DR. E. HEZ SWEM
Noted Baptist Evangelist
Served Here About
Half Century.
Rev. Dr. E. He* Swem, widely
known retired Baptist pastor and evan
gelist, who served as pastor of Wash
ington churches for approximately half
a century, died early today after a long
illness at his home, 905 Massachusetts
avenue northeast. He was 79 years
old.
Dr. Swem retired as pastor of the
Centennial Baptist Church, Seventh
and I streets northeast, July 15, 1934,
because of ill health. He had been
pastor of that church for more than
22 years.
Original in Preaching Methods.
During his long career as clergy
man, he had become nationally known
for his devotion to the ministry and
his originality in methods of preach
ing and choosing of texts.
Some 20 years ago, he went on a
tour and conducted evangelistic serv
ices over a large part of the country.
At one time he was known as the Capi
tal lecturer.
He long had been a strong advocate
of making the church an attractive
place to attend and was one of the
first to advocate comfortable seats in
churches.
iiuiuicu nee me rans.
Carrying out this thought, he had
installed in the Centennial Baptist
Church chairs with arm rests. In hot
weather he invited the men to take
off their coats and had electric fans
installed to further insure the comfort
of his congregations.
During his ministry he consolidated
the Capital and Centennial Baptist
Churches, retaining the name of the
latter church. He was a leader in the
drive for the new church building
which was completed in 1915.
While serving here, he was five times
moderator of the Columbia Association
of Baptist Churches.
A native of Greensburg, Ind., Dr.
Swem was the son of the late Dr. and
Mrs. Edmund Bowers Swem.
Dr. Swem, an only son, had three
sisters, all deceased. He was educated
at De Pauw University and Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary.
First Pastorate in Indiana.
His first pastorate was in Lawrence
burg, Ind.. where he was ordained in
March, 1881. He came here about
1884 to become pastor of the Second
Baptist Church, a post he held for
over 25 years.
Dr. Swem had written many Gospel
songs and tunes and 39 of his produc
tions were published recently in a
special edition by well known pub
lishers.
He was a member of Sigma Chi
Fraternity, was a thirty-second degree
Mason and belonged to the Knights
Templar. Recently, the B. B. French
Lodge, F. A. A. M., to which he be
longed, presented him with a gold
button, emblematic of his 50 years of
membership.
He is survived by his widow, the
former Miss Minnie L. Johnson; two
sons, John B. Swrem of this city and
Lee Allan Swem. New York, and a
j daughter, Mrs. Thomas E. Griffith.
The Dalles, Oreg. He also leaves five
I grandchildren.
