John Wilbur Chapman, son of Alexander H. and Lorinda
McWhinney Chapman, was born in Richmond, Ind., on June 17, 1859. He was
graduated from Lake Forest College in 1879 and from Lane Theological Seminary in 1882,
being ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in the latter year.
From 1884 to 1893 he was pastor of
churches in Albany and Philadelphia and from 1893
to 1896 engaged in evangelistic work, traveling to Asia, Australia, and Great Britain and achieving an international reputation in his
field. After 1903 he acted as executive secretary of the
General Assembly's Committee on Evangelistic Work for the Presbyterian
Church.
In addition to his professional duties, he wrote a great many books, nearly all of
which concerned his life interest, evangelism. Overwork caused him to suffer several
breakdowns in health. He died on Dec. 25, 1918.
His first wife, Irene Stedden Chapman, died in 1886; his second, Agnes Strain Chapman,
died in 1907; and on Aug. 30,
1910, he married Mable Cornelia Moulton.
Besides his books, the Rev. Mr. Chapman compiled several
hymnals.
