After attending a revival meeting by Ruben Archer Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (“on a bicycle,” he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program “The Music of the Cross,” and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime. In 1929 he wrote the book Ruben Archer Torrey.
