Lydia Elizabeth Hall (or Lyda Hall; 1864 – 15 May 1916) was a Canadian Methodist evangelist. ==Early years== Lydia Elizabeth Hall was born in Eramosa Township, Upper Canada in 1864. She was the second of the three daughters of Joseph Hall and Ann Duggan, a Methodist family. Her father died sometime before 1871, and her mother married George Wrigglesworth, a widowed farmer in Halton County. The family moved to Georgetown after Wrigglesworth retired from farming, where Lydia and her older sister Margaret made ladies hats. Around 1883 the family moved to Guelph. In April 1885 Hall attended evangelistic services conducted by David Savage in the Norfolk Street Methodist Church in Guelph, where Savage was accompanied by a "praying band" of twelve young men whom he had trained and supervised. Within a year Hall had joined one of Savage's bands. In the fall of 1886 she and a male evangelist accompanied Savage on the trip to Quebec's Eastern Townships. In 1887 Savage paired up Hall and Sadie Williams of Tottenham as a team to assist congregations that asked for help. Hall and Williams, both from farming backgrounds, worked together in Marsville, Ontario in the fall of 1887. At the time Hall was aged about twenty-two and Williams about twenty-six. Shortly after this Williams began to work alone, both preaching and leading the song service, and Hall was joined by her younger sister Annie Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lydia Elizabeth Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
