A Padre's Pilgrimage

George O. Fallis

4.9/5 (33215 ratings)

Description:THIS is the very human, very personal story of Lieutenant Colonel the Reverend George O. Fallis, C.B.E., D.D. It was written during the last two years of his crowded life, when he knew that his time at best was short. Out of bulging diaries and scrap-books. folios of sermons and addresses, sheaves of articles in the press, he carved his brief account of his days. Descended from an Irish Methodist family, he was richly endowed with wit and charm, the capacity for great loyalty and consecration, and gift of words. He went out to the Prairies as a lad of eighteen, in 1903, all six feet and 180 pounds of him. They continued to like him in Penticton and Kamloops, Vancouver and Toronto, where he held pastorates, as well as, in the chaplain service during two World Wars, and in his multiplying travels and services. When Dr. Fallis returned from the first war, Dr. S. D. Chown, General Superintendent of the Methodist Church, proposed that he choose a site near Shaughnessy Heights, Vancouver, and build the Memorial Chapel of his dreams. Building churches, heading drives and pilgrimages, chairing conferences and committees, it would be easy to lose the man in the history of the institutions he served with such devotion and distinction. Amid all the vast company of celebrated men he met in war and peace is not always easy to hear his own voice. A token of it is set down here, and leads up to the last lines of this book, written as he stepped across the great divide.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
