preaching to ever-increasing audiences.




For three successive seasons Mr. Evans has lectured at the largest Chautauqua assembly in Ohio, in such big company as Bryan, Hillis, Conwell, Gunsaulus, and others as well known.  After his last appearance there the Dayton 
Journal
 said:  
This young man from North Wales has left a deep impression on the hearts and minds of the vast throng that heard him.  Tall and angular, striking in appearance, with a rich Celtic voice, it is a treat to listen to him.  He is alive to every shade of humor and pathos.
