A Famous Christian Died Today in 1917

| 4 Comments

This famous Christian author actually only wrote one book—a book that most of his readers never heard of. Guess who this giant of the faith was? Here are the clues:

  • He surrendered his life to Christ on the streets of London.
  • He served as a tutor for eight years at Dunoon Gospel Training College where he developed a great zeal for evangelism.
  • During World War I he supervised soldiers  in a place with a sign that said “YMCA Study Hut Open 9 A. M. to 9P. M. for Reading, Writing & Study. A Blackboard Lecture Each Evening at 7:30P. M.”
  • Four hundred soldiers packed into this hut within a week. He wrote in his diary, “There are so many ‘saved’ souls waiting instruction, and they take it with zest. There is no difficulty at all in getting men to ‘decide’ for Christ, they do it readily.”
  • At a YMCA evangelistic crusade in 1916, this evangelist wrote, “We had some magnificent decisions, and I would not allow any singing or bowing of heads but just told them to come out before all their comrades if they meant business, and out they came.”
