A Sympathetic and Intimate Biography The study of this biography cannot but have a most wholesome effect. Dr. In wood was truly a man of God, who was used to lead scores of Christians into the deeper experience of Spirit-filled life and to win many unsaved Ones to Christ throughout the world. His influence in foreign lands was very great, as is shown by the following excerpt from the book: “A student in Egypt at the timé of one of Dr. Inwood’s visits to that country, now a pastor himself exercising a revival ministry amongst Egyptians and mission aries, writes: ‘The influence of this visit was even greater than that of his previous one, and the name of Inwood in conse quence became greatly beloved, so much so that a well-known lady said to me, “Whenever his name is mentioned amongst the Egyptians it is as though the name of a close and well-tried friend had been repeated.” ’ ” Something of the secret of Dr. Inwood’s power may. be seen in the prayer of con secration which he offered near the close of his ministry: “O Lord God, I place myself afresh at Thy disposal. If Thou wilt restore me to health and strength I will spend the rest of my life in foreign missionary work shouldest Thou require me so to do. I will make no stipulations or reservations, but go where Thou biddest, to do such work as Thou didst permit me to do in China, India, and Egypt This covenant
