MAUNDY THURSDAY: Redemption through the Blood... by G. Campbell Morgan

This is Maundy Thursday in Australia and to celebrate this we bring you... G. Campbell Morgan "The most outstanding preacher that this country has heard during the past thirty years"-this was Dr. James M. Gray's estimate of Dr. G. Campbell Morgan whose ministry spanned the Atlantic and reached from the days of D. L. Moody to the era of World War II.

Born on a farm in England in 1863, he was brought up in a strict Puritanical home where he amused himself by preaching to his sisters' dolls. Although his first sermon before a responsive audience was delivered in a Wesleyan schoolroom at the age of thirteen.

Ordained a minister of the Congregational Church in 1889, the young man became the leading preacher in England, holding several pastorates.

Later he became widely known in the United States and Canada as a Bible conference speaker, lecturer, pastor and teacher before returning to England in 1935 to become the pastor of Westminster Congregational Church in London.
