A. B. Simpson

1843 - 1919 Person Name: Albert B. Simpson Author of "When the Shadows Flee Away" Albert B. Simpson was the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. Dianne Shapiro

W. Macomber

1865 - 1896 Composer of "[We are waiting for the dawn]" in Hymns of the Christian Life Born: September 15, 1865, Bucksport, Maine. Died: October 19, 1896, Lisbon, Portugal. Often misidentified as "William," Macomber came to Christ at age 16, then worked distributing materials for the American Bible Society. In 1890, he enrolled at the New York Missionary Training Institute (later renamed Nyack College), and in 1892 went to the Congo for the International Missionary Alliance. He returned to America a year later for health reasons, and in 1894 began teaching the Congolese language at his alma mater. He compiled an English-Fioti grammar and dictionary for use by missionaries, and in 1896 returned to missionary work in the Congo. Once again, ill health forced his departure, but he never made it to America, and succumbed in Portugal. © The Cyber Hymnal™ (www.hymntime.com/tch)
