Excerpt from Biography of Dr. W. A Belding, Including Sixty Years of Ministerial Pioneer Work

This little work is written in response to the request of numerous friends of my grandfather's. They have said that there are many persons who, charmed with what they have seen of the simple purity and unselfishness of his life, would fain know more of its details and incidents. No startling or thrilling adventures have occurred therein, but the story is of a man of remarkable abilities in financiering for philanthropic and Christian work - remarkable also for his success in evangelizing.

During the sixty-odd years devoted to ministerial work, he has immersed, with his own hands, between eleven and twelve thousand persons. Besides this, the raising of funds for colleges and schools, and the erection of and paying for numerous churches scattered all over this land, has engaged his time. From Maine to California, and southward to Florida and Mississippi, there is hardly a State that has not been the scene of his labors at some time during his busy life. It is asserted that no man among the Disciples of Christ is personally known to as many brethren as the subject of this sketch.
