Excerpt from C. Silvester Horne: In Memoriam April 15, 1865 May 2, 1914After about ten years at Kensington Mr. Horne's eager spirit began to crave for some braver sphere. He was sorely tempted by invitations to central churches in Bradford and Liverpool, but yielded to pressure to remain in London. But it became evident that a tough job had to be found for him. A way Opened through Whitefield's Tabernacle, newly rebuilt, falling into the hands of the London Congregational Union. The building was just a red brick chapel - a mere shell with a heavy debt resting upon it, but the London Union, led by Mr. W. H. Brown, determined to make it a central mission for West London. Mr. W. H. Brown offered to erect an institute and to subsidise the effort in its initial stages. To the superintendency of this bold enterprise Mr. Silvester Horne was invited. He eagerly embraced the opportunity, and promised to give ten years to the work. How wholeheartedly he threw all his splendid enthusiasm and manifold energies into establishing Whitefield's need not be recorded now. It has been truly said that be was Whitefield's. His ardent Spirit made the Mission what it is.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
