CHAPTER 4

HE ROSE FROM THE RANKS OF THE WORKING MEN

Tribute by Pastor John Dick

Paisley Road Baptist Church, Glasgow, Scotland

Reclaimed drunkards,

gamblers, prize fighters,

now enthusiastic workers for God,

all praise the Savior whom they love

for the day they came

into touch with John Harper

TO WRITE AN APPRECIATION OF John Harper is no easy task; for when one has written in the superlative degree, one feels that justice has not been done to the life-work and character of this strenuous worker for God.

I knew Mr. Harper for twelve years, and in 1908, I spent ten days with him while conducting a special mission in Paisley Road. Then I learned to love him, and to know John Harper better was to love him more. We were different men, but there was an affinity between us that strengthened with the years, and his great desire was that I should succeed him in Paisley Road, if ever he should be led out of it. That is now an accomplished fact; but little did we think that his earthly race would be completed at age thirty-nine.
