Mcmillen, Liston

lawyer, lecturer, author, was born Dec. 10, 1847, in Richwood, Ohio. He graduated in the classical course from the Ohio Wesleyan university in 1867. He moved to Oskaloosa, Iowa, and began the practice of law there in 1869. He is the author of a work entitled Alathiasis, which treats of the principles of Christian hygiene.

As a lecturer he has appeared in his one favorite discourse entitled The Proofs of the Resurrection of Christ. His legal training enables him to handle this discussion in the light of the common law rules of evidence-a characteristic feature that draws public attention to the speaker and his theme.
