Evan H HopkinsEvan Henry Hopkins was born on September 16, 1837, in the town of Santa Ana, in New Grenada, South America. (Columbia) He was known as Keswick's theologian. From those beginnings until his last Keswick Convention in 1915, Evan Hopkins was one of the eading teachers and exponents of the teaching of the Keswick Convention. His clear grasp of the truth, his intimate knowledge of Scripture, his mastery of assembly, his ability to lead enquirers to count on the promises, his simple but effective handling of an after-meeting, all continued to make him God's unique gift to Keswick and to the Church of God. Mr. Hopkins passed away in 1918. A brief quotation from his friend, Bishop Moule: "I learnt to know him on many sides: his varied wealth of information, his exquisite watercolour art, his perfectly charming cheerfulness, his humour, his large wisdom, always sympathetic, always sane, always animated by singleness of aim towards his Master's glory and his fellow-believer's good. And I saw something of the fair light and sweetness of his Christian home. He is gone. Having beautifully and nobly served his generation in the will of God, he has fallen asleep. And my life, for one of thousands, seems the poorer for his translation. But unless all things are a delusion (and they are not), Evan Hopkins' doctrine and witness about Christ and His holiness are everlastingly true." Read More Read Less
