Mrs. DeLance Wallace

"Mrs. DeLance Wallace was converted in her home, and three days later was sanctified at an altar in a meeting in Colby, Kansas, through the preaching of the late Rev. M. L. Haney, in 1893. She was one of the organizers of the Northwest Kansas Holiness Campmeeting Association in which she was an active worker until 1898 when she moved to the state of Washington. In 1899 she was called to superintend the Pentecostal Mission which later formed the nucleus of the Church of the Nazarene in the Northwest. After the organization of the church in Spokane she served as their pastor until 1907, when she was called to Seattle, and in 1910 to the Walla Walla church, serving there continuously until her husband was called to Kansas City as General Manager of the Nazarene Publishing House; since then she has given her time entirely to evangelistic work. During all her ministry she has been successful in evangelism, and has helped in the pioneer work of the church over the entire northwest part of the United States and in Canada."
