Dr. Robert E. Speer, one of the Secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, wrote this heartfelt tribute:
“He was an irrefutable evidence of the truth of Christianity. No other religion and no other power could have produced such a type. Free from all religiosity with nothing in his dress or manner or vocabulary to indicate the preacher or religious teacher, he was yet one of the most indefatigable of personal Christian workers and one of the most devoted and wide eyed comforters and prophets of our day. He did the work of three ordinary men with no haste and apparently with unlimited time to give to individuals. He was the best know and most widely read writer of devotional books in the world, but all of human life was of interest to him and he lived in practical affairs. For truth, genuiness, simplicity, accomplishing power, kind but discerning knowledge of men, considerateness, thoughtfulness in detail, range, definiteness and love it would be hard to find his equal. Measured against his world wide and penetrating ministry the great and noisy political careers of the day seem paltry. He was a man of the abiding world who therefore was able to mould the world that does not abide. Thousands of lives look back to him with love and with personal evidence of his wonderful sympathy and friendship and wisdom.”
