While Alexander Marshall was preaching in a country district, near Orillia, using a tent, the prejudice among the people was terrible. Within two thousand yards from the Gospel tent lived an Irishman, who was a very devout Episcopalian. It was beneath his dignity to go to the tent, but one Sunday afternoon as he was […]
For over twenty years, George Watmough did what the Holy Spirit told Philip to do: “Go near, and join thyself to this chariot” (Acts 8:29).
