Born 30 September 1896, Foy Esco Wallace, Jr. began preaching at age fifteen. \u00a0Taken at that time, this photograph captures the appearance of the ‘boy preacher’…even the knee-breeches. \u00a0This postcard sized image (also known as a real-photo postcard) was donated to Center for Restoration Studies by ACU faculty member Tom Milholland. Look closely on the reverse to see where ‘little’ was erased. No doubt ‘little’ helped distinguish him from his father, also an evangelist.\u00a0 He commenced preaching in 1911 and soon ‘Little Foy’ gained a name for himself as powerful speaker. In time Wallace became one of the most well-known editors, evangelists, debaters and writers among Churches of Christ in the 20th century.<\/p>\n
