Through the great kindness of a medical friend, who has devoted a part of his holiday to looking after my practice, I am enabled to put together these memories of Mr. William Kelly's closing days.
This is in no sense a biography; I should never attempt anything of that kind. What I have done is simply to recall, and write down, some of the things I knew about Mr. Kelly, and especially the last things.
Had his closing days not been spent in my house, these memoirs would never have been written by me; but so many have expressed a desire to know something of them that I have felt constrained to write.
Many, too, who have listened to the living voice in his public testimony, are desirous that his last utterances should be preserved for the good of man, and the glory of God.
How valuable should the closing testimony of such a saint of God be!
Therefore it is that we have penned this little narrative, not to honour man, but in the heartfelt hope that God will bless to many of His own, as also to those who are still unsaved, this testimony of the faithfulness of God to the one He had given as a gift to His people on earth, and sustained by Divine power to his life's end.
Heyman Wreford, The Firs, Denmark Road, Exeter. June, 1906.
