The man became a legend in his own generation. He was the builder of schools, a supporter of missions and a father to some 10,000 orphans. The amazing issue of his life does not lie in what he did, but in how he accomplished it. He refused to inform anybody concerning his needs, mentioning them only to God, in private, on his knees. He operated by faith. He relied solely on God to meet all his needs. He refused to accept any donations from unbelievers, and when he started his scriptural knowledge Institution to accomplish these tasks, between him and his partner they possessed no more than one shilling, or twelve pence.
