Book Description

Excerpt from William Fairlie Clarke, M. D., F. R. C. S., Author of 'Diseases of the Tongue, ' Etc: His Life and Letters, Hospital Sketches and Addresses The following short sketch of the life of Dr. W. Fairlie Clarke has been written in hopes that it may be useful and helpful to others. It shows how a devout life may be maintained by a busy professional man, to whom frequent week-day attendance at religious services either at church, chapel, or mission-hall are alike impossible. The flame of religious ardour must in such a case be kept alive by other means. That it can be sustained, and a high standard of holiness be reached, by the active medical practitioner as well as by others whose occupations are not so severe, is, we think, shown in the life of Dr. W. Fairlie Clarke, as it has been in many other instances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
