GEORGE VARDEN, D. D. PH. D. L. L. D, was born in Norfolk county, 
England, December 9, 1830.  He was raised up in the church of England, 
but while attending an academy, he experienced a change of heart, and 
was baptized by John Williams, into the fellowship of a Baptist church.  
He had received a good primary education, and was licensed to preach at 
the age of eighteen years.  Soon after this, he came to the United 
States.  After traveling two years, he entered Georgetown college, where 
he graduated in 1858.  He immediately took charge of the church at 
Paris, in Bourbon county, where he still resides.  He has been pastor at 
different periods of the church at Colemansville, Mayslick, Falmouth, 
Florence and Indian Creek.  Dr. Varden has devoted himself 
enthusiastically to study, and is one of the leading scholars of the 
country.  He has written extensively for the leading periodicals of the 
country, and is well known in Europe, as well as in the land of his 
adoption, as a scholarly author.
