John Wilson Smith of Cumledge, Scotland, regularly contributed articles and poems to Scripture Truth magazine from its commencement in 1909 until shortly before his death. Soon after conversion in his late teens, leaving an army career, he devoted himself to evangelism – that others might know and love Christ as he did. Of private means, associated with such as John Nelson Darby, he preached and taught at home and abroad, marrying his wife at Niagara on a visit to Canada.
