Gospel preacher. His wife Madelene was born Sept. 12, 1925.

Eugene Britnell began his regular work of writing for Searching The Scriptures last January. His effective teaching by way of the printed page, however, goes back some 14 years in a monthly paper he edits called "The Sower." His many fine lessons and exposing of error through this medium are well known all across the nation. I was happy when he agreed to write a regular column for Searching The Scriptures. Eugene Britnell was born September 28, 1924 near Russellville, Alabama. He attended schools in Alabama and lived in Franklin County until 1950. He was baptized by M. C. Love in August, 1942 and began preaching six years later in Russellville, Alabama. He married Madelene Vandiver and to this union two sons were born. Olen, who married Jane Ward of Lakeland, Florida, is now living in Huntsville, Alabama where he is working as an engineer with IBM. Keith is now 14 and attending school in Little Rock, Arkansas. Brother Britnell's first regular work was with the church in Manila, Arkansas in 1950. Since that time he has labored with churches in Newark, Tuckerman, and Little Rock, Arkansas. He has been with the Arch Street church in Little Rock for more than seven years. He has preached regularly on radio programs for the past sixteen years and is now on one of the most powerful radio stations in the U.S. He has had seven public debates and one written debate with John Simpson on the current issue in the church. He preaches in all parts of the nation in meetings each year. He has written a number of tracts, among which are: "Why Be Just A Christian?", "The First Converts Under The New Testament," "Gems of Truth," "Shocking Quotes," "Missionary And Benevolent Societies," and "The Sponsoring Church." -- Searching The Scriptures, 1969.

His father was Jessie Elmer Britnell.
