B.C. Goodpasture

B.C. Goodpasture was born April 9, 1895 in Livingston, Tennessee. He graduated from David Lipscomb College and studied the Bible and related matters assiduously the rest of his life. Any small biography sketch as this, cannot do justice to this versatile and talented man. He had the richest collection of illustrative and anecdotal material of any man living. Many honors came to him in life and he served the Cause of the Master with undimished devotion and dedication. He served as pulpit minister for the Hillsboro congregation from 1939 to 1951, and an elder there for the rest of his life. Brother Goodpasture was named editor of the GOSPEL ADVOCATE in 1938, and served until he was called from this earth to be with his Father on February 16, 1977.
