Later Life
Ordained as a Minister with the Presbyterian Church of Wales in 1901 he never accepted a call but dedicated himself as an administrator and a preacher on Sundays. He knew how to communicate with children. A bachelor, he was looked after by his spinster sister and both attended Edge Lane Welsh Chapel. Through his long involvement and his style as a writer he was asked to prepare a two volume History of Liverpool and District Welsh Calvinistic Methodism. These were published in 1929 and 1932 and they provide an overview of the coming of the Welsh to Merseyside from 1787 onwards.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“A real life, a life that leaves a deposit in the shape of something alive.... It’s difficult to say what makes a life a real life.... You could also say it depends on a person being identical with himself.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“For the salvation of his soul the Muslim digs a well. It would be a fine thing if each of us were to leave behind a school, or a well, or something of the sort, so that life would not pass by and retreat into eternity without a trace.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
