On each of my visits to London since that time I have enjoyed an afternoon with him at his home.

His first residence was Helensburg House in Nightingale Road, Clapham, a Southwest District of London.

That beautiful home was his only, luxury; but he spent none of his ample income on any sort of social enjoyment, and what did not go for household expenses went for the support of his many religious enterprises.

On my first visit to him he greeted me in his free and easy, open-handed way.

I noticed that he was growing stouter than ever.
"In me," he jocularly said, "that is in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing," We spent a joyous hour in his well filled library; he showed me fifteen stately volumes of his printed sermons which have since been more than doubled, besides several of his works translated into French, German, Swedish, Dutch and other languages.
