About the author
Born in Millerton, New York, in 1851, Howard B. Grose built a long career in religious leadership, education, and writing. He studied at the University of Rochester, was ordained as a Baptist minister, and went on to serve churches in New York and Pennsylvania.
Grose also worked as an editor and denominational leader, and for a time served as president of the University of South Dakota. He became known as a clear, practical religious writer whose interests included missions, Christian service, and public life.
Today he is perhaps best remembered by many readers and singers as the author of the hymn Give of Your Best to the Master. He died in 1939 after a career that connected ministry, publishing, and education.
