Lance B. Latham

1894 - 1985 Composer of "[The harvest fields are bending]" in Timeless Truths Lance Brenton Latham, 1894-1985 Born: March 21, 1894, Dentonville, Pennsylvania. Died: January 15, 1985, Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Buried: Ridgewood Cemetery, Glenview, Illinois. Latham is best known as the co-founder of Awana® Clubs International. But in Christian music circles, "Doc" was renowned for his music ministry. He displayed a propensity for music at an early age, starting lessons at age three. He was soon playing songs by heart, as his mother called out page numbers from a hymn book. After he graduated from college at age 17, music took center stage in his life. He received piano training from Mauritz Leefson, director of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, and earned critical and popular praise performing throughout the Philadelphia area. His rising musical career played a part in his salvation decision. At age 21, he was invited to play for William Nicholson’s evangelistic crusade in Chester, Pennsylvania. On Sept. 18, 1915, after hearing one of Nicholson’s Gospel presentations, the young prodigy received Christ as his Savior. Following conversion, Latham began putting his musical gifts to use composing hymns. He soon was "discovered" by Paul Rader, America’s first nationwide radio preacher. Rader hired Latham to join the musical staff at Moody Tabernacle and to travel with him on evangelistic crusades. When Rader became pastor at the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle in 1922, he invited Latham to serve as an associate. Latham later organized a musical group called the White Shirt Brigade. This all boy choir performed and taught at churches throughout the Midwest and South. He also was affectionately dubbed with the nickname "Doc" for an outfit he once wore to a youth club masquerade party. One member of the Brigade was Art Rorheim, who later became Awana® co-founder with Latham. In 1934, Latham became pastor of a new church, the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. He served there for 40 years. During his days as pastor, Latham drew huge crowds to his "dueling pianos" concerts at the Gospel Center. --www.hymntime.com/tch/

Paul Rader

1879 - 1938 Author of "Harvest Time (Rader)" in Timeless Truths Rader was one of the most powerful evangelistic preachers of the early 20th Century. He described himself as an ex-bellboy, ex-cowboy, ex-prospector, ex-football player, and ex-pugilist. He was pastor of Moody Church in Chicago, Illinois (1915–21), and followed founder Albert Simpson as president of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (1920–23). He also founded the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle in 1922 and pastored it for 11 years. Rader wrote many Gospel song lyrics and a few tunes, and was instrumental in founding of the Tabernacle Publishing Company. Rader was a pioneer of Christian broadcasting, as well: In the early 1920’s, the beginning days of radio, station WBBM in Chicago, Illinois, closed every Sunday. Rader received permission to use the studios, and for several years ran a 14-hour Christian program every Sunday. Rader called his station within a station WJBT (Where Jesus Blesses Thousands). --© Cyber Hymnal™ (www.hymntime.com/tch)
