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:
“It’s not a matter of revenge, you know that. When a man turns informer, it’s his life or ours.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
