Henry Drummond Quotes

Rev Prof Henry Drummond FRSE LLD FGS was a Scottish evangelist, biologist, writer and lecturer.

Many of his writings were too nicely adapted to the needs of his own day to justify the expectation that they would long survive it, but few men exercised more religious influence in their own generation, especially on young men. His sermon "The Greatest Thing in the World" remains popular in Christian circles. Wikipedia
