Biography of Henry Moorhouse
Angebote / Angebote:
This biography, by Rev. John MacPherson, was prepared soon after
Moorhouse (at the early age of forty) passed to his rest. The material at
command was suffi cient if not ample, although Moorhouse always had
the strongest objection to anything in the shape of press puffs, the "limelight"
of this world possessing no attraction to him. During the years that
have lapsed since this biography was issued, a few new facts have come
to light, and some which actually did receive Mr. MacPherson's recognition
have been rendered of deeper interest through the publication of biographies
of men of God who knew Moorhouse-notably that of Dwight
Lyman Moody. It may be permitted, therefore, by way of preface to the
"Popular" edition, to add a few further words regarding Moorhouse and
his career as an evangelist and Bible expositor and teacher.

"It is impossible to read the life of Moorhouse without being convinced
that the Divine plan for him, at any rate, was to go forth to the masses as
an evangelist. Moreover, it may well be that his career has a lesson for
the University and the Training College, in that it teaches that great things
God may accomplish, according to His blessed will, through a man whose
gifts are kindled into brilliancy by the light which shines from the Book of
books, and to whom is given the wisdom of which the prophet spake when
he declared: 'He that winneth souls is wise.'"
