Duncan Campbell – birth, Feb. 13, 1898

“We are the ambassadors of eternity in the courts of time, and it is our business to permeate the courts of time with the atmosphere of eternity.”

                Andrew Woolsey, Duncan Campbell, (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1974), 64.

 

“Desire for revival is one thing; confident anticipation that our desires will be fulfilled is another.”

                Andrew Woolsey, Duncan Campbell, (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1974), 113.

 

“Preach the Word!  Sing the Word!  Live the Word!  Anything outside of this has no sanction in heaven.”  [ Campbell’s biographer added right here – Religious movies and plays which involved dramatizing spiritual truth, and particularly the work of the Holy Spirit, were blasphemy to him. ]  

                Andrew Woolsey, Duncan Campbell, (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1974), 152.

 

“Revival must ever be related to holiness, true revival is a revival of holiness”

                Andrew Woolsey, Duncan Campbell, (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1974), 164.

 

Duncan Campbell was born this date in Scotland.  I had the privilege of hearing him speak but once and that very near the end of his holy life.
