Loomis, Ludlow

Ludlow P. Loomis born in Evansville, Indiana, in the late 1800’s passed on to his reward on August 8, 1979. Our Brother Loomis received the truth through his parents who went to hear Pastor Russell speak. Bro. Loomis was never married and he never had very much of this world’s goods. He was a meek gentleman with a Victorian etiquette. Over the 64 years of his consecrated life, his kindness and thoughtfulness inspired many in their Christian walk. A few of his experiences would be helpful for us to consider.

Brother Loomis’s continuing desire was to fulfill the privileges and duties of a Christian soldier. It was a joy for him to spread the truth with whomever and in whatever experience he might find himself. To help himself in this he committed much of the scriptures to memory and sure enough the payoff came often. When he witnessed or gave discourses he frequently was able to quote scriptures and poems from memory
