Latham is best known as the co-found­er of Awana® Clubs In­ter­na­tion­al. But in Christ­ian music cir­cles, “Doc” was re­nowned for his mu­sic min­is­try. He dis­played a pro­pen­si­ty for mu­sic at an ear­ly age, start­ing les­sons at age three. He was soon play­ing songs by heart, as his mo­ther called out page num­bers from a hymn book. Af­ter he grad­u­at­ed from col­lege at age 17, mu­sic took cen­ter stage in his life. He re­ceived pi­a­no train­ing from Maur­itz Leef­son, di­rect­or of the Phil­a­del­phia Con­ser­va­to­ry of Mu­sic, and earned cri­tic­al and pop­u­lar praise per­form­ing through­out the Phil­a­del­phia area. His ris­ing mus­ic­al ca­reer played a part in his sal­va­tion de­ci­sion. At age 21, he was in­vit­ed to play for Wil­liam Ni­chol­son’s evan­gel­is­tic cru­sade in Ches­ter, Penn­syl­van­ia. On Sept. 18, 1915, af­ter hear­ing one of Ni­chol­son’s Gos­pel pre­sent­a­tions, the young pro­di­gy re­ceived Christ as his Sav­ior.
