Frederick Brotherton Meyer 1847-1929 English Baptist clergyman.
F. B. Meyer was born in London and educated at Brighton College. Between 1870
and 1895 he held several successful pastorates. Between the years 1872 and 1874
he met D. L. Moody and introduced him to the British churches. During much of
Meyer's ministry he engaged in social work and temperance work. He headed a
movement to close saloons, was the force in closing nearly 500 immoral houses,
and labored for the reclamation of released prisoners. In 1904 to 1905 he served
as president of the National Federation of Free Churches, and thereafter was
evangelist for that organization, conducting missions in South Africa and the
Far East. For many years he was closely associated with the Keswick Conferences.
He died in his 82nd year.
