HENRY ALBERT RUDIN, Welfare Worker. Arriving in Honolulu in March, 1919, as 
building secretary of the Army Y.M.C.A. at Schofield Barracks, Henry A. Rudin 
has continued in Hawaii a career of welfare and religious work that began in 
Canada.
 Mr. Rudin was born at the Port of Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies, July 
27, 1887, the son of Andrew Oliver and Eliza Rudin. He was educated in the 
grammar schools of Trinidad, high school in Pittsburg, Penn., and at Dalhousie 
University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, which awarded him an A. B. degree, and 
Presbyterian College, Halifax, where he won a B. D. degree. Following his 
graduation from college he served as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Five 
Islands, Nova Scotia, and later had a pastorate at Burbank, Calif. While in 
church work in Nova Scotia he was instrumental in the building of two churches 
and during his pastorate in Burbank he erected the First Presbyterian Church 
there. From 1914 to 1919 he campaigned for the prohibition cause throughout 
Southern California, besides contributing many articles to religious and 
secular journals in Canada and the United States. He gave a series of lectures 
on “Science and Religion” at the Y.M.C.A. of the University of Southern 
California in Los Angeles. Since coming to Hawaii, he has preached in some of 
the leading churches on Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai.
 In 1920 he became a naturalized citizen of the United States and is now 
actively engaged in Americanization work among 3,000 children at Waialua and 
in developing morale among the 2,000 employes of the Waialua Agricultural Co., 
Ltd., where he is employed as a welfare worker. Mr. Rudin married Gertrude 
Claire Woodill of Halifax on October 20, 1915. They have one son, Donald 
Oliver Rudin. Mr. Rudin is a member of the Honolulu Ad Club.
