BIO:Frederick Brotherton Meyer 1847-1929 English Baptist clergyman. 

   F.B. Meyer was born in London and educated at Brighton College.
Between 1870 and 1895 he held several successful pastorates. Between
the years 1872 and 1874 he met D.L. Moody and introduced him to the
British churches.

   During much of Meyer's ministry he engaged in social work and
temperance work. He headed a movement to close saloons, was the force
in closing nearly 500 immoral houses, and labored for the reclamation
of released prisoners.

   In 1904 to 1905 he served as president of the National Federation of
Free Churches, and thereafter was evangelist for that organization,
conducting missions in South Africa and the Far East. For many years he
was closely associated with the Keswick Conferences. He died in his
82nd year.
