OTTMAN, FORD CYRINDE. J. Wilbur Chapman. *$2.50 Doubleday
20–12138
The biography of a distinguished and widely-known preacher written by a personal friend. “To write his life none among his friends was so well qualified as Dr Ottman,” says John F. Carson in his introduction. “In all his ministry Dr Ottman was his confidant, his companion in the home and on his world journeys, his friend and counsellor, a sharer of his joys and sorrows. Such intimacy supplies a biographer with materials for a sympathetic and revealing interpretation.” There are chapters on: Lineage; Environment; College and seminary; The Whitewater and the Hudson; Philadelphia and New York; A retrospect; Summer conferences; Evangelism; On the way to Australia; At home and abroad, etc., with a closing chapter on Personality. There is a frontispiece portrait.

“With sympathetic approach and with due appreciation of Dr Chapman himself, one lays down the book with a feeling that Dr Ottman has fallen short of the possibilities in the case.”
