Synopsis
Excerpt from A Christian Hero
The play of Hamlet without its leading char acter could not be more deficient than a sketch of the life of General Gordon without a careful setting fort'h of his religious views. It would be impossible to point to one in this nineteenth century who was a more complete living embodiment of the truth contained in the text, This is the Victory that over cometh the world, even our faith. He was a man of faith, a man of prayer, a devout student of the Word of God and though he was in the world, and took far more than his share of the ordinary duties of life, he was not of the world. Mr. Gladstone was right when he said from his seat in the House of Commons, Such examples are fruitful in the future, and I trust that there will grow from the contemplation of that character and those deeds other men who in future time may emulate his noble and most Christian example. Gordon must. Ever remain a mystery to those who have not got the key to his character, and my desire is simply to place that key in the hands of young men, so that they may study him for themselves, and may learn to turn to the same source whence he derived his wisdom and his force of character.
