Henry Moorhouse: The English Evangelist (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Henry Moorhouse: The English EvangelistOnly in the last years of his life did I know Henry Moorhouse. It is from this stand-point, necessarily, that I have written the following pages. The materials, apart from my own recollections and impressions, were not very abundant; his letters, especially, were few. Throughout his public career he cherished a strong repugnance to writing accounts of his work, fearing lest the rehearsal should lead to self-inflation and the dishonour of God. If in this he erred, he erred on the safe side. He had seen egotism on his high pinnacle, he had heard him blowing his foolish trumpet, he had witnessed his swift descent into unfathomable mire, and was greatly afraid. This fear kept him in the place of safety and usefulness; and it imparted to his life and work a tone and quality of high excellence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
