Divisions Charles H. Watson (8 October 1877 – 24 December 1962)[1] was a Seventh-day Adventist minister and administrator.

Charles resisted accepting these doctrines until 1902, when he found no biblical support for Sunday observance and was baptized by W. A.

[1] Watson had been a successful wool buyer, but quit the business in 1907 to attend Australasian Missionary College in order to study for the ministry.

[3] His business sense and aptitude for remembering names and faces had gained him a reputation for administrative skill, and in 1915 he was elected president of the Australasian Union Conference.

He directed the Adventist church during a time of budget-cutting and consolidation, while accomplishing a period of denominational growth.
