The mails brought him many such letters as this:
“Will you let me write you a word of gratitude and appreciation? I wish that I might tell you how much you are to others, but the lines you quoted in your sermon of November 27 best express my thought.
“Through the reading of Darwin’s writings, and other things in my life, I was left with faith in nothing except a vague, uncertain belief in God and immortality which was half obscured by doubt. But through the force and beauty of your life and words my thoughts have broadened and faith in God and the Christ Child, and the possibility of true and beautiful lives has come back to me. Though the questionings remain unanswered I am content to forget them in the desire for an unselfish and sincere life.”
Another listener who was helped wrote:
“Where do you get all your good sermons? Straight from God! You make them such a part of one’s life I know it must be possible to live them even if I do fail. Even trying makes one better and happier.
“This little note only wants to thank you for your preaching and for your influence which has done and is doing a good work in me.”
