A Guide to the Papers of W. O. H. Garman
by Charles M. Barrett
Biography
Early Life
W. O. H. Garman was born in Philadelphia on August 15, 1899. His parents were not Christians at the time of his birth, although they took him to church as a child. Garman’s mother became a Christian when he was eighteen years old and his father made a profession of faith later in life. Although Garman did not receive good Christian training as a child, he knew that he needed something. He did not realize his need of Christ until he was a student at Philadelphia School of the Bible, where he was studying for the ministry. Garman had thought about preaching while a student in high school, even though he was not converted.
Garman finally received strong biblical teaching of the Fundamentalist persuasion at Philadelphia School of the Bible. He came to accept the inspiration of the Bible and the other great doctrines that were under attack during the height of the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy. His education at the Bible school laid a strong foundation for Garman as he entered the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
It was at PTS that Garman first saw up close the unbelief of modernism. He stood firm in defending the truths of the Bible throughout his time at the seminary, maintaining a good testimony in the presence of his liberal professors. Garman graduated from the seminary in 1925 and subsequently accepted his first call to the pastorate.
Pastorates
Garman accepted a call to a church that offered him little prestige. His first ministry was to three rural congregations in Plumville, Plumcreek, and Atwood, Pennsylvania. He served these congregations for four years and never regretted his time there. Garman taught the farming people of his congregations Christian doctrine and church history. Systematically, he took them through Scofield’s Lesson Leaflets. The young preacher enjoyed these first years, because the people were so hungry for the truth. After four years, Garman received a call to become pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church of Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Altoona presented new challenges for Garman. Instead of three rural congregations, he now had a church in a mid-sized city that was more influential in the United Presbyterian denomination. The United Presbyterians were more tolerant of modernistic views at the time, and did not look kindly on Garman’s Fundamentalism or his dispensationalism. Not everything in the Altoona congregation was negative though, for Garman met his wife Josephine, and the two were married a few years after he became minister.
Garman preached the fundamental doctrines of the faith from his pulpit and frequently used the reference set titled The Fundamentals in giving arguments against the liberals within the denomination. He began an evening Bible school at the church, and there he advanced his dispensational teachings concerning the Second Coming of Christ. The Bible school and his Fundamentalist stance became a point of contention with the denomination as Garman was becoming more popular. Finally, after ten years of service in Altoona, Garman resigned from the church and withdrew his membership in the United Presbyterian Church.
The Fundamentalist pastor accepted the call to minister at Callender Memorial Church in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, where he served for the next thirty-four years (1939-73). It was here that Garman received national and international prominence as a leader within the Fundamentalist movement.
In addition to serving as a pastor in Wilkinsburg, Garman was also president of the Independent Fundamental Churches of America from 1942 to 1944, and held other offices within the group until 1953. He was also heavily involved in the American Council of Christian Churches and the International Council of Christian Churches, organizations led by Carl McIntire. Garman served as president of the American Association of Christian Schools of Higher Learning in the late sixties and early seventies. In 1953 he received an honorary doctorate from Burton College and Seminary, and another one from Bob Jones University in 1970.
After retiring from the Wilkinsburg church in order to give most of his time to helping chaplains, he accepted a part-time pastorate to Grace Fundamental Chapel in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. He ministered at Grace from 1973 to 1981, preaching Sunday mornings only. This ministry ended when Garman suffered his first stroke in 1981. From that time his health declined, and W. O. H. Garman passed away on July 2, 1983.
Associated Gospel Churches
The ministry with which W. O. H. Garman is most closely associated is the Associated Gospel Churches (AGC). The AGC was formed in 1939 by a group of ministers in Michigan who separated from the Protestant Methodist Church. They remained a Michigan organization until 1942, when the organization handed control over to Garman for the purpose of restructuring it to become a recognized organization representing Fundamentalist chaplains for the United States Armed Forces. Garman served as president of the AGC from 1942 until his retirement in 1981.
The main purpose of the AGC was to sponsor chaplains, not to become a denomination for Fundamentalists. The year 1960 was a milestone year in the history of the Associated Gospel Churches, because in that year the Department of Defense recognized the AGC as an approved organization to sponsor chaplains for the Armed Forces. This event is of vital importance because every chaplain must have ecclesiastical endorsement to be received into the military for active duty. The AGC was the first organization to guarantee a place for Fundamentalists in the military chaplaincy.
Garman’s involvement with the AGC became his primary ministry and brought him into contact with numerous public figures and agencies in his efforts to secure equitable treatment for Fundamentalist chaplains. He had to overcome the built-in advantage given to the Federal (later National) Council of Churches and to persuade sometimes reluctant politicians and military leaders to back his efforts.
Description of the Collection
The Garman papers consist of materials dealing with many subjects that W. O. H. Garman collected throughout his ministry. The collection is divided into five categories: Religious Topics, Nonreligious Topics, Biographical Topics, Personal Papers, and Sermons.
The Religious Topics make up almost half of the collection. The contents of this section are mostly newspaper/periodical clippings and personal correspondence. The topics are broad, ranging from denominations to religious movements, from moral issues to Communism, and from religious liberty to Santa Claus. Two topics of importance are the files on the American Council of Christian Churches and the Associated Gospel Churches. Garman was closely associated with both groups, making his collection on these subjects an invaluable primary source on their history. Most of the contents of the files on the ACCC and the AGC are personal correspondence. Especially valuable are the letters from Garman to Carl McIntire concerning the controversy that took place between the two groups, resulting in the subsequent expulsion of the AGC from the ACCC.
The Nonreligious Topics are the smallest division of the collection. The contents of this section are predominantly newspaper clippings and booklets (e.g., a police manual). The topics in this section deal mainly with federal departments, such as the Air Force, Black Guard, and Civil Air Patrol. There are other diverse topics of a political nature, such as capitalism, the election between Johnson and Goldwater, narcotics, the United Nations, and the Navajos.
The third division of the collection is the Biographical. The topics in this section are predominantly religious leaders ranging from Billy Graham to Jay Adams and from Harold Ockenga to Harry Ironside. The materials on Graham are particularly extensive. Much of this section consists of printed secondary materials, usually periodical articles. However, there is also some valuable correspondence between Garman and many prominent Fundamentalist leaders of the twentieth century.
Fourth are the Personal Papers of Garman. Garman’s publications on topics such as the Bible, politics, and the Federal and National Council of Churches are a particularly valuable aspect of this section, along with numerous other original works by Garman. This section also provides the researcher with information about the tours that Garman took around the world, often in association with his chaplaincy work for the AGC.
Garman’s Sermons complete the collection. His sermon notes are handwritten and provide insight into Garman’s character as well as his manner of study. The content of the sermons consist of the doctrines that make up the fundamentals of the faith, as well as sermons on individual books of the Bible. One of the largest series in the file deals with the topic of the life and ministry of Christ.
The Garman Papers are an important resource in pursuing original research on Garman himself, on Fundamentalist involvement in the military chaplaincy, and especially on the AGC and (to a lesser extent) the ACCC. The papers are divided into folders according to subject and arranged alphabetically.
