H. AB. SMITH was born in Panola county, Mississippi, January 28th, 1858. He was reared and educated in Arkansas, where he taught school a number of years. At the age of twenty he joined the Baptist church, and was soon afterward ordained to preach. He attended Judson University, a Baptist institution, and preached for that people two years. He then learned the way of the Lord more perfectly, and, like the twelve at Ephesus (Acts 19:5), was baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. He has preached for the churches of Christ at Hope and Prescott, Ark., Greenville, Texas, and Mt. Pleasant, Texas, where he now resides. He married an estimable lady in Titus county, Texas, Feb. 6th, 1884. He is a ready writer, and has been editorially connected with several of our leading papers. He is now evangelizing. Bro. Smith is earnest, zealous, and enthusiastic, suggesting the Scripture: "diligent in business, fervent in Spirit, serving the Lord."
