Has a marvellous memory, as he never has notes for his addresses. About four years after conversion, was led into fellowship at Gothic Hall, Stockwell. Has been privileged to preach for nearly thirty years in Assemblies in London and various parts of British Isles; at the same time attending to his daily occupation in connection with the L.C.C.
