    Preface<\/h3>\n

    This book aims at delineating the main features of a man’s life singularly unlike most of his fellows – a life full of incident of an uncommon kind.<\/p>\n

    His paramount unselfishness carved out for him a rugged, picturesque course, some of the lines of which it would seem worth while to retrace.<\/p>\n

    Fortunately, material is at hand to aid. Two of his closest friends kept a large number of letters, most kindly made serviceable. Wherever possible, the actual words of the chief actors tell the story.<\/p>\n

    The correspondence consequent on the unwanted and unwelcome, but frequent, separation of husband and wife at the call of duty, has also been helpful in keeping a comparatively unbroken narrative ; while a small outer circle, closely in touch, -has rendered effective service to the grateful biographer.<\/p>\n

    To Sir John Gray-Hill, to Mr. John Murray, to the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, to the Secretary of the Palestine Exploration Fund, and to the Methodist Publishing Houses in London and Toronto, we gratefully acknowledge courteous and generous permission to use illustrations which add so much to the interest and value of these pages.
