Excerpt from The Invisible Glory
I feel it a great honour to be asked to write a preface to these sermons by one so greatly loved by so many and to be asked, not because of my official position but, because - to quote his children's letter I was his very particular friend.
How little I ever dreamt of being given such a title, when as a young man of twenty, just leaving Oxford, I first read, and then fed upon, the books containing his addresses, which were then being given, or rather had just been given, in S. Peter's, Eaton Square!
The Christian life there portrayed was a revelation to me: the close intimacy with a personal lord; the combination of a free Gospel of forgiveness with a belief in a Divine Society; the firm dealing with one's own soul and the souls of others, advocated in the little booklet Break up your Fallow Ground; all these things, I see now, were shown me by god through the teaching of George Wilkinson, and, as to me, so also to thousands of others.
The first time, however, that I saw the man who was to have so great an influence over my life was ten years later, when, invalided from his work in Truro, he was staying, unknown to me, in London.
