  • Best tracts for witnessing

    Once a lady in Cardiff, South Wales, asked him what he would recommend as the best tracts for witnessing. “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,” he responded, with no further elaboration. “Folks are always wanting promises to stand on,” he used to say.

    On another occasion, Wigglesworth boarded a train at Bradford to travel to London. He selected a corner seat. Eventually, five more people joined him in the compartment.
