“Unsaid was her conviction that all this was in preparation for some future endeavor. But what?”
Sam Wellman, Amy Carmichael: Selfless Servant of India

“Willy began to avidly read the Bible and books from Nichols’ small library. Books by Jeremy Taylor taught him how a person tries to attain greater holiness in his life. Apparently this quest for personal holiness was the thrust behind John Wesley’s Methodism too. For the first time Willy began to think maybe a Christian needed to do more than attend church.”
Sam Wellman, William Carey

“So Newton introduced the two travelers to William Wilberforce., About the same age as William, Wilberforce was said to be a force in the House of Commons, constantly haranguing evils of slavery. He was a thoroughly good man who also thought it was high time England stopped persecuting Catholics. Wilberforce was part of a London circle of evangelical intellectuals called the ‘Clapham Sect’ because they all lived in Clapham, a new area of fine homes south of London. Mansions there were built in revived Classical style with columns. The wealthy evangelicals also included Charles Grant and Sir John Shore, another longtime official in the East India Company. These men seemed agreeable to converting heathens, yet remained silent about missionary work in India.”
Sam Wellman, William Carey
