<p class="just">Ackley showed musical talent early, learning the melodeon, piano, coronet, clarinet and piccolo as a boy. After moving to New York City in 1888, he began playing the organ in several churches. In 1907, he&nbsp; joined the Billy Sunday-<a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_r_o_rodeheaver_ha.html" >Homer Rodeheaver</a> evangelism team as secretary-pianist, and traveled with them for eight years. As a composer and editor with the Rodeheaver
