Henry Clay Morrison

Morrison was converted at the age of 13 in a Methodist revival at the Boyd's Creek Meetinghouse near Glasgow, Kentucky.

He also began editing a religious publication called The Old Methodist, which later became the widely read Pentecostal Herald.

The camp meeting became one of his favorite evangelistic venues, and throughout the rest of his life Morrison gave much time and effective leadership to this religious movement.

William Jennings Bryan regarded Morrison to be "the greatest pulpit orator on the American continent."

In 1910 Asbury College, a holiness school founded by John Wesley Hughes in Wilmore, Kentucky hired Morrison as its president.
