d. 1958
A thoughtful Episcopal writer and chaplain, he is best remembered for Nine O'Clock Talks, a collection of reflective sermons first published in 1946. His work speaks in a calm, direct voice about faith, daily life, and spiritual growth.

by Frederic B. Kellogg
Frederic B. Kellogg was an Episcopal clergyman whose best-known book is Nine O'Clock Talks. Project Gutenberg's record for the book describes it as a collection of sermons and notes that he served as chaplain to Episcopal students at Christ Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The surviving public records I could confirm are limited, but a memorial record identifies him as Frederic Brainerd Kellogg and gives his dates as November 28, 1909 – July 19, 1958. That lines up with the user's note that he died in 1958.
His writing is centered on practical Christian reflection rather than formal theology. Nine O'Clock Talks has remained the main work associated with his name in modern library and public-domain catalogs, where it continues to attract readers interested in devotional and Episcopal writing.
