BIOGRAPHICAL FLASHES

Figure


This actual reproduction of birthplace is Silverhill Cottage, near Bolton, Lancashire, England.  Born on March 10, 1882. No silver in the hill.  No wealth in the cottage.  No silver spoon in the mouth.  But—Everything which provides a person with an even break on humble circumstances and daily necessities of life.

Picture of the building where my Grade lessons taught me that the Higher Grades of College, University and Life, makes Graduation an endless process and not an act.


Conversion
January, 1902.  Wherein by faith in the gospel of the New Testament I found right relations with God; fellowship with Jesus; and for twenty years have been enabled by the grace of God to walk in the way of life and toward destiny.

A life without God in it is no life.

From Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson:

I am very happy to have an opportunity to certify to my esteem for Dr. Williamson as a man, and my admiration for his ability as an orator.  Dr. Williamson's personality is such as to demand for him the respect and attention of those with whom he comes in contact.  He is one of the best men I have ever met, both from the standpoint of eloquence and high-minded ideals.

Very truly yours,
