Talk:Charles Studd

Untitled

John Pollock, author of "The Cambridge Seven" wrote these memorable, encouraging and challenging words on the final page of his small book, "And, particularly relevant, not one of the Seven was a genius. Theirs is a story of ordinary men, and thus may be repeated, not only in countries of the West, but in lands which were the mission fields of a century ago but now send missionaries themselves.

The gospel of Christ is unchanged and His call is unchanged. The Cambridge Seven illustrate how that call may be heard. It is a call to 'lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest'. It is a call to dedication. Above all it is a call to the consecration of the whole man, as the prelude to fruitful service.

The message of the Cambridge Seven echoes down the years from 1885: 'God does not deal with you until you are wholly given up to Him, and then He will tell you what He would have you do.'"

Studd himself seems to have thought just as little of his greatness Pollock did. Late in life, Studd was asked by a concerned fellow missionary about what would happen when he died. Studd's reply, laughing, was, "Then the world will finally have lost its greatest fool!" -- or words to that effect. Robertson-Glasgow 10:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I've added some more details from the Grubb bio, particularly names and places. I've also respectfully drastically shortened the account of the Ashes match, which contained more detail about Ted Peate than about Studd, and which consisted of a lengthy narrative, including direct speech, clearly imported from an unknown source. Perhaps more cricketing details about Studd would be useful, but in a more appropriate form.R Bartholomew 20:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this link needs to be removed or archived. That wec-int.org.uk website is no longer in use. Zohre6 (talk) 19:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
