Howard Benjamin Grose (September 5, 1851 – May 19, 1939) was an American Baptist minister, journalist, writer of hymns, educator, university president, newspaper editor, and author.[1]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Grose was born September 5, 1981 in Millerton, New York to Reverend Henry Laurence Grose.[1]
He graduated from University of Rochester[2] in 1876.[3] In 1883, he became an ordained Baptist minister.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]Grose began his career as a correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, then became a staff member with the New York Examiner.[1]
From 1883 to 1890, Grose served in Poughkeepsie and Pittsburgh as a Baptist minister.[1]
In 1890, he became the president of the University of South Dakota, a contentious position he held for two years.[4] Grose then began teaching history at Chicago University. During this time, he was also the associate editor of the Watchman, published in Boston.[1]
From 1900 to 1903, Grose was the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain, after which he became the editorial secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society.[1]
In 1910, Grose became the editor of Missions. He remained in the position until his retirement in 1933, at which point he was named editor-emeritus.[1]
Grose wrote on various subjects including China and Chinese people, Cuba, Puerto Rico, immigration, Baptist missions and biographical memoirs of George Edwin Horr and John Roach.[5] He also copyrighted hymns.[6]
After the publication of The Incoming Millions in 1906, a reviewer with Religious Telescope called Grose "the most important writer of this century".[7]
